A Story about my Uncle is free on Humble Bundle for a bit.

[AzyWng]

Flow Fire Games, makers of robot roguelike realistic-ish top-down shooter SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising have recently released a free standalone-ish expansion called SYNTHETIK: Arena.

Arena is free to play even if you don't own the original game, and I think progress from it can be linked to progress from Legion Rising, or something like that.

The Arena comes with 2 DLCs.

First is the Arena Upgrade DLC, which features Hard Mode for all Arena Missions, 8 new weapons (All of them series 5, giving players 2 choices for series 5 weapons, and not just one), and unlocks all pieces of arena gear.

Then there's the Arena Supporter DLC, which changes the default player drone to look like something called "Jimmy" (Cosmetic, changes color depending on which class you choose), a unique chat color, some wallpaper and printable unit cutouts, and a series 0 rifle called the Heavy M75 - which fires shots that punch through enemies and charges up damage when the player stands still.

Some of the weapons and equipment require referrals to unlock. These are acquired by sharing referral codes with other players - to see yours and to enter in another person's referral code, go into the multiplayer tab and click the button that says something about a "Referral Code". That should bring up a window that lets you see your code and enter in another person's code. Keep in mind you can only enter one person's code.

There's also another weapon that requires you to do a survey to unlock. The link is here. Once you've recieved your code from the survey, go into the game and type the code into the chat, keeping the /.

Here's my own friend referral code, if you're interested in playing. If you refer 4 different people to the game, you'll unlock the Titanium Deagle (I think that's what it's called).

Amplitude is doing their annual anniversary promotions, so in addition to playing any of their stuff for the weekend, if you're willing to jump through needless hoops you can get Endless Space 1 (with expansions) free off the Games2Gether site by linking an account there with your Steam account. Or you could get it for 2$USD straight from Steam, but if you have any other Amplitude titles they've had a few other freebies over the years for more recent titles, so there's a bit more incentive to jump through their hoops.

[Some people are commenting that the linking currently isn't even working ATM, so it sounds like a proper Charlie Fox. They'll probably fix it though, as they're usually pretty good about that. Usually.]

Humble Bundle is temporarily offering Deponia:The Complete Journey for free.

Aurora 4x

Aurora 4x has already been added to the list of games that's present on the google drive spreadsheet, I believe.

[JerryBulletSponge]

Oh

[a1s]

oh

Seeing as how there is a 1305 page discussion of the game that might not have left the first page in the last year, that was kind of a forgone conclusion.

So, I've decided to resume trying to make/maintain the Freeware Games spreadsheet (I admittedly don't know how much traffic it sees).

There are plenty of smaller games that I think deserve a place on the spreadsheet, but I can't help but think they're neither large enough to be placed in the REAL games folder, or small enough to be placed in "Flash/Web games" (Not to mention the fact several of these games must be downloaded before they can be played).

I've decided to, for the time being, create a "Mini" games folder to house these smaller games. This is stuff like Nightclub Showdown, Roguelight, and a few other games I'll add to the tab soon. If there's a game that you think should be added, be sure to let me know about it. Additionally, if you think the tab should be removed or kept, let me know about that, too.

Always good to see more people interested in actively contributing to a community project! 

[LtGreeneyes]

LOL! I've been going through the spreadsheet and picking out a bunch of little gems (Cave Story, PlaneShift), but I didn't even notice there WERE tabs! Yay for reading.

I mentionned Open Rails for people interested in open source train driving a few years ago in this thread.

If someone was interested, i recently noticed along newer version of Open Rails there's a starter kit, that is a new free route/train/activity for free for Open Rails if you want another one :
http://www.trainsimulations.net/ORTS_starter_pack.html

Another open source train driving sim i noticed recently is OpenBVE , that is based on the japanese BVE train sim serie that aim was to be more realistic in procedure than Microsoft Train Simulator (that was the basis of Open Rails)
https://openbve-project.net/
There are supposedly a lot of free routes and etc.. available for it and it should be able to run BVE4 addons too (but not BVE5 ones apparently).
but googling for them seems to be the way as there does not seem some centralised addon website (and OpenBVE by default come without any routes/trains, not even sample ones so you need to find a route and train to be able to at least run the sim), here's some bve links to help :
https://www.railserve.com/Computers/BVE/
Apparently OpenBVE is able to work with ready to use package to install them automatically, but i didn't found a single one , leading to having to install routes/trains manually
https://openbve-project.net/install-addons/

An example of free route / train i tested :
http://railsimroutes.net/bve_trainsim/x-city_south.php

in case you wish to try OpenBVE and get some routes/trains here's a basic how to even start your train as it can be puzzling, with the default keys (you can change them with the program)
- first press the key "F" then "V" (to move the Reverser to Forward then to Neutral again)
- it will emit some kind of alarm sound, press "Insert" key to stop it
- press the key "2" to elevate the pantograph (on some trains it may be raised by default on the test train i had it was raised) , once it catches electricity (sound and/or visual light on the control panel) it's good

- wait for the doors to close (at the start they do it automatically after a select time, but in other stop you can do it yourself with F5/F6 to open left/right ones or close them)
- you should hear a buzzer at some point, press key "6" to reply

- press "F" to set the Reverser to Forward

- press "Spacebar" to be able to start
- press key "A" a few time until you're in positive speed gear up and you're good to go

http://openbvesg.blogspot.com/p/how-to-drive.html
good luck being on time at each stop

edit 2 : when your train is moving , there are several safety measures in the tracks, sometime you'll roll over a signal that will trigger (probably you're going a bit too fast) , you have 3 seconds to do the following or the train will automatically apply the emergency brake :
press the "Insert" key , hold it half a second and release, if you did it in time (before the 3 seconds are elapsed) the sound will stop and you'll continue as normal, if you forget to do that in those 3 seconds, emergency brakes.
You'll then have to wait until the train stop, then a minute and you'll be able to resume your course, with passenger anger and your own shame .

I found this little game on itch.io: Daemon vs Demon

It's a simple hack 'n slash, isn't really challenging and it's fairly short (it took me ~30-40 minutes to finish it). It has some fun dialogue and overall I would say it's a nice game for your coffee break.
