Steam Summer Sale is up, free game from Humble Store & Fanatical sale too
22 Jun 2018 at 7:46 pm UTC

I've traded for the following games (trading away unwanted windows bundle keys that I've accumulated since the very first Humble Indie Bundle) in the last week:

Tomb Raider 2013
The Long Dark
Dead Cells
Insurgency
Verdun
The Signal from Tolva
GoNNER
Bioshock Infinite

For free. INSANE. I had no clue how much value I had sitting there! I still have lots of keys left also, feels like I wont buy any new games for a LONG time. Thank you nice people on GoL and steamtrades.com (my list there [External Link]). I even made sure to get humble gifts only so that developers are sure to get their due. Wow.

I just discovered steamtrades site, and I think I can just trade for the games I want. I hope someone notices that they are redeemen on Linux!

The FPS Insurgency: Sandstorm looks good from the E3 trailer

I just started playing the original Insurgency, and it is really fun (traded for the key with s8as8s, thanks!). Especially the sound is great, very atmospheric, and people are suprisingly nice and fun in chat/voice. I am not very good at it, but people are nice and tolerant anyway. Only once did I step into a server with rude idiots in it, but then I found a better one. Also very cute with the server browser, havent seen those for soo long and community run servers is just cool.

This being a cinematic trailer of course makes it more dramatic than it is in play, but I just hate the whole "realism"part of it all, just makes my stomach turn. I feel happy in Insurgency because it feels very "realistic" and punchy with the sound design, but it still is clearly just trying to be a good game, not a "slice of reality" or something (ex. my dead teammates guiding me from beyond the grave, and often being very funny and nice etc.). This sort of bravo macho bullshiet is just meh, fits better in awful COD-games than in mp-focused games like insurgency.

Insurgency one clearly has some self-distance (like the insurgents saying "keep safe and save martyrdom for later!" when you start a round, in english), but Sandstorm in this trailer is just all bleh! But pretty of course.

Quoting: devnulllotsa stuff
What is the political angle? Just bad security for people or? I am interested. Who is behind flatpak and snap, and what are the differences etc?

A trailer containing an elevator ride? Thrilling! :P Looks kinda cool anyway, I like the GZDoom engine look.

Instabuy on this one, for the Perpeptual edition with all DLC forever (if you buy it during this launch week, you get that), sounds nice. I am sure they will clean up some of the small annoyances mentioned above - it sounds really awesome and interesting.

Edit: at Humble Bundle you get the Perpeptual, dunno about the other stores.

Edit2: Hey, there's a cake by my name! o___o
