World of One, a fantastic looking and dark indie puzzle platformer

Limbo spoiled this type of game for me. I don't expect any other to be able to compete now.

I finally completed Half-Life 2 on Linux and it was quite the experience

Five minutes into the very first version of Half-Life, which was acclaimed for its physics, I ran into a physics bug, a box sticking in the wall. Never played any Half-Life then. So... you're not alone.

Looks like the experimental Linux version of Arma 3 will get the 64bit treatment

Looks like they're really dedicated to their "experiment"!

It does! There's a website that has timed delete, say for an hour or ten minutes or so, so you cannot remove old posts after they generated a discussion. Might be useful.

Torment: Tides of Numenera, early port report and thoughts

Quoting: wolfyrionThey were very generous to crowdfunding backers and they gave to them extra copies of the game. Some crowdfunding backers got like 2-3 extra keys , both Steam keys and GOG keys.
Well I guess now all the Gaming Black Markets are flooded with those keys in half price....
I got (*) two keys for Journey Down first and second part respectively when pledging for the third one (my only Kickstarter pledge) by accident. I'l look if I can use them to get two people into the game who then hopefully buy the other episodes - or just have them not used at all.

(*) would "have gotten" be correct here?

Quoting: Jewgeni Filippowitsch IwanowskiI just discoverd "small mode" via View -> Small Mode. Honestly this has already changed my life.
I tried it now as well, but I prefer the images of grid view...

Quoting: AimelaYeah, I'd like to be able to filter games by user tags and listed features. I'd simply like to type in "sci-fi" or "local multiplayer" and find relevant games in my library.
Combining tags in a search would be good!
There's no such feature, right?
By the way, is any external site doing that?

I neither found Leopard's posting helpful or interesting - nor Liam's posting calm.

BTW, I've heard (here :p ) that the Steam GUI might change some day, what are you thinking about this?

My biggest complaint by far would be that I can't sort games by release of the Linux version.

Quoting: LeopardThat leak happened a month ago.
Your point being? The video is from only a few days ago, which gives the leak some extra merit.
I've talked about these images actually,not this video.Since then everybody was aware that Steam is on to some changes.
I wasn't. Thanks to GoL, now I am.

Quoting: HollowSoldierSo.. Is there a being on this planet who isn't using small mode? Hope it won't be removed. The client is bloatware enough already.
Never heard of "small mode".
