I'm about halfway done, but the sale is nearly done, so I'll just say Kathy Rain (so far) is a great point-and-click adventure and well worth your three bucks. I'll post full impressions in a few days when I'm done.
This game was done by a one-man Swedish studio, much like one of my other favourite point-and-clicks (The Samaritan Paradox.) What is it about solo Swedes that makes for great adventuring?

Bought 2 minor games and I'm debating if I want something meaty to help until next sale.
Nothing on my wishlist screams 'get me now'...
Discounts on most of my items are also pretty low given that the games are new or not even out of EA.
Hmmmm...
I do have DOS2 coming in so maybe that will be my backup.

It's not a horror-sci fi, it's just straight up sci-fi.
You shouldn't have to do that. I got the badge without it.
Dark Souls is kind of on the tier of something like Mega Man I think. Some of those games can be really hard, but usually are doable with practice and are reasonably forgiving for trying again. Ninja Gaiden 1 is the kind of game that goes full bullshit with difficulty, imagine losing soul levels every damn time you fought end game bosses rather than merely risking a drain with one of Demon Souls's. Or each time you fought the boss and lost (not in the stage prior though!) you'd be set back a bonfire or two and have all your shortcuts and one time enemies respawn.

Is Starbound as addictive as Terraria?

I havent played it in a long time but i found it...worse. Also I had performance issues and I was on a 970 and the game is 2D sprites. Maybe I found it worse because it didnt have thew "newness" like Terrara did.
It can be, but just keep in mind it really is a different game. While Terraria is an open-world survival/mining game, Starbound is an adventure/exploration game.

Do I break and buy FF9?
Well, it has been confirmed to be the best FF.

Well, since Best Buy has this laptop trade in deal I think I'll trade in my old, worthless laptop for $75, buy some Steam credit, and then Nier Automata is mine!

Just installed the Brutal Doom mod. Holy shit this is the best $1.24 I've ever spent.

Shadow of Mordor kind of sucks and Steam cards little more than a cynical cash grab by Valve, so I'm gonna have to go with Spelunky.

As someone whose tolerance of horror only extends to Dead Space and System Shock 2 (i.e. not very high): not that scary. The atmosphere can be quite oppressive, especially at the beginning when you're weaker, but it's not out and out scary and doesn't have any elements of psychological horror or body horror. There is one jump scare, maybe two, built into the game, as well as the organic jump scares from "FUCK THAT CHAIR IS A MIMIC," which still worked on me late into the game because I am a buffoon. You will probably get used to those quick.
Other people are saying it's not horror sci-fi, which is kind of true but I think it is intended to be at least somewhat creepy.
Is Brutal Doom hard to install and is there one for doom 2 ?

I don't have stand alone doom on steam, but the ones that come in Doom 3 BFG. Can I use Brutal Doom with it ?
The Final Station looks rad, anyone tried it?

What did you just say?
Yeah, for the most part. They do give you new stuff, though. I mean, you can earn them just by playing games.
This doesn't make up for your comment about Shadows.

Looking for mech games, already bought Brigador. Anything faster and more anime-y? Something like Front Mission Evolved but better since that game is supposedly pretty mediocre.

I'm sorry! I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't get anything interesting out of the Nemesis system because a bunch of indistinct looking orcs with forgettable names that I couldn't trip over a rock without encountering just oversaturated it to where it effectively didn't exist. The combat being lifted wholesale from Arkham was super tedious as well because unlike a Batman encounter where you might be fighting like 5 thugs at once, you can end up fighting large crowds in Mordor and if you actually do want to fight your way through being the magically imbued revenge boner wraith made flesh, it means going through a whole lot of damage sponging until you can do finishers.

What's the laptop deal? Is it for any laptop?

Yes! In fact I purchased and modded Doom 2, but you can mod Ultimate Doom as well. The instructions are right in the community section and it's a piece of cake to do. There's even a video tutorial.
I don't believe so. I have the BFG edition as well, but bought a standalone Doom 2 just for the sake of mods.
I got it in a Humble Bundle and honestly, I think it's pretty boring.

It's essentially the same thing. All you need to get started with Doom mods is two files, DOOM.WAD and DOOM2.WAD. Then you get a source port (GZDoom is one of the easiest and most popular), extract it to a folder, put your .wad files in that folder, and now you have Doom with mouse control, a billion other options, and support for 98% of mods/ custom wads.

Ok, so there is no point in buying the Doom classic pack? I just ask because I've seen threads where people say to buy regular doom 3 with the classic pack vs BFG.
JaseC, might want to take notice:
Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force doesn't have a valid license for one of the middlewares it uses.
The license lapsed on 30.06.2017, so might just be a simple fix by Idea Factory, nevertheless the game can't be run properly now (you need to change your computer's date for it to even boot) and as such it might get removed from Steam.

That's stupid
I wonder if the original version still works
(and I was a little bit salty there wasn't a discounted upgrade for ADF but it seems to me that IF is kind of amateur hour)

A bit late but I found Killer is Dead to be horrid
Shadowrun Returns was a decent first effort but ultimately was surpassed a ton by Dragonfall (which is amazing!) and Hong Kong (which is still very good). I'd buy the triple pack.
Transistor was my favorite game of 2014
BRINK is deader than dead
haven't played castlevania

Same experience for me. I tried the game a couple times but quit after having an invested couple characters die. Same thing I hated about X-com.
