Good luck with the new job.

Time for some amusing comments:

Maybe off to join CD Projekt Red - Finally The Witcher 3!!! Also... Cyberpunk 2077 .... spooge!

More likely, poached by Square Enix ... and if that the case, I guess yet more of their titles coming to Linux. (Shadow of the Tomb Raider :) ).

Finally, as someone has already suggested, maybe working in the heart of Valve, bringing new Valve titles to the masses!

Got the BTA bundle, as I already own Rocket League. Quite nice to hand out extra copies of Tumblestone keys to other Steam friends (Done two so far). Also played Tumblestone for an hour, quite decent.

I really appreciate Broforce too. Toying with the idea of buying a second copy to show the love to the developers. My first one is on GOG.

AAA game with a promising Linux release schedule. Great!

Darkest Dungeon is a fantastic game, well put together, fun to play... but it is just too hard and brutal for me. When I play, it just is too painful to go forward. I'd say you have to be masochistic to really get on with it. This game kicks you when you're down, and you start off your next mission worse than you were in the last one. If this wasn't the case, I'd probably have played lots and lots of it.

However, there are two similar games (semi turn-based, rogue-like, perma-death, RNG) which I adore:

FTL: Faster Than Light
Slay The Spire

Both of these fill the void that I was hoping Darkest Dungeon would have filled for me. Oh well :(

Just letting you know.. Strafe: Millennium Edition is on chrono.gg right now (23 hours left) at 53% discount. Thinking it highly likely that I'll grab Strafe before the end of the day.

It's a shame that Apocryph is looking somewhat disappointing at the moment.

Quoting: Al3sBought Vaporum: classic dungeon crawler and steampunk. There is no way I don't enjoy it.

Very tempted with that one, myself. But then, I've got plenty to keep me occupied at the moment. Just started 'Rise of the Tomb Raider'. Loving 'Slay the Spire', and I keep on dipping into 'Rust', 'FTL', and numerous others.

I wouldn't mind grabbing 'Tower of Time' when that goes on sale. Also, the soon-to-be-released 'Arakion' game is appealing to me.

Oh, and today we have the Humble Monthly Subscription Hidden Games get revealed in just over 2 hours' time. So, holding off from purchasing until after that.

Plus, there's not much that I'm really keen on, on sale at the moment.

Quoting: lucifertdark

Quoting: g000hI've suspected inaccuracies in the Steam counts, for a long time. One other Windows versus other OS thing that I've noticed is the fact that Steam auto-starts on Windows when you log on to Windows. With my Linux desktops, Steam only logs on, when I launch the client myself.

Steam works the exact same way in Windows as Linux, you decide whether you want it to start with the OS or not, mine starts when I say it starts not when Windows starts, never let anything auto-start with the OS, especially Windows as that's a surefire way to get your system infected.

ps. we've been telling Valve for years their survey was screwed, it's not tinfoil hats cutting off oxygen to our brains.

Here is my experience on the matter:

First of all Steam on Linux and Steam on Windows are completely different things. They are built specifically for each platform. When you do a default Steam install on Windows (7,8,10) it adds the Steam client to the auto-start applications, which you can modify using the MSConfig tool. I have personally installed Steam client on more than 10 Windows machines (7,8,10) and this is the behaviour I have observed.

Then, I have also installed Steam on multiple versions of Linux - Debian 7,8,9,10 + Ubuntu 16,17 + Mint - mostly using Gnome3 desktop, but also XFCE desktop and others. Approx 10 separate Steam client installs, and in each case the Steam client does not auto-start based on Default settings. I am not sure the case with KDE desktop and every other version of Linux out there.
