The Spring Cleaning event is good in theory, but when you design everything around algorithms, it's hard for it to not be underwhelming.

Oh hey, Observation is no longer an EGS exclusive and is 50% off. As far as Sci-Fi walking sims go, this is a pretty good one and would recommend. https://store.steampowered.com/app/906100/Observation/

After all the chat in here I'm tempted by Troubleshooter. One thing I'm not clear about it's whether you have a set number of missions (or something like XCOM where you have a counter that you can influence and progressively harder missions) or something with infinite sidemissions and grinding maps with a few hardcoded story missions, a la Battletech or Disgaea. I'm not interested in very complex game that requires experimentation but where your options to power up are limited.

I feel like 90% of people's first steam games are either going to be half-life 1 or half-life 2.

It says my first three games are Counterstrike, Team Fortress Classic, and Day of Defeat. 3 games that I got for free when I entered my cd key for Half-life. Pretty sure it also gave me Blue Shift, Opposing Force, and uhh Ricochet.

Game of the year edition does that to you, although last i checked Day of Defeat came out after that pack, so I have no idea why that's on my list All this is reminding me that at one point a majority of us got our poo poo from Fileplanet, and Fileplanet itself broke for like a week when Day of Defeat 2.0 came out, everybody was downloading it Fargin Icehole fucked around with this message at 14:15 on May 22, 2020 |

i remember when people would brag about having low steam ids. i was up all night in college on the night steam was released, and my irc gaming buddies were talking about it having just came out. so i registered for steam in like the first hour or so that it was publicly available and so my steam id is something ridiculous like under 2500 when they were (still are?) issued sequentially. i remember jumping on a game of half life multiplayer because that was the only game on the entire platform and one of the players had steam id 7Blattdorf posted:
i like it so far. it's like a hybrid of Rimworld and FTL, with a very heavy focus on salvaging space junk so you can laboriously build and expand your ship. there's not a whole lot of content but the core loop is slow paced and meaty, it's not bad if you can tolerate a bit of early access jank Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 14:37 on May 22, 2020 |

Huh. So my first games were The Void, EYE: Divine Cybermancy and L.A. Noire. Eclectic collection, if nothing else. I didn't even remember that myself.

Since Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games, I have to add my unnecessary $0.02. I have ADHD. I can get lost in a paper bag. Hollow Knight's map system is slightly bad. The purchasable decals make it better but it needs a "You are here" pointer as well. If I entered a new area, my immediate priority was finding Cornelius. I'm really hoping Silksong has some QOL improvements for that part.

Blattdorf posted:I see Trashbird is spreading his wings. I'm digging Space Haven as well. Right now I think it's missing a little of the 'oomph' that the games that it draws inspiration from have - like it just seems to have less personality than Rimworld, I feel a little disconnected from my characters (I think a big part of it is the sound design, in Rimworld you can pretty clearly hear what colonists are up to even when they're not on-screen, in Space Haven I'm not noticing any really distinct sounds) but based on the first showing I have a lot of hope for improvements throughout EA and it's still pretty fun to play right now. It's a bit like what The Spatials was going for which was a cool idea that never got over the "hollow" feeling of EA

Actually, there is a decal for exactly that (though it has to be equipped as an accessory and takes up an item slot as such.) Maybe it was added to the game later, idk. I still have trouble with the map.
