Thank you for alerting me to this Hand Held Hits Bundle. Lots of good titles in the list. I ended up purchasing DREDGE (46% discount). I can highly recommend this game for the Steam Deck.

On another topic, I went to purchase the Mad Multiplayer Missions Bundle mentioned in GoL today. I tried using the Humble affiliate/partner link available on the Support Us page to no avail. I did a little research and found this [External Link] discussion on Reddit. I had a hard time sorting it all out, but one thing is very clear, it is a hot mess.

I need help understanding this. I think I am missing something.

According to the Steam page for Orphan Age [External Link], the developer and the publisher of Orphan Age is Studio Black Flag. I assume that Studio Black Flag entered into a contractual agreement with a publishing company. Is this correct?

If this is correct, then what is the name of the publishing company that bought the rights to the game or studio?

I am asking for this information so I can add the publisher to my "naughty" publisher list.

I Agree! Excellent selection of games this month. Three of the titles were on my wishlist.

As a new Steam Deck user, I have been perusing "Top Steam Deck Games" lists. Games in the Persona series are always on these lists. Dome Keeper is favorably reviewed on r/SteamDeck as working on the well on the Steam Deck. I am also extremely curious to see what is going on with MCPIXEL 3. Any game that has a "titular wanna-be hero" as the protagonist is for me!

Thank you Liam for the "heads up" on this Steam Deck sale!
I have never seriously considered purchasing a Steam Deck. The Steam Deck articles in GoL were interesting, but I only gave them a cursory glance. Then why, within five minutes after reading this article, did I clicked the "PURCHASE" button for a Steam Deck LCD 512GB? These 11 words are the reason:

...the higher model is a ridiculously good price with the sale.

These words made me realize I absolutely had to a Steam Deck NOW!
I am very happy with my decision and cannot wait for my new Steam Deck to arrive!

Thanks again Liam!

Happy Birthday to GoL.
GoL is my GoTo source for Linux gaming. Thanks to you, Liam, I am a well-informed Steam user.
Time to celebrate!

Apogee!
I know they are only the publisher of this game, but I remember when they were developers. I have fond memories of playing hours of Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II on MS-DOS. They also did the publishing of one of my favorite games, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure [External Link]. I played more of Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure than I did of the Duke Nukem series. If time allows, I will be downloading the Quest Master demo this evening to give it a spin.

Interesting to Note:

I just noticed that Hi-Fi Rush [External Link] is a game in the Humble Choice for May [External Link].

Quoting: GuestLittle Computer People

Thank you for reminding me of Little Computer People [External Link]. I played this game with my children on the Commodore 64.

One interesting thing mentioned in the Wikipedia article is:

Copy protection
In pirated copies of the game on the Atari ST (and possibly other platforms) the game would load, but the character would simply stand knocking on the screen and wagging a finger at the player disapprovingly.

I know this was not the case on the Commodore 64 version... Not that my copy of the game was pirated, of course.

Thanks for alerting us to this sale. I likely would have missed it. I have worked for decades for an organization that serves people with disabilities. I would have been very disappointed if I had missed the opportunity to support this charity. In addition, I picked up a copy of No Mans's Sky [External Link] for 50% off. Win-Win. This game has been on my wishlist for years.
