#Steam Winter Sale 2017

[meggolorbuggolor]

When I first got into Hollow Knight, I was just so excited to finally be playing it. I first heard about it in 2017 or 2018 on the big Kirby Discord server, my brother got it on his Switch at some point I can't remember, I was a little curious about it and then I kinda just... forgot about it for a while. I'm pretty sure what I'd heard about the game's difficulty turned me off of it initially, so I just buried it for a few years.

Then in 2021, I finally got a Steam account for Deltarune. A few months later, the winter sale was going on so I bought a bunch of cheap games. Hollow Knight was only like $7.49 so I got it. I remembered hearing about it, so I was pretty excited to start playing it after I finished OneShot and Slime Rancher.

I don't remember immediately falling in love with Hollow Knight like I did with Kirby, but the game REALLY clicked with me when I got to City of Tears. The aesthetic, the environments... they were all just so lovely. Even though I was having a lot of trouble with the game, I still thought it was pretty fun. I wanted to see more and learn more. I wanted desperately to become better at the game so I could do as much as I wanted. Ultimately, I got all of the achievements-I'm pretty sure it was the first game I ever bothered to get all of the listed achievements in. It was the most fun I've had with a game probably since I was a kid playing Pokemon.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!!! giving some recommendations back!! everything is like, online or computer based because i can't think of anything irl! Also! i tried to find things that are free, because everything costs money now and it sucks so free resources are always good :)

Does The Dog Die? (Totally free, donation optional) A crowdsourced database of content/trigger warnings for film, tv, books, comic and just general media and entertainment. It gives a yes/no for triggers as rated by users, and lets users add comments describing what exactly happens so that you can fully understand why it might be triggering. It covers a lot of stuff, from really common triggers like abuse, to more specific triggers like misrepresentation of autism or specific injuries (like i really hate teeth stuff, and this site gives me a heads-up of if anything happens, and how I'll know it's coming up). Everybody deserves to enjoy films, triggers and sensitivities shouldn't get in the way of that. https://www.doesthedogdie.com/

JustWatch (Totally free, Ad supported) A database of where films and television shows are available to stream/purchase online. It's also built into letterboxd, which i'm not gonna put on the list cause it's already fairly well known, but letterboxd is super useful for building watchlists and keeping track of what films you've seen!! Anyway, JustWatch will show you every location a film is streaming, if it's free, and you can change location to see if you can get it anywhere when you are definetly on holiday and not changing your location any other way :)

SIGNALIS (Normally £16, £11 in steam winter sale) Play signalist please oh my god. An incredible survival horror with PSX visuals and gameplay inspired by Silent Hill and Resident Evil. It has a genuinely touching and devestating story about love and loss, and visuals inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion (Especially the last 2 episodes), Ghost in the Shell and every other good sci-fi anime to exist. It's got the depressing hopelessness of Evangelion plus the Exestential horror of lovecraft and a dash of doomed lesbian robot angst to top it all off. (And just a tip, the end is not always the end. Even when it really, really feels like it is)

This specific SilvaGunner rip (Totally free)It's a mash-up of Everything is Going to be Okay from Prey (2017) and Fresh Static Snow by Porter Robinson and when you listen to it it really does feel like everything is going to be okay.

Prey (2017) (Normally £25, currently £2.50) I talk about Dishonored a lot but I'm just as obsessed with Prey. It's just that posting almost anything about Prey is spoiling Prey, and I think it's better to go in blind. I love that game with my whole heart. I could say so much about this game but I don't wanna spoil it so I'll leave it at that.

In fact fuck it, every Arkane game (Normally £200+, currently £33) they're all on sale on steam till Jan 4th. You can buy almost every arkane game ever made in a bundle for less than £10 atm. Dishonored and all it's DLC, Dishonored 2, Prey, Dishonored: Death of the outsider, Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah are in the Arkane 20th Anniversary collection which is currently £8.26. Deathloop is £10 and Redfall is £15. You can buy every Arkane game for £33 at the moment which is genuinely ridiculous. It'd normally be like £200!!! if you've been thinking about trying any of them, now is the time!! :)

Dither Me This (Totally free, donation optional) This website just dithers images for you, which makes them look really cool and also means they take up far less space. So if you wanna run an old tech style blog, you can make all your images look the same way they'd be displayed on an Apple II computer or a commodore 64. v cool little site! https://doodad.dev/dither-me-this/

MyNoise (Totally free, donation optional) You wanna generate noise? this website is for you! what type of noise? well there's the usual rain, white noise, oceans, brown noise, distant thunder stuff. But also! Cafe noise, forest noise, dungeon noise, tavern noise, oblivion?, spooky ghost singing??, exam hall noises??? literally any soundscape you can think of, bam there's something for it on there. And best of all? it's customisable! here are sliders to change the elements each soundscape is made of. So if your dungeon is a little too much water dripping and not enough clanking chains, well you can just move those sliders till you're happy with it, for literally every pre-set soundscape on the site. None of the pre-sets match what you're looking for? well, make your own! you can copy the sliders from other soundscapes and add them to your own composite soundscape to create a new soundscape. It's a little complicated and can only be done on desktop, not their app, but it's great!! Does your medieval tavern need more whimsical siren song, sorted. Your peaceful beach needs some bird song? easy. It's really great. Some stuff is paywalled, but honestly in my entire time using the site I've never been blocked from anything, it's only things like guided meditation and downloads that are blocked. If I used it more often I'd absolutely donate to their Patreon tbh. You can't use these soundscapes in creative stuff without permission because copyright and human decency obv, but they're excellent for writing/reading atmosphere or for ttrpg stuff!! and if you're a patron you can get them to send you an mp3 version of any soundscape, including your custom ones :)

merry christmas and happy holidays again!! I hope some of this is useful or interesting :) honoured to be part of your tradition this year!! I said in the comments already but there's definitely stuff in there that I'm gonna find super interesting!! especially the doc and the comic, they definitely seem like my thing :D

No obligation to also add things, but there's a couple things I think you guys would find useful/interesting in both posts so I'm tagging you!! @adammonoscore the sound generator especially might be useful for ttrpg stuff, @brittleboneless and @sevententv the £200 of games for £30 might be of interest to you, @exoticotter @hamtv12 and @crunchysaladx the dithering tool and art doc might be of interest to you!! (i haven't watched it yet though so i can't say exactly why other than it's art) also!! @idkhbutillendupranting i’m tagging you because i think you’d find a couple of things interesting, the yo ho ho suggestions, gaming and just general holiday vibes i wanted to tag you for

i wanna hear your recommendations!

a list with some stuff i like + a request for you to share yours :)

as a godless queer who spawned on earth randomly one time, my only holiday-season tradition is charity + passionately enjoying things. in lieu of passing my followers & mutuals $100 cash, have a random variety of things you might like to try - i know we're an international bunch so your mileage may vary on what you can access. in the spirit of giving i am hoping for some recs 🎁♥

disclaimer these are just things i like i am not paid. would be great. but.

yo ho ho if you read comics & manga but always found it to be a pain in the ass to source online, here's the aggregator app of your dreams: tachiyomiJ2K. real. not clickbait. android only tho. the extensions mangacute, mangadex, allanime, and mangareader, are good places to start. as a creator, i'm always iffy about recommending this kind of thing because i'd much prefer you went out and brought the things you're reading, however i'm not under any illusions about which era we're in, media-wise and economy-wise

gemma! - webcomic what if corvo was a woman and young emily was a dragon and they went on adventures in a fun fantasy/adventure way that is Extremely Gender. pictured: gender. god i want to be her > is this the greatest webcomic of all time? no. is it that sweet spot between 'mindless fun' and 'good'? yes. you get me

laksa noodles the more intl friends i have the more i realise that laksa isn't common everywhere. don't let that stop you from trying it. ultimate comfort food. hearty noodly soupy goodness. worth seeking out fr

ways of seeing - mini-documentary so profoundly changed the way i think that i had been wanting to revisit it and so was delighted to find its all on youtube. if you're an artist or want to improve your ability to critically think about what you're seeing in media, this is a must-see. link or embedded>

FUCKING GOOD AND CHEAP GREEN TEA price comment won't apply to everyone this site offers great prices for high quality tea direct from the farm. been buying from here for years and its always amazing - i love the houjicha/roast green tea, and if you like green tea but always wish it was stronger without sacrificing taste or becoming bitter, i recommend genmaicha matcha-iri, which uses matcha to intensify the flavour. yum

incense body powder being a perfume nerd who is prone to migraines sucks. if you like spices and good incense - not the $2 kind that you use to hide cigs from your parents but rather the kind that smells like wandering into a forest temple - you'll love incense body powder. it lasts well and i'd most compare it to a softer, more gourmand comme des garçons Incense series 3 kyoto. shoyeido is the easiest to source as far as i can tell, but other brands make it too. USD$11 - cheaper than even cheap perfumes tbh - the bag will last you years. if you try this please tell me i'd love to know what you think!

anyway!! i wanna hear your recs if you have any! can be any type of thing that has recently improved your mood or changed your life or you think someone else might like?

anyone reading can go for it, consider this a carte blanche for recommendations. gonna tag a few people - you don't have to of course thank you love you <;3 @lapinneok @dangerousdan-dan @arosebyothernames @headcrabrave @corvidad @neznoodles @retired-crow @corpseprince @i-really-hate-creating-usernames @geminison @fakeshibe @skemford @loveofdetail + please feel welcome if not tagged! edit OH @nekon-ron i tried to tag your old URL. ha

“Breakside is honored to be partnering once again with Zupan’s Markets on their Farm-to-Market series.” said Breakside’s VP of Sales and Marketing E.K. MacColl. “This beer is balanced, satiating and rich and is a great style to mark the end of winter and coming of spring.”

Farm to Market Beer Profile: ABV 5.7%, IBU 17 Malts: Munich, Vienna, Caramunich Hops: Mittelfruh, Hersbrucker Tasting Notes: Caramel, smooth, fresh baked bread

Food Pairing Notes: Milk-braised pork shoulder with cabbage steamed in lemon butter. Pasta shells in smoked onion and turnip cream sauce. Honey-roasted radishes and radish tops with garlic and merguez sausage.

Winter Sale 2019 - Co kupiłam? Co warto kupić?

Cześć!

Winter Sale rozpoczął się dziewiętnastego grudnia bieżącego roku. Sporo osób już zdążyło zakupić to co chciało, inni jeszcze zastanawiają się co kupić a jeszcze inni chcą mieć pewność, że na pewno nie przegapią żadnej dobrej oferty i zrobią zapasy gier na kolejny rok (lub do kolejnej wielkiej wyprzedaży). A Ty kupiłeś już wszystko co chciałeś? Czy może szukasz godnej uwagi pozycji w dobrej cenie do zakupienia? W tym wpisie opowiem krótko o tym co ja kupiłam i zaprezentuję parę gier wartych zakupu w atrakcyjnej cenie. 

I. Moje zakupy. 

W tym roku poszalałam na Winter Sale. Wydałam sporą ilość pieniędzy, ale z przyzwoitości nie podam dokładnej sumy; jeśli ktoś jest bardzo ciekawski może sam to podliczyć. Jednak Winter Sale jest dla mnie dość szczególną wyprzedażą i zawsze wydaje na nim najwięcej; kupuję wtedy duże tytuły i parę indyków na cały rok. Z innych, dużych promocji również korzystam, ale wydaje na nich zdecydowanie mniej (tylko uzupełniam zapasy). Moje zakupy na tegorocznym Winter sale prezentują się następująco: 

1. Resident Evil 2

https://store.steampowered.com/app/883710/RESIDENT_EVIL_2__BIOHAZARD_RE2/

Tej gry chyba nie muszę Ci przedstawiać bo z pewnością ją znasz. Totalny hit tego roku i jedna z nominacji do gry roku na Game Awards. Nie ukrywam, że wielką fanką Residenta Evila nie jestem, według mnie seria miała zbyt wiele potknięć. Mimo wszystko przy siódmej części gry bawiłam się miodnie i była ona jednym z moich prywatnych kandydatów do gry roku 2017; dlatego też zaufałam twórcom i zdecydowałam się na zakup remake Residenta Evila 2... i mam nadzieję, że tego zakupu nie pożałuję. 

2. Life Is Strange 2

https://store.steampowered.com/app/532210/Life_is_Strange_2/

Bardzo niespodziewany zakup, który zrobiłam od niechcenia. Po tym jak wielkim zawodem była dla mnie pierwsza część Life Is Strange myślałam, że część drugą sobie odpuszczę; całe szczęście tego nie zrobiłam. Grę już ograłam i powoli przygotowuje dość długi tekst na jej temat. Zakupu nie żałuję i uważam, że był jednym z lepszych na tej wyprzedaży. 

3. Layers Of Fear 2 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1029890/Layers_of_Fear_2/

Jestem ogromną fanką pierwszej części Layers of Fear dlatego niecierpliwie czekałam na to aż w końcu będę mogła pozwolić sobie na zakup drugiej części. Przydarzyła się okazja to i bez zastanowienia zaopatrzyłam się w mój egzemplarz Layers of Fear 2; jak na ten moment zakupu nie żałuję, ale zobaczę jak będę do tego podchodzić już po przerobieniu gry.  

4.  Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments

https://store.steampowered.com/app/241260/Sherlock_Holmes_Crimes_and_Punishments/

Gra o Sherlocku chodziła za mną już od 2015 roku. Co większą promocję na steamie miałam zaopatrzyć się w tę grę, ale zawsze albo mi umykała albo odpuszczałam zakup. Teraz udało mi się kupić swój egzemplarz tej gry i mam nadzieję, że te “lata wyczekiwania” na Sherlocka nie pójdą na mare. 

5. Stardew Valley 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/413150/Stardew_Valley/

Stardew Valley kupiłam tylko i wyłącznie ze względu na to, że będę mogła pograć w tę grę w trybie kooperacji. Jednak nie ukrywam, że jeśli gra bardziej mi się spodoba to prawdopodobnie spędzę na niej długie godziny w samotnej rozgrywce. 

6. Dead In Vinland

https://store.steampowered.com/app/573120/Dead_In_Vinland/

Ach, jak ja bardzo kocham wszelkiego rodzaju teksty kultury dotyczące wikingów i innych rzeczy pokrewnych temu tematowi. Dead In Vinland nie mogło zabraknąć w mojej bibliotece gier. Mam nadzieję, że tytuł ten mnie nie zawiedzie i spędzimy razem przyjemne, długie godziny. 

7. Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince

https://store.steampowered.com/app/690640/Trine_4_The_Nightmare_Prince/

Jestem fanką Trine dlatego też na premierę czwartej części gry wyczekiwałam z niecierpliwością i z nadzieją, że tytuł ten będzie dobry i nie zaliczy takiej wpadki jak trzecia część. Czwarta, najnowsza część uzbierała pozytywne recenzje więc zdecydowałam, że nie będę czekać na większą promocję i zakupię swoją kopię tej gry już teraz. Nie mogę się doczekać momentu w którym będę mogła pograć w tę grę. 

8. L.A. Noire wraz z dodatkiem. 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/110800/LA_Noire/

Uwielbiam klimaty detektywistyczne i kryminalistyczne dlatego prędzej czy później musiałam zaopatrzyć się w swój egzemplarz L.A Noire. Na temat gry słyszałam różne opinie. Jednak nie samymi opiniami żyje człowiek; sprawdzę czy gra jest warta poświęcenia jej swojego czasu. Mam nadzieję, że L.A Noire mnie nie zawiedzie. 

9. Lust for Darkness

https://store.steampowered.com/app/523650/Lust_for_Darkness/

Lust for Darkness bardzo intensywnie chodziło za mną od około maja bieżącego roku. Na każdej promocji tej gry miałam w głowie myśl “dobra, teraz to kupię”, ale jednak zawsze sobie odpuszczałam. Kupiłam ją jako dodatek do moich wielkich zakupów a przy dodawaniu jej do koszyka miałam w głowie myśl “to tylko siedem złotych, nie mam nic do stracenia”. Nie liczę na wybitne dzieło, ale mam nadzieję, że ja i Lust for Darkness się polubimy i spędzimy razem miłe kilka godzin. 

10. A Plague Tale: Innocence

https://store.steampowered.com/app/752590/A_Plague_Tale_Innocence/

Z niecierpliwością czekałam na premierę tej gry, pierwsze recenzje i opinie. Bardzo cieszyłam się, że gra nie okazała się klapą, a wręcz przeciwnie, okazała się czymś czym wiele osób się zachwyciło. Zanim dokonałam zakupu miałam w głowie fakt tego, że gra kosztuje prawie sto złotych i nie byłam pewna czy naprawdę chcę ją teraz kupować, ale ostatecznie podarowałam ją sobie jako prezent na święta. 

11. The Long Dark

https://store.steampowered.com/app/305620/The_Long_Dark/

Ja i The Long Dark mamy za sobą burzliwą przeszłość. Kupiłam kiedyś kod do tej gry na G2A czego bardzo szybko pożałowałam bo gra została usunięta z mojego konta steam. Zwrot pieniędzy oczywiście dostałam, ale mimo wszystko niesmak pozostał. Jednak stwierdziłam, że jest to gra zbyt dobra żeby tak długo się na nią obrażać lub w ogóle w nią nie zagrać. The Long Dark zawitało ponownie w mojej bibliotece z czego ogromnie się cieszę. 

12.  Agent A: A puzzle in disguise

https://store.steampowered.com/app/801480/Agent_A_A_puzzle_in_disguise/

Uwielbiam gry indie; w tym całym badnie na steamie można nieraz wygrzebać prawdziwe perełki i mam nadzieję, że taką perełką okaże się Agent A. Całokształt tego tytułu prezentuje się obiecująco - ciekawy i oryginalny styl graficzny, prosta acz intrygująca fabuła no i jest to gra logiczna, czego chcieć więcej? Mam nadzieję, że tytuł po ograniu przypadnie mi do gustu. 

13(1). Endless Fables 4: Shadow Within

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1129030/Endless_Fables_4_Shadow_Within/

14(2). Uncharted Tides: Port Royal

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1113780/Uncharted_Tides_Port_Royal/

15(3). Demon Hunter 5: Ascendance

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1020270/Demon_Hunter_5_Ascendance/

16(4).The Myth Seekers 2: The Sunken City

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1055310/The_Myth_Seekers_2_The_Sunken_City/

17(5).Queen's Quest 5: Symphony of Death

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1089660/Queens_Quest_5_Symphony_of_Death/

Powyższe pięć tytułów opiszę w jednym punkcie a to dlatego bo pochodzą od jednego wydawcy, są w podobnym klimacie a rozgrywkę mają praktycznie taką samą. 

Od 2015 roku jestem fanką gier studia Artifex Mundi. Staram się na bieżąco kupować wszystkie ich tytuły i powoli je ogrywać. Nie są to gry wybitne, nie rewolucjonizują świata gier, ale mimo wszystko są to gry przyjemne, które polecam każdemu. Można traktować je jako przerywniki między większymi grami, można podchodzić do nich jako do przyjemnego klikera na odstresowanie lub można w ogóle ich nie lubić i uważać za stratę pieniędzy i czasu. Ja jednak jestem w nich totalnie zauroczona i aktualnie nie wyobrażam sobie mojej biblioteki bez tych gier. Naprawdę bardzo polecam je każdej osobie otwartej na nowe, mniej znane gry. Myślę, że zrobię kiedyś podsumowanie wszystkich serii gier i pojedynczych tytułów ze stajni Artifexu by pokazać, które z ich gier są warte uwagi a które niekoniecznie. 

II. Co warto kupić?  

Po pierwsze, polecam zapoznanie się z moim postem na temat dziesięciu gier, które są mało znane a zasługują na uwagę. Tylko cztery gry z tego rankingu przekraczają próg dwudziestu złotych {Draugen, OneShot, Last Day of June i Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator(ta gra w ogóle nie jest na promocji)}

https://falshaa.tumblr.com/post/187949646149/mało-znane-gry-które-są-warte-uwagi

1. Portal Bundle

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/234/Portal_Bundle/

Kto jeszcze nie grał w Portala niech lepiej biegnie, kupi i ogra obie części gry. Gra jest świetna, nie przesadzę gdy powiem, że jest wybitna. Tytuł ten bardzo polecam każdemu. Jest to dość ciekawa przygoda ze świetną i bardzo interesującą rozgrywką. 

2.  Half-Life Complete Pack

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/231/HalfLife_Complete/

Tutaj sytuacja ma się tak samo jak z Portalem. W Half-Life powinno się zagrać nawet z samego faktu bycia graczem. Jest to jedna z tych gier, którą prędzej czy później trzeba chociaż spróbować ograć. 

3.  Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

https://store.steampowered.com/app/973760/Thronebreaker_The_Witcher_Tales/

Moja ulubiona gra w uniwersum Wiedźmina. Jeżeli jesteś fanem książki tytuł ten na pewno przypadnie Ci do gustu. Jest dość oryginalny, ciekawy i bardzo wciągający. Podczas gry nawet nie zwróciłam uwagi na to jak szybko mijają mi godziny. 

4. Danganronpa*

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/3641/Absolute_Despair_Collection/

Danganronpa to gra Visual Novel; mimo to nie jest jak inne gry z tego gatunku. Jest dość długa, bardzo oryginalna i ciekawa. Tytuł ten ma swoje bolączki i nie jest idealny, ale mimo wszystko jest wart czasu i pieniędzy. Danganronpa ma na steamie trzy paczki możliwe do zakupienia; ja polecam kupić albo tą, którą wstawiłam wyżej albo tą, która zawiera dwie pierwsze części gry. Trzeciej części jeszcze nie ograłam o nie mam zbyt dużo czasu na obejrzenie anime, które dzieje się pomiędzy drugą i trzecią częścią. W paczce do której link wstawiłam wyżej jest jeszcze gra “ Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls”, którą polecam; mimo tego, że tytuł odchodzi od motywu Visual Novel i jest zupełnie czymś innym to nadal jest godzien polecenia i przejścia. 

5. Far Cry 5

https://store.steampowered.com/app/552520/Far_Cry_5/

Far Cry 5 to zdecydowanie jedna z najlepszych gier jaką przeszłam w tym roku. Mimo, że to nadal Far Cry w którym questy mogą się być dość powtarzalne to jednak uważam, że gra jest godna polecenia; a jeśli interesuje Cię tematyka kultów i sekt to bym bardziej Far Cry 5 będzie strzałem w dziesiątkę. Mimo powtarzalności gra się w ten tytuł bardzo przyjemnie dzięki dobrym mechanikom rozgrywki. 

6. Slime Rancher 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/433340/Slime_Rancher/

Slime Rancher to symulator farmy, który potrafi posadzić gracza przed komputerem na długie godziny. Rozgrywka tutaj jest prosta jak 2+2, ale mimo wszystko gra jest bardzo przyjemna. Tytuł ten może posłużyć jako swego rodzaju przerywnik przy przechodzeniu większych produkcji. 

7. Darkest Dungeon

https://store.steampowered.com/app/262060/Darkest_Dungeon/

Ta gra to czysta SZTUKA. Jedna z moich ulubionych gier w ogóle. Klimat, rozgrywka, grafika, muzyka, lektor - wszystko w tej grze stoi na bardzo, ale to bardzo wysokim poziomie. Jednak powinnam tu zaznaczyć, że gra nie jest dla każdego i może nie przypaść Ci do gustu; dlatego też jeśli jesteś zainteresowany Darkest Dungeon polecam najpierw zakupić podstawkę, pograć i zdecydować czy gra podoba Ci się na tyle żeby zakupić dodatki. 

8. Dreamfall Chapters

https://store.steampowered.com/app/237850/Dreamfall_Chapters/

Dreamfall Chapters to moim zdaniem jedna z najlepszych gier przygodowych ostatnich lat. Jest długa, piękna i intrygująca. Jeśli jesteś spragniony nowych, ciekawych historii a zmęczyły Cię już gry telltale-like zdecydowanie polecam zaopatrzenie się w Dreamfalla. Jestem w stanie zagwarantować, że tytuł ten Cię nie zawiedzie. 

9. Beholder Pack

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/3224/BehALLder/

Beholder to gra przyjemna i wciągająca. Mnie osobiście do gustu bardziej przypadła druga część w której spędziłam kilka bardzo długich sesji. Mimo wszystko pierwsza część razem z dodatkiem wcale nie jest gorsza i również jest warta polecenia. Jeśli lubisz dość niekonwencjonalną rozgrywkę polecam Ci Beholdera z całego serca. 

10.  Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

https://store.steampowered.com/app/414340/Hellblade_Senuas_Sacrifice/

Hellblade nie jest grą wybitną, ale jest wybitną historią, którą zdecydowanie warto poznać. Mimo, że rozgrywka może trochę męczyć to fabułą i klimat zawarty w tej grze nadrabiają wszelkie niedociągnięcia mechaniczne. Ps. Polecam grać z słuchawkami dla jeszcze lepszego wczucia się w klimat. 

11. My Big Sister

https://store.steampowered.com/app/733300/My_Big_Sister/

O My Bis Sister napisałam już tekst do którego Cię odsyłam. 

https://falshaa.tumblr.com/post/189290851289/recenzja-gry-my-big-sister

Według mnie warto dać to pięć złotych za taką grę. Polecam w stu procentach. 

12. Gris 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/683320/GRIS/

Piękna, artystyczna i interesująca gra przygodowo-platformowa. Jeśli jeszcze w to nie grałeś powinieneś szybko nadrobić zaległości. Gra jest warta swojej ceny i gwarantuję Ci, że jeśli zakupisz Gris to raczej się nie zawiedziesz. 

13. The Talos Principle

https://store.steampowered.com/app/257510/The_Talos_Principle/

Godny następca Portala. Mimo, że gry jeszcze nie udało mi się ukończyć polecam nie popełniać mojego błędu, zakupić ten tytuł i ograć do końca bo gra jest tego warta. Intrygująca fabuła, ciekawa rozgrywka i dobre zagadki, czego chcieć więcej? 

14. Trzy części Syberii

https://store.steampowered.com/app/46500/Syberia/

Syberia to świetna gra przygodowa, którą zdecydowanie powinna ograć każda osoba łakoma na dobre i wciągające historie. Mimo, że pierwsza i druga część mogą wydawać się archaiczne to nadal są warte zakupu i ogrania. Trzecia część mimo wielu bolączek wcale nie jest gorsza od swoich poprzedniczek. 

15. Child of Light 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/256290/Child_of_Light/

Child of Light to bajkowa gra RPG, której zdecydowanie warto dać szansę. Nie jest to tytuł zbyt popularny co bardzo mnie dziwi. Jest to dobra gra, która zaoferuje Ci kilka przyjemnych godzin rozgrywki w pięknym, bajkowym świecie. 

Posłowie. 

I to by było na tyle w dzisiejszym wpisie. Mam nadzieję, że choć jedna gra z mojej listy przypadnie Ci do gustu. Również bardzo chętnie przeczytam co Ty zakupiłeś na Winter Sale; skontaktować się zemną można poprzez prywatną wiadomość na tumblr lub w komentarzach na disqusie. 

Dziękuję za uwagę.

Right here’s what it is best to take a look at.

Should you’re searching for extra choices, you possibly can take a look at our greatest PC video games of 2017 video right here:

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) hasn’t acquired a single value minimize since its March 23, 2017 launch date on Steam, it’s unlikely to see one anytime quickly. Extra so contemplating that PUBG simply exited Steam Early Entry and is now referred to as PUBG 1.zero. Likelihood is the PUBG value of $30 (Rs. 999 in India) will keep for awhile longer.

From the Tooth to The Long Tail - What We’ve Done and Where We’re Going

Since our launch on September 12, 2017, Tooth and Tail has seen over 100,000 copies sold, a resilient competitive community, 16 major patches with bug fixes, balance changes, and feature additions, numerous award nominations, and a growing mod community.

Looking to the future, we know we have some challenges ahead of us. Our player community is still very active via our discord channel, but the active Steam/GOG player base has been trending downwards. We still have a number of major bugs on the PS4 version. And the Story Mode content is still receiving complaints about inconsistent difficulty scaling. Let's take a quick look at the story so far and then figure out where to go from here!

Dont forget, you can follow development via our public roadmap or say hi to the devs in Discord!

Here's a recap of major developments and accomplishments since launch:

Launch Day

Destructoid gives us a 9.5 - "Tooth and Tail has rekindled my love of RTS games." Eurogamer, Gamespot, PC Gamer and Hardcore Gamer pile on the praise.

Launch day September 12: Top player ZenoAkoop does a 24-hour stream

We peak at 985 simultaneous players, higher than Monaco's launch day peak

Tooth and Tail Shirts went on sale via Fan Gamer.

Season One

(WARNING, strong language in this video)

Total Biscuit and Artosis develop a rivalry, Artosis cleans up.

Our largest community tournament has 40 entrants and is won by ChipFromSpace.

Tooth and Tail launches in Chinese and Korean, and later adds Spanish, German, and Italian. Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, and Turkish are in progress.

Community members Glyde, BestTeaMaker, and Delthius show up to help us out as we demo the game at TwitchCon in Long Beach

End of Year

Let's just show off the 2017 nomination list:

2018 Independent Games Festival - Finalist: Excellence in Narrative, Honorable Mention: Visual Art, Audio IGN - Nominee: 2017 Best Strategy Game The Game Awards - Nominee: 2017 Best Strategy Game PCGamer - Nominee: 2017 Best Strategy Game PC Master Race - Nominee: 2017 Best Strategy Game Hardcore Gamer - Nominee: 2017 Best Strategy Game Total Biscuit - Top Ten Games of the Year - #8

Season Two

We launched Ranked Season 2 on December 19th with an MMR system closer to traditional Ranked ladders. Other major developments:

The Tooth and Tail Official Soundtrack launched on CD and Vinyl (also available digitally directly from Austin Wintory or on Steam

We launched GOG/Steam Crossplay, which is powering development of PS4 to PC crossplay, and hopefully more platforms to come!

We've been featured in four major Steam sales (Winter, Midweek Madness, Lunar New Year, and an IGF nominee sale), a Chrono.gg sale headlined by Total Biscuit, and one major sale on PS4 (Outside is Over-Rated), bolstering our player community. You can bet that there will be more to come!

Campfires, new tiles sets, and a revamped world generation algorithm were added to ranked and unranked play.

Story Mode was completely rebalanced to bring it in line with current multiplayer balance.

ToothAndTailTV, a fan-run channel, casts a massive North America vs Europe tournament, which culminates in a final game matchup of the titans, ChipFromSpace [NA] vs ArbuzBudesh [EU]

What's Next?

With Tooth and Tail starting to enter its "long tail" life cycle, we're taking a broad approach to keeping a healthy player community.

Crossplay We're finally moving towards combining our PS4 and PC communities via crossplay, powered by GOG Galaxy. This means that anytime there is a sale on any platform, the increased player count will benefit all platforms.

Mod Support

(Modded units by Glorious AYY FB)

Our latest patch (1.1.4: Eat Crow) was largely inspired by a balance mod that our player community put together. I hope that our community can continue to help us balance the game, as well as create and test new features, including new units.

In fact, a new Hedgehog unit is currently being developed and tested by community members. All of Tooth and Tail's assets are in human readable XML files and PNGs, so adding new stuff or modifying existing units is accessible to everyone.

Community Tournaments and Games via our Discord Channel

We have possibly the most tricked out Discord channel in gaming, due to the efforts of our community, lead by community manager, Brian Franco (mastastealth). The short list of Discord features:

Pocketbot (a Discord bot to help the community learn about the game and keep the server in order)

Automated weekly PB Cup tournaments

Support for player-run tournaments

ReplayUltima (replay analyzer)

In development is Pocket World, another Discord integrated tool that will allow players to fight for the four in-game factions simply by playing the game. Players will take and lose territory for their team as they play.

New Platforms

Still nothing to announce, but yes, we're investigating new platforms for Tooth and Tail. Stay tuned.

New Feature -- Standard Seeds in Story Mode

The Story Mode balance still needs quite a bit of work, and I'm determined to make the campaign be something that garners universal praise -- it's very close, but with a few things that can just ruin the experience for some people. So I plan to rebalance things again, and offer the ability to play each map on a "standard" -- and fair -- seed. I hope to add leaderboards to the standard seeds as well.

Balance

You all know that I pay a lot of attention to the game's balance and I like to tweak it. Sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the weird. Expect this to continue.

A short history of the patches and their notable changes:

1.0.2: Howling Nerf -- Single Player Changes, Bug Fixes

1.0.3: Kasha So Sad -- Reduced Landmine range, Kasha nerf, Wolf re-stim removed

1.0.4: Butterbomb -- Campfires, tile sets added to multiplayer, Boar bomb added, boar slow, toads get structure crit, barbed wire redesign, lizard range 1, snakes can't hit structures, owl bomb removed, fox hp mega-nerfed, warren health scales by tier

1.0.5: Chicken Mole -- Flag customization, Editor Preview, Discord Status

1.0.6: Lizard Love -- Tier 3 build time increased, lizard buff, boar no longer slow

1.0.7: 鼹鼠 두더지 MOLE -- Chinese and Korean added, focus fire improvements, lizards range 2, another mole revamp, major chameleon buff

1.0.8: Nibbles and Tweaks -- Starting Farms always adjacent, major boar buff, pigeon AI changes

1.1.0: ('Tis the) Season 2 -- Ladder reset, unit and player stats added, MMR, Map Fairness

1.1.1: GOG Crossplay -- Crossplay, Tier 2 Artillery with scatter shot, Fox rooting, Landmine vision, Tier 3 build time increased, Warren health returned to 50

1.1.2: Snek House -- Snakes can poison structures again, Artillery returned to tier 3

1.1.3: Diamonds are a Lizard's Best Friend -- Single player rebalanced to fit Multiplayer stats, Burrowing to Allied bases, lizards range slightly reduced, MG nerf

1.1.4: Eat Crow -- Swift reduced to 1.75x speed, toad redesigned, boar given semi-agile, artillery range increased to 10

What do you want to see?

So what do you want to see out of Tooth and Tail in the months to come? What was your favorite balance patch? What kind of mods would you like to see? Let me know in the comments!

Celebration Hot Tea Month January 2021

A warm, steaming cup of tea is welcome at any time of day, especially in the cold winter months. Whether as an alternative to coffee with the rich tradition of Irish Breakfast tea, or as a quiet cap to the end of the day, settling your nerves with Chamomile and Lavender, tea is amazing. You can drink it like the American 19s do, with lemon and sugar, or perhaps a bit of honey, or you can mix in milk or creamer for a fully European experience. However you do it, Hot Tea Month is a great time to reembrace this delicious beverage that can warm your heart and body.

History of Hot Tea Month

Tea has been being drunk for thousands of years, originating from deep within the country of China. From there it grew in prominence until it was one of the most important beverages in the world, rivaling coffee as the drink of choice for mornings, and for those who needed a pick-me-up. Tea has been seen as a mark of sophistication, and has practically redefined British culture, having become completely inseparable from what it means to be British.

Tea isn 19t just a warm and delicious beverage, it can also be used medicinally. There are thousands of herbal teas out there, and each of them can be used to help fortify the body, and even help you heal and fight infection. One of the most common uses is to help soothe nerves as night time rolls in with a cup of mint and chamomile tea.

Tea has also been having important studies going on with it, with three glasses of green tea being shown to actually enhance the amount of calories that are burned in 24 hours. Imagine being able to help yourself burn away unwanted fat and combat obesity just by enjoying something you already love. Oh Tea, is there anything you can 19t do?

How to celebrate Hot Tea Month

Celebrating Hot Team Month is as simple as brewing up a cup of your favorite tea, and sitting back and relaxing as you sip it down. There is a whole world of teas out there, literally thousands of varieties that are picked at different stages of the Tea bushes growth cycle, and then are mixed or aged carefully to bring about a unique and desirable flavor and aroma.

Hot Tea Month is a great opportunity for you to try cutting back on coffee, and instead use a hot cup of tea to get yourself going in the morning! Happy Hot Tea Month!
