Quoting: PhlebiacAttempting to detect a user's primary browser would be a challenge though, wouldn't it? Parsing User-Agent strings and trying to guess which browser users would prefer to play their games on seems like a hassle when you can just ask.Quoting: Liam DaweSince browsers can run a lot of games nowadays, how do people feel about a primary browser question?Seems like you would get better data from Google Analytics or crunching your httpd logs?

Quoting: slaapliedjeIs it explained why the glitches are there? I mean to me it looks like just a graphical glitch like the memory is reading the wrong tiles and just makes a flashy weird mess. I kind of accepted it with the rubble at the beginning, but one of the beasties I attacked in the tutorial dungeon didn't seem like it belonged.It all belongs. It's a weird game, in a good way.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAnyhow more about the game, it seems that I too had to use the 'useGLFW: False' on Debian Sid, and then the initial building had a bunch of weird flashing tiles.The glitches are part of the game and supposed to be there. :)

Don't forget Encodya, it's coming out next week!
Looking at the list of participants, doesn't look like an old-school adventure fan like me will run out of games to play any time soon.

Quoting: WindousicoNow we have the same prices in Poland, Spain and Germany (since 2015-2016).Just a quick look at some random games from bigger publishers at steamdb.info shows that the Polish Zloty prices tend to be anywhere from 5 to 30 percent lower than the prices in €. Maybe that's not a big enough difference, but clearly the prices are not the same. This is most likely true for the EEA/Eurozone though, seeing as pricing is set by currency.

Quoting: vhost19 out of 27, so more than a few. But still, a significant percentage of the EU countries still have their own currencies. Many of these countries should be pursuing to adopt the shared currency as part of the membership agreement at some point in the future, but I think the specifics of this process are mostly left to the member states.Quoting: LordDaveTheKindOnly few eu countries use euro.Quoting: CorbenI'm wondering which are those price differences within the EU? Checking SteamDB the countries using Euros aren't listed separately. So I guess at least via the Steam store those prices are all the same. Then it will be keys that you can buy through retail boxes, and I guess there the store which sells them defines the price. Having those region locked seems strange to me.I guess it is referring to the practice of distributing some Game Keys and blocking them if issued in a different country, which sounds like a scheme for applying different prices.

Quoting: thoughtfulhippoSo they just want your data. Nah, not worth it to me.Quoting: tuubiI think the game only activates on the account you link.No, they give you the key directly and a convenient 'Redeem' button that just links to the Steam register key page.

Quoting: g000hI think the game only activates on the account you link. That's how they make sure people don't simply resell the keys. And I'm not desperate enough for free games to bother with multiple accounts.Quoting: tuubiI think I'll skip future giveaways on Humble unless they're something on my wishlist. Last time I linked my Steam account, unlinking it required two emails to their support and more than a week (and proof that I own the account) for them to actually get it done. Not worth the hassle, and I don't want to leave the accounts linked.You could also create a 'spare' Steam account, link that to Humble (and leave it connected), claim the giveaway, and use the Steam key with your official account.
