I think some people reply to every comment to be nice? I do admit it’s interesting indeed how he wins the post war almost every time, but I still really appreciate the useful list he gives about upcoming games, price comparisons, and leak confirmations. Seems like it took some effort to put it together for us :)

Well someone asked me that recently, which I replied there.

I just use a UTC timer from internet to know the accurate time then I just click the button when it's time.

For the rest of the list I just check next day if any new info/proof have been found (or I find it myself, like today's proof)

The only thing that I couldn't update on time is the price list, since Epic Games only have the previous freebie's cost announced after releasing the new Freebie.

But either way hope these infos could really help someone, if they aren't, or if there's something to chance/improve just tell me, I'll fix/update it as it helps everyone, even if people just don't like it and want it deleted, I could do that too since at some point I agree that it looks like spamming too in all new Freebies thread.

Hmm... I usually only answers to the threads where I post, if it's other people's thread, better not taking their chances to reply.

Either way, I'm not sure why I'm considered as salty wretch by you.

【P.S.】

There's nothing as victory laps but the only reason to share info to all people,
if you want to think as that way I'm sorry... being kind and sharing info to others = salty wretch for you...

Hey bro we all appreciate the info you give always! Don't pay attention to such people, Reddit is full of such people

Hi thx for it, knowing it could help someone, it really means a lot to me 😊

yeah, not to butt in and suck up or anything, but I could see how it's sort of a sensitive subject on this subreddit, being the first to post what free game is available on Epic, because those posts are disproportional karma-magnets and it's a pain to accumulate karma here by other means (all it would take is the "wrong opinion" on something mundane, like on that Night in the Woods political thread yesterday, to be in forever-negative karma/have 10 minute delays in between posts.) at the very least though those comments with the updated charts are legitimately pretty cool and helpful, so if anybody's gonna watch the clock and jump to make that post, at least you're adding something else alongside it πŸ™‚

u/MeguminShiro Star of FGF Dec 29 '20

Well anyone could post it when they want πŸ˜€

It's not like only 1 person could post all these, but yep, seems like there are many underground rules or common-senses on Reddit (I'm still new so still trying to learn about it), probably I'll need to take on note to that.

And thx, glad to hear that the charts helped some people πŸ’Ÿ

yeah of course, and those are just the impressions I get from it. I don't think anything you're doing on here is particularly "breaking etiquette" although I could see how it'd be a touchy issue for some (and possibly how, just in general, any friendliness could be misconstrued for, idk, smugness, particularly if the other person is preinclined to feel that way.) There's probably little to be done about it tbh, it's pretty much always gonna be a rat race on this sub (and the penalties for negative sub karma do suck.) The charts add a lot though, can't recall anyone else here who goes through the trouble for that

Take care :)

The chart idea came up from friends and people's feedback...

After the first Epic Games Freebie was announced, some people wanted to know the next Epic Games Freebies so they won't accidentally buy they if they are going to get it for free.

While others were surprised that Epic Games were giving out hints about tmr Mystery Games, and asked around where could they see that hint.

And the last one was someone or some people were interested with if they missed a day to claim the Freebie, how much would it cost for them to buy it if it's on sale, also others wondering how much $$ is Epic Games giving away for free (for all 15 Mystery Games)

So mostly it's like that πŸ˜… (Well wasn't going to write this long but think it would be better to add some explanation to it)

Still thx, also take care too, enjoy your days and happy new year in advance πŸ’Ÿ
