Are you gonna buy anything in the Steam Summer Sale?

I don't get it she picked a hot gamer boyfriend, what were the other two wishes?

I too wish that people in public places would mask. Good wish, dude, you deserve those video games

I wish the sales were as awesome as they were a decade ago.

That said, I’m thinking about picking up Balatro, but I feel no urgency to care since it’s only 10% off. Like, that $1.50 difference isn’t all that compelling.

I got Final Fantasy VII Remake. I've been working through the entire Final Fantasy series, mostly in order thanks to the pixel remasters. Currently having the time of my life with FFVII after being extremely disappointed with VI (which surprisingly has been my least favorite by far), and now have the option to play Remake immediately after if I want.

I considered Baldur's Gate 3 because everyone I know keeps gushing about how great it is. It just doesn't look very fun and there is no way I'm going to put down $48 on a video game.

Dead Space 2 is currently discounted to 3.99€ which is fair but I distinctly remember gifting it to someone a couple of years back and it costing less than 2 euros in whatever sale that was. Then you have the original 2008 Dead Space at 7.99€, twice as expensive, and they list a 5.99€ EA Play sub above the fucking game itself on the store page

The pessimist in me wants to say we're going to see less and less of deep discounts on old games in the future in favour of this fucking subscription bullshit

I think I'm gonna pick up Baldurs Gate 3

Picked up Celeste and Prison Architect bc they cost next to nothing

Got Disco Elysium for my partner

And most importantly I got Workers and Resources Soviet Republic which is so fucking addictive and I can’t pull myself away from it

I might buy the metal gear collection and some indie titles. Kinda want to buy more but I've already got such an insane backlog.

I got FTL for $2.50 and finally pulled the trigger on Dwarf Fortress even though the discount wasn't great, I know the devs are trying to afford cancer treatment in Hellworld.

If I used my immunity-from-contracting-and-transmitting diseases wish on myself and my partner, I would mask anyways because explaining that I don't need to wear a mask because a supernatural force granted me 3 wishes is harder than just showing people that hot gamers should mask too

I bought celeste like a week before it went on sale :<

Nothing... I probably would have bought some games, but I am unable to. Also I'm ok with only having one game (xonotic), since I do need to limit my distractions.

Square Enix fucking sucks at sales. I am not paying $22 for the anime pantyshot sequel to Yoko Taro's Wild Ride.

Check out the size of

The box for that video card is bigger than my entire computer tower

You can get some great indie games for a cheap price right now. Here’s some that you might not have heard of:

• One night, hot springs. A cute, free game about a trans girl going to a hot spring together with her friends. There’s an expanded version of this game called A Year of Springs, which is currently 30% off.
• Tails of Iron. Cool game about anthro rats vs frogs in a medieval setting. Currently 88% off.
• Spirit of the North and Seasons after Fall. In both of these you play as a fox, exploring the world and solving puzzles to progress. Currently 85% and 80% off.
• Exo One. A beautiful game that takes you on a journey through many different planets. There's no puzzles, you can just relax, enjoy the wonderful scenery and try to get your ball to the highest momentum possible. Currently 70% off.

For anyone who hasn't played it, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is $6 right now. Super worth.

Very happy for the guy in the picture. Both that he can afford a 4090 and that his fuses can apparently handle a 4090.

Not planning on buying anything this year, I have enough games to last a lifetime TBH

The deals seem better this year but why buy anything if I'll just play the same 3 games?

I realy want to recommend Dyson Sphere Program even though its not on a big discount sadly. 400h on that in the past. I'm also recommending Distant worlds 2 since its very good but perhaps a bit too expensive at full price.

I'm definitely going for X4: Foundations dlcs that I missed for the past 3 years.

i got the Vicky DLC, fallout 1, 2, and tactics bundle, probably gonna pull the trigger on workers and resources too. also I'm gonna get divinity 2 and try out the co-op with my gf

Money is really tight, so probably gonna keep playing Darkest Dungeon and finish up my second playthrough of Digimon: Cybersleuth.

Bought Disco Elysium and BG3 for my gf, and Tavern Master and Colony Ship for myself

Permanently Deleted

nothing. since steam neutered the turkish and argentinian local prices everything's unaffordable for me now. I'm destined to sail the high seas whether i want it or not.

the deep discounts page is pretty nuts this year, too bad i have everything i want off the list

i picked up terra invicta for 30% off, it's pretty neat. the mod team that did Long War for XCom 2 built a 4x grand strategy with an alien invasion layer to give you a long-term goal beyond simple 'turn map my color' domination. get your research pumping, mine asteroids and the moon, develop a defense fleet to repel the aliens camping out beyond pluto's orbit, all while turning the whole solar system your color!

ps5, 4090 AND a cool shirt? hell yeah

This might be the most mundane game I've bought so far, but I picked up Supermarket Simulator and liked it enough to mod it.

It's so fucking tedious, but I can't pull myself away once I get through the first day.

Some great deals for great games:

Gothic 1, 2 and 3 - 4€

STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl - 4€

Disco Elysium - 4€ but apparently you should pirate it

TES III: Morrowind - 6€

Monster Train - 7€

Witcher 3 - 3€

Middle-earth: Shadow of War - 2€

I picked up a legitimate copy of Hitman World of Assassination, which is games 1-3 of the current reboot. It was about 30 instead of about 90. I had recently pirated it after hearing its praises by the likes of Tim Rogers on the Insert Credits podcast. It's a hoot. It's a great sandbox and I'm even having fun when I lose. It's equally satisfying to pull off an intricate assassination as it is to scramble to try and recover a situation that's rapidly unraveling. Getting a legit copy gave me most of the game modes and challenges.

Might pick up the amogus DLC for Vampire Survivors. Maybe Balatro? Idk, nothing really calls to me.
