Jesus that bundle.
Bought mostly to give to charity. The games are just a bonus. Maybe the best humble bundle ever, though.

So I was reading an old thread since I'm doing an interview, and some stuff is pretty amusing from our current perspective.
Then: "I think you may be overestimating both the sales potential of a delayed PC port, the actual sales of Dark Souls and the budget they had to make the port."
Now: DS is easily the most profitable Japanese franchise on PC.
I also outlined what DSFix would likely need to do, a few weeks before release:

That's really the reason for the "magical" 23 minutes people like to quote, preparation

Just now noticed this note with the bundle:

Wow. That's great.
That's not a hard rule, just generally true, and a $30 limited time bundle doesn't really count as "bundled before" honestly.
Strange to write about the tier if there is only one.

You can also give them money to donate. No games, but it's an easy way to click a button for good causes.

Kind of stretching it but Her Story, but it's not cheesy.
after month of waiting,finally managed to replace that LG monitor i used to have with another monitor
they didn't have the same model,so i saw this BenQ monitor which has VA Panel (i heard VA Panels doesn't has bleeding at all)
and i was right,almost
the hint of white in the right won't bother me,everything is black,the black level is more then the IPS one.
also,fuck touch control panel,who thought it was good idea?
navigating through the options to change the colors and brightness made my arm hurts because i spent 10 minutes trying to change the language from Chinese to English.

Eh I'd recommend holding off on the Switch til end of the year when Super Mario O releases.
You are likely able to get a good deal come Black Friday for one thing.

Still annoys me that you're probably responsible for a nice sum of DS PC sales and they won't even acknowledge you. Personally, your fix was the tipping point that got me into DS...which led to DS2...etc etc.
I should but I won't. Eventhough I have a Wii U, I want to play Zelda on the go, it'll probably be an indie machine for me and most important of all: I'll be able to play PuyoPuyoTetris on my commute to university at the end of April. And there is a chance that due to a pricing mistake on amazon.de I could get it for under 200€ but I'm not counting on that.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It isn't inconsistent or even relevant. You can be strongly against violence and still support the message and work of the ACLU (which, in its own work has literally defended Neo-Nazi's right to freedom of speech).
You can also be apathetic to a Nazi getting duffed for being a shithead and still support the work of the ACLU.
Fighting fire with fire is literally a thing.
There's two greater problems I have with the whole Nazi punching thing. First is people buying into the narrative that this is some broader trend that even needs addressing in the first place. What most people are railing against is people on the internet either acting apathetic or like a standard internet tough-guy. There is no broader movement to commit acts of violence against Nazis.
So, second point: Internet tough guys are everywhere in all discussions and their bluster rarely ever spills over into the real world, so let's talk about the people who are apathetic towards a Nazi getting punched. Why should they be moved to care that a person who deserves to get punched is punched? Why should they care when terrible, irrevocably awful things are done to good people every minute of the day?
We aren't talking about Nazis being killed, or raped, or tortured, we're talking about a punch. And, in the case of the guy who sparked Blow's whole Facebook post, a punch that didn't even leave a bruise.
And the worst of it is I want to be there with you. I want to live in a world where I can really, really care about a Nazi getting punched. But in a world where fists are thrown about and hit so many undeserving people, I'm not going to get especially worked up because it may have, randomly, and by the absolute slimmest of chances, found a somewhat worthy target.
Was tempted by Zelda too, but after seeing Xenoblade Chronicles X in 5K on cemu, I think I'll hold off and hope it'll be run at playable levels on cemu when it releases.

Even if the Switch was launching with a dozen incredible games, it's hard to argue with a year's worth of indie games for $30, all of which goes to charity. I wouldn't think twice about dumping the Switch preorder, personally.
The issue is that if you are okay with violence against people you abhor, you are giving them ammunition to label you as radicals. With non-violent protests you can highlight immorality and still maintain the moral high ground in the eyes of anyone willing to look. (Sure, you cannot convince die-hard supporters, but most people who voted for Trump aren't die hard supporters. Most people are always in the middle on most issues.
So it's not about defending the alt-right idiots. It's pointing out that being okay with violence against them, or worse, actively calling for it, is hurting the fight against Trump.
So sure, if you want 8 years of the Orange Menace, then please keep punching your nazis.
On that note: Do I need a BluRay-Drive to dump my Wii U games on my PC?
You need a Wii U to do that.

This is a good point and what might make the far-right party gets higher score than we could ever expect in the next French presidential election. If the riots that started a few days ago go on and spread to every suburb as in 2005, this is going to be the worst timing for French riots ever... I hope Humble will run a Humble Liberté Bundle once France gets her own "Trump".
Anyway, props to Blow for raising his voice and then making the Humble Freedom Bundle greater with the addition of The Witness.

I kind of want to go back to Siege but I had played enough when it came out that I worry I'll be matched far beyond my skill level now lol.
And I suddenly want to buy For Honor, although it's a bummer you can't chop off legs or arms, only decapitations(opposite of Ryse) I mean if you're going to go for exaggerated violence go all out.

that bundle would be super tempting if I knew those games (especially the big ones like Witness, Invisible Inc. or Subnautica) wouldnt be on a humble monthly, because I had them pegged for a monthly down the line.
as it stands, 30€ is a bit much on a budget and knowing I wont stop subbing to monthly. Still tempting tho.

It seems like I'm too dumb for twitter.
I wrote a tweet, but if I go here:
https://twitter.com/Durante_PT
it doesn't show up. After looking at the pattern of what goes where, it seems to me like it's being treated as a reply (even though it's not one) because of the "@" in the beginning, so I should have reordered it to not have that. Is that the gist of it?
(Yes, I'm asking for Twitter tech support in the Steam community thread, but since the tweet in question is somewhat related to a game on Steam it's far from the most OT stuff that ever happened here)

)While the PC platform is less skewed towards launch day sales than consoles, the hype of playing a new game at initial release is still a significant contributing factor to sales.
It has been great seeing Japanese developers realizing that the easiest way to reach a western audience for their often niche games is through the PC.

Since it shows up in the "Tweets and replies" section, I would guess so.

Tweets with an '@' at the beginning are always muted under your main timeline and only show up in your profile under "tweets and answer" and do not appear on other people's timeline other than the ones you '@'.
If you want to '@' someone and have it visible on your main and your followers timeline, simply put a '.' or something else before it.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
That doesn't address my point at all, though. I'm not calling for violence or committing it myself. I just don't care if a Nazi is punched.
Find the guy who did the punching, prosecute him for assault if charges are pressed. I don't care about the whole thing. It is a level of injustice so minor it doesn't even register on my scale.
And yet, with every perceived imperfection of the left no matter how small or insignificant, Trump is hung over people's heads like some sort of guillotine attached to an ever-fraying rope. Oh no, if one more Nazi gets punched we'll be doomed to Trump forever! It's absurd.
Imagine an opposite world where Hillary got in and conservatives were worried that they'll have lost voters forever because a member of PETA got punched. I assure you that has never a discussion anywhere across the multiverse.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I've had the same experience - I started it Friday night and ended up playing it about 25 hours over the weekend (Resident Evil 7 will have to wait, it seems). The game is so much better than the first one.
Thanks, that's what I assumed. The "." workaround seems silly, I'd probably try to write it differently in order to not put the "@" at the start. Good to know for the future.

I'm past those games. Need the new hawtnessWhy not play Chivalry: Medieval Warfare or Mount & Blade: Warband instead?
Ya, seen that. Seems like folks are holding on to their codes.
Well, maybe I should explain my understanding of the situation, as I have followed it. (In simplified form)
A few Republican-leaning students in Berkley University ask this asshat to give a talk. This leads to protests, and eventually the thing is called of. During the events a few individuals did become violent against support of this Milo guy.
If that was all that happened, there would be no discussion. But this spawned this much larger thing with the "punch a nazi" meme. It was in support of this act of violence, no matter how significant it was. It was only then that people like Blow, who studied at Berkley, chimed in and saying that they are not comfortable with this.
I believe standing up for definitively peaceful protests is important. Why is it hard to agree to this?
