So, I have just noticed the Monthly Trove does not contain:
  • BattleSloths (prototype, part of the March 2016 Monthly)
  • Tailwind: Prologue (part of April 2016 Monthly)
  • Fidel Dungeon Rescue (prototype, part of October 2016 Monthly)
I wonder what's up with these missing games...

Edit: Oh, well... I guess I get it.

Edit²: The text was already there in May 2016.

Well, BattleSloths has the full game for sale so they dont' want to compete with that or something? Though Kimmy is out for sale and it's in the trove. No idea about the other two.

Impulsively decided to subscribe. Hope it's worth it.

Just did the same thing (well, resubbed in my case). I looked back at the last few months and noticed I ended up regretting every single bundle I skipped either because I already owned or didn't want the early unlock. Hopefully this won't be the one to break the trend...

It'll just be Dark Souls 2, and 6 copies of the unreleased fidget spinner game that gets released on the 7th

In which case, the advertisement for the Humble Trove is misleading. There are 3 games missing from the full catalog of Humble Original games. Maybe even 4 games if Tiny Echo is not added this Friday.

Pinball Arcade Season 4 pro pack
Hollow Knight
Higurashi Episode 1-5
OneShot

A bit more than I thought I would get. Cost me about 75€

It's over (good, bought too much after ignoring the last couple of Steam sales. But I also bought a lot of classics cheap. For example: I've never owned Half-Life digitally. I played the retail versions back then. Same goes for Serious Sam. And I've only played L4D2 over family sharing so far.).

Left 4 Dead 2
Half-Life: Opposing Force
Half-Life: Blue Shift
Half-Life: Source
Half-Life
Serious Sam HD
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter
Portal 2
Aliens Colonial Marines Collection
Arx Fatalis
FINAL FANTASY IX
Alien: Isolation
Aliens vs. Predator (2009)
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
Sniper Elite 3

Enough games to play and replay until the winter sale^^ I actually already finished Walking Dead and the Marine campaign of AvP. Now I'm really enjoying Alien: Isolation. The best Alien game I've ever played.

I think this gif has lots of potential to be made into various 'avoid x' gifs. Someone shop some discounts or something on the missile :p

I bought Tales of Berseria right before the sale ended but it won't even launch on my computer. The process starts and ends with no error message. From googling this problem it looks like a lot of other people have similar problems, but with widely different solutions. From running Steam as admin, launching the game with no controllers connected, and the most obvious verify files. None of that worked for me though.

I've only heard good things about the PC version, so I was surprised to encounter this. Glad I bought it on Steam and not a third party key seller so I can refund it unless it suddenly starts working for me.
Anime is dead.
 
So, I was sceptical, but I did buy Just Cause 3 XL on sale.

So far, after 38 minutes played.

*Weird long start up time.
*It does an online login which takes some time every I start the game. Didn't ask for that.
*Struggles with a consistent 60 FPS for me, despite landscapes and vehicles looking worse then in Just Cause 2.
*Started stuttering when I was playing the second mission, crashed me out to the desktop.
*Restarted the game, noticed that I had no progress in the mission I was playing.
*And then it crashed my graphic card drivers, and sent me back to the desktop again.

I'm going to be honest with you Rico, it doesn't look good for you so far.
 
Only spent $4 on Shadow of Mordor. What an awful, awful sale. I missed the days when I spent $100-$200 because the deals were too good to pass up.
 
Come on, close the thread already, i want to move back to our reservation on community side. Too much anime already, it's going to be much worse every second you keep this thread open.

Anime is a little world on its own on Steam. This is the free space surrounding the anime tag:

Don't be afraid of Anime.
Just make sure you ban the tag from your discovery queue.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
So, I got all the stickers but apparently have no badge, and now the completed sticker albums are invisible?

I love how these 4 tags are so close to each other and yet so far away from everything else

I have a question.

Using BPM again and before I could always browse community guides when pressing the Xbox One Guide button.

Now when I press it, it opens the BPM overlay, but I cant see them anymore. I can see controller configurations, friends and web.
 
This is the first sale where the number of games in my account actually decreased. I've been going through my library and gotten rid of a bunch of bundle-trash and other games that I will never play in a million years. I'd like to reduce my library to just those games that I actually want to play sometime in the future and those games that I have played (minus complete garbage).

I did pick up some DLC for games that I am currently playing and I will probably also grab Hollow Knight from Humble, thanks to everyone recommending it.
