Me when I lie
And now your game library has a function where you can easily pull up all the unplayed titles too.
I still miss the steam sale delivery girl

You can download a Steam Deck intro video where Game Mode boots up with her walking up to deliver a package.
Yeah, but I already have the spooky scary Skeletons one. I should check to see of I can have a random one play each time, that must be an option.
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 :\
5 euros for the entire Metro series (2033, Last Light, Exodus, plus the expansions) is insane.
I've already got it, but Dishonored is $1.99 USD, and definitely worth it for ten times that amount even after all these years.
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
what're you sellin?
is that all stranger?
HEHH HEHH HIHH HEH... thank you...

My desktop is sluggish
My backlog too long
RAM price too high
KNICKS IN FIVE!!!!!
I think I’m gonna pick up Little Kitty Big City and I don’t care who judges me for it!
Edit: I bought it. Finally sat down with it this rainy weekend and played for 4 hours straight and had a blast. It’s so good. 😻
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.
Dishonored 1 full collection for 2 EUR?
DAMN!
I might buy it for some friends and maybe even a few give aways....
Clustertruck for 3 EUR?
YES! Brilliant game, I'll might pick up a few codes for later dispersal....
Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trillogy for 16 EUR?
Good price, I highly recommend it!
Half Life 2 for 2 EUR?
Nice, good time to pick it up if you haven't played it!
Horizon Zero Dawn for 30 EUR, decent price, nothing amazing, but worth it!
Party Hard for 2 EUR is brilliant!
Fantastic game, highly recommended!
Thank you for mentioning party hard! I think I had that back on my Xbox a decade ago. Time to try it again
Nothing, I moved to GOG, who is also having their Summer Sale.
No Dave the Diver on gog yet unfortunately
The only one I have my eye on (for now) is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and basically because it never gets discounted.
Could be fun to punch a few Nazis, even if only digitally.
And not just punching, but full-on wind up and let it rip homerun swings with a shovel to the face (which goes CLANG!! and breaks the shovel) just never got old. Highly recommend!
Scored me:
- Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition
- Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
- Talos Principle 1 & 2 + Reawakened Bundle
Not a bad haul
- Nier Automata (yes I seriously haven't played this yet)
- Silksong (yes... I know)
- Doom dark ages
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Hades 2
More obscure games
- Mewgenics
- Cozy Grove
- Find Matt's Cats (from the dev of Epic Battle Fantasy... If you haven't played them he's made more games since early flash days)
- Manor Lords
- Mount and Blade 2
RDR2! I was actually willing to pay full price for it just a week ago because I need a chill open world game to play after getting my wisdom teeth pulled next week. But then I saw No man's Sky in my library and got distracted playing that so I didn't buy RDR2. That was very lucky. I'll have to see which one ends up being the game I actually play.
I also picked up Half-Life Alyx. It's actually kinda surprising that I haven't played it yet after like 5 years of owning a VR headset, but I never played Half-Life 1 or 2 so I felt like I probably wouldn't have the context to really get it. I might finally get to playing those two soon so having Alxy ready to go makes sense!
Alyx really uses the VR very well, easily the best VR game I have played. Bonus that it is actually interesting on top of being good at VR.
Hoping to snag a Frame when they come out so I can finally play HL Alyx.
2 awesome games :) I really enjoyed both years ago. Alyx is the best VR action game I've played.
Rain World has been on my list for a while and it's currently 90% off, cheapest it has been since 2023. Definitely picking that up.
Check the bundles first, that 90% off may drop it to a whopping $1.87 if you own the other games.
what’re you buying?
Seemingly nothing. Discounts on the items on my wishlist are rather mild.
Idk, Dyson Sphere Program maybe. Been playing the shit out of Satisfactory recently.
DSP is great, def worth it if you like Satisfactory.
I also love Timberborn. It hits some of the same gameplay notes but with a very different vibe.
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.
Sales are looking really mid again. I skipped the Winter and Spring sales entirely.
I picked up God Of War: Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2 because the current sales are the lowest I’ve seen them. More than I usually pay for games but I know I’ll enjoy them.
Besides that I picked up a few cheap DLCs for games I play or will play in the near future.
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.
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.
Mina the Hollower, and it's not even on sale. And I still feel smart, looking over the shit on sale in my wishlist
I was waiting for the sale to buy Elden Ring or DS3. Been wanting to replay them, this time with mods. But it seems they skipped this sale... of course they did.
