From my amazon account this time.

Oh man, again thank you kind poster, this was a game on my wishlist and I've been dying to play this, I am cry!

And since I can't gift anything on steam because I just added a payment method, I'll do the best I can with this:

First person to quote me can have my 4 Portal 2 cards:

Chell x2
Intro
Destruction

O ;opve you, aka I love you.

 

[Caerith]

also all the transparencies in the thread are now set to matte black so they'll look a bit worse on a white/light gray background because if you're not using the dark theme then what the hell is wrong with you

Well...

[O]n flat-panel monitors (already estimated to be 75 percent of the market), displaying black may actually increase energy usage.

Wish the McPixel card prices didn't plummet so quickly. Was lucky and sold the Cow card for $0.60 right when they were released.

Thanks so much for Sine Mora. I am a big shmup fan but never got around to this game. I'm gonna enjoy this, thank you!

Now that Salsa is done with Animal Crossing she might catch up to Jase and I in Steam Thread posts.

I just can't compete with your outputs.

Seizure version is much better.

How about just finding another way to grab peoples attention.instead of messing around and triggering their epilepsy. lol

 

[1337Sauce]

Sorry if this seems a bit over-asked, but what is the best way to decide when I should purchase a game. I saw that flow chart earlier, but now everybody is talking about being patient. Is the order for buying Daily Deals > Flash Deals > Community Deals?

Basically, if I see something as a daily deal, should I just purchase it because that is most likely the cheapest it is going to get?

 

[v0rtikal]

SenshiManny: thank you sir.

 

[Chance Hale]

Just don't buy anything that isn't a daily deal, community pick, or flash deal because it will probably be one of those eventually(and subsequently a better deal). And it goes without saying but make sure the game you want isn't part of a publisher pack you want.

Do we know when the steam sale is going up? The hype it is as if E3 is on again.

dont buy anything that isnt highlighted as a time-limited thing (be it daily, flash, or whatever) until the last day of the sales.

Dailies, Flash, and Community deals are usually the same prices, they just occur at different times or are often repeats. So if its either one of the deals and you want the game get it.

Yes.

Flash deals are usually just as good and safe to jump on.

We don't even know for sure if there will be daily deals, flash deals or community deals. Just relax, the sale will start, we'll all sit down together and we'll work out the best way to go about it.

That's my favorite part of the sale.

Morning all! Sale day today! My first when I have a decent enough laptop to play everything, so I expect to be fully broke by the end of the sale.

Yea, idled for 4 hours and then when I finally get all 7 cards and check the market they're worth less than 20c each. Blah.

Anyway...

The actual order for buying is:

1. Pricing errors.
2. Daily/Flash/Community/Aquaman Deals
3. Last Day of Sale

What makes tomorrow exciting is the inevitable -75% on a publisher pack (for one hour only until they fix it) or an accidental overlap between Daily and Community deals resulting in -91% for a new game or something.

 

[Anustart]

man, got lucky in giving those portal 2 cards away, literally right after my internet went kaput and I'm getting some error saying my network doesn't fall within safe bounds, code 5.

If it comes back up I got one other item to give away.

 

[Chance Hale]

Hope steam offers a 1C Publisher Pack again, always so many titles I want there but I've over spent every time and had to pass.

Whatever happened to that third Death to Spies game?

 

[tickling]

Happy steam sale day. Getting ready to go to work and then come back to the sale and its a long weekend off till Tuesday

Pricing mistakes are the best ones. They feel like sales desgined especially for us.

If a Publisher has put games on discount on Steam, then they have likely inked a deal with Valve to do so.

If there was a sale on a title in the past, then there will be one in the future.

Wait a little, everyone rushes to sell fast and then prices go up a little.

and I took Tropico, thanks!

while it ussually goes like that; it isnt necessarely true

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I'm eying Dark Souls and Torchlight II primarily. I assume both will be discounted at least 50% at some point, so $25 total at worst.

The only thing that would change that is if the deal went sour and the game was removed from Steam entirely.

I've seen Dark Souls below $12, maybe even for $7.50, on Amazon and GMG. That will be your place to pick it up.

I'm planning on just using the $30~ I've made from selling cards which is why I'm looking to the Steam sale to do so, but if the price is right elsewhere, I'll bite.

Reddit post is irrelevant.

Circumstantial release evidence has pointed to the 11th for weeks. We knew it had a good chance of starting on that date for a long time.

Mid Week madness times and Twitter posts confirm this to be the case.

Worst case scenario is Valve accidentally recharges everyone's steam libraries at full price. Wallets burn, credit is destroyed, and this thread descends into the ultimate screenshots-of-my-steam-games hell.

Lots of games I'm hoping for, especially Dishonored + DLC on sale. Also AC3.

Homes get swallowed by sinkholes all the time. What if the sale can only be accessed by beating both Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni and Umineko no Naku Koro Ni using an experimental Oculus Rift with full tactile feedback?

Nah, this game

Potential seizure warning, although the video itself contains that as well.

I hope the Mystery cards are something cool, and not coupons.
