Hi Steam thread! I have missed you all.
After 4 long weeks I am finally back home!
I am still on treatment with painkillers and I will need to go back to the hospital on a daily basis to continue the physiotherapy treatment (for at least a whole month) to regain full mobility of my arm. Still, meanwhile the pain in now manageable and does not force me to curl in bed 24/7.
Thank you very much for all the love and support messages I have been receiving these days here in the forums and Steam. I am sorry if I could not answer you at that moment but you can be sure that they all reached me (thanks to @Shatania who kept track of all of them; she was my assistant to my digital life during these days).
As you can see I am not still in my best so I am sorry if that means I will be mostly lurking around for a while with less funny pictures and bundle and free game linking in my posts.

I'm glad you're alive dude. I was really worried about you for a bit there.
I just realised that the $6 off $35 (CAD) thing means I can pick up SW: Squadrons for $49, or Fallen Order for $34. Given my desktop maybe, possibly returns to me in a couple of weeks, this has made me unreasonably excited. Vacillating over which way to go though. Anyone got any direct Fallen Order experience, or Squadrons hype? I'm leaning toward FO, mostly because Squadrons will come out a couple of weeks after the baby is due, and I doubt I'll have time for it. But...but...Star Wars Space Game!
I may or may not have been leaving similar messages in gift messages to @Heatwave since January 2019. I'd say it is not my fault he is so slow to watch a show.
To distract me he gave me this Homeworld prequel. I was a little worried when they announced this title back then but it seems they made a really good game. Thanks a lot Heatwave.
Thanks to @Orivon for way too many games.
This is what came up searching "too much good stuff" and it's probably a unfortunately accurate depiction of my post virus lockdown/work from home transformation.

Someone mentioned in chat about having 'State of Decay: YOSE' in there inventory which reminded me that i also have a copy of it... so, if anyone wants to give it a spin, shoot me a pm.
Many thanks, @Heroth! @Pixelated Pixie's stories have been extremely inspiring; hopefully I can follow in her zombie-killing footsteps by learning the ropes in the original game.

I really enjoyed fallen order. I went into it with fairly low expectations but ended up being pleasantly surprised with the story. It is not a perfect game (I think the level design is atrocious -- none of their set pieces are even approaching believable spaces), but the game was a ton of fun to actually play.
Cyberpunk just sitting in the games list, taunting us.
I claim Dragonfall is the most cyberpunk of the Shadowruns. But 90 of my friends already own it, so it's not great for gifting.
I've been playing dragonfall and tbh, I've been a bit disappointed. It's pretty linear, with the skill checks pretty much just giving you a loot drop or skipping a fight.
And it had a really annoying habit of starting a fight right after you open a door or finish talking, with the enemy moving first and getting a chance to shoot at you before you can get to cover
Shame the Euroshield isn't as good as it used to be. @Madican rubs it in some more. Empyrion looks like a game that can waste quite a bit of time. Thank you

Many, thanks Heroth! Pixelated Pixie's stories have been extremely inspiring; hopefully I can follow in her zombie-killing footsteps by learning the ropes in the original game.
I did not equate that Pixie's stories are from the sequel to this game that people are giving away. On one hand I'd love to get a copy, but zombies still scare me for some reason. Not as bad as ghosts, but still scary to me. I can barely play Resident Evil games (I haven't finished one since #3).

The zombies, at least in the first one, are generally more of an annoyance. It's the freaks that really complicate things.
This and the general joy around the thread (you lot are some seriously classy people) has brought a smile to my face in a hellishly difficult time IRL.
Real life spoiler: warning, this is rough
My mum, who some of you may recall was diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year, has taken a huge downturn in her health. She's still at home, with me as the primary carer, but with hospice carers in multiple times a day; and as of last night, an overnight carer a couple of times a week too so I can at least try to get some sleep. (We're at the point where it's serious enough that the pandemic is just a risk we have to take.) Despite being on morphine, now switched to oxycodone, she's still in a lot of pain, but the doctors and nurses don't actually know if it's the cancer or something else; we're awaiting an appointment for a scan to try and find out.
But the short version is, as painful as it is to type, she's most likely dying. And I'm watching it happen in real time; and despite immensely powerful medication, and a team of truly amazing medical professionals who I can't praise enough, can't even keep her out of pain.
I love you guys. And, if you can (which I know is difficult for many at the moment), please go and hug someone you love.
Mum update:
Her pain is being managed a bit better now, I think. Still not ideal, but better. I doubt the scan will go ahead, it seems almost academic at this point. It's just a case of keeping her as comfortable as possible... and a case of when now.

Thanks guys. Sorry to be punctuating such an awesome Dale thread with bad tidings, but... you know. Thank you all for letting me vent. And for all this other stuff going on that's still making me smile and wear out the awesome button.

Dude, seriously. I really wish I could do something other that just saying I'm sorry to hear this. At least she gets to be with someone she loves at the end. I know it isn't much, but please do know that you're not alone. Good people leaving before we think they should always sucks.

It's okay, I've got kinemortophobia, I can't partake in any zombie media without having nightmares (of mainly being devoured while still alive) for a solid week.

I'm mostly just extremely tired of them, the whole genre. But I'm also grimly aware that zombie apocalypses will keep being a thing until we either get the actual kind, that we don't let ourselves think about or look directly at, or things get a lot better and we stop being afraid one is on the way.

I want to thank @Viking for hooking me up with Titanfall 2, because if there is one thing I love on this planet it's giant stompy robots smashing/shooting the hell out of other giant stompy robots.
I can't wait for the day when mechs are so affordable that we can all take them to and from work or the grocery store or whatever.

Wait, I hide from the Steam thread for a while and of all places you have Soul Calibur 2 going on here and I missed it?
I spent so many years deeply involved with that game, I fucking love it so much.
I am also so watching these immediately and wishing I had the chance to be involved
(please do this again sometime)
