Does anyone know why Tiny Barbarian just jumped from $9.99 to $29.99?

Where do you rank Opiate?
I'm not sure how I would rank their albums overall. I like Lateralus, but it almost completely lacked the sense of humour that permeated their earlier work. The biggest knock against 10,000 days for me was just the overall lack of songs and the songs that are there are drawn out to nearly breaking.
Honestly, Aenima might be my favourite album of theirs. It has the humour, intelligence, songwriting, riffs and variety that I expect in a Tool album.
Maybe because Steam blocks discounts for 30 days after price increase
and they want to have "super" discount during summer sale?

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Because they grew up. Bill Hicks was right on that Alex Jones ride to a tin foil hat project of nutters. Tool were on the cynical rejection of 80s excess and overproduction train, along with grunge and even RATM (with their debut album being the most overproduced).
Maynard's humor continues in the juvenile and absurdist comedy of Puscifer, rather than the same old Timothy Leary rehash of his earlier humor.
Rosetta Stoned is basically a rejection of both fans being sycophantic and his absurd comedy.
Maybe you accidentally traveled back in time. I've heard rumors that happens occasionally if your connection speed is so low, that it actually gets negative.

I have no idea what this sentence means.
Puscifer's humour is mostly just...lame? I guess it just seems to lack much of the intelligence (EDIT--"clever" is probably more the right word than "intelligent") that the Tool stuff often had, even when it was being incredibly broad. It doesn't help that the songwriting in Puscifer is really hit or miss.
I really don't read that into that song at all. It seems a mostly on-its-face send up of how people who've had alien abductions/close encounters always seem to be redneck mouthbreathers and/or conspiracy theorists. But maybe i'm missing some big metaphor or something.

Finally got all the main endings in Nier Automata.
Fantastic game. If I had to choose I'd still go with the first Nier as the overall better package though. Story and characters were more memorable and the world was populated with lots of interesting NPCs making it a lot more interesting to explore.
Music is in a league of its own in both games and the VA is fantastic across the board.
Both games are standouts in their respective generations for me.
Now lets continue with Tits 3rd and Persona 5. What a year for gaming.

Didnt have that issue personally. Idled without any problems.
You could play Turing Test though. Its kinda fun, but also really easy.
It happens everytime I start Turing Test, with other games Idlemaster is fine :S
I tried to delete appdata folder but it didn't work.

The Division is one of the most boring games Ive played in years. First I installed the free weekend, then in the menus I started remembering how much fun I had during the last free weekend it had and quickly uninstalled.
It's not just boring, I feel everything about it is mediocre. So glad I never bought into the launch hype.

I think its "Destiny" imbedded into an Ubisoft collectathon. The worthwhile stuff are the main missions, because they actually feel designed. The sidestuff kinda feels mostly like "copy-paste" Ubisoft stuff.
I heard that Dark Zone was good, but every time I tried to check it out I was immediately killed by other players...
Well I found Destiny to also be very boring, not as boring as The Division, but still very boring, even after aquiring the collection edition. At least Destiny wasn't mediocre in exception of story and story missions. The weapons are cool, the sounds are good, design is good and overall it's a good game from what I can see, but I still found it to be pretty boring.
Which is why I really don't care about Destiny 2. I guess games like The Division and Destiny simply aren't for me the same way MOBAs and MMOs aren't for me.

I looooved Division, they got me hooked during the last free weekend for it. I was playing it a lot during December and January so I was really into the immersion of running around cold snowy city streets. I basically went into it for third person shooter Diablo and got just that, but more than that the game was just absolutely gorgeous. I just had to stop and soak in the sights every now and then.
The game was just so dense with art and details, I just loved walking around from place to place. Unfortunately I didn't play too much Dark Zone stuff, but what little I did was one of the most unique experiences I've had in a loot game.

The Division is a horrendously boring game :/

I played one of the free weekends for the Division and found it unbelievably boring and repetitive, but man, was it gorgeous. Very realistic looking, incredibly atmospheric. What wouldn't I give for it to be more of a S.T.A.L.K.E.R type of game. I'm still interested to get it eventually just so I can walk around in it a bit more before uninstalling it disgusted at the potential thrown away.
If you go to Store -> Steam News, search for "New Software Survey" and open the second post, there'll be a link to the page towards the end.

You can say this about any dev that has a large backlog as Capcom.
You don't just rush the market with re-releases all in one go, they need to have breaks between them so that a single project that gets released can sell well enough to cover for its costs. Consider also that there might be licensing involved for a few titles.
Like Onimusha has at least 2 characters based on real life actors; how do you handle that while aiming to having each game be sold between $20-$30 each?
Now if I were to ask you to name a list of compilations AND titles you'd like to see on Steam from Capcom, you'd only give me, at best, a dozen, but Capcom, for one, has MANY more games that are worth preserving legally via Steam. You can't be selective of what can and can't be ported by them.
One more thing to keep in mind is that they may not have that many staff to work on their main projects (new titles) as well as work on porting or re-releasing games from their backlog catalog, and if Capcom were to fill in the period between their games with their older titles, what incentive would the average consumer have to get their newest $60 priced game when they could just get any of their cheaper $20-30 titles instead? You'll even see GAFfers complain that they're releasing more of their older catalog than make new games for one thing :V
All in all though...I honestly don't concern myself with it much; once it releases, I'll get it, until then I'll work on my backlog, cuz Crom knows I ought to play the Resident Evil series already.
Well at least I'm not blind. It's not much faster than what you listed but I've been going to Steam News, limiting it to the Steam Blog, selecting the new post about support stats and getting in that way. Still a pain in the ass.

When's the next big Steam sale? Summer?
Was there even a Spring sale last month?
All I remember is the Anime sale. There was at least a Spring sale on PSN.

Ah, I failed to notice that post in my search results. I see now it's sandwiched between some external links.
Yes. It should kick off lateish June/earlyish July.
There is no Spring Sale. There was an Indie Spring Sale in 2013, though.

probably a slightly big sale around e3 but then summer sale is a few weeks after.

I'm quite sure I won't be buying anything in the next several weeks.

I'm still not sure whether or not I regret buying this game with card money considering how often it's been free or given away.Que le que?
Seems the banners are borked as the game is no longer sold on Humble

Quick question: Do Card prices for Steam games, let's say games where the average price of a Steam card is 3-5 cents, increase prior to a Steam sale?
Technically you got it for free :V

The sausage tower in SSR feels like a huge difficulty spike. It's overwhelming to have to deal with so many sausages and a couple of new mechanics all at once.
