Steam :: Hedon Bloodrite :: Hedon 2 Releases on August 30 as Free Update
The update will also apply to the first game, improving several things. IMPORTANT: Your saved games will break, so back up your game folder. The update will be automatic.
Hedon developer decided Hedon II : Bloodrite will be a free update and added to the base game. Game price will increase $9.99 to $16.99.
Releases on the 30th. Currently 15% off.
For the longest time, my rarest achievement was for getting a 25 kill streak in one of those Monday Night Combat games and I'm pretty sure it was glitched because I played that game like once and I seriously doubt I earned it. It somehow went up to 3% at some point, though, so now my rarest is one I'm actually proud of.
Otherwise, my rarest achievements showcase is mostly from indies that barely anyone played like Steamworld Heist, Joe Danger and OlliOlli. Although I see now there's a few from Shovel Knight in there.
edit: oh yeah, I actually have a recording of the run that earned me the achievement!

Finally finished Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. I started playing the game in bed over the weekend and got too comfy and fell asleep multiple times. I can see why they bundled the two games together. I felt the GAA1 was a bit weak and the overall pacing was a bit slow compared to GAA2. GAA overall felt like a breath of fresh air especially when compared to AA5/6 since I felt like they were juggling too many characters.
OST is amazing and I'm listening to it while I work. There are so many tracks that I love from the game especially the tracks made for GAA2-5 but maybe that's because of final case hype.

My rarest Steam achievement is 0.7%, for owning Tabletop Simulator in Early Access.
And that's good, because it's the kind of achievement that can only get more rare with time.
Edit: Second rarest is for playing Divinity Original Sin 2 as Ifan and forgiving Lucian.
Only 1% of players have forgiveness in their hearts.

...I need to know what these developers smoke
My rarest achievement is "Winner" from Spacewar https://steamdb.info/app/480/
Wish I would have tried to check out the Humankind beta. Curious how that one plays, I only watched a bit and it reminds me of Endless Legend, which I bounced off pretty hard.
This was the other one I was curious about haha.

What Did Gabe Newell Say to the Half-Life 3 Protesters?
Where the hell is the next Half-Life game? That's what two Vancouver-based Valve fans wanted to know when they set up shop opposite the headquarters of the people criminally late on shipping Half-Life 2: Episode Three. Valve founder Gabe Newell met with those "protesters" to deliver them good...

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
New ISP, $29 per month, no data cap. Cheaper and faster. Old one is 36.42 down, 6.24 up for $47 (they force cable tv with the package)
How about you guys? What's the price and speed you get for your internet?
My internet speed, not bad! I pay like 35€ per month, little expensive but it includes some TV channels that I never use but also gives me 5€ reduction to my cellphone bill every month also.
Well that's the mother of all flexes. Congrats though! I wish I had that speed!

I paid $104 AUD ($99 for unlimited data + $5 1x static IP)/month. A little too much, perhaps. But hey, at least if Youtube is buffering endlessly, that's on their network and not mine.
Here's mine :
29.99€ per month. Not too bad.
Edit : oops.

I see an ip adresss. You might want to edit that out.
Played some Cepheus Protocol yesterday. Very good game, thought not without problems. Pathfiding is really bad and units get stuck in objects all the time (especially in dense areas) or outright refuse to move if you tell them to move to a location far away, so a lot of micro is required to handhold your units. That's probably the only thing I've encountered that's truly annoying, the rest was just some minor lack of polish and QOL. The content planned is great too and I like how they allow for various roleplay in regard to containment, like setting rules of engagement to target civilians that leave homes on sight as to prevent spread of the virus. Highly recommended, was in the last Humble Monthly, so some people here probably have it. One of the most fun sandbox RTS I've played.
Here's my initial setup from the last game I've played. Secured all the islands that are easy to block due to single entrances, which in turn allowed me to capture a lot of zones for income easily. I ended up winning/losing the game, as the main character (Captain Winter) and Patient Zero killed each other. Here's my screen at the end of the game lol.

Recent upgrade as well. Was getting 150 down 10 up (equivalent of 60$) from my last provider, switched over to a new one and get 200-250 down, 305 up for 70$. Huge improvement, NAT isnt strict now too.
Edit: This is in the Philippines. Internet is pricy here, but thankfully data caps arent a thing. The last ISP that tried a soft cap (download speed gets crippled after exceeding a certain monthly limit) got crucified, so the market let 'em know whats up.

I get about 15% of your speed at the price of 70% of what you pay.
I wish I could get substantially more upstream bandwidth at a reasonable price.
I don't really mind the downstream, even 1 Gbit wouldn't really make a substantial difference for most of my use cases.
Everyone flexing their internet connection and I'm just sitting here with my shitty 4 Mbit connection lmao
470/12... They refuse to improve the upload speed. I can't really host remote play together sessions

Its frankly embarrassing a game published by NetEase’s Canadian branch has regional pricing this bad. $20 USD is not $30 CAD, Fuck off NetEase.
They’re currently tied with SEGA as the most expensive $20usd game in Canada. Who did the same shit with the Yakuza titles.

That's insane, you pay less than I do and get 18 times the speed.
Poland has a solid internet infrastructure. I recently got a fiber connection of 500/50 for 20€. Before that, I paid 15€ for 10/1 since I live in suburbs.
Could have gone with 1 Gbit for about 30€ but that speed reaches the point of diminishing return. 500 Mbit is enough for 1 person because big games download in about 15 minutes anyway.

What makes achievements rare? There are several reasons. I list some of them that came to my mind
- DLC achievements - DLCs that are released after a games releases adds achievements to the game. Many don't buy these dlcs because they have played the base game and felt satisfied and don't want to return to the game
- Multiplayer Achievements on single player games - Not many play multiplayer mode in single player games, such as Batman Arkham series or Tomb Raider series
- Post game updates - Games that are updated with free "dlc" updates sometimes add achievements. Same as the first bullet point as why these achievements are rare. Shovel Knight is one game that has post game updates and that very few return to
- Ultra hard/Grinding achievements - Some games just want to punish players to grind for these achievements. Most players just go to another when they finish the games.
- Broken achievements - Lazy devs that don't bother to fix the games. The original Darksiders had a bug that sometimes unlock achievements. But some games have really broken achievements that cannot be unlocked
- Retired achievements - It's mostly games with multiplayer mode, Batman Arkham Origins is an example.
- Fighting games achievements - These are impossible to unlock, win x amount of matches to unlock. If you start playing a fighting game later then there are only good players left to fight against, and you suck. I suck
In the UK and I get less than a 10th of that speed on an unlimited DL service for aprox 27€
My internet speed, not bad! I pay like 35€ per month, little expensive but it includes some TV channels that I never use but also gives me 5€ reduction to my cellphone bill every month also.
My rarest achioevements are all Zaccaria Pinball and Halo MCC
It's kind of sad how little Austria invests in key infrastructure like this. 1 Gbit symmetric speeds should easily be possible with modern infrastructure, yet no one cares. Even the investment programs of the government feel like a grift, where billions are spent on cellular networks (essentially subsidizing giant telecommunication companies) or on upgrades to positively ancient DSL network.
I wish I could get substantially more upstream bandwidth at a reasonable price.
I don't really mind the downstream, even 1 Gbit wouldn't really make a substantial difference for most of my use cases.
And that's not even mentioning the infrastructure wasteland that is rural Austria, where even getting over 100 Mbit is a pipe dream in 2021.
220Mbps Down and 21Mbps Up. Don't know what the broadband charge is as it's bundled in with our stupid expensive TV Package due to having a sports fan in the house. It's not too bad and i can piss off my housemates with my Wireless AC connection sucking ALL the bandwidth if i don't throttle my downloads, which is nice.
Just a heads up. 75% off sale for Forza Motorsport 7 will expire in 13 hours. It was supposed to run until 15th of September...

Are there DLC worth buying ?I am still wondering if I should buy it or not
Just new cars. Have a look at what's in the car pass and if it appeals to you. There were only a few cars in it that I liked, and the game already comes with like 700 cars, so it didn't seem worth paying twice the base game's price. I did get the version with the VIP pass, which is basically a 2x income booster. Not really necessary turns out, but it did allow me to be a little less selective with car purchases in-game so I'm not too broken up about it.
Re: the game in general, I've played a lot of FM7 the last few weeks and I quite like it. The gameplay gets a bit samey after a while, but it's fun racing and for a more simmy racer it's relatively approachable with all its difficulty tuning options. I started off with most assists on and AI on the easier setting, but as I played more and got a better feeling for its driving model, I was able to steadily turn stuff off and make AI more challenging. So that's nice. Track variety is pretty good, but for some reason certain tracks barely appear in the campaign while others are constantly repeated. Maybe it's just a factor of the racing series that I've been picking...

30€/month, I had 20Mbps a few months ago and way worse connection for the rest of my life, luckily now the situation has improved here
