Still unemployed so I'm not even looking. If capital doesn't want to hire me, they can't have any more of my money.
Looking at how few places are hiring now compared to 2 years ago is honestly terrifying.

gmg and fanatical still cheaper for most titles.
that said I’ve been trying to load my steam wishlist for like an hour now.

Me too. It's the usual steam servers having issues as soon as a sale starts.
Kerbal space program at $4 is such an insane deal.
KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.

Bit meah honestly
Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.
I've been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it's 50% again now.
I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I'll regret it in the Summer sale… it's 55% again.
Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.
I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs (for Risk of Rain 2) and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: „It wasn‘t“)

All these have been on my wishlist for ever. Finally made the purchases today.
- Stardew Valley
- Disco Elysium
- Kerbal Space Program
Edit to add Disco Elysium has been refunded. Thanks everyone for the advice.
Dear God no. Refund Disco Elysium if you can. Some shady asshole ended up stealing the game from the original creators so any purchases you make ends up lining the pockets of the thieves.
The original creators have actually encouraged people to pirate the game instead.
Check the mega thread here to get started. The game is excellent, just don't give your money to the slimy suit that stole the game.
Awesome, thank you. Refund requested
Disco isnso good. But even the devs said they would rather have it that people pirate the game bacause they got fucked over and don't make money of the game anymore.

Summer Stale.
I miss the old sales, when games had deep discounts and the deals cycled like every 2/4/6/8 hours.
consumerism is a disease. i can't believe I'm still seeing people asking for gamified fomo bullshit.

One of my favorite games of all time, The Talos Principle, is on sale for $5. There's a remastered version but honestly the original holds up really well. It's a first person puzzle platformer game similar to Portal but the main point is the story, which is a really thought provoking philosophical exploration of humanity, machine consciousness, and self determination. It is legitimately the most interesting game I've played in the past 5 years and it has really caused me to think about these topics in ways I hadn't before.
Myself I am buying Persona 5, Pizza tower, and the Phoenix Wright trilogy. I have been wanting to play Persona 5 basically since it came out, and I got to try Pizza Tower a few weeks ago at a friend's house and really loved it as a fan of the Wario Land games. Phoenix Wright is just nostalgic for me and there really aren't similar games out there.

Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!
All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.
Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That's just taking tax off and nothing else.

Elden ring only 40% off? I feel betrayed
Since Elden Rings success, fromsoft games don't get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.

Seems like the store is down or not loading, at least for me. My bank account is happy at least.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.
My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I'll probably drop 20 or so. I really don't need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I've only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn't include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I've snagged over the years.

~~Bah. Bought Animal Well for $18 last night, but just saw now it was included in a bundle for $7.~~
Edit: praise steams refund policy
Edit2: Jesus christ I'm an idiot
7 bucks? Saw that and immediately opened steam.
Am I missing something? That's the only bundle I found for animal well...
I'm sorry:(( I'm dumb.
I have Dredge already, and I had bought Animal Well for $18 last night. That left Inscryption as the final game in the bundle. Steam dynamically prices games in the bundle and since I already had two games, I saw the bundle as $7 and got confused.
I literally just refunded animal well, waited for the refund confirmation, went to rebuy animal well in the bundle, and saw the bundle was now priced at $24 (because I still already have Dredge).
Sorry I got your hopes up :(
