I spent way too long thinking “my body is a machine…” was the title of a game lol. Incredible meme.
I had been saving up for Deltarune, avoiding spoilers for years (didn’t have time to even play the demo)
Nothing, absolutely nothing. My backlog is huge with games that have hours to play.
According to isthereanydeal, these sales aren’t nearly as good as they were last seasonal sale in June
Whelp, either GameBillet, GreenManGaming, GOG or pirqcy
Gamebillet has been killing it lately
This appears to be written in English, but I can’t make sense of it.
We must feed the backlog, always.
Number go up.
makes completion rates go down though, and adds an awful lot of zeroes (hours played)
net negative on the numbers, chief
We’re entertainment dragons.
We sleep upon the amassed collection of potential future fun in every unplayed game.
Once you try the game, you may realize that you don’t even like it.
Rookie move.
The Pathfinder games are on sale.
I might grab wasteland 2 and 3
I bought two:
-
ACE COMBAT™7: SKIES UNKNOWN - $4.79 (Flying makes me hard)
-
Detroit: Become Human - $3.99 (always looking for something to experience with my barely-gamer s/o)
Flying makes me hard
I am morally obligated to recommend Project Wingman (although it’s more expensive at a whole $12.49 right now)
I played it on Xbox, but I assume the PC version is just as good. Plus you can mod it so that
waifuWSO Prez shares the cockpit in every planeDamn you!!! making me pull out my wallet again! (thanks)
How is Detroit? I’m a barely gamer SO trying to find a co-op game that I enjoy
Just bought it yesterday, will update when we get into it!
Detroit is a great game if you like cinematic, story-driven experience. It’s like a Choose-Your-Own Adventure book, in video-game form. Kind of like an interactive movie.
Oh wow, that’s a great deal for DBH. I bought it for a bit more a few sales ago. Still haven’t played it yet, of course…

Welcome to Kowloon and The Swapper are both ones I’ve had on my list and both are about $2. Why not?
Besides that, I’m going to try and play some more Baldur’s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 during the holidays, as I’m still in the early stages of both.
Palworld. Even though it never goes below 20€
I was looking at Fallout 76 since its 90% off but what’s the concensus on it? Plan is to play with the wife.
I was really positively surprised by it! Picked it up two years ago and thought I’d spend a couple of hours in it. I’ve spent almost 200 hours in Appalachia by now - one of my favourite comfort games!
I like it a lot. It’s not my favorite of the games, but I think it’s a great game whether played in a public lobby or not. I do usually prefer a private lobby, but not always.
here is your reminder to take a peek over on GOG aswell. personally found steam’s offerings pretty lacking this year. GOG’s; less so.
Or just make sure you check isthereanydeal.
True, I however got a Steam voucher as a present recently so it made more sense to use it for this. GOG doesn’t do vouchers or do they? Couldn’t find it last time I looked, you can gift specific games though. I might just be blind.
Anyway, to keep with theme of the thread I got 3 games for my voucher:
Dave the diver
Tunic
The last campfire
I remember Stranglehold being mind-blowing for its time. I’m pretty sure I had a physical copy that is long gone, but 5 bucks is not much to see how it has held up.
Also strongly considering breaking my early access rule to check out Jump Space. The main thing holding me back is trying to get a few friends to pick it up as I don’t want the crew to just be me and a bot.
I highly recommend Jump Space if you can recruit your buddies! It’s pretty similar in terms of gameplay feel to Deep Rock Galactic - team play is pretty rewarding, goofing off won’t penalize you too hard. Worth every penny so far
I got Fallout 4’s DLC - primarily so I can play Fallout London. I also picked up X4: Foundations, and Fallout 76 as well. All were pretty heavily discounted.
Is Fallout London easy to mod on Steam? I read that it requires some extra step, compared to GOG? And since I have the Deck only, do you know if it is easy to install it on the Deck?
I’m not sure tbh, when I do mod it, I’ll post here.
Also curious about this. I didn’t want to do a whole new play through with a gog one but don’t really want the hassle of setting up the London mod with my steam version. Been holding off until I get more time to mess with it but the longer I go the more likely I just suck it up and start over on gog.
I have Fallout 4 but not the mods, plus 200Gb of free space is kind of rich, so I would better know how well it runs and if it is really worth it.
- Doom 2016 $4 -80%
- Neon White 2022 $10 -60%
- Inscryption 2021 $8 -60%
Never played Doom 2016 but I’ve heard it’s very good.
Doom 2016 was my game for last year and into early this year. For what it’s worth, I enjoyed it quite a bit once I got into it. I tried to start it a few times and that didn’t work out, but then suddenly last winter, it all just clicked.
I had also tried Doom Eternal, and that’s not my thing. Doom 2016 lets you play at your own pace, your own style, and make your own choices on how to play … mostly. Doom Eternal you basically have to play it the way THEY want you to play and use the weapons THEY want you to use and if you don’t then you’re in for an unfun struggle. Doom 2016 isn’t really like that, in my opinion and experience.
One of the yt gamers I watch made a comment about how by the end of Doom the final boss isn’t the mastermind, it’s you. The demons are trying to survive the doomslayer as you rip and tear
Inscryption is fantastic. Enjoy it!
It’s also available on gog (assuming you’re not one of those “I 💖 billionaires” folks)
- Shape of Dreams: Need to scratch that hack n slash itch. D4 is boring and PoE 2 ran horrible on my machine. New game but under $15.
- Cuphead: One of my kids has wanted to play this for years. Xmas present for him.
- Date Everything: The other kid wants this one. Xmas present. I dunno, man.
- The Seance of Blake Manor: Our family loves these kinds of games and it’s one of the only ways to get us all in a room. New game but under $15.
- Split Fiction: I hate the price still but my wife loved It Takes Two. Fiiiiiiine.
- Duck Detective The Secret Salami: Another family game.
- Echoes of the Plum Grove: I like this kinda stuff
- Capcom Fighting Collection 2: Man I love Power Stone.
- Astro Bot: Reviews are good enough to catch it on black friday deals.
- Spiderman 2: Loved 1 and Miles Morales.
Is Seance of Blake Manor the first Blue Prince-like? I’m very hyped about it too but I’m still waiting for more than -25% off. Let me know how you like it, Blue Prince was my GOTY so another game to scratch that itch is enticing.
That’s a great question. I’m not sure. I played Blue Prince and really liked it, but my family went and found Seance because they thought it was like Roottrees and Immortality.
Date Everything has the appeal of many known voice actors being involved in this silly story. It’s great fun to puzzle out all the voice lines - especially if youre fan of some of the actors.
Alright, this must actually be a thing because that’s what my kid said about Date Everything, too. The kid is way into voice acting.
Well, there are worse special interests. This way you’ll just get a theater kid - which has its own perks at times
Boy you called that shot. That’s exactly what I’ve got.
It takes one to know one ;) now you’ll get to find out which flavor of theater kid you’ll get - cosplay, writing, improv or a mixed bag
Got them the cosplay they wanted for Xmas. That’s their big gift.
And in this moment, I realized my kid fits some theater kid cosplay archetype that I didn’t know existed.
I picked up Ikaruga. I can feel the input delay, but it’s still fun.
My plan to work on my backlog this fall has utterly failed. Instead I’ve not been playing any games at all for the past month and a half, instead just working on a mod for STALKER Anomaly. Consequently I know in my heart of hearts that the right thing to do is not spend any money this sale. However, I am still looking at:
Tails of Iron (-92%)
The Banner Saga (-85%)
Bloodstained: Ritual of Night (-75%)
Virgo Versus The Zodiac (-75%)
Road 96 (-75%)
HYPER DEMON (-75%)
INMOST (-70%)
Trepang2 (-66% - if it was any lower I would just snap it)
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was fun. It did evoke feelings of nostalgia for me, since Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was one of my favorite games back in the late 90s (tied with Resident Evil) and still one of my favorites of all time. I’m personally not a huge fan of the art style and it does lack a bit of polish here and there, but overall good especially at 75% off. Hope you enjoy it.
Y’all got any recs for “AI sandboxes” in the vein of Rimworld and Stellaris? Stellaris is just borked now, and I’ve modded/played the hell out of Rimworld.
Dwarf fortress :)
Zomboid?
