I finally got in. It's a bit flakey (I think it's in experimental stages) but yeah makes installing the games a lot easier. At first I couldn't find my games though, you have to go into your account/My Library/My purchases to see them. For some reason the Library tab doesn't show the games you've purchased - only the ones you've installed or already downloaded.

I think they did that so as to not be overwhelming. I got a couple of errors but I did get Minit to install.

if you're buying apple products you can probably go the extra half mile and buy a dedicated box for games rather than try to squarepeg roundhole

i've never played alien isolation but lately i'm catching up on the alien movies i haven't seen (and reading thru the omnibuses) and i'm thinking like i should play it so my question is: a) should i play it? and b) is it good on the switch? bc it's my preference to play it there.
― Mordy, Friday, 12 June 2020 16:04 (three years ago) link
it was fun for a bit but I never finished it (no idea about Switch quality)
― Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Friday, 12 June 2020 16:26 (three years ago) link
allegedly the switch version looks better than the PS4 version for that game, the porting studio made a bunch of improvements
― ciderpress, Friday, 12 June 2020 16:33 (three years ago) link
if you like games that are tense and scary to the point of irritation then yes you should play it.

Hey check out Micro Mages from the bundle if anyone is still making their way through that. Insane that it's up to 1,637 games...
― Evan, Friday, 12 June 2020 16:49 (three years ago) link
ooh Micro Mages? scratch that off my wishlist as well then
― Ste, Friday, 12 June 2020 16:58 (three years ago) link
https://youtu.be/ZWQ0591PAxMAs an aside, really neat background on the making of Micro Mages. It’s playable on an NES!

finally got the bundle, stoked to dig into it over the next 20 years

the reasons behind how it came into creation will likely still be sadly relevant then

Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, I see has been added. I've been playing that on Steam. Very weird but interesting and pretty cool. and the music is great.

Mini Ghost, another decent one

(sorry, I know these are not really helpful 'reviews') I'm just quick browsing at the minute, I'll have a proper dig and hopefully some more insight

Why are you literally the only other person on the entire internet having the same error as me with that game? I can't find anything about anyone else ever having experienced this.
― Evan, Saturday, 13 June 2020 02:13 (three years ago) link
google used to be better at finding things (is my conspiracy theory)

Resident Evil 2 remake. Really good, but goddamn is it stressful. That eternally stalking hulking dude who can’t be killed, just hear his footsteps coming and going...

i have defeated hyper light drifter. damn, what a game! if we ever do one of those decade polls, this will surely be on my 2010-19 list
― our god is a wee lil god (Karl Malone), Sunday, 14 June 2020 00:11 (three years ago) link
i like how the end credits reveal that the true "hyper light drifters" are the people who funded the game

you have to read between the lines as you warp through their names to see that though

In between mowing lots of grass in farming sim 19 I've now been sucked into the world of GTA IV, the vibe in this game is incredible once you let it get hold of you.
I decided to drive around correctly obeying the traffic signals. Following cars around pretending to be a private investigator.
It's almost as if I'm utterly fed up with spending my time in the real world.
― Ste, Sunday, 14 June 2020 23:07 (three years ago) link
I figured out how to fix this
― Evan, Sunday, 14 June 2020 23:14 (three years ago) link
Minit now works and Nuclear Throne works on my pre-Catalina machine (no luck on Catalina- it can only be fixed by the Developers making an update).
― Evan, Sunday, 14 June 2020 23:17 (three years ago) link
By the way, this helps immensely:

That's great - you can sort by both date added and Steam rating, as well filtering out the tools/non-games.

Hidden Folks is pretty good, if you like casual ‘where’s Walx’ type games

nah - can't be bothered. probably won't go back to any of the bundle - glad I donated tho

Well FWIW the fix was a tiny line of code in terminal. Fixed a handful of other games that refused to open, too
― Evan, Monday, 15 June 2020 19:16 (three years ago) link

Run Terminal. Assuming the program is in applications folder, type: "xattr -c /Applications/Minit.app/"Then it's fixed! Shouldn't matter what the filepath is, just needs to be correct. It doesn't fix Catalina incompatibility, just some of those weird errors where it brazenly encourages you to immediately trash the file.
― Evan, Monday, 15 June 2020 22:06 (three years ago) link
Would have mentioned earlier but wasn't in front of my main comp and was second guessing the "xattr" part.

Griftlands is awesome - I know everyone’s drowning in itch.io games, but this roguelike deckbuilder has so many good ideas packed into it. The story system is excellent, providing a world for the ‘slay the spire’ game to live in. It’s early-access, but seems pretty polished to me.
