Valve to begin moderating game forums on Steam next week

Nah, he's still going: https://steamcommunity.com/app/524220/discussions/0/135510393205588067/?ctp=43#c1734336452575794781 [External Link] and still trying to get his bitter jibes in about Linux. I never really thought he was a paid shill, despite all the evidence. I think he's just either a young guy who enjoys trolling, or an older guy with an anti-Microsoft agenda. Probably the latter, since he always plays the "but I'm so reasonable" card whenever he's called out for trolling.

Whatever his motivation, he has waaaaaay too much time on his hands.

Humble Monthly adds in Dungeons 3 and Hidden Folks, pretty good deal now

Do they frown on signing up for a month's games, then immediately cancelling out again? Is there any penalty for doing so?

Feral Interactive are teasing ANOTHER new Linux port

Quoting: finaldestI am going with Grand Theft Auto

I managed to link this to the following album and the track "I ran" has been referenced to GTA Vice city.

Aurora Borealis - The Greatest Hits
A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
A game made by Rockstar North? That's ticking a few boxes! :)

Seagulls and Aurora. Isn't there an Aurora in Subnautica? And seagulls would make sense...?

It has issues under Steamplay too. Fingers crossed for this.

Quoting: Guest
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI think only game owners should be allowed to post on each game forum...
General discussion forums, that is another thing...
That feature does exist but the devs have to turn it on.
Tripwire turned it on for Killing Floor 2. It's pretty infuriating. You can't ask for status reports (e.g. on Linux builds) and you can't ask specific questions about a game before you buy. I mean, fair enough, their forum their rules, but I tend swerve away from any dev/game who actually does it.

The excellent rogue-lite 'Streets of Rogue' now actually has an ending

Quoting: fabertaweHah! Just received an alert from Steam telling me it's 40% off and I thought it really is time I picked this up. Good timing ^_^
Yep, I'll be buying this today. Looks awesome. Could be another LiveStream, Liam? The last one you can was excellent, except that you 'finished' it, which was a damp squib given that it didn't have an ending!
I think we can schedule it in ;)

Maybe you would like to join us.
I'd better get playing then (just bought it)! :D

Quoting: DrMcCoyNo, Portal 2 is not censored in Germany. At all.

The first Portal game was lightly censored for a while, with blood generated when turrets hit you painted gray instead of red, but even that has been removed years ago.

Stop telling lies.
I think he meant Postal 2... :)

Looks decent, albeit a bit busy. Found it hard to see what was going on in that trailer.

Roguelike RPG 'Depth of Extinction' is nearing release with a launch trailer

Showing my age here, but something about this reminds me of the early Speccy game "Rebelstar Raiders". It just looks really engaging. I'm wishlisting this for next month when I have a bit more time on my hands.
