as well as 'Super Hexagon' (link on the post above)

It really, really, irritates me that basically every game Steam suggests to me in my queue is a Windows game.

It does that if you have configured Steam to show Windows games on the front page. If you tell it to show only Linux games, your queue will also contain only Linux games.

Yeah, it's still irritating that it will show you Windows-only games when in Linux unless you filter them. It should be the default setting to show only games that actually run the OS you're using...

I'm getting Tomb Raider and Shadowrun: Hong Kong, that much is a given. But what else? Should I go for Oxenfree, as it looks like Kentacky Route Zero will never be under 10 euros (screw those guys). Or go with Life is Strange and then prey that it actually comes to Linux?

Please post a link to your Steam Profile, if we know what you already have, making recommendations is easier,

Where is the option?
The problem began because of "Customize Your Discovery Queue"

Anyone know if Shadows of Mordor will work well with a GeForce GTX 950?

I suppose so. I've been playing it in my i3, 4 GB, GTX 650 Ti machine on low-medium settings and 30 fps.

I played it through twice (once on Windows and once on Linux) with my GTX 550 Ti on low (@1080p) with 20fps >.> so it really depends on your definition of "playable" XD

I'm so gonna buy the Steam Controller now that I started working and got paid. There was already a sale for it at the beginning of this month and I was so sad it ended just before I got paid and missed it. I hoped for it to come again this sale and it did, I'm so happy!

Most of the games in my wishlist had bigger discounts in past sales! Really disappointing :(

atlast: darkest dungeon!!!!

So where's the setting to change this?

[Painkiller Hell and Damnation](http://store.steampowered.com/app/214870/): 90% off

Ive got a 950... I only played it for 3h... coz you know... no time... but it worked beautifully well

For now, I'm gonna buy Tomb Raider GOTY...

About the queue list, in the first one were all Linux games... The second and the third, were all Windows games :><:
Of course, I marked all those windows games with the "Not interested"

I grabbed me a second Steam Controller.

I played Shadow of Mordor with a GTX670 - for me it worked fine.

Me too. I couldn't believe I wasn't able to buy the last time because my e-wallet was short €2.
I'm going to buy the Steam Controller + The Talos Principle (only €4.50 more) pack.

Yep, we were lucky they made a sale again, even tho it's not that surprising really.
IDK about you but the transport + VAT is so expensive (I live in Romania) that the final price was exactly 55€, the Steam Controller's original price :))) It's ok tho, it's like I got free shipping cuz of the sale. Can't wait for it.
Any idea about how long did it take to arrive for other people in the EU? They are being shipped all the way from the distant lands of Murica, right?

Lot's of games on my wishlist at good prices. I can only afford a couple of them though, so it's going to be a tough choice. I'm leaning towards Mordor and Talos though. SR IV is also high on the list. I've already seen most of Tomb Raider at a friend's, but the deal is pretty good.

Can't say about Talos, but I enjoyed Mordor [a lot], even though, it was not really challanging and the end fight was not what I'd epect of an end boss fight.

I just bought Talos today, since it sounds very promising (just read the reviews).

That's okay. I'm not looking for challenge. I play most of these games at the easiest available difficulty. Life's challenging enough. :)
