Burning Knight will have you steal everything and make a run for it in the new demo

I'm feeling a strong Enter the Gungeon riff in the level design, which they're handling in a much different fashion of course. I wonder if that Ancient Revolver the player picks up in the video is a callback of sorts.

Quoting: elgatilJust a quick math fun fact:

There are around 7000M people in the world, therefore with ~20M it means more or less the 0.3% of the world population is connected at the same time in Steam.

Wow
But what's the world population of CS:GO bots?

Amused to see how much of the music is from Touhou Project, a series of games that are...not available for Linux. :D

Incredible 2D action RPG 'Chronicon' has a massive update with a Codex, Voice Acting and more

I was just thinking about this game today. People say it's fun, but it's really hard to get a feel for how the early game (which I'm likely to be playing the most of) is. There's a lot of attention given to the late game, but what I'd really like to know is if the earlier parts are fun, easy to get into, etc.

For a few days you can grab a free copy of 'Maia' - go build a base on a hostile world

I had really, really high hopes for Maia. Back when I bought it in Early Access, it looked so promising and the style really appealed to me. It's a pity that it turned out to be an abandoned mess, not updated (or bugfixed) since late 2018. I'm still seeing reviews that talk about poor pathing, colonists not following the build queue, and people randomly dying of exhaustion because they're standing next to a bed for days without actually getting in it and sleeping.

Still, free is a good price.

Quoting: BotonoskiI feel kinda bad having all these interesting free games at my disposal that are absolutely deserving of my attention, but then ignoring them in favor of playing more Minesweeper.
No idea what the deal is with my recent Minesweeper addiction, it just makes me so angry that I can't help but constantly replay it.
Have you ever tried the Hexcells series? It's pretty much Minesweeper but better in every way.

Quoting: NezchanMany thanks, although I'm getting a file not found error when I try to download.
Should work now, Link fixed.
Works perfectly. You're the hero we don't deserve.

Now I have to figure out why it's not recognizing my Steam Controller (I have SC Controller running so it should work) but does recognize my USB 360 controller when I plug that in.

EDIT: wtf? Steam controller almost works if I turn SC Controller off. Movement still doesn't work, but several of the buttons do, although they're mapped differently. This is all very strange.

Lucah: Born Of a Dream looks great, but I tried to watch some gameplay videos and now my eyes hurt. Might give it a miss after all.

Quoting: NezchanCan't get the game to run. Apparently it relies on an old version of libcrypto (or libssl?) that I don't have.
It relies on SSL 1.0.0 apparently, got the same issue. Will try to wrap up a quick patch for you :)

EDIT:

This should do the trick, just drop the files in the game's folder (where GOG's own 'start.sh' file is): http://jrugia.com/files/Mable_SSL_1.0.0_Patch.tar.gz [External Link]

Compiled from libssl source 1.0.0s.
Many thanks, although I'm getting a file not found error when I try to download.
