I realize that the typical setup for using Steam Link is that the desktop is hard wired to the router while the Link is connected wirelessly, but is anybody using it in the reverse way, where their desktop is connected to the network wirelessly and the Steam Link is connected to the router over ethernet? This is the setup that I would be using at home, and I'm trying to decide if the Link is worth it.

I'm genuinely surprised that the Humble Bundle OT isn't titled "I'll buy that for a dollar!". Or maybe it was.

I watched Giantbomb or something play Devil Daggers. A game for masochists to say the least.

Surprised Devil Daggers has only sold 60,000 copies or so (according to SteamSpy). I bought it day one and love it. Really fantastic fun

Definitely a good $1 tier, two of them on my wishlist.

Glad to see Stronghold Crusader 2 actually, has a bad reputation but I enjoyed playing the original earlier this month and wanted to give it a shot at some point. Reasonably cheap BTA is an easy enough way to do so.

Also, only played an hour of Duelyst. I guess I would be better off making a new account if I want to play it again....

So Phawx, still hyped for that GPD Win ? :p
Seeing your posts on Dingoonity, did a chinese contacted you to resell his/her GPD win ? :p

Yea man. Also I talked with Alice at GPD through Skype. She pretty much confirmed Indiegogo backers > resellers are getting the 8700. So I'm doing my best to try and get the 8750. Right now everyone in China is asleep.

So far these are the things I've tried.

1.) Dingoonity > baidu buyout offer

2.) Friend who has relatives in China to buy off of Idle Fish

3.) Asking if someone on SteamGaf lives in China that could buy off of Idle Fish and then I could pay them for their trouble.

So far nothing :(

That one? Sadly I am not in China anymore since 2 weeks.

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.
One single Midweek Madness.
The Sims 3.
This is what Steam has become.

I was hoping for a bit of a discount on Telltale Batman since episode 2 released. Gotta buy a copy of that on Steam because fuck Telltale accounts

No, that's the GPD XD. The GPD Win shipped to JD.com backers and they are reselling extra they bought on Idle Fish. As far as I know, Idle Fish is only available through an app. It's going for about $345 on the high-end. But I'd pay that and then some to someone if they could help.

It's quite unfortunate for me that you are no longer there :(

question: how do I choose a custom charity for bundles? I picked ocean defender's on the humble store but it won't show up for me on bundles

Ahah, I remember buying Stronghold Crusader 2 when there was a price mistake on Steam. I got it for 15€ a few days after release, or something like that. Now, it is in a humble bundle for $4.40. I still have not played the game even once since I bought it. It was 2 years ago.

Under Choose where your money goes > Charity > there is a little bit at the bottom which lets you search for charities you can give to.

Sometimes you win the game. Sometimes you lose.

Edit:

Also just in case anyone isn't aware, if you own games on Humble Bundle and it shows the button greyed out, you can still click on it to produce a Steam Key. You don't have to do that email nonsense.

My Steam GOTY so far:
  1. The Witness (no comment)
  2. No Man's Sky (yes, I love having Pokemon Snap in space)
  3. Inside (amazing experience)
  4. Stephen's Sausage Roll (because increpare)
  5. Ghost 1.0 (a damn good metroidvania)
  6. Seasons After Fall (relaxing non-violent game)
  7. The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (perfect book adaptation)
  8. Cthulhu Realms (I love some good card games)
I need to play more Obduction before ranking this one.

If you have an opportunity to try any of these games, please do.

Have you tried out Elite Dangerous? I really like it, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Delivering cargo throughout the galaxy gives me a Euro Truck Simulator vibe, where I can just relax, turn on a podcast, and fuel the fires of capitalism throughout the universe.

The space combat and flight is also really, really good.

Not yet but definitely interested in trying this kind of game. Either with Elite or Everspace. The feeling of being in control of a spacecraft free to move in a huge universe is exhilarating.
 

dave is ok

aztek is ok
I just started playing Elite Dangerous. I learned how to accept a quest and go where I needed to and find the station which seemed daunting on its own

Then I couldn't land properly. Fuck that game.

everspace and elite dont have much in common except that both are set in space

that feeling you are describing... thats Elite for sure :) (see the second linked video)

Hmm, the new bundle isn't for me this time. Instead, I bought Ys: Oath in Felghana and Kero Blaster from the humble sale, and I'll consider that my humble bundle money for the week. :)

The PGS thing still looks like vaporware and the Smach Z's formfactor leave a lot to be desired.

The Smach Zero doesn't look very pocket friendly but I love the controller form factor. Not a big fan of the 3DS (lack of) ergonomics.

Money well spent.
