The [itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality] has a lot of games in it

Yup!
Steam | XBL
It would appear so!
Won't stop
Eye of Ra- simple enough game but the atmosphere is so lonely and perfect. I love how disconnected you feel from even what you're doing.
From Orbit- it's okay. There's no real depth to the game at all but it's fun for a bit.
Kids- I need to go lie down now, I'm weirded out.
It was certainly a series of things that I clicked on and looked at
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.

Man, there are so many games in this bundle that there are two where you're caught in a time loop, and two where you play as a cat in a space suit. I would have thought those categories were pretty specific but I guess when you have this many games in one place there's bound to be some overlap.
There's only < 80 minutes left.
Buy it as a gift with your own email address. There's a unique url in the email that you can then hand out at your leisure which gives you access to the bundle
I'm probably around the halfway point as I'm guessing it's a total of 4 worlds to go through and I'm at the early bit of the 3rd.

Playing Fossil Hunters in the meantime and dang if it isn't great just mindlessly digging up and connecting dinosaur bones.
Parrying becomes a big deal starting from world 2. The spiders especially are a pain unless you reflect their web spit back at them for slow effects and go faster if you reflect their poison spit back too. As a rule you need to use each ability you have as there are also some enemies that can hit you from behind and therefore can't parry too.

Okay.
Seriously.
For Seriouslies.
Play this damn game. Gladiabots. Do not be intimidated by what it is, the tutorial is very kind in stepping you through, and the challenges are stepped at such a perfect pace that you will find yourself up all night long re-writing your AI's and reorganizing sub-routines and watching the AI go to work.
Every match in single-player has you watch one or more of your bots do something stupid, see one of the opponent's bots do something smart, and then ask yourself, "How do I do that smart thing as well, but also keep the smart things I've come up with thus far?" Last night I was on a goddamn high, watching my shotgun bot figure out how to dance around the battlefield until it got close enough to a lone bot in the back carrying the McGuffin to its base, assassinated it, then zipped over to the enemy sniper bot and assassinated it as well.

This one isn't quite as crazy as the itch.io one; more pricey and less items, but the games seem to be a bit more mainstream, and, to be blunt, generally of better quality. Of particular interest to me:
And in the category of "Only not of interest because I already own them":
I'm considering making this a generic thread for game bundles, or we can just let it die once people are done discussing the games in the itch bundle. Thoughts?
That wouldn't be a bad idea, right now they tend to get sprinkled around random threads.
At the very least, it's a good thread for any bundles also giving to charity for this reason.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass - Earthbound style RPG with some fun dark elements.
The Hex - six video game protagonists find themselves in a spooky inn. Its not spoiling too much to say that gameplay-wise you'll be trying lots of different stuff here, but beyond that this is best unspoiled
Glittermitten Grove - keep playing past the first half hour even if you hate the game initially, tip: dig deep.
Bleed 2 - gunstar heroes crossed with katana zero.
Death and Taxes, you are a grim reaper in an office, you choose who lives and dies according to quotas. Your choices may have repurcussions.
There's a lot of amazing-looking stuff in the bundle. One I'm interested in trying out, but know I'll probably not end up enjoying, is I Have Low Stats But My Class Is "Leader", So I Recruited Everyone I Know To Fight The Dark Lord which is an RPG where you have a party of 99 characters, so there's a lot of setup involved. Hilarious idea.
One game I won't play in the bundle because I've already played through it in Steam is Runner3. This is absolutely worth playing if you haven't played it, though. It's a stage-based 2D runner game with obstacles set to the rhythm of the music. Also, it has Charles Martinet as himself as the game's narrator. I highly recommend it!
I was pretty interested in Lizzi Crossing since it's Picross-meets-Minesweeper, but it feels like it could use a little more polish.
I haven't really tried much beyond that.
Lots of great stuff in that Humble bundle, but I own at least 25 of the games in there. Two of my favorites are Spelunky and FTL.

That's exactly what I want, but for the life of me I can't get that add-on to work. I got the tauqua version, not the ertego one, and itch.io shows up in my list, I logged in and it's even connected some of the time, but there are just "No results" under that bookmark no matter how many times I disconnect, reconnect or restart.
Yeah, that's the one I have. For me, though, I get most of my games in my list, plus a bunch of "Unknown Games". The install instructions were missing a step for me: I had to create a folder to extract the addon into. But like I said, it only worked for a while, then it loses the connection. It keeps whatever games it already detected on there, but won't add any more. Hopefully the addon creator can fix it.

Anybody know if there's any other "true" roguelikes than Midboss in the bundle? I tried that one and it was fairly bland and uninteresting once you figure out the possession mechanics,
There's haque and a bunch of others
https://randombundlegame.com/browse?tags=Roguelike will get you a few more (there's a bunch of not actual roguelikes in there)
