Okay peoples. It's that time.
During the charity drive, you [collective you, not just you, though you know who you are] went completely bonkers. Consequently, y'all get to go equally bonkers with my Steam profile.
Yep, once again everything is up for you [collective... see above] to change everything. Steam name, avatar, background, badges, showcases, whatever. Whatever it ends up being, it will stay that way for one month. Well... 30 days. I won't even cheat y'all by using February.
PM me any suggestions for things you want to change. Anything is fair game as long as it won't get me banned. After a few days, I'll take all the suggestions and start a bunch of polls just like last time.
Oh wait, this reminds me of something...
I was planning to delay the suggestions for my own profile until next weekend at least, but since Pixie decided to begin accepting them for hers I think I will open the gates too.
So send me a PM with your second worst/best ideas for my profile (save the first ones for Pixie's).
Same rules as Pixie's with only the exception I mentioned during the charity drive: prior to the voting Pixie will be able to pick one of the available elements of my profile that can be customised and decide that one herself.
A friendly reminder to anyone currently subscribed to Humble Monthly:
Today is the last day to unsubscribe before you are automatically billed for the next month. If you stay subscribed, you will get Civ 6 + 2 expansions and Owlboy.
Just to let everyone know and so you're not offended, I'm starting to go through my unplayed games on Steam as I get to them and refunding ones that I don't like or won't play. I'll send you a message to ya if I refund your gift, in which case you are then eligible to refund them yourself and gift new better stuff to other people.
Consider it a library cleansing of sorts.
I figured gifts would be under the same rules as regular purchases before you can refund; that is, 2 hours or 2 weeks owned, whichever comes first.
Is it two weeks? I thought it was 6 months?
Nope, 2 weeks owned or two hours played, whichever comes first, unless something has changed very recently.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaak. Nevermind then. They shall remain like graves in my library.
This is the reason I have a method to "retire" games that just don't give me what I want.
Specifically I hide them, as if they were a secret shame or something. They get to go sit in that room and think about what they did.
Though to be fair, they usually sit alongside "Ori but not the deluxe version" or "Letter Quest but not the remastered version"; i.e. that's also my place for old unremastered versions, excluding a few games such as Skyrim and Bioshock games.

The Witness is on sale for $10. Absolutely worth it if you haven't played it and want to solve puzzles. So many puzzles, and many of them have a way of stumping you for a while.
The Far Cry franchise is advertised as on sale for the weekend, and right before I was going to hit "post" it looks like it actually is live. Took about half an hour's time from when they first advertised it.

And if you own Braid you can buy the Witness + Braid bundle for $8

If I unsubscribe do I still get whatever games they haven't announced yet?

Yes, you always get the full bundle of games for the month you've subscribed to. And you can always resubscribe for next month later if you rather wait for the revealed game before deciding.

If you were subscribed for the previous month (in this case, if you got The Long Dark, Quantum Break and Dawn of War 3 from last month) but have not elected to pay early to unlock Civ 6, then if you unsubscribe today, you won't get billed tomorrow for Civ 6 plus whatever they reveal on Feb 2.
If you have already unlocked Civ 6 by paying early, if you unsubscribe now, you still get all the revealed games + the ones that will be revealed next week but you will no longer have a 10% discount at the Humble Store (until you resubscribe)
CORRECTION: apparently, when you unsubscribe, you get to keep your 10% discount at the Humble Store until your subscription expires. That's a good change
It's the first time I've used it. I signed up specifically for Civ6 + whatever else and that's showing up in my purchase history. I just wanted to make sure that if I unsubscribe I get to keep the full bundle. Thanks for the answers.
Even I only got to keep Civ6 that's still a helluva deal but I want it all. :P

Gosh, a page or so back reminded me that Sword of the Stars 2 is a crime against humanity.
I forgot how salty I am.
It is a magnificent primer in how many ways a dev team can fuck up 4x mechanics, though. Like, what could go wrong? That. All of that. Every bit of it.
so I am thinking Pixies should be something terrible cute and adorable, and HiT BiT should be a Bleed avatar to taunt pixie in homage to Her Royal Pink Highness.

I was gonna do that humble monthly sub because man that sounds like a good deal for Civ 6 and a pile of other stuff too. Then I saw Celeste was out (thanks for the headsup koops) and I remembered all those times how much I wanted a single player game from Matt Makes Games after any session of Towerfall ever. Because the platforming in that game is just so good, it's a joy just to move around those single screen stages. I haven't been following Celeste but I already know this is a thing I want.

Huh, just realized that when my brother-in-law gifted me Shadow of War last month, he actually gifted me the Gold version which includes all the expansion content, including stuff yet to be released. Turns out a lot of the quest icon stuff that has higher level orcs is expansion content and I've been doing some of it.
Steamworld Dig 2 complete! Such a great game, I even went ahead and got 100% of the secrets. Haven't done that in...over a decade?
What should I play next?
Got a shortlist for us to mull over?
Hmm...let me open Steam. How about...
Cuphead
Deus Ex: HR - DC
Flinthook
Tomb Raider (2016)
War for the Overworld
I am throwing a vote at Flinthook. I loved the shit out of that game. It was well designed but just the general feel of it was amazing, and made me happy to play.
It can be a bit on the hard side though. Prolly no more than Cuphead however.
Looks like I was late, but that it wasn't all that close anyway.

Oh nice! Hopefully I won't forget to download this when I get home from work.
This year is starting really, really well for indie games.
Also, Pillars of Eternity II is coming out 3th April.
