The Deponia games are a riot 
I may or may not need to think about getting some more Daedalic adventures after this.
In other news I've started Tomb Raider Anniversary since I'm still kind of in a Tomb Raider mood and figured I'd go check out some of the older ones, and since this is a remake of the first game it made a lot of sense.
Haven't played much but first impression is positive. And it sure looks very good for its age.
13 years old and runs easily at 4k@140fps.
I'm always impressed when old games just easily run on whatever you want them to compared to modern games that are fps or sometimes even resolution locked (looking at you in particular japanese console ports!).

Was this title already known (from the developers of Mordheim: City of the Damned)?

Nice that big companies are upgrading their line-up. Index is superior in many aspects of the headset, let alone controllers.
But as usual, doubt it'll be affordable to me yet.
yes the deponia series is very fun. Daedalic has some great PnC in their libraryThe Deponia games are a riot

25 years later, Task Manager's creator shares a bunch of cool tips for using it
David Plummer, who wrote Task Manager back in 1994, takes us way deeper than just pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
www.pcgamer.com
- Ctrl-Shift-Esc will also launch Task Manager if Explorer is dead and your system tray is gone.
- You can find the binary for any executing process in the process table by right clicking and pick "Show File Location".
- You can add and remove columns, and reorder them by dragging and dropping.
- Task Manager loads in reduced mode (just showing processes, for example) if there aren't enough resources available. "It's one of the very few apps that won't just 'fail and bail' when things go wrong," Plummer says.
- Hold Ctrl, Alt, and Shift while restarting Task Manager if it's been corrupted, which will reset all internal settings to its factory originals.
- If only the graph loads, double-click in the dead space in the client to switch back to normal mode.
I didn't realize that DF turned into LGR. Also I guess this is what Alex has been working on for the last week or so since I did see this photo of him earlier this week I think. But the video itself is new.
Wasn't really expecting a sensual retro PC build video to see today but here we are
Sunday is normally when DF does Retro video and it's not Sunday today
My Vinyl OST should be arrive next week, so I look forward to that
I need the PCVR version.
That VN section though, it seems that there is an H game that is going to do a Q&A and shows up as part of the calendar on there (you need to be able to see Adult content in order for it to show up though).Well, as the moment gets closer, new things related to the Steam summer event are appearing, the schedule page to be more specific with a list of games that will be shown (and also some that are unnanounced at the moment)
It also features the calendar (feature that eonden will surely appreciate) and a great number of options for the AMA, wishlists and a little preview with the tiny_trailers.
Please, take a look if you want
Steam Game Festival - Preliminary Calendar
Hello Steam Game Festival participants! We've got two final notes ahead of the Steam Game Festival: 1. When the Steam Game Festival goes live at 10am Pacific time on June 9th, we'll automatically mark your demos as 'available' for the duration of the festival. When the festival concludes, those...store.steampowered.com
The game also has cross play and people don't seem to like the game based off some of the reviews
Spent all day downloading Dirt Rally 2.0 (100 GB, phew!)
I love it. I like a good racing game and this one so far is great fun.
Also i love the 'realism'. Twice ive done pretty good on a couple of stages only to bash in my headlights on the next stage and then get stuck with a night stage without being able to see anything. I really like how no matter how well you are doing you are only one big smash away from ruining the whole event.
Its sense of speed is good too. I haven't blinked for about an hour now.

Haha, I've played a bit more and the difference is amusing.
Rice: the first bear encounter results in a dramatic escape sequence and has you gather stuff to craft poison arrows to stun the thing
Anniversary: the first bear encounter is a tutorial that teaches you how to backflip dodge an attack and headshot counter
My attention, this game has it

One of my Top Anticipated games of the year.
announced sometime in 2018 ... no news ever since . Great to see it reappear

Simple works
I guess the apple arcade version was kind of an incomplete early access version. I honestly had no idea this existed.

Note to self patreon is a weird thing and I don't think I will ever use it again.
For the people that played Deep Rock Galactic, are you basically force to do the first mission that fill the progress bar alone? I can't find anyone doing them. I imagine they're kind of a tutorial of the various types of missions?
Probably still a bit too expensive for me but since adjustable ipd and 90+ fps aren't optional in my case this might be the best option yet.
I actually had no idea about this either. It will be interesting to test this vs steam link. For some reason i always get insane input lag on steam link (which goes away if i use the on screen controls on my ipad).
Dicey Dungeons is 50% off right now. It has been updated to version 1.8. This update includes native controller support.
They also used this time to promote a fan mod called MegaQuest. I haven't had a chance to try it out, but it adds a bunch of content. Cool.

Is there a quick way to see the price of a bundle on steam before purchasing something in it or do I need to do the math manually?
See the price like having part of the bundle but without purchasing anything in my account.
So complete your collection? You can hit bundle info or just add to cart and see.
You have a choice of removing from cart.

I presume you're interested in buying something outside Steam so you can purchase a bundle on Steam with a discount?
Unfortunately I don't think there's an easy way to tell what the discount will end up being. Only thing you can do is to ask someone who owns that particular set of games what price they're seeing.

Hmmmmmh what to do what to do, finally a sale on one of the two realistic WW2 multiplayer FPSs that I really want to play, but its only 20% and pretty much all my steam funds so cant buy cards haha.
Anyone try out Hell Let Loose? I'm also interested in Post Scriptum. They both look pretty much the same.

Have limited budget. Saving for Summer Sale event..Skulls for the Skull Throne - Warhammer
Need thoughts on
- Mechanicus (-65% off)
- Dawn of War II Grandmaster Collection (-75% off)
- Battlefleet Gothic Armada 1 or 2 (-75 and -70% off)
- Space Hulk Tactics (-75% off) (What happened to older Space Hulk games?)
- Mordheim: City of the Damned (-70% off)
Dawn of War II is a classic and the best 40k game available. If you are a fan of the franchise it's a no brainer and even a good pick for all RTS fans. You control less units than in a typical RTS like StarCraft or C&C, micro management, positioning (cover), and holding strategic points is important.Have limited budget.

The game is now 11 years old and while it runs very well on a modern OS/System UI scaling is a bit of a problem in higher resolution.
For content in the pack: A lot of stuff in there seems to be for the "Last Stand" Multiplayer mode. It's a PvE arena survival mode for 4 players and the DLC adds various heroes for players to choose. It was very popular for a couple of years. If you want to save a bit of money, just get Dawn of War 2 + Chaos Rising + Retribution (proper DLCs). Unless the whole package is the cheaper option, of course.
No idea what the difference is between Space Hulk (2013) and the a bit newer Space Hulk Tactics (2018) is. I only played the 2013 iteration and that wasn't a good game.
I think you can skip Armada 1. Armada 2 is a tuned down 4x strategy game with emphasize on a strategic, real time combat mode. Though you can not "overpower" your enemies with fleet size as your fleets are limited by resource points (increases throughout the campaign). This means your fleets are mostly similar in size and power to enemy fleets etc.
Combat does not necessary concentrate on destroying the enemy fleet, holding strategic points is just as important. Many "maps" also have modifiers like for example asteroids randomly cruising around. Still it can get a bit repetitive over time, but worth the 12€ asking price imo.
Mordheim has it's fan base and it can be some fun in MP. It is a wildly accurate Table Top iteration. You'll want to buy all the DLC here too as it adds more factions and units. But overall I'd say: Skip. Unless you really like Mordheim, I guess.
How big is the Power Rangers community? It's impressive that this fighting game is the first game that has cross play among five different platforms. Is there other games that have cross play among two platforms at least?
DOW II is essential.Have limited budget. Saving for Summer Sale event..

Mechanicus is a pretty neat TBT, but it got a bit repetitive for me.
I couldnt get into the Gothic Armada games, not played the bottom two.
