I've been waiting for Bloodstainend! Some other good stuff in there as well. Will grab it.

Well, at least my backlog won't be expanding right this instant.
For those of you going in for Bloodstained, there's a hard mode you can unlock from the start via some button combination. Not sure I would recommend it. I personally found it a little too challenging and awkwardly balanced for a first playthrough, but if you're up for some tough bosses, keep it in mind.

Humble Choice - August 2021
Get Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Superliminal, and more Steam PC games with Humble Choice August 2021!
gg.deals
Superliminal is a headliner according to this email sent by Humble.
I actually like when humble has meh months, that way I save money and can pause and when there is a bundle I really want they likely will offer me a reduction in price. Win win.
I really enjoyed Superliminal, good sort of walking sim puzzle story type game. Quite trippy in places, lots of perspective based puzzles.
Carto was good too.

HB August Choice - Steam key :: Encodya General Discussions
I don't want a GOG key, can you devs give the option to have Steam key as well?
It has just started. Let's see how the events unfold.
Pretty good month for me. Probably will grab it when Humble emailed me to resubscribe at reduced price
Lots of good stuff:
- Carto (Humble publisher & Game Pass),
- Nowhere Prophet (No More Robots publisher & Game Pass),
- Superliminal (EGS exclusive?),
- Bloodstained (anime & Game Pass),
- etc.
Superliminal, Carto, and Drake Hollow make this a good month for me.
Also, for anyone on a plan with a limited number of picks, I'll say this:
Blue Fire is
As Far As The Eye disappointed me (interface was really unpolished, to the point of interfering with the experience)

Very basic and not much to it, 4 very small maps, not even a point-system (achievements though). But I like the style. And price.

Yo what the FUCK?! Opting out of the Steam beta client uninstalled a SHIT load of games. Space is still taken but it doesn't seem like they'll just rediscover the files, they're redownloading. What the fuck, man?
edit: Whew, crisis averted. I noticed all the games were installing to my boot drive, which shouldn't be the default. It had simply forgotten the library location on my secondary drive. Re-adding the folder made all the games show up as installed again. Well, that was terrifying for a second...

Gamepass: turning a good month into a bad month. Sounds like microsoft all right.
I didn't know solitaire let you aim down sights (ads) is that like a card peaking technique
they don't
But like, seriously, how does it work?
manchego obfuscator 's post earlier lists all the games and its around £200 worth of games that they are charging me a tenner for. I get that its charity but do the devs just give their games away for free? Whats the deal.

not free ... but they ARE giving them the copies for basically peanuts
Carto is good. It's also very pretty.
If anyone has an UW monitor, I think I simply played it windowed with borderless gaming. It magically extended it perfectly.

Well i will be paying it forward, ill probably be giving most of this months games away so keep an eye on the giveaway thread peoples.
Most games are available on cheap services:
- Bloodstained is part of EA Play Pro, and was previously included in Game Pass.
- Carto: Game Pass.
- Drake Hollow: Game Pass.
- Encodya: GOG only.
- Nowhere Prophet: Game Pass.
- Out of Space: previously bundled twice by Fanatical.
- Superliminal : previously an EGS exclusivity
- Last Oasis: MMO,
- We Need to Go Deeper: online multiplayer.
- As far as the Eye: peak today ~ 130,
- Blue Fire: all-time peak ~ 300,
- Cepheus Protocol: all-time peak ~ 200.

I wonder how much they paid activision that month they gave 3 of their games (crash, spyro and one COD) away, knowing acti i doubt they gave them for cheap.
We know Humble paid 1kk$ for Resident Evil VII if my memory serves right. Madjoki probably can correct me if I'm wrong.
And unfortunately those who know the amount of Choice subs can't disclose the numbers due to NDA. But it could be over 200k easily.
I thought the same. CoD games are almost never on sale and magically they're on sale when shit's going down at Acti. Motherfuckers.
Come on, Acti, bring Crash to Steam. And then give keys to Humble Choice.

Steam :: Steamworks Development :: New! Display Patch Notes right in the Downloads view
So what changed? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Regarding Humble Choice:
I've had
on my wishlist for awhile now. It looks really interesting, but its early access and it seems like the game is changing quite a lot currently.
I find early access to be better when the game already "feels" finished, even if they add new features. Like Factorio for example.
Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I‘m trying to be budget conscious here. It sucks.
Huge thanks to nordschatten

Yes, I sent you a DM with the first two, since I had them already.
My only real gripe with the current choice, as well as most of them in the past, is humble's insistence on putting multiple multiplayer games in the basket because: a) like me, I'm guessing most buyers of that service vastly prefer single player games and b) whenever a multiplayer game is put in a bundle is already dead or close to it.
Maybe those are easier to get hold of or maybe they see them as just padding but I wish they'd limit it to 1 per month, 2 at most but never in consecutive months.

If/when Humble starts phasing out Steam keys I will definitely be out. At that point, I'd rather just play the games on Game Pass and move on. I have long thought all 3rd party stores should just offer options to pick whichever key you want so everyone is happy.
And yet 1,2, and MW4 are still $10. As much as I'd like to have digital copies, 1 - Effff Actard for their terrible culture, and 2 - $10 after nearly 20 years? Nah man. COD ain't worth it that much to me. Keep your games

Real talk, the ads on Microsoft Solitaire Collection scare the living shit out of me. They're those point and click f2p mobile game ads, and they're LOUD. I used to love playing the previous version of Solitaire before they tried to monetize it.
And if you click off it, the ad pauses. It's funny.

Dayum, this looks great. And already available on itch
I should follow the indie scene more closely, didn’t we have a thread ?
Played this earlier the year. Really nice game, even if a bit short. Will be happy to actually buy it on Steam to support the dev. Seems kinda dumb to release the macOS version only on itch, and not on Steam too.
Got CoDs the only time they had sort of good discount. (I think, 2018)
Thankfully new games aren't on Steam, so I haven't had need to buy any since.
My choice is to pause Humble Choice this month. I’m not saying the games available are bad, but there’s nothing in it for me.
I don’t even know why I keep my Classic plan going. The service is clearly on its way out and I hang on in hope that one month they will get me to spend some cash.
