I'am trying this thing where I use all my fiber of my being and self control to not buy anymore Steam games and try to save up for my own apartment on my own.
Trying to get myself into the habit of not letting the GAF indie hype machine take control of me and buy a Steam gift card to buy that game or whatever is the flavor of the week.
It sucks to be poor and it sucks even more to live with your dad while you're in your late 20s. I would hope having a janitor job at a bar and grill will and having organizations help me with shit like HUD or what not.
/sorry for rant
Hey being patient with your purchases is easy if you get used to it. Other than not being able to talk with other people about the flavor of the month, you don't lose so much. I don't feel I'm missing out ds3 or shovel knight(which is on sale on gog atm) or whatever.
I'll play them for sure, just when they are 50% off or something. Plus you get all the patches/complete editions.
Not being caught by the hype wave can really benefit how you see games. It can help you look into replaying old favorites, emulating games etc. Unless you have very very few games to play, you'll be good.
When in doubt, post your library here and ask for recommendations. People will recommend stuff they have enjoyed and you'll be glad to check what made X game so cool to Y person.
Hope things get better for you <3
