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.
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!

Bought BG3 at a discount! 💪
Enjoy. One of the best games ever made.
Not to be a contrarian, the game is good, but I seriously don't understand how it's one of the best games ever made. Just my opinion no one asked for, but I know I can't be alone. Only other game I can think that's more overhyped is breath of the wild.
Sounds like those just weren't your type of game. Chances are I could toss a rock at work and hit someone who thinks COD is the best franchise on the planet. Not saying you're wrong, your opinion is valid, just that to people who lean even a little more towards that kind of experience, to them these games are gold.

Facts sister/brother, spit your shit indeed!
Everyone knows the best games ever made belong to the King's Quest series by Sierra.
/j...mostly...
Ah, Sierra. The game company almost singlehandedly responsible for creating a generation of masochists.
You're still right.

Agreed. Also a good time to buy it. Act 3 was so buggy on release but they've been shooting out patches non stop for the last year almost
I’m 100 hours in and just about to wrap up the story (I think). And I’m gonna go back and replay because I skipped a TON in acts 1 and 2. It’s such a good game

Dear Ubisoft.
This is what a AAAA game looks like.
It's honestly the only modern game worth $70 imo. One campaign run is like 126+ hours. Additional playthroughs are possible from other characters, which tells the story from different perspectives. Can go to areas you missed in the first playthrough, too :)

BG3 is the only game I choose to bought at full price. It's well deserved.
Just bought and played through Pony Island. $.75 and 2.5 hours later, a nice little experience.
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.

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. :/
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.

is it spring? i have completely lost track of the flow of seasons at this point. Its like the game of thrones weather but every other day instead of every ten to twenty years
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?
https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/100CozyGames
makes me think of this, but these are “free”?

Alright what games should I be getting this time?
But the real question is which ones will sit and gather dust in our libraries!

Orange box again
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.
Goodbye, money.
If you buy Backpack Battles you can get a copy of Slay the Spire for free ... just sayin'. I mean I am totally not hoping for a lot of people to hop on Backpack Battles, so I will have a lot of people to play against forever. 😏 It has a demo, so no blind buying necessary. It is Early Access but worth every Cent in my eyes.
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.

cries in steam is no longer a viable store where I live
Why is that? What happened?
I'm not in an affected country, but from what I can gather from what happened most recently:
Steam changed their pricing policy in relatively poor countries from localized affordable prices to strictly usd equivalent because people in other countries were using vpns to make accounts in those poor countries to get games for what would be pennies for them.
I don't remember which countries were involved in the first place, but in those countries now where they don't make as much money on average, but everything is much cheaper, some steam games can cost the equivalent of a month's salary.
That's why the store isn't viable in those countries anymore.
Edit: Here's a source

Fellow rhythm gamers, the DJ Max Portable 3 DLC is 80% off, get it for the best version of Supersonic.

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!

Grabbed Fate of Ort. Never heard of it but I love small indie games.
