Quoting: EhvisAlso noticed another thing. It used to be enough to "have" humble monthly to get your 20% off in the store. They now changed it to require it to be unlocked.

I've not had to do that? Odd, it just happened as I would have expected.

No. You could use the 20% until you paused. After that it was gone until the new month started.

Quoting: spjoeBasingstoke and Earthlock have no Linux icon. Do these games officially support Linux?

They have Linux icons on Steam.

You're paying quite the premium for those privacy features though. Did a quick check on what it would cost to have it "here" (including VAT and such), it would be about 40% more expensive than a locally available laptop of similar specs. For that difference I would sort out my own privacy settings.

Quoting: EhvisAs someone with an aerospace engineering background, I should really put more time into this game than I have. Ok, where to fit this in the todo list.

Whoa, you will probably love the Ferram Aerospace Research mod (the author is no longer active, but there's a fork for recent KSP versions).

I have looked at mods to make things a bit more realistic in term of size and physics. I was hoping to find a mod that would replace the two body physics implementation with a three body one so that all those stable orbits wouldn't be so stable any more. But since it would still be "Kerbal physics", it seemed like a good idea to first see how that worked.

Quoting: Liam DaweAlso as a note: since July 30 is my birthday our thoughts on it may be delayed ;)

So what you really want to say is that you want to play and not write about it. But really, we all have to work on our birthdays, can't leave us in the dark!

I can imagine that it's hard to get seen in the flood of games. Especially in the roguelike segment where you're not exactly alone. Need some luck there I think.

Still a very good show to get a full game on there at 17. Even if motivation was a problem, you still managed to get through it and get it done. Don't think I would have replicated that at that age.

Quoting: NagezahnThere's another demonstration video available which, for a graphics tech noob like me, illustrates very well what global illumination can do for your game. I was very impressed:

Thanks, that video seems much better to me at showing what it does. A clear demonstration of indirect lighting. Seems they did keep tonemapping turned off, which means the insides look extremely dark. It also demonstrates a downside of the system. Since the probes don't extend far from the camera, there are visual lighting changes when scenery comes into the view of the probes. But it's still early, so they may be able to improve these transitions. Still would be interested to see a properly textured scene with a transition with all the bells and whistles turned on from darker low level interior lighting to full sunlight outside. These transitions have always been problematic for current rendering engines.

Seems Monado has progressed since I last checked. The Valve Index is directly supported and has rotational support and distortion correction. Positional support with lighthouse 2 is in its initial state. Also interesting is that there is support for libsurvive (new to me) which apparently has support for the Vive (pro) and Index complete with positional support. So all in all it seems the open source initiatives are catching up.

Quoting: razing32I played this a while back with friends.
Kinda lost intrest when an update made progression more grindy.(to skills)
Is it sitll the case ?

That depends on whether or not you know what you're doing. Currently in a game around day 165, but haven't die since day 12. By day 50 we were pretty much OP. So it might seem grindy if you're also trying to figure things out, but if you do progression is fairly quick.
