snagged some chill games, Sim City 4, Unpacking, and Lego Builders
Goodbye, money.
is it spring? i have completely lost track of the flow of seasons at thus point. Its like the game of thrones weather but every other day instead of every ten to twenty years
Just bought and played through Pony Island. $.75 and 2.5 hours later, a nice little experience.
Bought that game years ago as a joke and it ended up actually being a cool indie game lol
Great game!
Huge fan of that game. Can’t wait for the second one
If you haven’t played it already - Inscryption - by the same author - is also really good.
… and I should lay off the emdash for the rest of the night.
Finally gonna play the first 3 games of The Longest journey and Dreamfall. I am convinced Funcom are great story tellers but awful mmo creators. See Anarchy Online, The Secret World, Conan Exiles. Great story telling. Terrible mmos.
I loved Anarchy Online back in the day. I don’t think I ever did anything particularly in depth on it, but I remember being proud that I had an in game apartment and a flying car thing.
Secret world had such a good setting. Unfortunately it wasn’t a good MMO. But damn those riddles were cool. And I had to look up most of them because they were hard and you often needed outside sources.
Ohh I played those so long ago during a really difficult time of my life, they were definitely a fun escape and the story felt well suited to a point and click.
Alright what games should I be getting this time?
Orange box again
But the real question is which ones will sit and gather dust in our libraries!
At least 9/10 have in the past, because my thought is that surely I will get to them in a few months well after the refund window.
I leave a few large installed games I don’t play in my library to remind me to pace my purchases. Now I’m down to 3/4 gathering dust!
That said, don’t regret any that I picked up but didn’t end up working out.
That’s the neat part, all of them!
It’s soooooo good. I second this.
It’s not on sale, lol. Well, it is, but on Fanatical.com.
That’s surprising. I guess the publisher didn’t get the memo?
I just bought Brotato for like $3.74, because I just finished 100%ing Vampire Survivors on my Steam Deck.
Mandatory you should own Stardew Valley by now, and his big v1.6 update finally comes out next week.
Hades is on sale for like $12.50. It’s on sale for $12.50 more than it’s not on sale, really.
Red Dead redemption 2 and two spider man games are also on sale.
Really, it’s a steam sale. Just buy everything that’s at least 40% off till you’re broke. My backlog is probably already bigger than I have years left.
I’m VERY tempted to buy Fallout 4: Game of the Year edition due to my hype for Fallout: London (which releases in April of this year), but I’m worried of getting burned if it turns out to be a bad/disappointing mod. :/
Same boat man. Tough call.
Buy it, don’t play it so you keep play time under 2 hours, refund it if it turns out to be a disappointment, keep it if not!
Or just wait for the reviews, and then the next sale. These Steam sales aren’t one-off special offers, they happen a few times every year.
If you liked FO3 you’ll like 4.
It’s a lot stronger mechanically than 3 or NV - shooting is a lot less janky and the gun customization adds some great emergent quests.
The Boston of FO4 has its moments - a certain duck pond stands out to me in particular - but aside from Nick Valentine the questlines are largely forgettable.
Still, the core game loop is a lot of fun - go here, blow stuff up, scavenge bits to upgrade your stuff.
As a longtime Fallout fan (came for the isometric apocalypse, stayed for the 3D googie architecture) I still put 80 hours into FO4.
It’s a good fuckin’ game. It’s just competing with the legacy of a lot of other great games in the series.
FO4 was…okay imo. It pales in comparison to NV and 3 imo though.
As someone who couldn’t tolerate F3/NV because they paled in comparison to 1/2, I actually really enjoyed 4. It lost a lot of the engine jank and felt like a decent FPS with light RPG mechanics, wearing the aesthetics of Fallout.
4, for it faults, is a wonderful framework for mods and survival playstyles.
Enjoy!
If you’re still considering it, you can get it for like $10-$15 on GOG. Same price of steam but DRM Free, and it’s almost always onsale.
With the state of free to play games, looking at you, the finals, I can’t justify buying games I’ll never even have time to play
…which is fine. The finals is great!
I’ve been curious about The Finals, it looks fun. Is it easy to get into? I worry about toxicity in multiplayer because I’m not great at team based games.
It’s excellent, and I mainly play with randoms. The toxicity not so bad if you accept the BS that comes with random partners. Personally I have only dealt with some shithead teens and one guy who got mad I kept healing him. You get quitters quite a bit like in any PVP game, but it fills quickly. I have voice chat disabled 90% of the time, since pinging is in the game. The destruction is peak physics destruction in a multiplayer game, some of my favorite moments in any game have come from the pure chaos of things falling apart in the Finals. They also added a new 5v5 mode that feels way less frustrating and more casual (to me at least).
I imagine it’s even better if you’ve got a trio of well coordinated players, I’ve certainly played against some nasty trios in my 80 hours. Personally I think this is the most unique PVP shooter out right now, and it’s extremely polished for F2P.
Turn off voice chat and have a great time :)
It’s a toxic hellhole
Well it’s multiplayer 🤷
Yeah sadly you can’t get away from it these days.
Fellow rhythm gamers, the DJ Max Portable 3 DLC is 80% off, get it for the best version of Supersonic.

Grabbed Fate of Ort. Never heard of it but I love small indie games.
Sorry but Dragon’s Dogma 2 releases next week and I won’t need to buy any other games for a while after that.
Somehow the game is 100$ Canadian, I really want to play it but i’m definitely waiting a while. Gonna mention Millenia, which comes out in 9 days and is an excellent looking civilization competitor, i’m definitely looking forward to that.
Yes, but what if you just impulse buy 5 or so games that you might want to play someday before DD2?
My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control.
why is my credit card balance suddenly $500?
I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away. I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away. I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away.
OO $35 for every Yakuza game!
Thanks! I have just bought a bunch of new games I will most likely never play.
I am a game collector. I don’t play them, I just collect them.
Steam Deck has been a game changer. Easier to play a crappy game for 10 minutes on a handheld while watching tv.
Make sure the virtual packaging is never opened!! The moment that “hours played” marker isn’t 0 anymore, it looses all collectability value
thank you for easing my personal self-loathing a bit!
I put this in turnbased mode to maximise every second of time down there. Managed to save almost everyone. I did the same for the area with the fire in act 1. Highly recommend making use of stopping to time in this game.
I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!
What’s the name of the game?

makes me think of this, but these are “free”?
I think the DLCs cost money.
Dadlyni feel like I own everything I want. And will never play, ans bew games discounts aren’t worth it.
