Sure, regular batteries are stupidly expensive, 500x the price of the kWh vs regular electricity.

Even if the batteries you buy are crappy, you still end up winning.

That said, I recommend the Eneloops. Their charge hold is good.

Quick question: I know the cut off is the 7th, but at what time? I'm in the UK so the time zone would be appreciated too please (I can convert myself, so just gimme the time & timezone & I'll work it out) Ta :)

I used to cut at 12PM EST / 6PM UK to have a full 48h of prize buying left, but I'll let Trout and Alakazam decide.

I also enjoyed Death's Gambit, in terms of 2D Souls-likes

doesn't work with 144fps monitors :/

I could never get into the Souls games. I dunno. Too meticulous for me maybe?

You could try one of the 2D clones, movement is more limited that way. I recommend Salt and Sanctuary, and Blasphemous.

The keyboard on my laptop is fucked up; its like it thinks the space/enter/backspace keys are constantly being pressed or something. For example, when in chrome and I press the enter key to move to next line, it beeps a few times and then spazzes out and opens a new window.

I tried spraying out under neath the keys, its pretty clean overall anyway. Can it be that only a couple of keys are affected, I could have some kind of bigger keyboard issue? I didnt try taking the back cover off yet to inspect.

Thoughts?

You could try to bypass the problem with macros. Use Autohotkey, and create a macro that disables a key on keypress for a second or so. It's pretty easy to find template macros online to do stuff with AHK.

You guys have any suggestions for Metroidvania games besides: Bloodstained RoTN , Dead Cells , Cave Story or Axiom Verge?

They don't even have to be "metroidvania" games exactly like that. Any similar suggestions welcomed. Thanks!

Hollow Knight is really good.

Fez is trippy and more exploration focused.

Guacamelees aren't bad.

Chelsea and the 7 Devils is technical but fun.

Rogue Legacy is the roguelite version, similar to Dead Cells though not as tight.

Blasphemous and Salt And Sanctuary are the Dark Souls versions.

Finally, The Messenger which is inspired by Ninja Gaiden and it's really good.

Just for future reference... probably tonight or tomorrow... did you always do a new title with part 2 of the topic? Or keep the first one? Barely matters, of course... just curious

Tended to change the topic title, yes.

Thanks Alakazam for pitching in with a prize.

IIRC the first contest had a $50 winner, but then I decided to reduce the money per prize to have as many people as possible win. So I support the choice.

Oh you sweet Summer child. I didn't do much updating even when I was in charge lol

A bundle was treated as one entry in past giveaways.

More specifically, 5 games from a bundle = 1 entry.

But there have been times where this hasn't been applied.

I'd say TroutPaste's approach of bundling the Half Life games together is OK.

Steam now recommends you games based on what you've played. Useful for big libraries.

Alakazamtrainer gifted me Kitten Rampage in return, whose Steam trailer has way too good music for its own good. Thanks!

And then he went and gave a real game, Fallout 4. Not as good as the former of course, but the heart was there.

And to answer your question: maybe now that the euro and dollar are close in value, Steam's value filter is turned off and we can gift eachother normally? Dunno.

IIRC it will autobounce. You will still have the gift in your inventory, you can give it to someone else or have it refunded.

Arent they generally not allowed here? kinda dumb but i think so

They are, they just can't accept any money or prizes from users. So that wouldn't work, no. Best next thing is an ex-mod.

The laptop is good for the price, I approve of the high refresh screen. Just get a cooling pad for it as it may get a bit hot.

There's a tab in there with my old initial post, if you want inspiration.

I can create the Google Doc if you want, no problem. I'll do it in a few hours though, it's a bit morning-y here in Europe. Just PM me your Gmail to give you control over it.

This is maybe the issue. Dark Souls beginners tip #1: if you see skeletons, you are going the wrong way. Turn back and come back there later on.
