    Thank you for Ticket to Ride @Sumanai ! I have a group of co-workers and we play some games during lunch every week and I want to try and see if this will work for us.

    Alright it turns out that F1 2015 was the one that was free, which is good, because F1 2011 (how do I own this?) doesn't actually work in multiplayer and won't even launch unless you remove the GFWL files included in the install and replace them with a hacked version.

    But F1 2015 is pretty rad, does anyone want to play some multiplayer at some point? A Steam Thread rally would be great.

    Forgot to add that I also have an inventory gift copy of Contraption Maker up for grabs. If you remember the Incredible Machine games from 20+ years ago, it's from the same creators. Again, just shoot me a PM and it's yours.

    Some of these are really old, so I'm only 90% sure that the keys are still valid meaning it's possible that a few of them are already redeemed/expired and I apologize in advance if some of them are invalid.

    If you see anything that looks interesting, either for yourself, a friend or a loved one, feel free to just send me a PM with the name of the game(s) and I'll hook you up.
    Please take these away from me, Steam thread denizens!

    Oh my God. I never knew this game existed!!! I loved TIM when I was a kid and had to rebuy them all from GoG long ago. While I was playing them I wished someone would bring out an updated version. Guess I should have payed attention to the gaming world more when this launched.

    I'm in. A group would be ideal, and a bunch of people should have it due to it being free... hint hint, guys :wink:

    Sounds like a good FNG idea, actually. I'd just request an earlier than normal start time if at all possible for UK folks (if there's anyone except me) to get in on it.

    Humble, for a couple of days, and those keys expired after a couple of weeks.

    I don't know if anyone might still have a non-expiring key from the full-on F1 bundle they did late last year. I gave my 2015 key to someone back then, I'm afraid.

    At this point it's really not worth that, even for Steam thread multi shenanigans. Might as well just buy 2017, or even 2016, both of which are significantly superior games.

    Although in this scenario that defeats the point.

    I thought that Steam had put prohibitions on things like this, but there's one of those fanservice-y visual novels that just came out that has over 1800 achievements in it.

    They wanted to start cracking down more on the games that were clearly not games in any real capacity. Some of those achievement games were literally nothing but a constant flood fo achievements. I thought hey had capped the total number a game could have, but they might have just been considering it. If the VN game is an actual VN that's probably why it's escaped the reaping.

    One of the two reviews up for the game says you can beat it in like 15 minutes.

    After 7h of Frostpunk, I can say this:

    Playing this game stresses me out.

    There is not a moment of rest, every minute is a fight for survival, and every crisis can wipe your city out.

    I am propably going to be crying when I inevitably lose, but right now, my people are alive and that's whats important.

    Which is more likely in 2018, a furry battle royal game getting announced or a star wars battle royal game getting announced?

    Star Ways battle royale seems like it would be more of a DLC for Battlefront.

    Furry battle royale game would likely come from an indie studio that hopefully has enough experience writing netcode.

    Space opera themed furry battle royale game is also possible.

    I was thinking star wars with all those criminal factions, and a few bad clones, all dropped somewhere for the hutts' entertainment

    Furry battle royal gets interesting when you start questioning what sort of target profiles you want. Mass = weight limit and mobility ala brink

    I played Conan this weekend.

    The weekend went by entirely too fast.

    I <3 this game. Latest patch only made it 10x more great. Its previously weakest point (the horrible janky weird combat) was completely redone and is now super enjoyable.

    It's so good that it made me forget to play ESO. During a double-XP event. Oops.

    I'll have to try Conan again. I played for quite a bit but got really turned off by the combat jank, and I gave up altogether when they introduced the "running sheaths your weapon" bit of design brilliance. It's like... a game I really want to like, but it really seemed like the devs were doing everything in their power to make me not like it.
