Stupid Winter Steam Sale. How dare Valve take my money. I gotta say tho, 22 games for 30 USD is a pretty good deal. Yes, they are all already installed on my #SteamDeck. #CoSoGaming
@blackknight95857669 I got some Steam gift cards for the holidays, and it's like playing Tetris trying to decide the games to fill up the exact amount of funds. Hooray for the deals, though!
@tyote "well, what's 4$ over. not that big a deal. ... maybe just one more to make it an even 10..."
@blackknight95857669 That's always how it goes. 😅 "This game hardly ever goes on sale, though... better make it $20 over."
@tyote I tend to go with a mood or theme these days. "Think I'll get a few point-and-clicks this time. Want me some adventures and silly puzzles." or "Feeling jumpy lately, maybe some platformers."
@blackknight95857669 That's a better way to go about it. I'm still in the gut feeling phase, ha.
@tyote Yeah, I rem them days from when I was a youngster, going into the local rental place to rent NES/SNES games and having to decide what I would play for the weekend based on the box art. Boy did I get burned a lot, lol.
@blackknight95857669 Man, I got burned so many times that way. Then I found stuff like Smash 64 and the opposite happened, thankfully.
@tyote I just resolved to be more informed so I started subbing to gaming mags in the 90s/got to know the clerks at Game Crazy (RIP) who would give me last month's issues that didn't sell lol. Once the internet became a real viable thing in the early 2000s I got a PC and started following stuff online. It's impossible to keep up with EVERYTHING these days tho. So many games released every day 😵
@blackknight95857669 It got easier but it's still not easy... plus, being an adult and having to afford most of it yourself tends to make you more selective, lol.
@tyote Indeed. Game Pass and PS+ def help with that these days.
@blackknight95857669 Oh yeah, I'll have things on there forever because I'll haggle with the sales. "35%? Nah, I need at least 50 for that one." Then eight sales go by and it's still maxing at 35%. Then I'll randomly decide it's worth it and buy it. 😂
