Humble's latest bundle packs some well-regarded games into a fairly low-priced collection. The Humble Heroines Bundle offers Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Severed Steel, Scarlet Nexus, Gears 5, Celeste, Tacoma, and Cloudpunk for $20. The bundle celebrates Women's History Month, with charity proceeds to support Girls Who Code.

In addition, the latest Humble Choice is here, with Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (for Origin) headlining the offerings. Also part of the bundle are Desperados III, Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan, Red Solstice 2, Nebuchadnezzar, Evan's Remains, and Police Stories. The Humble Heroines Bundle is available for the next 20 days, while the Humble Choice will last until the end of the month.

Wow...that's very interesting. :D

For those who care (deckers?): the deck compatibility breakdown

scarlet nexus: verified
bloodstained: untested (but platinum level on protondb)
severed steel: untested (but platinum on protondb)
gears 5: unsupported (easyanticheat borks things up)
celeste: verified
cloudpunk: verified
tacoma: untested (but native linux build available)


...but really: I've got celeste on two other platforms, played through it twice...and it's worth the full money on the bundle alone (even without the deck in the picture).

celeste is an actual fucking masterpiece and is one of the best games of the previous decade
it could be 90 dollars and i'd still consider it worth every cent

Wow, that's a pretty good bundle and considering that the money goes to a good cause makes it a no-brainer.
Is Celeste really that good? The last time I tried it it just came off as an tricky platformer, might give it a second chance with this bundle.

I know it doesn't look that stellar at first sight. But it just does so much right. And I mean RIGHT!
The gameplay is smooth and varied, with extra powers you pick up and gradually learn to properly use. Dying isn't punished aside from an instant return to the last checkpoint. There's hard points but no unfair ones. There's plenty of extras for me challenge and bonus content (heck... I found an entire game in my game :P).
The pixel art is okay, but the music is stellar. And the story? At first it seems a bit standard (you climb a mountain, just because), but it is told so well throughout the game that by the end you're really rooting for your little character (sorry, but I'm not going to spoil it. Suffice to say it's mature without being gross or vulgar).

So... Yeah. It's great. I can't recall where it ended exactly on my top 220 video games ever i made a few years ago, but it was high.
Edit : found it : i ranked it number six :

Very good bundle for once even though I own a couple of these (and Celeste on Switch). Guess I'll buy this and pause another month on Choice because of how much of that I own (minus Mass Effect Legendary, which I would want on Steam).

A bit weird but it only shows 6 items available in the bundle for me, the one excluded being Scarlet Nexus. The description does list all 7 of them though but it is weird seeing only 6. Changing my VPN seems to do the trick. I'll probably pick it up in the coming days.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
