My apologies first and foremost for being inactive for quite a bit. I've been spending a lot of time studying philosophy and working on myself. I joined a fraternity last year dedicated to making men better and have since been dedicating a lot of time on improving myself.

Plus my wife and I had baby #4 this past October so add that into the mixture and I just find free time extremely limited. I finally beat Elden Ring in December on my Christmas break and it only took almost an entire year to sit down and play it 😅. One of the greatest games ever btw.

Anyways, I've been lurking more than posting but I'll have you guys know you're always in my thoughts as I hop around.
So in an attempt to make myself a better man, I am going to do some charity. My father always says charity is best done at home first so taking that lesson into heart, I consider D-Pad one of my few homes online so I will do the charity here.

I appreciate everything that @Mirabilis and the mod team have done for us here and am glad to see the site still going strong after all this time. I also appreciate all of you that help keep the site active and the content on the front page. Believe it or not, I get most of my gaming and world news from here and I greatly appreciate all of your opinions on them, even the more controversial ones.

So as a thank you to D-Pad as a whole, I am gifting $100 dollars worth of subs, so that should cover 20 of you?
To qualify for it, all you have to do is say something NICE or appreciative in regards to another poster in this thread. I will then gift your post.
I'll go first, @FactsAreDead I appreciate you. You always go against the grain and tend to get dogpiled a lot for your controversial opinions (which I usually disagree with fyi) but I still appreciate you not bowing out like a little bitch and sticking around.

Very kind of you to say @El Campeador and a very generous offer. Congrats on Baby #4.

We are actually in the process of carrying out some more updates to the site. Hopefully should get them all out before the weekend, though there is a lot of work involved, however, I think that people, esp content creators will get a kick out of them.

Also, a quick reminder that we recently added 3 distinct D-Pad+ themes to the site.
 
shoutout to @cryptoadam @Grisham @Bullet Club and @ManofTwo for keeping the DPad universe awash with daily news and hilarity, that's my nice thing (not sure if any of those are Premium but toss one their way if they aren't)

You already have D-Pad+ which is something I didn't consider. I guess I'll gift @ManofTwo as I see he isn't. Although for reference, I would like to see this thread turn gold so for moving forward I'd like to gift the people who post in this thread. Actually I need him to say something as I can't click his name to gift him anything. Says his profile is offlimits.
 
Thx a lot for the words @El Campeador. Then I'll proceed with the "saying something nice":

Despite very harsh words at more than one occasion, I appreciate that @Mirabilis hasn't banned me, yet. It's testament to how diverse and "free" this community is compared to most forums out there nowadays where you get banned asap for the mildest bs. So for creating this kind of environment where people can talk mostly the way they like to do, thank you.

A secondary appreciation must go to @brap. Dude, come back!

First gold given out. Come on guys, love each other while I throw money at you.
 
yeah, that magnum theme looking pretty slick.

thanks for the gift and help keeping the lights on @El Campeador!

Glad to be of service. I will say, if you guys enjoy the site I would consider subbing. Mira is investing a lot of time and money to make this place a really cool place to hang out and have you seen the tits threads? 5 bucks a month isn't even a Starbucks coffee. For a fraction of a 2-3 minute long lapdance you too can help pay the electric bill here.

That's so kind of you. :) Btw, your avatar pic is one of my all-time favorite albums. (I think I may prefer Homogenic slightly overall from her work, but it's close.)

Go on, appreciate someone.

You're all mostly a truely decent bunch of blokes quite honestly.

@Bullet Club and @ManofTwo are both hammer legends content wise, @HariSeldon , @Amorous Biscuit , @Snes nes and the rest of the brits keep a decent level of civility going, @regawdless is an impossibly decent German, @King of Foxes is unquestionably the chadest of us, @TaySan feels like everyone's kid brother, that you both kind of want to give a wedgie too, but would beat the shit out of anyone actually giving him shit, @and 3 others is a top class memelord that has made me laugh more than any of the rest of you, @Grisham just has the best taste in Tavern quality crumpet, @DonDonDonPata has said some of the damned most insightful things on here and @Dr. Farnsgoth, @teezzy, @Stouffers @Stifler's Mom @skintin and @Allnamestakenlol are just great guy's I'd happily grab a drink with.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a load of others, but half cut on ale as I am, that's all the people that come immediately to mind.

We should organise a real life meet up and pub crawl round London or something. Fly all you yanks and euro's over, get Taysan laid with a British tart, and see who can get stabbed by my capital's strongly diverse, friendly 'locals' first.

Go on, appreciate someone.

I appreciate all you guys. (gals too if there are any. I honestly don't know, lol.) It's nice to have a small-ish family of gamers so we all can enjoy that common ground of pleasure. (pain for some, ha. :p)

I don't want + though. Give it to others. I appreciate your generosity though. Keep the good vibes flowing.

First I just want to thank everyone for making such an excellent community for us displaced reprobates to have a laugh and take life a little less seriously. Of all the forums I've frequented over the years, this place really has a true community feel.
Rather than gift me, a subscribing simp, can I nominate 3 people to gift because I don't play by the rules?

I want to nominate @Franky Family for his ardent dedication to One Piece. He's just a better human being. His love of that series is infectious and I'd gladly have him regale me with tales from the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy


@nominedomine as, even though he is a shameless Sony shill (try saying those three words quickly), he's still up for a debate about vidya and I believe his heart is in the right place. His loyalty should be an inspiration to us all.

@Hostile_18 as his username couldn't be further from his personality and his D-Pad's GOAT threads were always fun, tense and genuinely exciting to see what match ups were coming. A warm, welcoming downright good dude.


I'd nominate everyone but I don't want to bankrupt you @El Campeador

Oh, and @Grisham for the sheer amount of tits he posts. That's a man with his priorities in the correct order. Also, he is ruthlessly quick with gaming news, articles and things of interest. I wish I could be as proficient, punctual and together as he is.

Since @nominedomine is the only one without D-Pad+ I'll gift it to him.
Nomine, I kindly ask you to say something nice or appreciative about someone else.

Phil Spencer has been pretty quiet this week, I appreciate that.

I just found out what D-pad+ is, thanks for hooking me up.

I belive your the biggest gnu/linux lover here with all that microsoft hate.

If it doesn't work on Linux I'm not playing it as a matter of principle.

I haven't booted Windows in months. The last time I used it was to set it up just in case I ever needed it and so far it wasn't needed.

I have no idea what any of this means, I don't speak British. Since everyone's yanking everyone else's chain and you already have D-Pad+ who would you like me to gift it to?
I appreciate you bro <3
@kiNeMs because of their donations to the February game giveaway
Since you already have D-Pad+ I guess I'll give it to them!
Thank you @Bullet Club and @Grisham for the excellent content.
You already have D-Pad+ and so does Grisham, what do you want me to do here Tay, you're cranking my knob.
