    Thank you @Questor for the Strange Brigade key from this month's humble choice! @Karoz and @Ed Gruberman we gonna get strange now!

    You're in for a good time. The Strange Brigade narrator is fantastic, and the magic powers are a lot of fun!

    EDIT: Specifically, I like playing as Professor Archimedes de Quincy quite a bit. His default magic power wrecks guys, and it's a homing attack (important for me since I suck at aiming).

    If any of you have Master Chief Collection on Steam/PC, ODST just got released. Probably my favorite Halo game <3 Amazing soundtrack, a cool narrative where you piece together what happened, a ruined city to explore, and also one of the best sub-stories I've seen in a video game with the whole Sadie's Story thing.

    Too bad the PC Gamepass version is poop for me. It will only install Halo 3 and Reach but says I need to download the the DLC for the other games and fails to do so.

    Windows 10 Store is awful and is prob the main reason I don't use GamePass.

    Not to mention the news this week that Gears Tactics isn't cross save with Steam.

    I use the Xbox app for GamePass. It's much easier to work with then the Windows store.

    Fun fact: if you have just a PC Gamepass sub, you can extend it up to (I think) 2 years at $5/mo buy clicking through some links related to recurring billing.

    It's not taking advantage of a glitch, you're staying inside the Gamepass system and incrementally extending your sub instead of adding a recurring payment method.

    I've tried installing from both and it gives me the same problem either way. It also won't install on my secondary hdd no matter what I try. I even called Microsoft support and they told me to just install it on my C drive and then move it but that meant I had to free up half of my 240 gigabyte SSD. Even after that it would only do Halo 3 and Reach.

    there's also the deal where you can take up to 3 years worth of live gold and convert it to gamepass ultimate for a dollar. I got two years from Costco for $95 and now I've got the pass ultimate that I don't have to pay for until November 2022.

    I don't think it's valid any more now that the price increased.

    I signed up for Gamepass a few weeks ago and it looks like I'm locked in at the $5 a month level, and I don't recall doing anything more than signing up? But that's for a PC-only subscription, so maybe you guys are talking about something else?

    I think the price goes up after October. Mine shows $4.99 to be billed in October and expect it to go up after this.

    I'm also curious about this other way of making the annual pass cheaper.

    IMHO the Gold->Gamepass Ultimate conversation is a better deal. It give you game pass on PC, Xbox and Cloud for the same price (if you find a deal on gold or even cheaper). You can do up to 3 years.

    Let it be known that @Isorn is SICK.

    Was sat watching Bake Off with my fiancee when suddenly a gift notification pops up.

    "Oh interesting i wonder what this is?"
    Oh. Oh no.

    It's a flippin' anime porn game.

    Partner turns to me like "what the hell is that?" and I had to explain.

    Thanks for Efflorescence of Lust I GUESS.

    I've been sitting on considering spending one whole dollar on game pass ultimate for a month but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Now you've got me considering a year of gold first.

    Also, I started playing Temetsi today and holy shit am I ever bad at it. Absolutely wonderful game, but I definitely need more practice at it.

    Also blew through the first 2 campaigns in Sid Meier's Ace Patrol. Tactics dogfighting is way more fun than it has any right to be.

    Supergiant and Team Cherry are absolutely my favourite developers.
    If you haven't watched the noclip documentary series about the making of Hades, I HIGHLY recommend them.

    And @Orivon found some point-and-click games which has always been one of my favourite genres. The rest of the massive wall of gifts is for day 36. (puzzles)

    Apparently puzzles are pretty adult these days. I also seem to have ended up with the same game I sent Quical. Thank you. <3<3

    That's a lot of porn.

    Unrelated: The release of Hades to version 1.0 has inspired a friend and I to replay through the Supergiant back catalogue, starting with Bastion. We'll be starting tomorrow night (Aus time) if anyone would like to also play through and join us for a look back at some great games.
