Quoting: KimyrielleThe poor privacy controls were the reason why I didn't add friends to Steam at all. I don't want to broadcast all over the world which game I am playing when, and for how long. I wonder why people thought that's anyone's business?

Huh? Maybe your idea of friends is different than mine, but I surely want my friends to see when I'm in a game and what that game is. I want them to see and join most of the time.

I'm glad for the additional control. My steam profile is private because I wanted a couple things hidden so I woudn't get spammed for trade offers, but then I couldn't connect other sites that have better dashboards for viewing your own data.

As long as we're talking about further improvements, I think Valve should look at how CCP implements API key permissions. It's wonderfully more granular with optional expiration times even.

That actually looks fantastic and I can picture myself playing it. Adding to wish list.
Speaking of wishes, I wish I knew how much it was going to cost. If it was $20, I just might buy it on release day!

Quoting: g000hI expect that a large number of people who would be interested in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire already own Wasteland 2, i.e. It isn't really a great incentive. Noting that Wasteland 2 has been in numerous bundles and sales over the past 2+ years.

Well, I'm part of the small number of people then. I do not own Wasteland 2 and I probably want Pillars of Eternity II. The catch is I haven't started the first Pillars of Eternity and I'm only mildly interested in getting Wasteland 2. So, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, it's not worth my $50 to pre-order a game when I haven't started the predecessor. :(

I'm looking forward to trying this one once my kids get a little bit older. :) It's on my wish list. I will probably wait until it's out of EA.

I really like this information. I will certainly try toggling the CPU power modes. I recently got a new GPU and all my games look so much better and my average FPS is decent, but they could be smoother. Hopefully this helps a little bit (not expecting a silver bullet of course).

Quoting: Avehicle7887DXVK sooner or later will make me break my Linux-Only games rule. I gave Witcher 3 a test today using Wine 3.5 (non staging) + dxvk 0.41, it was pleasing to see almost 60fps on high settings.

Yeah, I actually bought KOTOR the other week from GOG so I could play it on WINE. Until GOG gets a client for managing their games (I know there's Lutris), I'm probably going to stick with Steam. However, for the very few games I want to use in WINE (I think two so far), I'd rather have the GOG version.

Sounds really cool to me. I like the art style.

Ah, cool. I've looked at this one before a little but decided against it. I guess I didn't look into it that well. You saying that there's some role-playing and conquering lands isn't always where you get your kicks makes it sound unique enough to grab. Thanks for the blurb! Glad I could get this one for free. It's a good move by Paradox because, yes, I will buy some DLC if I end up liking this game a lot. I rarely buy DLC for games but I liked Stellaris so much (90+ hours in four weeks, anyone?) that I gave in with delight.

I can't make this one, but I look forward to beating all of you that can't win.
