Re: Just in time for the start of the Steam sale! Summer 2018 Steam Sale Discussion
I was a relative latecomer to Steam. (You can pry my PC game boxes from my cold dead hands... or once a wedding ring is on one of them.) Per Steam my first purchase was 2008 which seems way too recent, but I get dumber and forget more every year. Anyway, my total was only around $890 - which made me feel... good?
This Summer Sale is the best sale I can remember. Literally every game on my wish list (21 games) is on sale, which I never remember happening before. Surely, I will buy at least... one game... during this sale.

I looked thru my wishlist and only ended up with one game. I even turned down a 49 cent game.
I have so many games to play and not many years yet to go I have to slow down.

i broke down and bought railway empire and the dlc. I received $30 in amazon. I'll use that for our general orders and used the $30 towards the game.

Not as bad as I had feared! But this does not include redeemed keys from other sites right?

I grabbed one. For $10, I figure it's worth a shot.morlac wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 10:28 amIts on sale for like a dollar. I ordered ssecond one as i love mine for tv gaminh. My current one is in my game room and hard wired so it works flawlessly. Second one will go upstairs.
Not sold on the steam controller though. It just looks kinda wonky...will stick with my Xbox controller instead.

Geez, I'm only at about $1900. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Re: Just in time for the start of the Steam sale! Summer 2018 Steam Sale Discussion
I've wishlisted every game that ever piqued my interest, but wasn't intending to buy just yet. Then I let the mood and sales drive me later to get it or not. I've got some games that have been on my wishlist for years, sale after sale, because while I think something about it is cool, I'm just not in the mood and haven't thought I would be.Smoove_B wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 7:15 pmI really, really resisted using their wish list function for a long, long time. But now with all the shovelware it's really the only way to keep track of things you might like. Doing the daily queue is also useful (to some degree), but really most of my recommendations come from people talking about stuff here or seeing what others are up to in my activity feed.
So it's less a "Wishlist" and more of a "Ideas List"

I bought Through the Ages & Planet Coaster for $30 combined and took advantage of the $5 off through Paypal.
There are other games on sale on my wishlist but not sure I'd even play them before the Xmas sale...so I'll wait.

Re: Just in time for the start of the Steam sale! Summer 2018 Steam Sale Discussion
I guess this turned out to be the sale thread?
I spent 31 bucks on mostly old stuff to add to my collection with little to no chance of ever playing it.
MoO and MoOII
Baldur's Gate
Planescape: Torment
Lady Hammerlock - Character for Borderlands: The Prequel
Handsome Jack Dopplerganger - Character for Borderlands: The Prequel
ICY: Frostbite Edition (weird little choose your own adventure/survival game)
Vanquish - Not sure. Believe it's a PS3/4 port that looked like a fun 3rd person shooter
I also spent 45 bucks on Dragonball Xenoverse 2 for my son as a graduation present for grade 6.

Re: Just in time for the start of the Steam sale! Summer 2018 Steam Sale Discussion
Purchased some of the things that have been on my backlog for a long time. Mostly stuff that I haven't seen any cheaper and figure probably won't ever be lower (or not for a long time).
Just Cause 3 - $4.49
Valley - $3.99
Mad Max - $4.99
Blue Estate - $3.24
Claptastic Voyage & Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 - $3.29
Dying Light Enhanced Edition ROW - $19.79
~ $40. That's the most I've spent in a long time.

Re: Just in time for the start of the Steam sale! Summer 2018 Steam Sale Discussion
Hmmm...Planescape Torment Enhanced for $5 is hard to pass on. I want it on GoG though but never see it that cheap. Im not sure Id ever play it again and it killed my eyes originally and Ive only played it that once. But Ive tried other old games recently I loved and just cant take them now. Maybe that would be the game that would stick.. Then again maybe its too quirky still. I loved it then but found it a strange game.

Re: Just in time for the start of the Steam sale! Summer 2018 Steam Sale Discussion
I picked up the DLC for Project Highrise, which I keep telling myself I'm going to get back into someday.
And I picked up the latest DLC for Crusader Kings II, which I keep telling myself I'm going to get back into someday... wait
I got PC Building Simulator, still in Early Access and therefore violating my oath to never buy a game until official release, but I'm weak
I picked up the base game of Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 but decided to pass on the DLC for now. I gave it a look and while there's a lot more to it, I'm still not ready to shell out more than twice the price of the base game for DLC I may never get to.

I think I'm finally going to commit to Fallout 4 tomorrow. Doesn't seem like it's going to drop below $15 anytime soon.

Re: Just in time for the start of the Steam sale! Summer 2018 Steam Sale Discussion
...and with a few hours remaining I have purchased nothing. I think this may be a first for me. OK, technically I purchased a card but my leftover sale cards paid for that about 30 times over.coopasonic wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 9:37 am As far as the sale, I don't have anything on my wish list that I am dying to play and none of the sales are good enough to really get me to spend money anyway.
I did get the free $5 from PayPal so I feel like I should find something to spend it on.

Re: Just in time for the start of the Steam sale! Summer 2018 Steam Sale Discussion
I came away with Assassin's Creed Origins, Epic Battle Fantasy 4, and Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition.
Still thinking about Conan Exiles and .hack/GU, but I'm not sure I"d actually have time for either, so I'm likely done.

Conan doesn't take up that much time... I'm at 253 hours and I think I might be running out of steam now.... maybe.

...And I waited too long. Thought the sale lasted through the 5th, but it's back to full price. Oh well, it will come around again.

Jesus said, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body."[Matt 10:28] God can totally destroy us.
Jesus also said, "For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”[John 6:40] Eternal life is conditional.
His disciple John wrote, "Whoever has the Son has eternal life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have eternal life. [1 John 5:12] Eternal life is optional.
