I know I'm replying to a post that was made ~13 hours ago, but I have to corroborate that the Dawn Shadow controller is sexy as fuck.

Is there a badge for buying stuff this sale?

Buying no. You need to do the game nomination stuff
You missed completing your DLC to get it for free?
Just get the DLC for now if you want more Skyrim now and wait for a more aggressive discount and more mature mod scene.

I've got a Titanfall 2 (origin) key if anyone's willing to trade anything decent.
I did this the last Steam sale. Consider it a W for keeping it to $100.
Spoiler for when you sober up:
just refund them
nah, gotta support vidya gaems and shit.

Yup. It actually plays surprisingly well if your rig can handle it (i'm on a 1080 and it runs super smooth). I was expecting nasuea city but I actually didn't feel any; the VR cockpit view helps with that a lot oddly enough.
It's a fantastic game overall.
The 2011 Winter Sale and the 2012 Summer/Winter Sales badges were task-related, but from 2013 onwards they've been trading card-based.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Do you want pretty graphics? If not: Noooooooooooooooooooooo.

I've got $20 in my Steam wallet and nothing I want to buy. Recommend me something at a good sale price that will make me feel like a badass.

Battlerite's pretty fun and you definitely feel like a badass when you outplay people.

Haven't played Corona so I can't give an opinion on it.
Have you played Root Double? I've heard it been mentioned earlier as a great pick.

I like Diablo and know they aren't entirely comparable but how is Divinity Original Sin?
Absolutely nothing alike. At least at launch, the combat for me was the weakest part of DOS. More a constant roadblock than a joy if didn't choose the right classes. Well the characters were pretty forgettable too.

Hitman seems to perform better than it did in beta. Enjoying the tutorials again so far.
If you want a game like Diablo, I recommend Grim Dawn - it's pretty much what Diablo 3 should have been (minus the online, large player-base, and global rep - thought RoS sort of redeemed it a bit).
Divinity: Original Sin is a turn-based rpg - I felt it was similar to Baldur's Gate (but not as good imo). I played Wasteland 2 at a friend's place - and play-style wise found both of these to be similar as well.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
It's a good representation of where the game will demand the most performance; crowds seem to max out CPU usage and from what I've read it sounds like you might actually need something more than quadcore to keep a solid 60.
Game feels pretty good to me at a lower framerate, so I'm not too put out by it. I'm actually kind of impressed it looks and plays as well as it does on my old and creaky CPU.

Doom.
Just go into offline mode until your appetite is sated. That should let you complete your game.

Seems like Shardlight is all I want this sale. Cities: Skylines expansions are on my radar, but I'll wait until Christmas before I really consider buying them.
Only getting one item feels kind of weird. What has Steam done to me?
DOSEE is a great game, but keep in mind that it's a turn-based RPG focused on freeform world interaction, and in no way reminiscent of an ARPG like Diablo. I think the camera perspective gives people the wrong idea or something, because you're not the first to compare them.
As mentioned above, get Grim Dawn if you're looking for some ARPG goodness. It is very good.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance isn't on sale unfortunately...

I'll definitely consider Grim Dawn then, thanks. How is it solo?

Totally fine. Co-op seems really unecessary but can be fun if you want to play that way.

If you've got $0.50 I can recommend Hyperspace Invaders II. Even if all you do is hop into the game's directory and pull out the soundtrack, which is in convenient unencrypted .ogg format for each song, you'll easily get your money's worth.

Oh good. Is the game as easy as Diablo 3 or does it actually have some difficulty?

Not om steAm at least
Just bought necrovision as a palate cleanser after far cry primal. Needed something fun, dumb, cheap, and immediate after being wore down to my wits end in an Ubislog borefest of a game. If everything I've read about this game is true, it'll be just the dumbass cheesey Army of Darkness I need after after falling to sleep on the 100$ million Heaven's Gate I just played.

I don't know if I'm gonna buy anything this sale. Ever since they got rid of flash sales, Steam sales just ain't what it used to be.

Yup...
I'd reckon harder, but I haven't played any of Diablo 3's expansion stuff. GD's mainline routes are comparable to Diablo 2 with spikes and valleys in difficulty, but optional side areas scale with the player, ensuring they're always a challenge.
And speaking of side areas, some of them are super difficult IMO. You need peak gear and builds to really bite into them. (For some, town recalls are not allowed, so it's really a test of endurance.)

I hope everyone is playing Infinifactory, genius puzzle game. Best thing I've played in ages. It's also in the latest Humble.
Anyway, I've made it to the 2nd last group and I've run out of scores on my firends list.
Hint-> Need more people for the score table -<friend here. Or just do it anyway as I'm always up for more screenshots to look at on my activity.
Now I'm off to build a satellite.

is necropolis worth picking up? i might just have enough to get it. a lot of people say it is similar to dark souls. from what i've seen it looks to be heavily focused on mp/co-op. do i need friends or does the game put you in a game with others?
Its funner with people/friends. It isn't needed though.
