I have been playing games mostly from the bronze category. No Mans Sky, Balatro and tiny bit of Satisfactory. Silver and gold categories have some interesting games, but there has been so far always something more interesting to play.

I don't even remember when I switched to 100% Linux. Probably already by 2011 and then it was from FreeBSD. This year there's also 7% VR.

Redemption deadlines are more common this time around. Bombrush Rush Cyberfunk, Crime Boss and Moonstone Island have them. Still plenty of time as the deadline is January 6th 2026.

Quoting: FeistOnly game I have bought this far is "Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord" a remake of the classic rpg from 1981.

However, I have my eyes on "Robocop", "Stray", "Drova" and the remake of "Resident Evil 4" as well. Though I feel a bit unsure about the 3 first games and I would like to wait for Denuvo to be removed before buying RE4.:unsure:

Robocop is good, though checkpoint system is awful. It could save bit more often, and make it even more clear when that happens. Now I guess best way is to check autosaves timestamp as save doesn't always happen when you think it does. Still, it seems to get tone of the movie about right, which doesn't happen that often.

Stray is sort of platform puzzle exploration experience with some bit frustrating action sequences. Though still, you can take nap and scratch things among other cat like behaviors. There's also some lore you find out if look around. So If you like sci-fi and cats, it's worth trying out.

Quoting: tmtvlAnother FPS I would recommend people check out would be Hedon Bloodrite, which is currently 25% off on GOG. It's built on a fork of gzdoom (fork's called hzdoom), and it's a real blast. ...although I must admit that I'm not much of an FPS player, so my recommendation should be taken with a grain of salt. Try the demo first, I guess, that's what I did.

I didn't really get into Hedon Bloodrite. It was bit confusing. Though I last played it December 2022 and there have been few updates that look like have been improving things on that side.

Quoting: KlaasThere hasn't been anything that has tempted me into buying, but I'm still busy with Steamworld Quest which I bought on GOG a few weeks ago.

Do I need Brotato if I'm still not done with Vampire Survivors and Halls of Torment?

Funnily enough I'm in same situation. Haven't yet played Castlevania DLC for Vampires Survivors and Hall of Torment has plenty of new free content that I haven't played. I can raise you with Deeprock Galactic: Survivor (that also has free content update that I haven't played).

As for other games, there's so much good stuff for cheap. Personally I think I'll wait for winter sale, I don't really need more games. Just bought UFO 50 and that already has 50 games to play...

Quoting: salamanderrakeUntil Sega decides to remove them from your Steam Library.

I looked if that happens with Steam and it seems to be rare. Most probably what happens is that people who have the collection can keep it and if the emulator no longer works, the ROM:s probably work with some other emulator. If you're worried, just copy the ROM:s somewhere safe.

If you don't have the collection and don't get it on time, you need to wait and see what happens. There's slight chance that games appear in some form again.

Looks like the official program ended yesterday. I checked quickly the todays stream and it was a rerun.

Youtube has streams from both [External Link] days [External Link], if you want to watch something you missed. There's no chapters, though if you're lucky somebody might have the correct timestamp in a comment.

I watched most of the content and it's bit all over the place. Some of were mini documents how the songs (and sometimes sound effects) have been made. Some were small concerts all the way to a live metal concert.

Too many bit and pieces to mention, but as familiar artists were mentioned, I was bit surprised that Alexander Vinter has been making sound track for indie game. I stumbled upon his music quite many years ago and he's a moderately successful EDM artist. I usually don't keep up with EDM, usually chiptune is more interesting.

Quoting: eldakingWell it is not

Quoting: Pyrate

Quoting: AnzaUnless you have habit of activating everything right away, then it doesn't matter.

Is there a habbit of not doing it right away? Feels unsafe for me to not just redeem it right away and be done with it.

Well people that give away leftover keys often wait and do a whole lot at once, and for subscription people might just be getting them automatically and not necessarily they will take action on a particular month.

I do it because I try get my list of unplayed games short. Have gotten it to under one hundred. Activating few at a time makes it more likely that I get further than the start menu in more games.

Also want to make sure that games count as Linux purchases, though I don't know if it still works like it used to.

Darktide and Hexarchy have redemption deadline December 2025. Easy to miss unless you check the games more closely. Unless you have habit of activating everything right away, then it doesn't matter.
