I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn’t hurt much.
None, because I bought everything on the store I wanted in the last 50 seasonal sales. 😫
UFO 50, In Other Waters, Planet of Lana, The Last Game, Genome Guardian, La-Mulana 2, Stacklands DLC…And a steam deck. I decided to finally get the deck before we might get tariffs and UFO 50 was my main purchase for handheld play.
Lastly, I really enjoyed Moonring during this sale period but that is available for free. Thought I should give it some cred despite not fitting your prompt.
Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.
I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it’s very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I’m eager to play the sequel.
I have too much of a backlog of games i haven’t played yet. I did not buy anything. Friendly reminder to play your playlist before buying a new game.
Confirm if you are not robot:
Nothing, I’m from Argentina and now if I buy a game I can’t eat for a weak.
Sorry to hear that. Sail the high seas with no worries. You can still contribute to digital preservation of games by seeding. But don’t worry if you can’t do that.
I hope things get better for you!
Im seeding as no one with my 4tb disk and 30mb of upload 💪
I haven’t played any game I bought last autumn sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯
🤣
Oh, shit, there’s a sale?
https://store.steampowered.com
Hmmm… old games I already own, games I won’t bother downloading…
Epic Mickey Rebrushed for $30 isn’t bad.
Space Marines II for $47.99 needs a bigger discount…Project Zombiod and about to buy Portal Knights.
Project Zombiod
Project Zomboid has been in early access for over 10 years. It was released into early access on Nov 8, 2013, and it’s STILL not finished!
Cool?
I got a steam deck last spring, before that I’ve not done any gaming since I had a PS2 so I’ve got a good twenty years of games to catch up on. It’s a bit frustrating how crap I am at gaming, particularly with shooters. I’m trying some different things to try and figure out what I’m into. I recently finished bioshock, so I just bought bioshock infinite. Also alien isolation, Alan wake, resident evil, and Uncharted legacy of thieves collection. I don’t get a lot of screen time but I’ll find time to try em out and see what grabs me.

Since you have a Steam Deck, did you experiment with gyro and trackpad aim? I suck at controller aiming as well but that makes it so much easier.
Hmm no I haven’t. Thanks, maybe I should give it a try. I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick? I’ve not used gyros at all, does that require tilting the device? Yeah I seem to be enjoying FPS games but I’m frustrated by how shit I am even on easy mode! I used to be good at unreal tournament way back but seems like games have come a long way since then and I’ve lost the knack.
I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick?
You can combine as well. I usually use the stick on the left hand and the trackpad on the right one. You can also go back and forth while playing.
does that require tilting the device?
Yep, you can set it to activate only if your finger is resting on the right joystick. Very useful for precise movement, just bring the camera in an approximate direction with the stick and do the rest with the gyro control.
For the more popular games there’s usually a few community profiles you can download and try before messing with Steam Input yourself.
Hmm I’m not sure I like the idea of tilting the device - with the steam deck you’re tilting the screen too. Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?
But I’m definitely gonna try your trackpad suggestion. Thanks, I’ll see how it goes. Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?
Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?
Depends on the sensitivity you configure, usually you only tilt a few degress. I do prefer it on a Dualsense controller though with no display attached to the controller.
Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?
Usually for instances where I have time to aim. I have seen quite a few people who are really good with the trackpad but I’m more of a mouse or gyro control guy.
Trackpad rules in strategy games though.
Psychonauts 2, 90% off.
Oh that’s a good deal and I’ve been waiting years for it to get cheap! Time to finally play it.
Tempted to get Hades for $10, but it’s a game that makes me angry.
If dying over and over again is what’s making you angry, turn on God Mode. The story is amazing. Without God Mode, I would have thrown it on the heap of games started that never hooked me. It was worth setting aside my pride to see a beautiful, intriguing set of stories and relationships unfold.
I did turn on God Mode… still suffering. I suppose I’ve just gotta keep dying until I don’t, but I haven’t had the energy for that lately.
I kinda wish I had. Maybe I still will… 50 hours in I finally got my first escape and I now find I’m struggling to go back to it because it just keeps getting harder lmao. I just wanna tell Dusa how great she is.
Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.
All DLCs are now on simple Deluxe and Ultimate edition.
Might as well grab it before gone.
That game was great. I might pick it up…
Edit. I’m not sure what the difference is between deluxe and ultimate but for a couple more dollars i got the ultimate. Might as well while it’s still available.
Absolutely nothing, like in the past like 5 years.
Currently (re)playing all Half-Life and Portal games in order they were released.

*sigh*
!patientgamers@sh.itjust.works works too
I’m really tempted to pick up Psychonauts 2 which is currently 90% off.
