Quoting: musojon74But it does affect sales. Then we vocally shout about this. Then we shout at people for bad poets.
I know this is a typo, but we should totally shout about bad poets more. :D

Quoting: haikuMaybe this one [External Link], he's more agressive :P
Aggressive? Huh. :huh: The white bit in its beak makes it look like it's cringing to me. Though I'd probably guess this one was a penguin. :)

Prepare your tee as Golf With Your Friends has released

Quite a fun game, especially with all the custom options. A friend and I like to play almost normally except with the ability to jump turned on; it turns all the courses into new and exciting experiences where we try to one-up each other by pulling off complicated jumps to save some strokes (and usually fail and take more strokes, but it's all fun!).

That sounds like an excellent description. :)

Quoting: haikuFinally a tux badge that look modern :wink:
Wow. That looks gorgeous.
Funny, to me it looks bland and kind of depressed. Guess my heart's really never been in "modern".
Gotta admit, if I didn't know it was supposed to be a penguin I would've guessed some type of songbird, or maybe a duck. :S:

Europa Universalis IV: Emperor announced for June 9

Quoting: chrHow did you manage to get out as Lucca? Got strong allies and beelined for colonies? Then took over Kilwa and the rest of African south-west? Or only the southern tip?
It was a few years ago now so I had to go back and check for any screen shots, but yeah, I think I basically held on in Italy as long as possible with allies while gunning for colonization as quickly as I could. I colonized in western Africa as soon as possible to give me a backup, then it looks like I conquered/colonized my way down the coast into Kongo, slightly. I also colonized south Africa (and I think I moved my capital there when I sold off my Italian possessions to stop getting dragged into wars), and conquered Madagascar (I think this was very soon after Madagascar had been filled out with playable countries). That's the last screenshot I could find other then the one showing my one-province snake into Lucknow from the coast, but I probably expanded in central and eastern Africa as well after that before slowly conquering India.

Decided to pick it up for for my birthday yesterday as it's under $5, and it's definitely very professional-feeling, from the visuals to the sounds. It's incredibly responsive, and it feels very aesthetically pleasing to move the little emitters and various reflectors and refractors around.

Interesting! That's a pretty neat idea. I'll have to check it out.

Into the Breach gets a few tweaks for the new Linux version

The sound briefly wasn't working for me when I first switched from running on Proton to the Linux version, but it started working at some point after that (though before this update). Anyway good on them for continuing to bug-fix and provide support. :)

Play Next is live on Steam to remind you of all your unplayed games

Quoting: PhiladelphusWait, this is a thing? I've never seen anything like that in my news feed. :S: (And I do have Steam friends, honest! :D) Following the advice above about clicking the cog I don't even have the "Only show product updates" thing checked—that's just all I've ever seen there. Strange.
It's in the (old) "activity" section, not the (new) game news shelf.
Oh, the bit on the individual game pages? Ah, right. Gotcha. :) Yes, I do see that.
