Darksiders 3 finally off the backlog. I liked it better than 2, but it was pretty buggy, like the DLC Void weapons becoming unselected at random all the time. The Force wall power was buggy and kind of slow as well. Took alot longer due to Super Mario Wonder and now SMRPG coming out. So now what series to play? Batman Arkham, Tomb Raider, or Halo? I'll probably try Cryptark along the way since it doesn't seem to be a long game.
Backpack hero is really fun. It eats time like crazy though.
It has some pretty drastic scaling, so you need to build power every level. But stuff like this is really fun to puzzle out:
they're trying really hard to make us care, but given the level of discounts offered on most titles, compared to past sales...
...how do we know what the discounts will be yet?
"not as good as they were before refunds"
So the mistake prices or having to habitually wait on flash sales to finally end before making a purchase?
Yeah, I don't miss that at all.
Mostly the thing for me is that usually Steam Sale prices are still worse than you find on random pages at any day of the year.
Generally speaking, I never buy Steam games on the actual Steam store. It basically always has the worst price.
So, hard to care about sales!
I generally don't do this with indie games since a lot of the keys you get elsewhere are people selling bundle or other keys and the developers are getting cut out.
Pretty much any significant publisher though? Fuck em, g2a all fucking day, 92.5% off yes please.

Buying Steam keys for indie games from the reputable sites is in fact one of the BEST ways to give them money. Because Valve only takes 30% if you buy directly from their store BUT also allows game devs to generate as many keys as they want to sell elsewhere and takes nothing from those sales. The only caveat Valve has with those keys is they can't be sold for less than what they're listed for on Steam, otherwise no restrictions.
Yeah but I've seen way too many devs post receipts from supposedly reputable sites showing they bought thousands of keys at as little as 5 cents on the dollar, and unsold keys end up on reseller websites a few hours after they leave the promotion.
My own reason for no longer buying indie games through any reseller is when my first and only payment dispute through cdkeys ended up being with a particular "legitimate" seller using the gray market as their clearance aisle.

The problem is what sites are reputable. There's sellers out there that get recommended a bunch because they're popular and don't seem shady but still buy keys on the grey market.
I doubt Humble or Fanatical would be on that list. They're pretty open that they buy directly from developers and publishers.

Eh, every sale something on my wishlist hits a historical low, so I don't have that complaint. Third party websites often undercut Steam prices during Steam sales too
I have played zilch recently because I'm still in the hospital, and at the pace this is going, I may celebrate Christmas here -.-

ive been there before in terms of long hospital stays because of my UC, it's the worst being stuck in a hospital bed/room for days/weeks on end. really hoping you get better soon and don't have to stay there until Xmas!

It seems there are some exceptions to that restriction. Elden Ring and Armored Core 6 were both sold via Fanatical, an official reseller that works with publishers, for a few bucks less than the listed Steam price.
I like supporting GOG and Steam, too. If I find a game through one of the means by which they showcase selected titles and/or recommendations, I'll wishlist it, or buy it if the price is right and the timing is right to take on a new game. Saving the shopping around for when I hear about the title through other venues.
Nothing personal. It's just business.

the main benefit with buying through Steam is their refund policy. Ive gotten a bunch of games on Steam that for one reason or other I didn't like, and as long as it's under two hours playtime, Steam will do a full refund
Teyon made a Terminator game and then they made Robocop.
Obviously this means we're getting Robocop vs Terminator as the sequel.
There are other famous movie robots. Perhaps a Short Circuit FPS.
"Johnny 5 is alive ... but you're dead, creep."
Lone wolf and cub
The wolf is a tank
with three drones
....
Phoenix/sandy drone
dragon/sun wukong drone
Tiger/pigsy drone
Tank is a turtle/dragon horse
You journey west with the child/tripitaka
Oh shit Robocop is the same guys that did Terminator Resistance? Gotta get that.
I remember when Terminator came out all the review sites went nuts over “why is this low budget shooter so high rated on steam?
Because its a Terminator game. It isn’t some wierd alternate timeline or modern retelling or expanded universe or anything like that. Someone just watched the first two movies and said “lets make a terminator game”. And it worked.
I kinda want to buy a Deck with a broken screen and replace that with a OLED screen, but based on GN teardown , maybe that's not possible?
Not a drop in replacement, at least.
I don't doubt the will be at least one entrepreneurial soul out there figuring out how to do it, but I half expect it to require some custom printed stuff for the project.
Last time I used isthereanydeal it showed me all these sites with sales on Starfield, but when I went to the sites they were about $20 more than isthereanydeal told me. I don't trust it any more.
I need to make a category called "not appropriate for whatever undiagnosed ADHD I have"
Ratopia and dismantled hit that.
Against the Storm is broken down into settlemetns and does not
edit
additionally, against the storm has enough UI features to let me know which plates I am failing to spin, where as unless I devote my entire brain to the game, I'm getting lost in Ratopia data.
Still, until I start drowning, great fun.
Edit: the ui is cute but quite terrible on pc.

ITAD has issues figuring out when sitewide coupons actually work for a specific game. Sometimes it just assumes it does but it's one of those "not valid on new releases" or it stacks a coupon valid on full price games with games already discounted.
It's really not a simple problem to solve and usually a quick glance can help show if it's stacking coupons.
Meanwhile I'm over here having mostly stopped using deals websites because they can't factor Humble's "I'm subscribed to Humble Choice" and GMG's XP thing.
And then I forget about that during sales and go "fuck it" and buy on Steam anyway.
(Or more commonly, "Ooh, there's a nice sale over here on that Assassi....oh, it redeems on Uplay or whatever the fuck Ubisoft calls their software now. Nevermind." )

Some did the same thing with Terminator but decided to make an RTS. Check out Terminator Dark Fate Defiance.

Ok fine, just because you didn't accept when when I was specifically watching for it, still counts.

As for https://isthereanydeal.com/ and the Steam browser extension https://augmentedsteam.com , I believe that the only use legit sites and avoid grey market on their searches.

But yeah, during a Steam sale, I will skim other legit sites who also tend to have their sales at the same time and see what deals are happening.

I would say not. Sounds like the OLED is basically Steam Deck 2.0.
