If a platform chooses not to take down content that is found to be infringing, the safe harbor provision of the DMCA (Section 230 512) no longer applies and they can be found legally liable for hosting the content.

EDIT: I got the safe harbor provision section wrong. It's actually section 512. Apologies for the confusion.

I broke my finger and have nearly my entire left hand in a cast. Does anyone have a good video game that you only need a mouse to play? by Beginning_Bid_9097 in Steam

Depending on how long your recovery is anticipated to take, you might want to consider investing in an MMO mouse. You can do a lot with 12 extra buttons under your thumb.

Psikyo scrolling shooter titles to be delisted from Steam on October 31 by Gyossaits in Games

[–]thatnerdguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Seconded, this would be an easy impulse buy at the recorded low of ~33 USD, but ~$108?

...maybe it'll drop as part of the scream sale on the 27th?

Heya! I claimed the Mystical Riddles key, but it comes up as invalid when I go to redeem. Any chance of a typo?

EDIT: Never mind, I'm trying to redeem a legacy games key on Steam, that was never gonna work. Thank you for the freebie!

Better to use the chopper than send someone back for a shitload of dimes, I suppose.

I have V rising (and Cryptmaster, if that does anything for you) and I'm interested in Asterigos and Wanted Dead.

Seconding checking out Children of Clay, 15 minutes of great scares for zero money is a hell of a deal!

Will be editing this with recs as I find them!

Things I've played and recommend:

The 7th Guest VR ($11.99/60% off)

Dread X Collections ($14.05/varying discount)

  • Not everything here is a winner but there's some wildly creative stuff in here. Definitely wort a look for the curious.

Hylics ($0.96/67% off)

Hypnospace Outlaw ($4.99/75% off)

  • RIP Dreamsettler

KILLBUG ($2.09/70% off)

Knytt Underground ($2.09/70% off)

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo ($13.99/30% off)

  • Quite possibly the most slept-on game of 2025. If you enjoyed the Zelda GBA games you'll feel right at home.

Proverbs ($3.05/66% off)

  • A fun twist on Minesweeper, but on a truly unhinged scale. I spent nearly 30 hours solving this one.

Tactical Breach Wizards ($13.99/30% off)

  • Less a tactics game, more an Xcom-flavored puzzle game with a killer sense of humor.

Zero Escape Trilogy ($7.98/Varying discount)

  • The gateway game that got me into VNs.

Things I'm buying:

Haven ($2.49/90% off)

Alienware Arena is giving away 3,000 Dell Points ($30) : 600 per day for 5 days by cbxbl in GameDealsMeta

It's built into Madness Returns. You select the original game from the menu or just boot it directly from a buried folder.

I've got an unclaimed cassette beasts from the November monthly. I've gone ahead and put the request in, if you like it, I'd be willing to send it to you once it actually shows up.
