I was mostly thinking of this thread , but not sure if I got the wrong end of the stick.
The cards don't seem that OP, but some of the General powers do seem a bit much... My main thought with regards to OP is that Player 2 starts off so much better than Player 1. It's an almost-guarantee that P2 can summon a Minion on a Mana Tile on the first turn. Add that to the 3 Mana that P2 has on their first turn, and there's no reason not to want to play second - a couple of 2 cost cards out on the first turn, and you've taken one of the 3 Mana Tiles out of commission. :/
I did! I did!
From Game.
Adding subtitles to the audio logs would also be nice. Although some seem to be made incomprehensible on purpose, with screeching and whatnot.

I have a few more copies I will throw one your way when I get home

Does Steam still keep a list of what retail game keys will activate on Steam? I can't seem to find it and I found an unopened copy of TimeShift.

Maybe Youtube knows that you really really want to watch Blair Witch, but you don't know it yet.
This, project phoenix, spaceventure and ghost song are the longstanding projects I've kind of given up on playing anytime soon, if ever.
La-mulana 2 maybe as well, but that one feels like they are getting things done.
Man I'm glad I dodged the Unsung Story bullet.
The thing there is that lots of players saved gold for the very recent expansion, pre-ordered booster packs, or just broke down old cards they didn't want for new cards that they did. The power level definitely went up with the recent expansion.
This is a bad way of looking at the system, and I've seen this kind of comment made recently by another new player. Here is what I wrote in reply:
Not any more, although the change was only earlier in the year, so there's this snapshot of the page as it existed early May.

I'm more interested in the length of the 2 season pass content.
After The Witcher 3, I expect big things from devs who dare to call their DLCs 'expansions'.
Ghost Song is in KS hell? Bummer.
Hollow Knight looks like it's on track though. It only pulled in like 45k USD, and has a team of three.
Each campaign being only being ~a few hours long is all but guaranteed, which would put them in line with virtually every AAA DLC campaign these days. I just call them "mini-expansions".
It's being published by Adult Swim but went from 2016 to "TBA" a couple of weeks ago.
I haven't tried it, but someone else has
https://www.reddit.com/r/GameDealsMeta/comments/4ymjyd/steamcrate_is_not_too_great/
In summary, the price for each crate is way more expensiver than Humble Monthly Bundles, and they feature only crappy bundled games that either has been given away for free or bundled by IndieGala for cheap.

Don't keep your hopes up, nothing is going to top The Witcher 3.

Can someone explain to me the Steins Gate series?
I started to look into it out of curiosity and see it's part of a wider series that is far larger than I expected.
Are these other games all connected to each other or is it more thematic (a la SMT/Persona), and are they coming to Steam as well?

Gods One Day World. A VN with puzzle-elements.
Only available in Chinese right now, but its in the current IG animu bundle and seems the english translation will be out soon:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/490390/
I actually like that more and more taiwanese and chinese VNs are coming to Steam. The market is actually huge, but usually the translation is always off.
Wouldn't know about KS hell. I don't doubt whether it's coming out, it's just taking a long time.

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.
Last night while gaming on my PC, the power in the house flickered, and the surge protector that my computer was plugged into caught fire, as did my PC's power supply which, unfortunately, is positioned at the bottom of the case.
After extinguishing the fire and unplugging everything I let it dry off overnight. Obviously it is toast. I hooked up the power supply from my son's PC this morning and still nothing - pretty sure the board is bad. I'm going to try putting my new R390X into my son's computer to see if it works, but I'm not holding my breath since it sat about 5 inches above the power supply and looked like it was getting licked by flames.
I've already contacted the surge protector company so hopefully I can get a lot of that replaced by their warranty? Either way, it sucks because I have all of next week off and don't have to go back to work until the 12th. Gonna be a long week with a PC.

I believe only the original and Zero are canon, with the rest being silly spin offs that are unlikely to ever be translated.
Holy fuck, this sounds terrible. Good luck with the warranty

Klei is making a space colony sim game called Oxygen Not Included.
Rimworld has opened the floodgates for imitators.
That sucks. I didn't realise surge protectors could spontaneously combust like that... At least y'all caught the fire right away and are more or less OK. And have a fire extinguisher! (ohgodwhydontIhaveone)
Hope the warranty stuff works out for you. I have a surge protector with a failure warranty myself, so I'm hoping that it covers damage as intended.

I'm joking.
Besides, the art style looks like Steamworld Dig anyways.

Be sure to not admit that anything in your PC was overclocked. Also, I hope the cause was a lightning strike as most surge protector warranties don't cover other "acts of God" or even "low-voltage disturbances" (brownouts and the like).

Thanks for the tips. Thankfully nothing was over clocked, so I dont even have to lie about it if asked. Not sure if it was a lightning strike or not though, we honestly don't get many of those here.
Should have been "Don't Suffocate". I guess they feared that the average Steam users has no dictionary plugin installed.

listen to the mad man
La-Mulana 2 seems to be progressing very slowly, but progressing nonetheless. The backers-only updates are frustrating for me tracking it, but at least they're updating. I would call this yellow, or average risk.
Spaceventure I think might get done. They've been out of money for years, and that's scary, and it's years over the deadline, and that's scary too, so it's definitely high risk. They update pretty frequently, they released a little spinoff game to make a bit of money, and it looks kinda like it's eventually coming together. Can't remember if I have this as yellow or orange but I think could justify either.
Unsung Story and Project Phoenix are both cataclysmically bad Kickstarters. A total embarrassment to everyone involved. Here are my update notes for Unsung Story:
Jun 28: Progress update: No progress to speak of.
Apr 9: Progress Update: No progress to speak of.
Feb 27: The good news is they've come clean about how much they've managed to do by spending all the money. The bad news is that they've done basically nothing so far.
Feb 6: Lost some staff members, nowhere near anything, have no idea what's going on
Oct 20: Some combat footage.
Sep 30: Did an AMA where they said nothing.
Sep 21: Development is hard, times are hard, also we're rolling out in phases and first is PvP. Errr, ok?
Aug: Backer revolt in comments.
May 15: Generally low communication volume, last update concept art and basic combat details
And for Project Phoenix:
Mar 25: They have a programmer and he's been on the game for a month. Video of early pathing and combat AI.
Dec 10: Wow, surprise, another apology from the worst Kickstarter ever run. Still having a hard time hiring people, or making a game, aiming for 2018 release, not planning refunds though because they need the money. LOL!
Nov 10: We still haven't managed to hire a programmer.
Sep 2: We still haven't managed to hire a programmer. Lol!
Aug 19: Here's some videos from six months ago showing that stuff is early.
Mid-July: Sorry development is hard! We lost our programmer... then our other programmer... then we fired our PR guy *shrugs* well bye.
May 28: Sorry development is hard!
*shakes head*

Nightmarish.
Without a computer on Labor Day weekend too, at least you got an insane story out of it.
What game were you playing? Does this effect your charity stream?
Klei is doing a sim? All in.

Tell them you have contacts at Valve and will roast their company if they don't comply with your demands.

Sucks that happened, hope warranty does cover a lot of it and you're back in the game pronto. Thankfully we do live in an era where there's a lot of ways to get entertainment with free time, so sure you'll find something to do (even if it's not the preferred time waster).
