The (
https://www.humblebundle.com/freedom) Humble Freedom Bundle is worth a special mention.
Not only because you get a bunch of awesome games and books for $30 (seriously, check it out!), but because the entire $30 gets split between three fantastic organisations doing great work: the ACLU, MSF and International Rescue.
Give the Trumpoids a bloody nose and get yourself some ace swag at the same time! :D

Good games, good causes. Bought! :D
The Witness and Overgrowth have been on my list for a long while, and there's several others I'd love to give a spin as well. Stardew Valley, Mushroom 11, Nuclear Throne.
Anyone play Subnautica? Any good?

Had my eye on Subnautica a while ago, when it was first launched as Early Access. No idea how it is now, but I would also like to hear about it.
Two games in it I know to be good:
AI War - A coop RTS/4x hybrid that pits human players against a pair of AI opponents that do not play by the exact same rules, but still follow a fairly strict set of rules.
Tower of Guns - A Roguelite FPS with satisfying gunplay and interesting challenges.

The first few hours of Subnautica (all that I played) were great. I didn't get to building submarines, bases, and exploring deep ocean, but the setting worked fantastically well for a crafting survival game, where you know that you need X resource to craft those flippers/oxygen tank, etc, and it's good fun to scavenge around, swimming through reeds and coral tunnels.
Give it a go. You may just have fun.

A lot of what No Man's Sky tried to do and failed, Subnautica delivers.
Neb on 14/2/2017 at 07:37
Yeah, I can see the similarity, and also appreciate that Subnautica is a game which doesn't want to waste your time with progress bars and travel.
The only thing in the bundle which interests me which I don't already have, is R in a Nutshell. Probably won't fork out $30 just for that, but wondering how ebooks work on Humble.
(Also, play Human Resource Machine. It's a great visual programming puzzle game).

Well, it's not just $30 for the bundle, it's also for a good cause. But I can probably gift that thing to you(when I get home). I just hope you manage to enjoy reading your ebook WHILE THE WORLD BURNS :grr:

I bought the Army of Darkness comic bundle a while back, and they are available for me to download as pdf files as well as a couple of e-book formats. To use them as e-books you'd just have do transfer the apropriate file to your reading device (or open them in your e-book program).

Joke's on you, because if you send me that ebook, I'll donate a few dollars to one of those bundle charities.
FUCK THE SYSTEM

The (
https://www.humblebundle.com/wild-frontier-bundle) Humble Wild Frontier Bundle is quite good! It at least had a couple games that've been on my wishlist for a while: wild west/Lovecraft-themed XCOM-alike
Hard West, and
Renowned Explorers, which caught my eye when twisty listed it as (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147367) one of his faves of last year. Also in the BTA-tier:
Spintires! :D And for $13 you get something called
Slime Rancher, which I don't know what it is. I watched the trailer but I still don't know what it is.
Anyone want keys for Spintires, Gods Will Be Watching or Frontiers, let me know. Think I'm gonna hang on to Ice Lakes.
