Quoting: jnriversI think it's pretty sad how vsync has become a lost pinnacle of technology that current developers struggle to once again reach and achieve. Remember 10 years ago when our graphics draws sync'd with the monitor refresh? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Then again, in (hopefully less than) 10 years we will wonder why it was ever different from the monitor refresh being sync'd to the graphics draws.

Quoting: AryvandaarAre you complaining about that?
Of course, it is a "Luxusproblem"! :)
(Does this translate to "happy problem"?)

The 'Humble Freedom Bundle' is huge and well worth picking up

Quoting: M@yeulCWoops, I screwed hard on this one. I wanted to get back home and use my Linux PC to redeem the keys (Linux purchase and such), then realized that games that I wanted were gone from the bundle (No time to explain and nuclear throne -- maybe subnautica if I have a vive in the future and it get ported to Linux. Strike that. Every game I missed. I'm up for a trade with someone else on these (against key from other bundles I might not have redeemed)).
But what's heartbreaking is that, as I rushed to press purchase (greedy reflexes), I forgot to customize my split :/

Don't do the same mistake as me, but be aware that their steam keys seem to be in limited supplies. I don't know what it means for the game that "may" come soon.
It seems both games are back in action!

Quoting: TuxeeAnd you are one kind of a troll. Liam, I'm done here (at least with this "discussion").
Wait - you don't believe someone who has done a complete one minute search on the internet?!? ;)

Quoting: GuestI don’t find this bundle interesting. I don’t like that the devs get nothing.
It seems the devs wanted to help gather donations. They are donating their games to reach that.

Valve set to replace Greenlight with Steam Direct

Quoting: ArthurDo not forget about free (gratis) games, including Free and Open Source games. Sure they can use itch.io and other stores, but the potential audience is so much larger on Steam.
Good point.
I was happy to find these on Steam...:

They are going to need to do something about their "newly released" lists, as they will get rammed.
There already is a list of "popular new games", though:

Quoting: Teodosiowe need to start some serious pushing if we want to get somewhere.
Fortunately, I already am somewhere: at the place where I've got more good stuff to play than time.
Of course, even more choice would be great, but I'm relaxed about it, as it's already good as it is.
