    GOG's Winter Sale is on, and they're giving away copies of classic adventure game Full Throttle Remastered. You can also get Fantasy General (a classic DOS-era turn-based strategy) if you by anything, and Everspace, a very pretty space-themed shooter.

    The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

    Does the GOG release of Everspace support VR like the Steam release? I don't see it mentioned.

    In a way, it is. It is a free second copy of several games you've previously purchased.

    Big holiday sale on PSN. I think week 1 is still in effect but probably not for long. I impulsed-bought/porked out on a lot of ~$1-$5 games, totaling about $50-60 (half of those I'm not sure I'm gonna play once...). Still have ~$30 left.

    Here's the list.

    If you have any games you recommend among those, feel free to share.

    So, I've had this shit gathering electronic dust on my Steam inventory for over four years:



    No, I don't play Kojima games... or anything ever published by Konami. Turns out that the friend that got me involved with Steam years ago had bought a new videocard and it came with a coupon for MGSV... which at some point came bundled with a extra copy of "THE techdemo" (his words, not mine). He's the Kojimafanboy, so he had already bought that the moment Konami released it, and instead of trading that thing with other Kojimafanboys, he ended dumping it at my inventory, thinking that I could ever become a Kojimafanboy myself (spoilers:
    ).

    This is it - if anyone still wants that $3.99 techdemo, I'm all ears. But here is the catch: this gift copy was from the era Konami started giving ideas to Steam to regionlock gifts (how those Soviet commies even dared buying cheap games with their toy currency for their 'murican comrades!), and therefore it can be only activated in Latin America. If you want to help me find a good home for it, here are some ideas about games I would actually play. PM or ping me on Steam if you have a deal.

    Your real wallet or a digital wallet? If the latter, why? It's not like it's any cheaper than paying by Credit Card.

    Yep.

    And in some marginal cases, it's the only way for you to play the games you've paid for on your platform of choice.

    Case in point: the original BIT.TRIP RUNNER. There has been a Linux version since it got featured on one of the earliest Humble Indie Bundles, but that happened well before Steam opened shop for us Linux users. For whatever reason, the publisher/devs never bothered releasing this port on Steam, so if you didn't got your copy through said HIB, you were barred from playing the game on Linux despite the existence of an actual official port! Some rumoured that they never published the game to Steam due to the Linux port lacking Steamworks integration (no achievements, etc.), but there never was an official word on the matter. Furthermore, the sequel (RUNNER2) did got a native Linux port from Day 1 (and it works beautifully, too bad that was when my Steamlaptop died, so I didn't managed to fully enjoy the game...).

    Enter GOG Connect. Unfortunately, the number of available games from my library is still on the single digits (visual novels being the main offenders), but RUNNER is one of those wonderful exceptions. And even better, GOG has the DRM-free, native Linux port, complete with a Windows-esque installer! At 51MB the download, it's somewhat playable on my 2006-vintage Inspiron 6400 laptop with its unlovely ATi X1400 GPU (but that's not surprising considering the game had a Wii port, a platform with far less resources than my mainstream-class laptop).

    Oh, there is a RUNNER3 now available. It's made in Unity, and its devs didn't even bothered building a Linux port, using the classic "if there is demand, we will do it" lameass excuse :/

    I believe he is also including stuff in the trading market, which only accept steam wallet transactions.

      This does not actually go there and I regret nothing.
