@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 Yup. This why my wishlist is so long tho. When you have 1700 things on there, the big sales will *always* have something good in em for me. I don't mind playing something I added on a decade ago 🤪

@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. 😂

@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.
