Don't bother with it if you already have an HDMI cable run.

I want one, but Valve won´t sell Steam Links to Brazil
I game on a notebook, so I can easily hook it to my TV. However, I'll buy a desktop next year. I'm curious: so you use a long HDMI cable, but how do you control the games?

Must be dry ice.
The full unicode library takes quite a few kilobytes, be advised.

It's possible they're trying to get more Chinese players to get one.

Icey a pun groan-worthy enough that I should've posted it first.

Yeah, no way I'll do this, not my style. At least I'd play the second one, I've heard it's pretty good.
Well, good news since I already have the first one.
Anyway, I ended up deciding to buy it and that way I'll be motivated to read the books even faster, so thanks all.

I played and beat Cave Story+ in a single sesion today and man... that game is really good. It's a masterclass in using what you have to full effect. I played the freeware version ages ago and got stuck on the final boss--I'm glad to have finally seen it through fully. It's so charming.
I do wish the + version was a little closer to the freeware one, though. Original music and visuals are not enough--I missed the original translation, if only for Balrog's "HUZZAH!" Also, there was some weird, glitchy visual bug for the entire game, where certain tiles of the world would blink out of existence for a split second; it didn't affect gameplay or performance at all but it was annoying. And I dunno that I exited out of the end credits properly? Oh well.
But still, everyone should play Cave Story+. No excuses. Some real GOAT game design on display. It's incredibly fun.

I love it. It's getting better with each update.
Only things Civ V has over Civ VI is William Morgan Sheppard, and the same issue as the Civ IV to V shuffle - it's hard to move to a new system that doesn't behave the same as the old one, so it can feel comfortable to just go back to the old one you know.

Is there something wrong with Steam releases lately? Every time a game is supposed to release at xx:00, it always takes a while now instead of directly releasing at that time.

Good to know updates make it better. I'm considering buying it (gotta ask my wife - she might say no); I have a coupon (50% off) on Steam for Civ 6 that brings the base price down to $40 CAD.

Because of the re-release, seems likely it'll be on Steam again soon.
Valve testing new Inventory history:
https://steamcommunity.com/my/inventoryhistory?new=1 you can use this to enable it for you, if you wan to test.
It's missing some songs of the soundtrack which apparently was the reason it got removed back then.

There's also Ikachan, from the same dev. It's way smaller in scope, but man, it's such an enjoyable game. I bought it on the 3DS because it was really cheap and I beat it in less than an hour, but it's so delightful that I probably finished it five or six times.
The licensed tracks were just replaced with 6KB files of nothingness rather than removed from the game entirely, so that's easily fixed:
Thanks, interesting stuff. I got this message above the inventory when I viewed it:
I wonder if the in-game crafting affects the full history being possible (for some of these at least).
Nice, that's good to know.
That should be easy to mod back in then.
Yeah, it's just a matter of overwriting the modified files with the originals in the zip.
was thinking the same, its 39.99 base price now.

Mafia I still holds up, had to download a couple mods to get it looking and running right for me but it's still an impressive looking game for how old it is and it plays really nice too. With this and SWAT 4, I gotta give GOG props for helping to bring back some real classics lost to time and licensing issues.

Damn, if you thought the

Gonna finish South Park first, but very much looking forward to it. Based on the first episode alone i liked BtS more than the original, hope they can keep that quality to the end.

Did you do the true ending? I don't want to spoil, but the process of obtaining it made it become from a great game to one of my favorite games of all time.
If you liked CS, give Kero blaster a try, made by the same guy and plays beautifully.

Wasn't good enough for the true ending, but I'm looking forward to it in a replay sometime.
And, Kero Blaster... I don't remember what disinterested me in it anymore. I think it was something to do with the controls. But right now it's hard not to add it to my wishlist, so I will.
