When does Humble bill for the month? I assume it's 10am Pacific tomorrow, or is it earlier like perhaps midnight my time zone?

What guns do you use?Another day, another win.
Lifeline's a healer, but...
It's usually around 10am Pacific Time the last Friday of the month, although some times the charge doesn't hit until later in the day.
Thanks for the reminder!
Paused. Good games, but I already own Yakuza, Youropa and Darksiders .
Hopefully December will be more exciting.
Well this would be the second december of humble choice, so it's a 1 year anniversary. Sadly don't have the classic plan, but as always, looking forward to seeing what it brings.
I'm actually pretty happy with Humble this month. I started playing Darksiders 3 and I really enjoy it. Although it's funny how the starting area in Darksiders 3 looks very similar to the starting area in Remnant. And the Yakuza series is on the list for Christmas break. We'll be staying home for Christmas so I am looking forward to playing some long ass games.
How is Anno 1800? Is €20 a good price for the standard edition?
Is the DOOM Eternal dlc somewhere on Sale ?

I'm mostly interested in Darksiders 3, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Youropa and Darkwood, and the first of those two are on Game Pass. I still have plenty of GP time left and I'm thinking of adding 6 months or so courtesy of the Target "3 months for $19.99" deal.
German-specific question:
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/15435/Wolfenstein_Alt_History_Collection/
I already own the german editions of Wolfenstein 1&2 and Old Blood. If I buy this bundle do I get the International versions of these games + Youngblood as German and International version? When I add it to card it says the bundle contains 4 items and I won't get additional copies of those three games. When I click on a game in this bundle it show me it contains both the german and international versions.

Anno is one of the best builder / economy sims in years.
The DLC kinda bloats it tbh, I'm not sure I'd worry about getting more than the standard edition until you know you like it.
€ 20 is really tempting. I like builder or economy sims they are relaxing. Would the standard version be enough ?
I have the standard edition of DOOM Eternal on the Bethestha launcher. I have read the DLC is pretty tough.
Thinking about it, I've mostly just bought digital games off Steam and Humble.
But looking at some of the deals going on, what are all the good, safe digital game stores out there?
Like CDKeys has Fallout 4 GOTY for $8, but I vaguely recall people arguing about it before.

Rule of thumb is: every site listed on isthereanydeal.com and gg.deals is a legi authorized key seller that gets their keys straight from the publishers/devs.
Anything other than that are various degrees of grayness.
CDKeys is a bit of a gray zone, as they do not deal directly with the publishers but buy physical keys in bulk. However, they are legit and do not trade with stolen stuff like Kinguin does.
I usually aim for the Hemlok or R-301, good solid rifles that do solid damage. A Mastiff or Evo-8 Shotgun after that is always nice. I'm not the best with sniper rifles but I've had success with the Triple Take and the Charge Rifle, though the later is a bit of a crutch really.
Rebellion revokes "unlicensed or stolen Sniper Elite 3 Steam keys"
Update: Rebellion lists approved retailerswww.gamesindustry.biz
they have sold stolen keys before because they do not work directly with publishers (again unless that's changed in the last year or so, but when looking at their site it doesn't seem it. I don't see a partner page like most normal reputable key seller sites. I'm kind of surprised so many people are ignorant to all this. I thought we settled this 5 or 6 years ago on the old site, it was banned there for a reason)
im not saying what they do generally is illegal (although I think most people would agree taking advantage of regional pricing is kind of shitty) but they have absolutely sold stolen keys before whether they knew it or not (which is kind of the main problem when you don't work directly with the publisher isn't it)
yes cdkeys gave refunds (https://www.pcgamesn.com/sniper-elite-3/rebellion-shoot-down-batch-stolen-sniper-elite-3-keys?amp) but they were still caught selling stolen keys which was my point
I was made aware of this and have not purchased from cdkeys since. They might be "more legit" now, but one incident is enough for me to pay a little more to guarentee a good key.

I can't bring myself to love Charge Rifle due to the initial shot, which gives away my position. R99 + Longbow are still my favorite. I choose the former because I'm often flanked and sandwiched when sniping people lol
I have used them for the first time this sale with no problems.
Yeah you'll get the international version. I got the bundle and I there are two versions in my library (german + international).
Excited for Shiren and DQ11 S. Cautiously optimistic about Haven and Sam&Max.
I'm worried about Empire of Sin not turning out great.
gg.deals lists key resellers too. That's why some game deal groups on places like reddit won't link them.
What a crazy good month in store, I'll be picking up:
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Empire of Sin
- Per Aspera (Factorio x Mars Horizon)
- Suzerain (Yes, Your Grace in 1950s Baltics I guess)
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Empire of Sin
- Per Aspera (Factorio x Mars Horizon)
- Suzerain (Yes, Your Grace in 1950s Baltics I guess)
It's crazy, I was thinking it'd be a quieter month because of Cyberpunk clearing everything out, but nope it's packed again like every month is. So many quality titles, nowhere near enough time.
Had forgotten about Radio the Universe. Still looks good graphically, might pick up if it is a shorter RPG.Want to point out a game we should be looking out for next month? Share your words and deeds, send me a recommendation for it, and it'll go in next month's OP.

Does anyone use Playnite?
Installed it today, so I can get the full on console experience with controller, and its a great app/library/launcher.

Yea its great - consolidate all your libraries, with none of the GoG launcher nonsense of things breaking. i highly recommend installing a few additional metadata extensions (like Steam GridDB) to make updating your cover art an easy experience.
I bought an Xbox Series S and it feels so nice buying a console again. It's small, fast, the controller is great, and it outperforms my ancient PC. Really enjoying the little box!
...yet I can't shake off the feeling that I'll have no use for it once I upgrade my PC :x How do you guys justify owning consoles? I guess it'll be worth keeping around for the original Xbox/Xbox 360 games not available on PC.

Sony exclusives on ps3/4/5 and everything else on pc. But I also grew up as a pc person, only later in my 20s I started to own consoles
Nintendo/Sony/Atlus/Vanillaware games and the occasional other "weird" exclusives. Switch also because of portability.
They're treating it like a new game. Saves aren't compatible either.
Yeah, there's only really a handful of Playstation exclusives that tempt me, though it's nice to have a blu-ray player in the house too. That said, if I wasn't able to get a great deal on a PS4 Pro I doubt I'd have bothered.
I have all PS (no PS5 yet tho) consoles and a Switch...reasons? Nintendo, Sony 1P, Atlus games and thats it. The switch is probably my fav console since the og PS.
I only really care about form factor with consoles and specifically whether it's a handheld. The small handful of exclusives are generally uninteresting to me. The one series that could tip the scales for me is Zelda. Luckily the Wii U didn't have a single "new" Zelda game, and the Switch ticked the form factor box.
The Series S really is an interesting value proposition though. If it had a disc drive so I could grab some backwards compatible games on the cheap, that would be very compelling.

So that's the thing, I owned a PS1, PS2 and PS3, but I actually was never a fan of Sony exclusives. I can't think of a single PS4 game I wanted to play, honestly.
Last gen I went PC+3DS (and then PC+Switch) and that really worked for me.
I guess my logic was a bit flawed - I bought an Xbox in part because of "play anywhere", but it doesn't seem to be that common, actually. So most games I buy on my Xbox won't be playable on my future PC. Oh well, it's still a pretty great little console, it outperforms my current PC, I get to play classic Xbox/360 games, and even if I get rid of it I'll keep my second controller, so it's not all bad :P
PC parts are way too expensive. Once my current R5 1600/GTX 1070 is obsolete (should be a couple of years at 1080p60), I won't be able to fork out $1k-1.5k on a new build. $300 for another couple of 1080p60 years? Sure.
