I continued my achievement hunter activities in CS:GO. Being a wimp at first/third person shooters, I continue to "play with bots" on Deathmatch with the setting "medium bots". I am getting closer to half way on the 1000 kills with an M4A4. Sometimes I feel like I should get into the competitive realm of CS:GO, but I am so UP (under-powered) that I would be that guy everyone says, "Who invited him?"

When I am listening to podcasts, I want something that takes very little thought, does not require the use of headphones (of course) and the consequences of making a faux pas is relatively inconsequential. For that I have been playing Regency Solitaire.

Finally, I have been playing some SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech. Liam did a fantastic review of this game HERE. It summarizes nicely why I think I will continue to play this game for awhile.

I have an affinity for these "solo developer" games.
Robo Instructus() has been on my wishlist since March. After reading Liam's review and the developer's blog post, it was a no-brainer - buy now. It is somewhat similar to another game that I enjoyed, Hacknet, which is also developed by a solo developer.
I sure hope this game is successful. After reading the blog posting, you can not help but want the game to be a success.

I like the idea of letting users get a look at Steam's "works-in-progress". Anything a company can do to give users insight and input into their services is a good thing. Although each of the three labs seems to be a rehashing of "Your Discovery Queue", I rather like the "Automatic Show Experiment" format. I can see myself going back to this every few weeks to get a quick perspective on what is out there in the Steam Universe. I cannot say I ever find myself wanting to review my "Your Discovery Queue".

As a supporter, I got my Early Access key this morning via email. I watched one of the developers play Godhood this afternoon on a Steam stream. The game play looked great! There were about 3,800 viewers at the time I was watching. I will likely download the game this evening and give it a quick spin. Probably not go much farther than this though... It is clear that Abbey Games has lots and lots of plans for additional content.

I remember the posting from fubenalvo on GOL several months ago. I thought it was nice of him, as a developer, to get on GOL and post information/comments about his game Flux Caves. In his posting he mentioned that he wanted to make puzzles "...which are hard enough but not too frustrating." I bought the game on Steam, so I will be assessing his success myself.

Really looking forward to Service Integration in the Linux version of OBS. I was disappointed that Release Candidate 23.2 still lacks this feature. I am currently recording the my favorite Twitch channel using Firefox in a maximized window. It works, but the integration of Twitch into OBS will work much better and require less editing.

Got a discount coupon in my Steam inventory because I had purchased SiNKR. I bought SiNKR2 immediately. I enjoy games with "no scores, no timers". You just complete the level and you are on to the next. SiNK2 has Steam achievements, cards and is currently on sale (20% off). SiNKR works perfectly in Linux. The game reminds me of another Unity game that I enjoyed Hook [External Link]. Highly recommended for people that enjoy these types of games.

Quoting: fubenalvoso big-big thank you for the article and for the grateful readers too! Thank you guys! :)

Hi fubenalvo,

We certainly appreciate you giving us Linux support and we particularly appreciate a developer getting on the forums. I just bought the game on itch.io and am looking forward to playing it when I get home from work.

When I hear a game referred to as a "marble-run" I can't help remembering the fun I had playing Marble Madness on my Commodore 64 using a joystick. It was a great game and was a commercial success for Atari. I hope your game is also a success fubenalvo!

This game has been on my Steam Wishlist since May of last year. I got a notice from Steam today that the game was on sale (40% Off) and now you mention the update. The only thing that prevented me from clicking "Add To Cart" in the past was the difficulty factor... But 40% off and the "progression system" convinced me to buy the game.
