Looks like a new Wildermyth patch dropped today - it's now Deck verified! Looking forward to giving this a shot if I can beat Tactics Ogre before Crisis Core - FFVII Reunion drops on 12/13.

Potionomics has a new patch that says it added a lot of ways to filter things. That was most peoples' main complaint about the game, and now it sounds like it's been solved. Right?

Ooooh this is excellent. I got back into Wildermyth recently. It's a very comfy game.

Snake wins.

If I have Hitman 1 and 2, what should I buy to get the most of 3?

I played the first two missions of 1, barely touched 2, but would like to give 3 a shot based on the reviews.

I played the poo poo out of the original four hitman games but I... Just get overwhelmed with the number of choices in the new trilogy. I'm hoping the third time will be the charm.

3 is an extremely good game and would be a great place to retry the earlier maps from the Trilogy!

So, assuming you have Hitman 1 & 2 on Steam and are getting 3 there as well, then Hitman 3 Standard Edition will be fine. You can play the levels from 1 & 2 within 3, although note that if you chiefly played Hitman 1 you'll be starting fresh, there's no way to import progress from that.

Most of the extras for 3 are just a way to unlock levels from 1&2 without needing to own those games separately. The exceptions are Hitman 3 Deluxe and the 7 Deadly Sins pack, but those only add escalation missions and are honestly skippable until you're really running out of things to do in the game.


One last thing would be to look at either the Trilogy Premium Addon for Hitman 3 OR the Expansion Pass for Hitman 2. Either of those will add 2 new (very good) extra maps - a NY bank and a Maldives resort - if you don't already have them.

The rats aren't your friends or your enemies. They are the red barrels of the dark ages that you can use to aid you in getting sick kills, but also get screwed over by if you're careless.

There are no more daily deals or flash sales. All sales are constant over the entire event.

There might be more/different deals during the winter sale in a month.

The only thing in steam that can potentially give you anything useful is trading cards and in-game items that you can flip on the marketplace. Although the average sell price is so abysmally low that an hour spent posting items for auction (if you even have that many) is going to return less than minimum wage.

the lack of a horror or puzzle category is disappointing so I couldn't put up Taiji or Signalis for anything

I've got a decent gaming desktop, and I want to be able to steam link it to something next to the tv so I can play steam games via remote play on the couch using the TV. I realise that wifi is not the way to go for this, I have ethernet all over my house so that's ok.

I've got a 2013 macbook pro, but it doesn't have ethernet (I could get a dock for it I suppose), and there's a ps4 and ps5 at my TV. What's the best way to do this? I assume it's via the macbook, but does that support my controllers? (switch pro, ps4, ps5 controllers)

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
I think Steam should be able to detect those controllers fine on a Macbook with no issues, but I'm not 100% positive as it's been a few years here. And yeah I'd get a USB->Ethernet adaptor for the Macbook, typically it will be a drastic performance improvement over wireless. If you're playing mostly turn based or slower games though you may not mind a little latency.

Nuclear Throne x Monster Hunter pretty much but not as much material gathering.
The gunplay(you can use a goose as a tommy gun that shoots out explosive eggs on reload) is great, the art is beautiful, and the entire thing just oozes personality.

Bosses can hunt you or vice verse across the different arenas but it's not nearly as annoying as it sounds since you move quick and the bosses don't overstay their welcome.

Yes, it's early access but it's very much full to the brim with plenty of variety, I think it might be leaving EA soon even? And it's on sale for less than :10bux:

This is based on Mac OS version. Sony’s documentation indicates DualShock 4 compatibility needs Mac OS Catalina (2019) and DualSense needs Big Sur (2020) so make sure your MacBook can update to these first.
