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

[–] Ossay@hexbear.net 58 points 3 months ago

instant gender transition, 100% effectiveness covid mask

the dream

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

Two bracelets

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

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

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think I'm gonna pick up Baldurs Gate 3

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

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

[–] magi@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Waiting for the right price for this one too

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 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

FTL is really good, halberds go brrrrr

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah my only regret is not trying it years ago, just installed the Multiverse mod after completing a couple runs and it's wild how much content is added.

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

[–] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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 14 points 3 months ago

I miss the more frequent 90% sales

[–] Darthsenio_Mall@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

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

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

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months 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

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Yhea; Is that guy tiny or Is that videocard huge? Also that shape Is unusual for a videocard.

[–] abc@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Yhea; Is that guy tiny or Is that videocard huge?

the retail box is pretty big and that's not even the same edition as the one he's holding in the pic

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Woa im guessing that does not fit in most cages.

Some great deals for great games:

Gothic 1, 2 and 3 - 4€

STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl - 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 13 points 3 months ago

TES III: Morrowind - 6€

There's a currently a Humble Bundle with Morrowind and a bunch of other games, though. https://www.humblebundle.com/games/summer-games-done-quick-2024

[–] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

OpenMW might be a better pick, lots of stuff you usually mod into BethMW is built into OpenMW, like shadows, UI improvements, optimization, etc. It also runs much smoother.

[–] EmDash@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

OpenMW still needs the files from Morrowind.

ps5, 4090 AND a cool shirt? hell yeah

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] RION@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I'm kinda salty that I'd still have to pay full price for WoA even if I own all of Hitman 2 + Hitman 1 (the latter as add-ons for 2) >:(

if I get a job before the sale ends I might buy it as celebration

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Tim Rogers

Insert Credits

Damn, those are some names I haven't heard in a very long time.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I've only recently gotten into them. Thanks to my superpower of being able to listen to a full audiobook every day at my job, I've listened to scores of backlog.

Can't wait for Tim to put out another video any year now

The box for that video card is bigger than my entire computer tower

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What kinds of genres are you interested in? I can make some recs.

As for personal pickups, got MGR and Pizza Tower. I also bought Fear and Hunger 1 and 2, I am sus of them but a Survival Horror JRPG sounds too interesting to overlook at their prices. Grabbed Tunic as well, Crow Country, and Hylics 2. Also grabbed Faith: The Unholy Trinity and Crosscode with New Home for easier Steam Deck use.

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

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

Pthologic 2 Bachelor route isn't out yet so no.

[–] save_vs_death@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

i always wait until the last days because some stuff isn't discounted until then

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

I'm going to recommend some lesser known games.

  • Lunistice, a 3D platformer with a 90s polygon graphics aesthetic.
  • Star of Providence, a roguelike twin stick shmup. Used to be known as Monolith until they changed it for copyright reasons, but the cool thing is that there used to be DLC, but it's now included with the game.
  • Ex-Zodiac: what if Nintendo actually made a good new Star Fox game? I think this one is a little too difficult, but it's still worth playing.
