I finally just canceled that subscription (even though I know I can’t get that grandfathered price again) because there were just so many games I wasn’t trying. Got tired of looking into the games and trying to pause it before I bought a month I didn’t want.

spronk · Oct 2, 2020

yeah i cancelled mine too its just not worth it at all unless you have a steam library of 0 games. even then nowadays between free epic games, amazon prime, GOG freebies, etc you literally should think for 10 minutes before buying any game

You guys are smarter than me. I prepaid for a year. Ahh well. At least I'll have a long list of games to give away again soon.

Same here. Is there an easy way to link games you want to gift or is the easiest way just to screenshot them all? I have like six months worth to give out just haven’t got around to posting them.

Did this a few months ago and I just copied and pasted the game names then when someone requested one I'd create a gift link from the humble site. It was tedious as hell. Lol

But now that you mention it may have been easier to just post pictures of every months games.

Another game festival is live. These are pretty nice w/ all the demos that are made available. I end up trying a dozen or so of these.

This is one of my favorites:

This month HB had Fae Tactics in it, which alone on Steam is $20. If you like FF Tactics type games it is great.

This? Should have called it Gae Tactics.

Yep that is it, if you like FF tactics style games this is a good one. Some brutally hard fights. I have 60 hours in now and I think I'm about halfway through.

Definitely a throwback game, it has bright, colorful cartoony characters, not much grimdark.

Layers of Fear 2 free on Epic until 29 Oct. A typical scary walking sim, but looks and runs nice with an interesting story.

For some reason unbeknownst to me Blair Witch is in my Steam Wish List and just got a notification it was on sale for $7.50.

Anyone know anything about it or have an opinion?

Anyone familiar with any of these City Building Games they have on sale? (Steam) Used to love all the Sim type games back in the day, tempted to grab Sim4 just because it's familiar and 5$.

The mars & colony one look interesting, but I still have some lingering disappointment from Frostpunk, maybe it's because I'm Canadian, but that game was far too easy and had zero replay value for me. Little hesitant on the titles/companies I'm not familiar with.

I like to play these for the complexity/micromanaging, so that kinda thing is a big pro for me.

If you're looking for a Sim City clone, I've always been told that Cities: Skylines is the way to go. I picked it up in a sale years ago and need to get around to trying it sometime.

Rime · Nov 3, 2020

City: Skylines has an ABSURD amount of DLC. So be prepared for that.

The Tropico games are usually relatively good, if you want a more laid back sort of city builder/sim.

meStevo · Nov 4, 2020

Tropico 6 is also part of the Humble Choice for another day or so for less than this sale.

meStevo · Nov 4, 2020

Devs now able to manage free beta access on Steam a bit better.

New Steam feature makes it easier for developers to let players test games

The new feature is called Steam Playtest.

I was actually just looking at this earlier with the sale prices, and there was an everything bundle for $100, but a lot of that is music/building skins. If you piece together all of the functional DLC its only ~$60 right now for all of it, each piece being like $5-10.

Cities: Skylines can easily devour your soul. It is dangerously addictive trying to make your urban area into something nice.

meStevo · Nov 5, 2020

I get paralysis by analysis in that game and end up quitting early, lol.

I find as I get older that so many of these games have all the options I would have wanted when I was younger, but now I don't have the attention span or patience to really enjoy them.
