First off thanks @delenn13 for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!
Time travelā¦ hmmmmā¦ I see a lot of times that I could have done different things but yeah, captain hindsight is not the best of superheroes out there.
I remember looking at a forum that gave you bitcoin for posting, we are talking the times where a pizza was worth 100.000 bitcoin or something like that, and I remember telling myself āmeh, its not worth the timeā
I would travel to 10 year old me and tell myself to do everything exactly the same but just call your parents more often and visit them more, you never know how long they will be there for you.
That being saidā¦ probably to Wuhan with a flamethrower on December 2019? maybe? get immediately arrested but whatever.
If itās allowed, I will go forward and forward and fowardā¦ till I could witness the end of time or where no one can go back and change my history XD
If not, I could just get back as long as I can, so I can have more time to play games, watch animes, listen to old school musics, to know more about the world and people, make more friendsā¦ so much soā¦

Thank you for hosting this party of imagination @delenn13
Time travel, although just theory and speculations at the moment, is a complicated thing. Some forms of media say something as small as killing a bug could alter the future. Others say if you donāt have sexual interactions with your ancestors everything will be fine. Other forms of media donāt seem to really care to much (Iām looking at you Terminator) Now one thing I think most people agree on is that if you try to change something in the past it could have negative affects on the future.
Although Iād like to go back in time and maybe prevent the world wars or something, that would probably decrease my chance of actually being born, obviously i wouldnāt want that. Also by preventing those wars it would alter the history of many peoples lives, I would not want to impose on other peoples life.
If I could go back and change some things around without affecting several people including myself then there would be many points in my life that I would make changes. Like going back to high school and telling that Gr. 9 self to actually try you can do this. Going back further I would try to prevent various things that werenāt exactly the best things people in the past of done. For an example here in Canada, I believe in Toronto there was an operation started by the police called āOperation Soap,ā which as a summery of that unfortunate event is the police were going around the city cleaning the streets of homo sexual people. As far as I know thats the worst event that happened in Canada, Iām sure theirs more but I havenāt been told or taught about them. Moving on, of course the major wars I would try to put a stop to them.
This is probably getting a bit too long but I got more to say so why not. If I could only time travel one way I would travel to 1978 and live the rest of my life from that point. Why you may ask, well the main reason is music. i could live through an entire decade of fantastic music that we donāt see anymore. Well we do see remakes that are garbage. Of course also listen to older music from the 70ās to well as old as I can go. (I listen right now to music from the 90ās to the 40ās very little modern music, usually just soundtracks from games)
Iād like to enter for:
Overlord II
Titan Quest
Knights of pen and Paper
Thanks for the giveaway @delenn13 and thanks for the whole time travel topic, this one actually got me thinking quite a bit.
I bought this bundle and kept like 5 games for myself the rest although I didnāt have them, I just gave them to some friends. Every half hour Iād just drop a batch of keys in our discord channel and let it be a first come first serve basis.
Edit: Iād also travel back to December 2019, buy a ticket to Wuhan China and prevent COVID-19.
If I were allowed to go back in time, Iād just wish I told my past self to not do anything that is hugely embarrassing or would affect my proficiency in some way. Iād also like to use it to find my grandmaās parents just to see them in some form, maybe even help them. Yes, I know these kind of things help shape who we are and all that (I havenāt watched Click but I think that was what it was trying to say?) but this is a what if thing, itās just an interesting form of speculation on what would happen instead.
Enough for personal ramblings, as for games:
If I could time travel I would go back to my first day of college and tell my past self everything I did right and wrong. I think it would be super interesting to see if with that information I would be in a better or worse place than I am now.
Well there would be many things I would want to change if I could go back in time, and itās not just limited to one period mind you. But yeahā¦ I would like to see what the future is like. Maybe a 1000 years into the future would be good. Is space no longer the final frontier? Having been relegated to the pretty much the mundanity of contemporary air travel. Are people living in arcologies? Is it a utopia or dystopia? What is the futureās unexpected yet ubiquitous invention? Like the internet and the smartphone in today. Those kind of stuff I suppose.
Of all the games on offer, I have a few already, and otherwise, the only one Iād be interested in, is this one: Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing on Steam
Sonic Sega Allstars Racing
Answer to Question:
No. I would not go back in time at all.
However, what I would prefer to do is return to before I decided to leave on the ferry to go to the Celestial, and not go. I would essentially have never been imprisoned here, but that would be for the benefit of all. Such would be reversing a split infinity, and thus has nothing to do with time travel.
Hey, @discobot, did I win? Are you sure you mean to say no to me?
If I were to time travel, there is one specific thing I regret not doing to date in my lifetime.
That would be about May 5th, 2016 at or about 1700 Hours. I was in college at the time and had just gotten done eating at one of the on campus dining facilities (because I worked there). It happened to be finals week and on my way out I met a friend I had made while working there. She had invited me to join them for a Bonfire thing her family was having a bit outside town. Since I had just eaten, I had declined. She offered again, saying I didnāt need to eat or anything but to just come and chat, etc. I declined again stating needing to prepare my dorm room to move at the end of the week. ā¦Yeahā¦
So I would go back and tell my former self to accept the invitation.
I recently met someone that reminds me of how well we got along and it just kinda stings a little bit. But with growing as a person comes pain, so Iāll just need to work through it. Hopefully someday Iāll cross paths with them again.
I fully expect some people to suggest to go look up this person and find them. Trust me, I tried that. She isnāt a social media type of person, so itās incredibly difficult to get back in touch. I honestly donāt even know if she has a smart phone tbh. It was a couple of years before I realized I was a dumbass, so all Iāve got is what I think her name is. Considering I canāt find squat for that name, I think itās a pretty good guess.
Wow thank you for the huge giveaway! And with such a fun question too.
Time travelā¦I would have two options. The curious mind option and the make money option.
My curiosity wants to go back to the past and find out the secrets of ancient technology. What is greek fire made of? How was Damascus steel made? What is the secret ingredient in Roman concrete? Stuff like that.
My money making option is just memorizing big businesses before the bust. Like Enron. Putting as much money into the company and pulling it out a year before it collapses.
So there is no suspicion of insider trading. Picking out lottery tickets? That would be too obvious thoughā¦I think gambling on sports and races will be easiest to stay hidden. I would also make the bet of who would win presidencies. All in on Trump winning 2016 and at those odds it would be laughable to do so and I will probably bet against the mob so they owe me. You would be surprised on the billions you can make just by knowing even 1 year of stocks history.
Iād like to ask Richard McDonald (the creator of macdonldās) what his reaction is to the current state of Macdonldās as a company and businessā¦ (Sorry I know how odd that sounds )
My partner is taking her Phd and her main thesis is based on the metaphysics of time and whether or not time is socially constructed by our collective or individual thoughts/consciousness.
We often speak about paradoxes and travelling back and forth through time.
Weāve just finished watching a Sci-Fi series called DARK on netflix and that really got me thinking and Iāve come to the semi-conclusion that time travel might be possible but to change the path one takes would be impossible. Imagine going back to the 80ās to change something you did e.g. Get in that taxi or not get in that taxi.
If your current time travelling self regrets getting in the taxi so you prevent the taxi from arriving to pick your past self up, then the instant you prevent that means that you never got in the taxi, ever, and therefore should have no current memory of that. Therefore no need to travel back in time to begin because thereād be no regret to begin with thus creating a paradox. Unless 2 realities are created whereby unless you are experiencing your alternate self the whole thing was pointless since it didnāt change anything for you.
Also thereās the whole travelling through time is fine but what about space? If you travel back in time the earth would be in a different position in the milkyway which itself would have moved so youād be stranded in space?
I dunno, it all kinda bakes my noodle!
Anyway if I could travel back in time and I had one wish Iād do something to save the Dodo.
I mean look at it! Itās adorable and should never have gone extinct.
Anyhoo! May I enter for:
Super Time Force Ultra
Overgrowth
Spelunky

If time travel existed, I know exactly what Iād doā¦ I think about it every single day.
When I wake up in the morning, Iād turn back time so I could get some extra sleep.
Iād travel back to when I ate some incredible food and do it again.
Iād also have to travel a bit into the future to work off that extra weight though (start doing an exercise and just fast forward? )
Could this rule apply to assignments too?
Since Iām smarter now, maybe I should relive high school? Get good grades, donāt have social anxiety. Ahh, the life.
Iām not that keen to go back and change something but Iām very interested to travel back to key moments in history and witness the truth of what had happened, as not everything was documented and the sparse remnants of history we do know might not be what we think they are.
If time travel is possible and I could change something ummā¦ People keep asking themselves āWhere did I go wrongā or āWhen did I go wrongā but I know deep down where I went wrong soā¦ If itās possible, I want to change it of course. At least by doing that Iāll give my mind a little bit more peace and I wonāt overthink every single thing. But yeah, I also want to spend more time with my family cuz these days I realized that I havenāt really spent family time well. But! I also enjoy what Iāve become now so I wonāt regret anything
So many games in one giveaway.
EDIT: I personally think if I went back in time, other things might screw up instead. Not only in my life but in the history. So I would like to not change a thing.
The consequences of small decisions / changes were displayed in a movie you probably all know - The Butterfly effect - acted by Aston Kutcher. The movie is built on the theory of chaos - a small change / small event - a butterfly flying may cause a tornado kilometers away.
So rather not want to touch my life or the historical events.
Thanks for the reminder @PeteMcc. Is te question well answered?
But there stands a question if you ever went back in time, could you as one person change the history?
I think you have to answer the question @mediiiiiiii.
EDIT: If you are now asking me if the question is well answered I would say so, but I would have used Back To The Future over the Butterfly Effect as the example as it is the far superior set of movies (for The Butterfly Effect I never saw the sequels, though they were straight to DVD and seemed terrible). I love a good time travel movie and honestly the Butterfly Effect is a decent one, but one scene absolutely wrecks the experience for me, if you are familiar with the movie its the scene in jail where he tries to convince other inmates of his powers, it completely disregards their own rules they set up for time travel (this is all from only one viewing of this movie, donāt know why it stuck with me). That whole sequence was some pretty shoddy and lazy writing. Rant over, I just dislike when time travel movies do it (BTTF 2 kind of does it as well in one scene but there are ways you may be able to get around that one).
and good luck to everyone!
