Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

Trying to decide on cloudbuilt. :-/

Seems like to much going on at once.

Any chance we'll see the fighting games go to 75% off. It's a shame that one lost the community choice.

Ask yourself this: Do you like platformers?

That's all it took for me.

180 turns are mapped to RT. It's really awkward especially if you're charging a shot with RB. Gonna switch over next time I play.

Yeah it'll definitely help that problem. Because the gun is mapped to left-click on mouse, I barely notice when I'm charging it.

And "Do you think there's been a drought of decent 3D platformers for-fucking-ever?"

I've never played Baldur's Gate I or II but I own them on GOG. What exactly are the advantages of the Enhanced Editions? Worth buying or should my first experience of them be the originals?

Never played neither tbh but basically you don't have to do any "(optionally) required" modding and you can jump right in.

But Indie - Space has that cool FTL game I saw that one guy on Twitch stream that one time.

FTL is on sale every other week. It was even cheaper during winter sale and regular weeklys/dailys on steam throughout the year smh. I should have bitten on that bundlecentral a while back for the Conquistador game. It was only $3 :(

I had a similar revelation when I started playing Risk of Rain and realized how much fun I was having with a $2.50 game running on a $400 GPU.

So, something like owning a PS4, right?

I jest, I jest! And it wasn't even a good joke... I'll see myself out now. Dark Souls 2 won't go on flash sale anyways, so let this post be my obligatory disappointment post :(

Seems to me they're returning to their pre-sale price. At the beginning of sales people tend to unload keys they have sitting around for cash, flooding the market and lowering demand.
Click to expand...

What are their average prices? I've never even looked at community market until this sale. Someone saying that Steam keys got higher during sales made me think they were actually up instead of down.

Summer cards aren't getting cheaper, afair in winter we went under 10 cents suring the sale.



It was in a community vote and lost to Alan Wake.

Did a steam metagame ever have this super involved metagame before? Aside from the coal one year, I honestly can't remember how those games worked. Competition might be keeping prices high.

I know that, but the average Steam user seems to be pretty out of the loop with this stuff. (Or maybe they just don't give a shit) At least going by the way these sales have gone. I did not think that RPGs were gonna lose this time though.

In my restless dreams,
I see that sale;


Steam Summer Sale 2015

You promised me you'd give me
the games I want again someday.
But you never did.

Well, I'm shopping there now...
In our 'daily deals'...
Waiting for them...

Waiting for them to
go 75% off for me.

But they never do.

And so I wait, wrapped in my
waning wallet of games I'll never play and trading card badges.

I know I've done a terrible
thing to my wallet. Something it'll
never forgive me for.

I wish I could change,
but I can't.

I feel so pathetic and ugly
laying here, waiting for the sales...

Every day I stare up at the cracks
in the ceiling and all I can think
about is how much I can spend...

GAF came today.
They told me I could go
and not buy games for a day.

It’s not that I'm getting better.
It’s just that this may be
my last chance...

I think you know what I mean...

Even so, I'm glad to be here
I've missed these sales terribly.

But I'm afraid, GAF.
I'm afraid you don't really
want me to stop buying games.

Whenever you come see me,
they don't stop providing the discounts...

I don't know if you
hate me or pity me...
Or maybe I just disgust you...

I'm sorry about that.

When I first learned that
I was going to spend too much money, I just
didn't want to accept it.

I was so sure I wouldn't spend hundreds of dollars at a sale,
never give my money all away to such a bearded man.
Especially Gaben, GAF.

That's why I understand
if you do hate me.

But I want you to
know this, GAF.

I'll always love you.

Even though our life on Steam together had
to come to sale like this, I still wouldn't
trade it for the world. We had
some wonderful Steam Friend years together.

Well, this post has gone on
too long, so I'll say goodbye.

I told Origin to give
this to you after I'm gone.

That means that as you read
this, I'm already out of money.

I can't tell you to remember me,
but I can't bear for you to
forget my added funds.

These last few years since I
became addicted... I'm so sorry for
what I did to my wallet, did to us...

You've given me so much and
I haven't been able to return
a single worthwhile modbot giveaway.

That's why I want you to purchase
for yourself now.
Do what's best for you, GAF.

GAF...

You are very generous...
