They were on Steam until last night.

 

They were actually £35.40 factoring in the delivery charge (not taking into account the potential use of store credit, gift cards, gift money, part payment from someone else or it being a present in general).

It's more the fact that that's likely to not be an option you can even make use of with the Steam Link that's the problem. However, what you can do is set up the controller for use on the host PC or whatever and still control the game that's running on the client via streaming (providing the range on your controller is up to it) given the game is just running as nomal on the host. Works great.

I bought the humble monthly bundle this month because it was the cheapest way to buy Rocket League to play with my friend the other weekend (I am now addicted), but I know I'm terrible at playing new games so, having already offloaded a couple onto people who've given me stuff in the past, I have the following available to any cheery regulars who will actually play them:

 

The Forest (gone to Mentazm)

Wasted

 

Oh, and I still have these from previous bundles (sorry for the poor formatting):

True. I had about a tenner credit (from selling cards!) so it was actually just under £27 for me.

I just added Wasted to my wishlist... But I do not need any more games at the moment, I do not need any more games at the moment. *mantra fades into silence engulfed by the library backlog*

 

Played through Never Alone - which wouldn't run on my laptop - and enjoyed it. The DLC added more gamey puzzling too. Felt kind of dirty playing and finishing a game on Steam though. Forgive me Steam thread, for I have sinned.

On Chapter 3 and enjoying actually making some progress. Not suitable for the kids though, hence the Never Alone playthrough. Just thrown in some mods, as the grind for money was getting tedious. Managed to let a couple of quests reach failstate with a shrug too - so much going on that I've given up on OCD completion. Recommend installing one round dice game, summonable shopkeeper, plentiful herbs and inventory increase mods to avoid that Resident Evil item juggle experience =)

Oh god don't tell me you can mod it I'll never get round to playing it due to faffing about endlessly :facepalm:  I need to let go of being able to do everything in a game, I barely managed to reach the first thing to do "proper" in chapter 1 due to being obsessed about trying to find every piece of crap in every house and talking to everyone and seeing that I needed to somehow grind money from fights to get books just so I could complete some killathon/collectathon sidequests... I suspect I'll never get anywhere with it fast if I carry on like that. I'm kind of OK with it in Fallout as I know most of the tat lying about is useless to me, but in The Witcher I don't know what's handy or not at the moment and to buy things is seemingly bloody expensive.

Fortunately the mods aren't that extensive but there are ones that will cater for your needs. The summonable shopkeeper means you don't have to trek around the world or just leave goodies lying around, meaning you can afford the books when you find booksellers. Alternatively you can add in a mod that gives you books that teach you all the herbs and monster parts in one go.

Hmm. My Steamlink seems quite inconsistent. Sometimes it chugs all over the place, other times it runs smoothly but does show slight artifacting. I've set it down to 720P but I guess I'm going to have to do more tweaks.

What GPU do you have?

 

If it's different games giving different performance it'll be because Steam has a range of methods for capturing/encoding footage for the Steam Link. Sometimes the most optimal method won't work with some games, so it'll drop down to a different encoding method which can be more intensive and cause problems.

I don't know what options you have on the Steam Link, if any, but if you're experiencing all this in the same game but in different play sessions then setting the bandwidth to a set amount rather than letting Steam decide got rid of the artifacting problems (my network was fine and unchanged, christ knows why Steam then decided at one point it needed to use a really shit bitrate for the encoding)

I will give those options a try tonight. I'm using wired connection with my PC running through hot plugs (or whatever they're called).

The main games I'm noticing it on are Sonic Racing Transformed and Call Of Juarez Gunslinger

Fwiw, my PC is pretty good but Sonic Transformed was the first thing I tried and of course I'm through plugs too.

 

And it was perfect.

Hmm. It's a little old now. But it was able to play games like Skyrim, DMC, and Transformed on full settings at 1080p at 60fps.

Right. I've changed it to 15 big abuts from automatic and its miles better. The latency isn't the best, but I've dropped everything g to 720p and that seems to have helped it a smidge. Basically I can now play the best version of sonic transformed at a stupid frame rate and that makes me happy.

i just wish I had outrun 2006 on steam :(

I've grown too content with humble bundles to care about individual sales, really. Of course it still makes sense if a particular game you really want gets a sale, but the 'oohh I can't miss out on this, look at the price!' factor is gone for me.

The only officially supported controller to use when playing Telltale Games on PC is the Wired Xbox 360 Controller. Unfortunately the Xbox One controller is not supported to use in-game. I will, however, make sure to pass along your interest in using the Xbox One controller as an input device!

 

Fuck you, Telltale.
