I should play the games I got last time.

[–] anakin78z@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

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.

Mina the Hollower, and it's not even on sale. And I still feel smart, looking over the shit on sale in my wishlist

[–] vrihaspati110@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I had already pirated and played through Pathfinder :WOTR, and since it was heavily Discounted (600rs=around $4) I finally bought iy with all the dlc.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not yucking anyone's yum, just noticing how the only game I was interested in isn't on sale, yet it's good enough that I'm not even annoyed

[–] vrihaspati110@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Oh man!!! didn't know that I replied to your comment. I was commenting on the post.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 1 points 5 hours ago

Ha lol no worries

I've been playing through the first Hollow Knight and don't know why I slept on it for so long (but am glad I did as I get to currently experience it).

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 1 points 14 hours ago

I loved that game, I 100%'d it. Not sure about achievements though, those kinds of games usually have dumb achievements (looking at you Ori with the speed run and no hit achievements)

[–] kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I still miss the steam sale delivery girl

[–] kepix@lemmy.world -3 points 7 hours ago

are you really into 13 yo girls?

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

You can download a Steam Deck intro video where Game Mode boots up with her walking up to deliver a package.

[–] geekwithsoul@piefed.social 25 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 44 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

You atleast have a job :\

I think I’m gonna pick up Little Kitty Big City and I don’t care who judges me for it!

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Stray is the best cat game, but big city is great too

[–] Snowcano@startrek.website 5 points 10 hours ago

Oh yeah, played the crap out of stray too! Just can’t go wrong with a decent cat game.

Cuboid Keeper was already on my wishlist and showed up as the cheapest game at 1.59 CAD. Notable because it currently has a 100% positive rating (though only 11 reviews). Released in 2019, too. I added the game to my wishlist because the same people (person? Website seems to suggest it's just one guy) made Eventide Matter, a short space resource gathering/building/upgrading game.

[–] Runecrush376@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (4 children)

my backlog has like 400 games now, i will not buy anything this sale...

[–] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 65 points 1 day ago

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Go back to my 300hr save on Factorio

5 euros for the entire Metro series (2033, Last Light, Exodus, plus the expansions) is insane.

Nothing, I moved to GOG, who is also having their Summer Sale.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They call it the SS over there.

[–] clucose@lemmy.ml 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

One little mistake and everyone is calling you a Nazi…

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

It was a series of related bad mistakes. Not just one.

The Binding of Isaac + all DLC is like $5. Definitely jumping on that.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

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).

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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] jinwk00@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

Wolfenstein?

[–] Snowcano@startrek.website 12 points 1 day ago

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!
