I don't really get why the awards aren't specific for time periods. Them being "all games on steam ever" is weird and kind of pointless.

YOU CAN NOT BUST THE KRUST
Any suggestions for a one-handed gamer? I was hit by a car recently, and my left arm/wrist is broken. It'll be in a fiberglass cast for months. Mouse only controls preferred.

Thinking of these games for the Steam Sale:
Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition
West of Loathing
Battle Chasers: Nightwar
Templar Battleforce
Civilization V (already own this and its DLC content, always wanted to get into it!)
Legend of Grimlock 1/2 (has a handicapped mouse only mode. lol, guess that applies to me.. :unsmith:)

The type of games I love:
Darkest Dungeon
XCOM 1/2
Invisible, Inc.
Transistor
Renowned Explorers: International Society
Undertale
SteamWorld Heist
Crypt of the NecroDancer

It's mostly not true. It bogs down a little in the bigger areas and the more explosive boss fights but not enough to really detract.

well then you're already set, most people who get really into civ put more hours into them than you can fit in half a year's waking hours

you don't list any jrpgs but i'll recommend suikoden anyway, it's a game that's has a 1H option by design. unfortunately that hand is the left one, but you can easily rebind the d-pad to the right stick, X (confirm) to R1, O (cancel) to R2, and □ to Start--that's seriously all you need, and that's the right-handed analogue to their native left-hand controls.

in fact, once you get to the PS2 entries, you can set it to use the right stick to move by default, too.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Dark Scavenger is currently under $2, and only requires a mouse to play. It's an odd egg, combining choose your own adventure game book-like scenarios with light RPG combat. Every area in the game is loaded with things for your character to steal, and then haul back to your space ship, where they can be crafted by your choice of one of your three alien buddies into a usable ability for the combat portions of the game. The game feels very memorable to me, and I recommend it to anyone who can find the charm in something a little goofy.

I've been playing Planescape Torment EE lately and at first I was quite annoyed that there is poo poo all to do for my left hand aside from highlighting things with Tab key. Before that I did D:OS2 which is WASD:ing all the time so not sure about that D:OS1 on your list (edit: but maybe that WASD is just for moving the map in small increments, can't remember how necessary it really is).

I don't remember the ending overexplaining itself? I thought it was still pretty abstract-ish, i mean most damning part is don't really remembner it but I wasn't mad afterwards. Also if you really liked everything up until the ending, is that really a waste of time? Endings are a bit of cherry ontop but if the journey is fantastic then I can't be too mad.

The protagonist hallucinated all the gameplay and died at the campfire at the game's outset. The badass fellow diseased dude was a hallucination as well. I too felt it was a downer.

Just nominate whatever for whatever man, it’s not like these Steam awards have any meaning when every single game on Steam is eligible every single year. These awards are completely meaningless. I just picked random games I liked and nominated them for random awards. Maybe Deep Space Waifu will win big this year! Who knows. Make sure to nominate Bad Rats for something too.

If we were clever we would coordinate and see if goons can get comedy options into the final voting but with stakes this low who even cares. I bet they don’t even give out a real award. It’s just, like, a picture of an award they send over by fax.

Good call. Could I maybe re-bind WASD to the arrow keys or numpad? If character movement relies on the keyboard, but the battles in D:OS1 are strictly turn-based, I should be okay. It's just real time combat and games that truly require two hands that wouldn't work (Starcraft 2 or FPS games, for example).

I think character movement is mouse... I would assume you can make it all work, some one else will know the details since I haven't played the first game and un-installed the second already :D

I am running Nioh of the highest settings.

I am running an old rear end i3-2120, with 8 gigs or ram, but with a Geforce 1060, and this game is running like a dream. Only slowdowns I've even encountered were the transitioning from one area to the next in some maps, and that MAYBE took half a second. Basically anything that could remotely hinder me while i'm playing with my settings did not affect me at all


Whatever reports they had of Nioh being a really bad port, they certainly took them time fixing it when i bought it (I bought this game like a week after it came out).

I've been enjoying Tyranny pretty well and unless I'm woefully bad at remembering, I'm pretty sure I do almost everything with the mouse. Combat is real time with pause though, not sure if you can bind the pause button to the mouse or not.

I don't think it implied that? What I got from it was he did die at the end, but managed to destroy that computer and stop the infection for others.

It’s a well-known fact that you can apply RPG elements to nearly any kind of game, but there yet remains a few genres that this cross-pollination has not touched. You can cross pinball games off that list thanks to Rollers of the Realm, a medieval romp through forests and castles as adventuring classes of balls.

This is bang on. It's a fun, chill adventure. The pinball is serviceable at best.

I still recommend it though, if you like Pinball. There's nothing else out there like it.

Maybe it would be a good time to look into a mouse with a bunch of programmable buttons? One handed with 3 buttons ain't the same as one handed with 12.
