I don't get it she picked a hot gamer boyfriend, what were the other two wishes?

[-] Ossay@hexbear.net 57 points 2 days ago

instant gender transition, 100% effectiveness covid mask

the dream

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

Two bracelets

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

I too wish that people in public places would mask. Good wish, dude, you deserve those video games

[-] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

I might buy the metal gear collection and some indie titles. Kinda want to buy more but I've already got such an insane backlog.

[-] daniyeg@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

nothing. since steam neutered the turkish and argentinian local prices everything's unaffordable for me now. I'm destined to sail the high seas whether i want it or not.

[-] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

The deals seem better this year but why buy anything if I'll just play the same 3 games?

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago

I think I'm gonna pick up Baldurs Gate 3

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

can't recommend it enough, definitely one of the games of all time

I got FTL for $2.50 and finally pulled the trigger on Dwarf Fortress even though the discount wasn't great, I know the devs are trying to afford cancer treatment in Hellworld.

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

FTL is really good, halberds go brrrrr

I wish the sales were as awesome as they were a decade ago.

That said, I’m thinking about picking up Balatro, but I feel no urgency to care since it’s only 10% off. Like, that $1.50 difference isn’t all that compelling.

[-] magi@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

I miss the more frequent 90% sales

[-] Darthsenio_Mall@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

I'll put it on google drive if you want, it's like 150mb.

If I used my immunity-from-contracting-and-transmitting diseases wish on myself and my partner, I would mask anyways because explaining that I don't need to wear a mask because a supernatural force granted me 3 wishes is harder than just showing people that hot gamers should mask too

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

Picked up Celeste and Prison Architect bc they cost next to nothing

Got Disco Elysium for my partner

And most importantly I got Workers and Resources Soviet Republic which is so fucking addictive and I can’t pull myself away from it

[-] HarrietTubman@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

I got Final Fantasy VII Remake. I've been working through the entire Final Fantasy series, mostly in order thanks to the pixel remasters. Currently having the time of my life with FFVII after being extremely disappointed with VI (which surprisingly has been my least favorite by far), and now have the option to play Remake immediately after if I want.

I considered Baldur's Gate 3 because everyone I know keeps gushing about how great it is. It just doesn't look very fun and there is no way I'm going to put down $48 on a video game.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

FF VI haters unite solidarity

[-] Yor@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

I bought celeste like a week before it went on sale :<

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

the good news is that you now have Celeste! It's a very special game

[-] Yor@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

true! I already beat it too. it's lovely

I bought deep rock galactic and have lost an average of three hours of sleep per night. I also bought class of '09 and I'm excited to try that.

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Very happy for the guy in the picture. Both that he can afford a 4090 and that his fuses can apparently handle a 4090.

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

i got the Vicky DLC, fallout 1, 2, and tactics bundle, probably gonna pull the trigger on workers and resources too. also I'm gonna get divinity 2 and try out the co-op with my gf

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

Money is really tight, so probably gonna keep playing Darkest Dungeon and finish up my second playthrough of Digimon: Cybersleuth.

[-] PurrLure@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

This might be the most mundane game I've bought so far, but I picked up Supermarket Simulator and liked it enough to mod it.

It's so fucking tedious, but I can't pull myself away once I get through the first day. burgerpain

[-] moonlake@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

Some great deals for great games:

Gothic 1, 2 and 3 - 4€

Disco Elysium - 4€ but apparently you should pirate it

TES III: Morrowind - 6€

Monster Train - 7€

Witcher 3 - 3€

Middle-earth: Shadow of War - 2€

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

ps5, 4090 AND a cool shirt? hell yeah

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

I picked up a legitimate copy of Hitman World of Assassination, which is games 1-3 of the current reboot. It was about 30 instead of about 90. I had recently pirated it after hearing its praises by the likes of Tim Rogers on the Insert Credits podcast. It's a hoot. It's a great sandbox and I'm even having fun when I lose. It's equally satisfying to pull off an intricate assassination as it is to scramble to try and recover a situation that's rapidly unraveling. Getting a legit copy gave me most of the game modes and challenges.

the deep discounts page is pretty nuts this year, too bad i have everything i want off the list

i picked up terra invicta for 30% off, it's pretty neat. the mod team that did Long War for XCom 2 built a 4x grand strategy with an alien invasion layer to give you a long-term goal beyond simple 'turn map my color' domination. get your research pumping, mine asteroids and the moon, develop a defense fleet to repel the aliens camping out beyond pluto's orbit, all while turning the whole solar system your color!

Square Enix fucking sucks at sales. I am not paying $22 for the anime pantyshot sequel to Yoko Taro's Wild Ride.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

Bought Disco Elysium and BG3 for my gf, and Tavern Master and Colony Ship for myself
