The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle


Recommended Posts

So what do people think about this...

I was not going to purchase anything, as I have already played Trine, and have no real interest in the other games, but with that said, I figure a donation of $5 is better then nothing right?

I donated $5, even though I probably will never get the time to play more than 30 minutes of any of them. But what the heck, it's better than buying fast food tonight for the same price, haha.

If you already own some of the games then I would just factor that into the amount you chose to pay. Having no idea how I would enjoy them I paid $5. If I enjoy the games then I will top up my purchase price like I did with the second bundle when they added in the first one for free :)

I love how the average Linux donation is almost double the average PC and Mac donations. Represent! ;)

I already have Trine, but I think I might just go ahead and drop $10 on this anyways, just to support the cause. I've skipped my daily coffee enough times this month to justify the purchase :laugh: .

Purchased.

The downloads from the main Humble Bundle site are indeed very slow, which is to be expected, so I just activated the key on Steam, and am getting my normal fast Steam download speeds.

Figured why not check out Shadowgrounds: Survivor. (Y)

Hey... every penny helps. Even 1 cent is better than nothing... no? (It's not much better but still hah!)

Under a certain threshold - the transaction fees outweigh the amount pledged so no, they end up out of pocket if people pay $0.01.

No, a 1 cent donation is actually a loss to them due to fees incurred in the transaction.

If you want to be cheap, at least kick in a buck. It's less than what almost anyone would waste in a week.

I'm not sure about PayPal or Google Checkout, but Amazon won't let you donate an amount so low that they'd end up losing money. No idea what the threshold is there though. And when I bought it yesterday, at the time, they said Google Checkout was having issues with amounts under $0.30. And PayPal was acting like a git; when I logged in, it would not let me pay with my bank account, it wanted me to transfer ?5 into my PayPal account, so I had to pay as a guest. :pinch:

Purchased.

Trine looks nice, and those two Shadowgrounds games could potentially be about as fun as Dead Nation (even if probably not as polished) :unsure:

Well worth $20, IMO.

And here was I thinking that we were the cheapskates :whistle:

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
