The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread - WINTER SALE 2024

[Curratum]

Here's what I got in this sale, after refunding a couple of games:

Dusk (gift to a friend)
The Crew 2
The Room 3
Guard Duty

Guard Duty was bought entirely with the 5000-token 4.50 EUR voucher from the sale event.

- Still no non-uniform scaling
- Still doesn't work on Win7
- IIRC since the last year all GPU drivers support this out of the box
- Doom is one of the worst examples considering the sheer number of sourceports
- Doom was not widescreen

Picked up the Hand of Fate 2 complete pack since I'm mildly concerned it'll vanish since the developer went tits up, and then Dicey Dungeons since that's the sort of bullshit I like and mild interest from grabbing VVVVV from a bundle years ago. Probably the lightest I've gone on a major sale in years but the backlog's packed and Humble monthly's dripfeeding me shit. Plus the backlog's exacerbated with Steam sharing, I'll probably play my buddy's copy of Sekiro at some point.

Easy money for the dude. To his credit, the fact that drivers finally after all these years have this option, has probably something to do with him proving the demand for this feature and bringing it to attention of some higher ups.

It is free, if you're willing to compile it yourself. AMD's 2020 drivers also have Integer Scaling as a toggle box in the settings, but those drivers are unstable right now so I wouldn't recommend using them for a month or two until problems are sorted.
I think it's locked for only the newest cards on Nvidia, and they may or may not release it for everything else later.

Winter Sale is over and I refunded Knights Of The Chalice.
Ugly 90s graphics, abstruse boardgeek rules and my wizard got ganked at the start of combat by lizardman before I can move.
Haha I kid, he gets roots.
KOTC reminds me of the old Darksun Shattered Lands and TOEE.

GOD WARS The Complete Legend

I look forward to reading some impressions on this one. Been tempted for awhile.

 

[someone else]

This game consists of 3 mini games, to completely undress the girls you need only one hand, with cute NEKO girls you can play the game for memory, puzzles, and hands game. 10 hot NEKO girls are waiting for you.
Play in:

• MEMORY GAME;
  
• PUZZLE GAME;
  
• HANDS GAME;

Enjoy the sweet anime songs, the sweet lips of the girls, stay alone with your 2d waifu.

This game released Nov 2019 has more curator reviews than KOTC, which doesn't cater to the one-handed market.

I missed out on the Steam sales due to dead desktop and fever during holidays.
Cheered me up by going on MS Gamepass for $1 a month and getting access to Pathologic 2 among others like Kingdom Come Deliverance, Vampyr, Outer Worlds, etc.

Should be $5 a month full price for PC. $10 price is if you want to play shit on console, and I think it's $15 regularly if you want both. Unless they've jacked the price up on PC which they probably will at some point.
