it's weird how some people don't throw their moneyzzz on every sale, right? i'm one of them.
the only thing i'd get is if there's a 75% for gta 5, dark souls 3 or dishonored 2. and since all those are pretty unlikely to get that steep, i'm definitely holding out.

My wish list is packed with games that have come out since January and miscellaneous other games that haven't gotten discounts sufficiently low for me yet.
That's really the best way to go about it at this point. On too many of the early Steam sales, I'd be all "oh, I was somewhat interested in that and it's so cheap!", only to buy, it, never play it, and it would end up in a Humble or something for even cheaper before I even got anywhere near playing it. I've got a couple games that might leap ahead of what I'm currently playing (especially since one of the games I'm currently playing is Darksiders, and I'm already on the verge of giving up on that one), but other than that I just can't muster the same excitement that I did when my Steam library was empty.
Only buy games in Steam sales you play immediately, get the rest from bundles. That's how I handle it.

Ive been fairly good at controlling my steam spending of late!
That's what happens between a backlog, a new job, and recently playing through VNs that last way too long

Edit: Misread.
I have used 3 coupons using the same Steam account and the same Paypal account.

Is Slime Rancher comparable to Viva Pinata?
Oh I agree, some of the routes are bad, really bad. But I liked that one ending
where they both got together, that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside

I'm pretty excited for the STEAM sale this year because I actually have money to spend on it for once.
Yup.
My Wishlist is a hot mess of all kinds of games that I want to varying degrees. A lot of it is stuff I just put in there as to remember the name after hearing it mentioned on a podcast or something.
So I at least went back and pulled all the must-haves / do-wants into my Top 20. Pretty happy with my list going just off of that. Also made me realize that the average retail price of my gaming tastes these days is $15-$20.

Good for you guys who have selfcontrol, i have a feeling that my library will be very close to 7000 owned games after this sale. And i just bought Prey 2017 with thoughts "i don't have anything to play anyway" - and that's after 9 hours in Europa Universalis 3, not to mention other 4 games I'm currently somewhere in the middle of walktrough.

What helped me is once my wishlist crossed 200 games, I went through it and looked at stuff that has been on there forever that has survived 3 or 4 prior Steam Sales. And in 90% of those cases, I was able to go "you know, if you didn't buy it then, you're never going to buy it" and culled like crazy. Felt good.
Yeah, I could likely stand to do that myself.
My list is just shy of 300!
And honestly, when am I ever going to play Football Manager 2014? LOL.

Remember guys: always wait for the daily deals!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Yup.

Mine is kinda the same way (a hot mess mismatch of different things) - it's pretty small but it's mostly stuff that's PC only and typically >$30 so hopefully most of it will go on sale and be pretty reasonable.
I'm working on some pretty big wishlist updates for Enhanced Steam though they won't be out before the sale starts (and probably not before the sale ends, either!). One of the big things I'm updating is the ability to assign games on your wishlist to a self-defined category and the ability to sort by / filter individual wishlist categories (think: Amazon's multiple wishlist feature). I'm also working on pulling in tag data so that users can sort their wishlists by tags / genres.
It still baffles me how barebones the wishlist is on Steam considering how much data Valve has for each game and how empowering users with this data usually leads to a higher click-through and purchase rate.

Oh. haha.
I'm not nearly as active on Gaf as I was previously so lots of things like these go cruising over my head.
As I have just about $9 in the 'ol steam wallet, it'll be smaller indie games that go on sale, at best. Not really sure I need any new games either, as I have a backlog im not proud of right now. On top of that I am trying to use gog more often when the game is on both stores. Unless Prey, Dishonored, or a couple other games get steep, steep discounts, I may just skip out, unless there is some kind of metagame/arg this year. I dont have high hopes

Very good thing to remember. Ask yourself: "am I going to really play much of this before the *next* Steam sale?" If the answer is no, then you might as well wait.

I'm gonna try so hard not to buy shit this sale.
It's so weird being on the other side. Hoping people buy your shit.

Or in my case the odds of the game being in a Humble Monthly.
Why do I let myself get taken in by blind bundles, it's like FOMO at its worst. Hate it.

Exactly.
Problem is this leads to rather mature and aged members of my wishlist now

From what I've played, it's not comparable or nearly as good. I didn't like it much tbh, but I've decided to give it another try when it leaves EA.
But what if...they're not?
Then their loss not mine!

What you have is who you are.
Buy early. Buy often.

Sounds like what you need is a good portion of The Defense Of The Ancients Two
Yeah, somewhere over the past couple/few years a did a hard pivot from Collecting to simply Playing.
I can't imagine the amount of money I've wasted on Steam Sales filling out my Library with games I never even touched, purchasing them because the deals were "too good to be true" or competed my collection of some franchise or another.
These days I don't pull the trigger unless it's for a game I'm ready to start playing. Like right NOW.
It's incredibly freeing and has saved me a bundle. It even makes me feel less guilty over dropping disposable income 'cause I know it's not going to waste. Besides, that's what Humble Bundles are for.

so you want me to double down on the depression?
I want to break you down, destroy you by your very core and rebuild you in my shape
thanks. ut yeah you kind forget how much these games can break you, no matter how many of them you play (or how many times).
It's not even a boss thats doing me, im just trying to get to the other side of the fucking cathedral via those walkways on the roof and I keep fucking up, and everytime you fuck you, the next run is worse because you want to rush nd here we are.

Exactly. With a good Humble, you're often getting a bunch of good games for a buck or two a piece, but the regularity of the Steam sales means that whatever I might want that's on sale will most likely be on sale again in six months anyway. The only exception are the games that might disappear forever from Steam that I want to play, but so far there have only been two (Driver: San Francisco and Riddick), so I figure the odds are somewhat in my favor there.
I got most of the FF games after the one from last year, but I suspect we'll definitely see something. I could grab that hot trash port of VI, or XIII-2 and XIII:LR which I certainly won't play. But now I have the option of playing!
Yep.
You'll need pale tongue to respec as well. Irrc you need to give her a bunch of pale tongues to help with one of the achievements in the game as well.
