I have most of the ones I already want from GoG, but I felt it was the responsible thing to ask out loud. I remember I made big noise when steam got Freespace 2 only to later learn that it worked less than spectacularly.

Already own SS2... seriously considering picking up a couple copies anyway.

Auction is back

Apparently, gems you created yourself have been returned, gems purchased from the market have been refunded to your steam wallet, and everyone who traded gems yesterday gets a free copy of CS:GO.

...so I'm guessing anyone who bought hacked gems, converted them to boosters and sold those not only made a big profit off that ($0.03 for the gems, turn into booster pack that sells for $1 or more), but gets the money they spent on gems returned to them.

I suppose they didn't really have any choice about that (I'm surprised they managed to untangle it as well as they did) but it kind of annoys me anyway.

It was a lot less than you think. Most game booster packs only go for like $.20-.30 each, and the fact that you only had the chance to craft 1 booster pack for each game you had before they shut it down kinda limited it. All-in-all I only ended up with a net gain of like $10, despite crafting a booster for the majority of my 200-odd games. (The amount was also reduced by the fact that the majority of the more expensive boosters/cards are that way because of small supply and a small demand, meaning that their prices depressed pretty quickly during the booster flood).

That said I'm a bit disappointed that I can't craft enough boosters to level all of my badges up to the maximum , but all-in-all it didn't turn out that bad IMO.

Should I get The Mighty Eight and I Have No Mouth?

[Rolan7]

I Have No Mouth is pretty good in my opinion, but personally I would just re-watch Grimith's LP of it.  The gameplay is mostly typical for a point and click adventure, including tedious pixel hunting, except that you also need to complete each character's story a specific way for them to be available in the game's concluding chapter.  It might be necessary to get all but one of them...

So basically it seems like an awful tedious game to actually play, but it's an interesting experience I would recommend checking out on Youtube.

Is I have no mouth based on that sci fi short story?

Cause the short story is pretty great.

It's kinda-sorta based on the Ellison story. I remember a lot of stuff getting jumbled but it's been a long time  since I've read up on either and I'm sort of anti-Ellison to begin with so I may be mistaken there.

[Culise]

Same setting, same characters, and some elements implied by the backstory in the original story do get a bit more focus in the video game.  If I recall, Ellison was rather upset at the video game for (minor spoiler) including the (admittedly rather difficult) possibility for a happy ending, but Ellison was pretty much born a curmudgeon.  I read the screenshot LP, and while I probably won't play the game itself, I did find it somewhat interesting.

Ellison read a nice audio book version too and did the voice of AM in the game.

[BigD145]

I heard it has an actual good ending where the book does not. Otherwise it's not too far off.

I've heard to get the good ending you need to do a ton of really specific stuff.

Both true. The story doesn't lend itself to a happy ending easily, and maybe it shouldn't have had one. It is mostly about endless suffering for hatreds sake. I like the story for this difference.
