Do you happen to know the specifics of this because I've noticed with 1.3 that bitch has been able to nail me when she isn't even on screen which considering she has to 'look at you' to me is cheating. :P

No idea.

This doesn't make any sense. I started updating Terraria via Galaxy and Galaxy is downloading over 800MB? How does a game when installed has a size of less than 200 MB have an 800MB update? The standalone installer size hasn't really changed so the update can't be that big. o.O

SantuaryRPG: Black Edition has just been updated.

Patch 2.2.7 (10.07.2015)

FIXED
Fixed Sestarne being cursed bug
Fixed decimal in ELO display bug
Fixed allegiance display issue

So yeah, medusas are a real bitch. I kinda like that they're extremely dangerous, and lurk in the dark corners of the ancient, wet bowels of the earth. Gives the whole exploration thing a nice vibe; makes it feel like you're exploring some place ancient and forgotten.

That said, last night I crafted a Godly Night's Edge and some molten armor and have been obliterating medusas ever since.

:-)
I was wondering about that install size too. Was the install size that big on previous versions?

What, you can't use mirrors against Medusa's?

Does a method exist in order to remove the game update notification? It gets irritating especially when a person doesn't even see what has indeed updated.

To remove an update notification, you'll need to see what has been updated. To do so, go to your account, click the "My Collection" button and a drop-down menu should appear. Select "Updated" and you will see which games have been updated. Click the one you want, then "More", then "Changelog". Then, the notification should disappear after 5-10 minutes.

Thanks for letting me know, not sure why the heck it would increase like that. They didn't add a butch of new content apparently or unless the content was missing when the 1.3 was released... maybe the images aren't compressed now? Kind of weird.

The Linux version of Botanicula has been added (I received a flag).

Smugglers V: Invasion has just been updated.

Patch 1.6b (10.07.2015):

Bug fixed (Invasion): In the Smugglers 5 Invasion DLC: "Warrior Within" there was a freezing bug in the "Golden Claw" storyline when you Stoyline step "Fraz Trokar (1)" when you Visited the moon in the Hrrashnath system.
Bug fixed (Invasion): In the Smugglers 5 Invasion DLC: "Warrior Within" the descriptions for the stories Golden Claw and Warrior Within were reversed.
Bug fixed (Invasion): There as a freeze when revisiting the Rasguul Base exploration story (in one of the three available storylines for this planet).
Bug fixed (Invasion): Graphic bug where there were switched left/right pictures for Jalkath carrier
Bug fixed (Invasion): There was a reference to 5 factions when you founded your pirate empire (in Invasion there are only 2 + your own faction).

I updated Shockwave Flash. The new version tried to install malware on my system which I had to unselect ("Norton Security" or something like that). Very annoying!
