Sab669 posted:He probably did reserve it as quickly as could, but still ostensibly pre-order / reservation orders should be getting theirs long before anyone just buying one today I'd imagine. So if he still doesn't have a specific ship date or anything concrete then I think you misunderstand how they're selling them. You have to reserve a Deck, and then you're given a timeframe of when you can purchase it. Like, I reserved a Deck within five minutes of when they went up last year and was given the first timeframe spot, and today I got my email to complete the purchase. Your friend has likely only given Valve $5 for a reservation-- he hasn't purchased something in full and has to wait six months.

Don't buy Glover, especially because it'll just be the ROM with a stolen copy of UltraHLE or some poo poo, but also because it's Glover https://twitter.com/StoodUpOtomo/status/1500859499833270275

Well they aren't "persevering" things if it's not the original, they steal emulators and just send those to the steam depot and send takedowns to sites hosting prototypes of their games.

The huge bundles are handled special in that they don't show in your library immediately in the app, i think you have to do... something... on the website first

When I open the app it doesnt show me owning any of the games Since there are so many games, they purposely made it so you had to manually add games you want from the bundle's download page to avoid clutter - this happened in the previous massive bundles. I believe you can browse your purchased bundle through the app itself. For previous bundles, a kind person (goon, I think?) made https://randombundlegame.com/ which can randomly pick games, help you browse and search via tags, genre, name, etc, and so far it looks like it works for this one too!

crossposting. here's a list of good games in the bundle to get you started! Action Bleed 1 & 2 - Some of the most Treasure-like fun you'll find on PC, blistering jumpy shmupy Minit - an incredible compression of the open world adventure into a tiny space, where you have only 60 seconds to accomplish something every run SuperHOT - the much memed shooter, it's still good Xenogunner - Another Treasure-style romp, I'd say this one plays kind of like Alien Soldier ZeroRanger - one of the highest rated indie shmups in the last decade Arcade/Score Chaser FutureGrind - Stunt game with you're a unicycle grinding on sky rails Super Hexagon - intensely difficult/stressful music game where you evade walls in a huge zooming out level ARPG CrossCode - what if Ys was set in a fictional MMO and your protagonist's silence has actual lore reasons?? note: lots of puzzles in the dungeons Jotun - Hack & slashy with huge hand-drawn well-animated bosses Lenna's Inception - a Zelda-like with a randomly generated world, it's pretty cool and has an optional pacifist route Adventure Alone With You - gamepad-controlled point and click adventure where you explore a dead space colony and build relationships with different hologram AIs Don't Escape: 4 Days to Escape - post-apoc point and click where each action matters as you try to survive each day Lucifer Within Us - point n click detective game that should appeal to fans of pointing out contradictions, with an additional cyber-religion layer on top that informs the mechanics Pendula Swing - isometric point n click adventure game set in a fantasy version of the roaring 20s. you're a former adventurer trying to get their ax back Rusty Lake Hotel - strange and surreal first person point n' click game from a long-time Flash developer. somewhere inbetween a conventional adventure and escape room The White Door - more recent game by the Rusty Lake dev Metroidvania Forma8 - minimalist game where you're a little probe on an alien planet Sundered - by the producers of Jotun, a game somewhere inbetween Metroidvania and Roguelite. you do get new abilities though it's quite linear, but each of the regions in the game is randomly regenerated when you die. Super Win the Game - older non-combat Metroidvania with small similarities to zelda 2 (mostly superficial though) Multiplayer Crossniq+ - versus match puzzler with Dreamcast era aesthetic Towerfall - Maddy's big game prior to Celeste Platformer A Hole New World - switch between the regular world and a literal upside-down world via pits as you progress Binky's Trash Service - one of my top 15 from 2021, a tiny little platformer where you jump around cleaning up trashcans in varied open levels Celeste - you might have heard of this one already Double Cross - grapple hooky platformer with a megaman-style level section and cute art Grapple Force Rena - another grapply platformer, by the Freedom Planet publisher, with similar 16bit art and music. combat is a tiny bit mischief makers. They Bleed Pixels - a difficult platformer notable for allowing you to create your own checkpoints (a feature that would later by mimicked by Ori & the Blind Forest) Toree 3D 1 & 2 - Fun short little 3D platformers that have mild creepypasta elements Ynglet - One of Nifflas' best games since Knytt Stories, an incredibly chill wormy anti-platformer where you dive between safe zones, with an awesome aesthetic and good vibes music Puzzle A Good Snowman is Hard to Build - great short puzzle game by Draknek about... well, it's in the title Baba is You - help your new best friend win every level by pushing and pulling programming logic tiles ala sokoban Cosmic Express - another Draknek puzzler with dogs on trains Golf Peaks - a minigolf game with a hand of cards you play to instruct the ball what to do Elephantasy - Tile-based movement open world puzzler, reminds me of Pocket Kingdom Pipe Push Paradise - open world combination of block pushing and pipe dreams, by the future dev of Bonfire Peaks (also see Hiding Spot in this bundle!) Roguelite Gonner - intense action platformer roguelite Not the Robots - What if Pacman ate furniture instead of pellets Story A Short Hike - wander around a small mountain region helping people out and making the trek up to the peak. cozy as gently caress Alt Frequencies - a time loop game where you alter the timeline by sending information into radio stations Backbone - interesting sci-fi/noir story about classism, bear in mind the game takes a serious sci-fi/body horror turn in the back half. a lot of people hated that, though I thought it worked well. Bury Me, My Love - try to help your partner reach safety over phone messaging, was a well reviewed game on mobile INMOST - a spooky platformer with striking monochrome aesthetic, has platforming similar to Another World, also three protagonists that play completely differently (one puzzle-oriented, one action, one adventure) Neon Struct - short stealth game definitely inspired by imm-sims but solely focused on stealth in this case Figment - weird combination of story/action game/puzzler. it doesn't always work and bosses have musical numbers??? but it's interesting. Sagebrush - Explore the aftermath of a Jonestown-esque cult Wandersong - you sing in different colors to solve puzzles, but really this is a story game with a lot of introspection and great character moments Misc A Dance of Fire & Ice - One-button rhythm game by the future dev of Rhythm Doctor Backspace Bouken - a dungeon crawler with typing-based combat! Cloud Gardens - civilization's over, let's grow some fuckin plants Glittermitten Grove - it's Frog Fractions 2, but some people like the opening game more than the actual hidden game underneath Hidden Folks - a Where's Waldo esque game with cute animations and fun scenes Lost Art of Innkeeping - might not look like much (using RPG Maker assets) but it's a neat little inn management story game that'll run you only 4-ish hours Shutter Stroll - Proteus-style walky sim that's solely about taking pictures of randomly made areas ...now for games I haven't played but look interesting (some from past bundles, some new): 1993 Space Machine, Antecrypt, Attraction Force, Batbarian, Beglitched, Butterflies Ep 1 & 2, Button City, Cardful Planning, Curious Expedition, Danger Scavenger, Delver, Demonizer, Desolate Roads, Eatvolve, El Gancho, Fatum Betula, Fostering Apocalypse, Frick Inc, Hack Grid, Hero Hours Contract, Highway Blossoms, HopLegs, Hypnagogia, Hyperspace Dogfights, Imaginaria, inbento, Interstellaria, Intra-System: Trust Issues, Kill the Superweapon, Klang 2, Long Gone Days, Luna, Magnibox, Micro Dash, Midnight Scenes, Murder at the Cat Show, Nauticrawl, Nebs n Debs, Nina Aquila, Ossuary, Operation Steel, Panic Factory, Pig Eat Ball, PolyRoll, Redd's Runaway, Regina & Mac, Remniscence in the Night, Resynth, Rip Them Off, RITE, Sarawak, Schildmaid MX, Sector 781, Shut In, Solas 128, Spooky Waltz, Stellar Interface, Summer in Mara, Summoner's Mess, Super Mumtaz Bros, Swim Out, Taimumari, Tenderfoot Tactics, The Lost Night, The Manse on Soracca, The Wratch's Den, Trainbow, Ultra Hat Dimension, Volk-san: Egg&Catch, Vulture, Wand Wars, Warpthrough, We Should Talk, Welcome to Elk, Zombusters The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Mar 8, 2022 |

Ghostlight posted:I felt the demo for Nova Islands didn't noticeably change anything I didn't like about Forager while making some things worse in order to have you automate it, but the automation was incredibly bare bones to the degree that your starting limit of robots wasn't even adequate to smelt the resources used to make them. By the end of the demo I had several islands 'automated' but was still heavily resource starved because the bots can like pick things up, mine a thing, or feed machines - which at a limit of three meant my base was a bot punching trees, a bot picking up wood, and another bot doing it's best to shove fuel and ore into a bank of smelters while I hosed around waiting for enough to unlock another island so I could progress. well that stinks  seems like very little else has tried to step into forager's particular shoes

Latest Steam client added the status for cloud saves and the possibility to manually retry failed synchronizations.

That bundle is making me think about how Valve hasn't suspended services in Russia like some other tech companies have. Considering there are Russian users that are review bombing games because the devs release a statement of support, I have to think pulling the plug will make the company a bunch of enemies for life.
