what’re you buying?
Spent 40$ on a bunch of older games and some more Niche Stuff I’ve been wanting. I also picked up Cave Story after a friend suggested it. I’ve been eyeing the RE4 Remake but I still need to beat 2. Overall went over my budget by 15$
Got Absolum. Not the biggest discount, but I played the demo some time back and it kept lingering in my mind. Really looking forward to play co-op with my wife.
5 euros for the entire Metro series (2033, Last Light, Exodus, plus the expansions) is insane.
The first two games were already given away before multiple times for free. Not that surprising but good for anyone who missed those.
Got the Dead Space remake for 6 bucks. I need to stop buying games … my backlog is big enough
While true, it’s an amazing remake and definitely worth 6 bucks
That is literally the only game I’m even interested in from EA (that I don’t already own one way or another), but the thought of paying them any amount of money is giving me the Nesquik rabbit testicular torsion.
my backlog has like 400 games now, i will not buy anything this sale…
Me when I lie
And now your game library has a function where you can easily pull up all the unplayed titles too.
Same, coming up on three years without a Steam purchase for me. Stay strong! :D
i got to work on my backlog!
Go back to my 300hr save on Factorio
Noob
Get stuck on Gleba again.
anything that looks fun, and isn’t some aaa garbage slop.
if the discount is 50% or more, I also won’t touch it under the assumption there’s 700dlcs, season passes, and 4 stores within the game.

Is that a super common occurrence? Sure, that may happen sometimes, but I can’t say I have seen it so often that it can just be assumed whenever I see a high discount.
No, it is not.
Just block Paradox and you’ve removed 90% of them.
cant you refund the game if it has 700 dlcs, season passes and 4 stores?
so many amazing games have discounts of over 50%
currently, terraria, celeste, and rabbit and steel are discounted and are all amazing games with no dlcs or stores that use irl currenciesYou can see the DLCs on the store page before buying, there’s no surprises.
what’re you sellin?
is that all stranger?
HEHH HEHH HIHH HEH… thank you…
Trying to decide between Abyssus and Jump Space. Mostly trying to figure out if my friends will have any free time for the forseeable future to play it, since we started getting back into Payday 2 after spending a long while on Vintage Story
Considering Grim Dawn and / or Binding of Isaac Rebirth.
Isaac is fantastic. With all the expansions, it’s hundreds of hours of goodness.
Grim Dawn didn’t really click with me. None of the classes I tried felt good, and the constellations stuff is hard to work with. There’s a lot of options scattered around, and I feel like I have to read and dozens of things to plan out a coherent build. Or use a guide, which is un-fun.
Path of Exile 2 is my current arpg
After my first 50 hours of grim dawn, I discovered there is a filter field on the constellation map, allowing you to see the constellations that buff a specific characteristic/competence 🤦🏼♂️
I really loved grim dawn, I did a summoner build and had a great time then suddenly hit a wall in difficulty where the A.I. ignored my pets and assassinated me making my build completely unusable. But it was a great 20 hours, felt like my first Diablo 2 run where you just completely fuck up your build but enjoy it anyway
Binding of Isaac is a great game, go for it!
what’re you buying?
Seemingly nothing. Discounts on the items on my wishlist are rather mild.
My cart currently (although I’m not sure I’ll pull the trigger on all of them):
- The Drifter - 20% off (The game I’m most looking forward to playing at the moment. Was hoping for a bigger sale but it never seems to go below 20% so might just pull the trigger).
- Roadwarden - 75% off (Dirt cheap and I’ve heard good things about the writing.)
- Road 96 - 80% off (One dollar off the all-time low and I’ve heard great things. Procedurally generated road trip sounds interesting.)
- The Banner Saga 2 - 85% off (Played the first one and loved the setting, story and writing. Should probably play the sequel at some point).
- The Sinking City Remastered - 85% off (Found out about this because of the upcoming sequel. Haven’t played a detective game in a while and this looks decent.)
- Wanted: Dead - 80% off (Made by ex-Team Ninja people who worked on the first two 3D Ninja Gaidens. I’ve heard some mixed things but I’m morbidly curious. I don’t think this is a great game, but it could be fun for a single playthrough for the novelty of it. It is pretty unhinged and might be charming for it).
Also looking at Trepang2, Hell Is Us and ROUTINE but I’m not sure they’re my vibe at the moment.
wanted: dead is great fun and very short - finished on normal my playtime is 13 hours and i died a lot. there’s some minigames and new game+ to squeeze some extra out of it if you want
Would you say Normal was a fun challenge or would you recommend just playing on Easy? I’ve heard some not great things about the game’s balance.
it’s been a little while but apart from some spikes at bosses i’d say the difficulty curve is U shaped, as you get the hang of combat and unlock abilities from the skill trees the mid game might get boring on easy. it ramps up near the end but if you die enough times in a row the game will ask you on the continue screen if you want to drop the difficulty, so i’d say start on normal
Thanks!
It’s hard for me to justify buying anything since my job is so crap. I have the money, I just feel spiteful and angry at capitalism.
you hiring?
You atleast have a job :\
Nothing is really jumping out to me.
I may do another run of cyberpunk during rainy season since it’s about all my PC can do and upgrading is basically impossible right now.
I just finished my ~yearly run of Skyrim (with mods other than just skyui for the first time this time).
I used to play a lot of 7 Days, but they lost me when they started adding triggers in POIs that automatically alerted zombies, opened doors, etc. and TFP’s general bullshit after that.
The only other two games I’ve played this year are Last Caretaker (it was alright but had too many performance issues and bugs at the time), and Peglin which I’m also kinda over.
Cyberpunk is one of the moste demanding games out there btw.
Yeah, I can’t play it with very high settings. My PC is probably about 6-8 years old and has no upgrades (and wasn’t bleeding edge when I built it, but not horrible either)
I just saw that you can get the remastered collection of Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert for 4 EUR, brilliant!
The Binding of Isaac + all DLC is like $5. Definitely jumping on that.
I have the original one and I might just do this to get it to work well on the deck. The OG version is kinda janky control wise.
Ah glad you mentioned that because I had the base game on my wishlist and saw it for under $2 and just added that.
But now, looking more closely, I’m a bit confused. I see the DLC bundles, but only one of the DLCs (other than the soundtrack) has a price, though the others are a mix of Free and N/A. Going into bundle details does show a price for the N/A ones but I’m just confused about what’s going on there. Are the DLCs only available through the bundles and that’s why they don’t have their own prices unless you dig a bit?
Anyways, they are all 90% off.
Though with the way valve handles bundles, at least it isn’t really an issue, whatever is going on. It’s refreshing that they don’t try to nickel and dime you and even warn you if you have a game in a cart when a bundle with that game is cheaper (because you already have the other games and it still gives you the bundle discount without needing to buy those games again).
