Community MetaSteam | June 2020 - Month Of The Seal, With Many A Deal, Throw Money With Zeal, The Wallet Will Kneel

[Le Pertti]

Why not just full html/code editing like the good ol' Friendster days.

Yeah we are almost there!

 

[BlueOdin]

Haul so far has been:

• Gujian 3
• Lucah
• Murder by Numbers
• Feather
• Fable Anniversary
• Salt & Sanctuary

That will probably be it for me for this sale. The only other things I would really want are a tad too expensive for me currently.

Insomnia, let's take a good look at the wishlist.
700 games, my life is in shambles, and I have 700 motherfucking items on a videogame wishlist.
...
Many agonizing decisions later.
Ok, 580+ is better but I have to do more. It's not a question of wahwah I may forget this and never play it stupid OCD idea at this point, I won't be able to play everything. So let's cull some more.

I have the feeling I'm not doing this sale thing right

Is it worth it to get Rayman Legends if you played Rayman Origins? Am I wrong or is the sequel just prettier original levels + some new levels?

 

[Deku]

How is Life is Strange: Before the Storm?

 

[Mor]

So far Outer Wilds and Battlefront 2, I don't know if I should wait for Tetris Effect and Control :/

Wait or ? Buy them elsewhere ? Buy other games and risk not having funds at the time of release ?

 

[Joe Spangle]

I bought 10 games for £30.

Do not look at the wishlist. Look at the store.

You are not wrong. Still worth it imo, depending on how well you remember Origins. For instance, if you have just finished Origins, then do not.

 

[Mor]

I will have funds but probably won't have time if I add a lot to my backlog
WHAT A DILEMMA!

 

[Kvik]

Now we just need to be able to play midis on steam profiles!

God pls no. Geocities homepages can stay in 1996 where they belong.

 

[lashman]

 

[Tizoc]

Y'all know what time it is

Community - Giveaways!

Took Black the fall, thanks ganmo !

metacouncil.com

 

[lazerfox]

I'm lost at what to buy as well. Some good candidates:

• YS VIII
• The Surge 2
• Resonance of Fate
• Life is Strange 2 complete
• Grim Dawn collection
• Shadow of Tomb Raider
• Ni No Kuni Remastered

I can get 2-3 of those or just one: MH World Iceborn.

Speaking of giveaways, I still have a spare Shadow Tom Braider key if you want it.

Reading r/oculus makes me think Valve did the right thing in making SteamVR an open platform, as in, even if you have an Oculus headset you are still fully supported by Steam.

Lots of recommendations and talk about which VR games to buy. Meaning a lot of Oculus users (like me) goes to Steam to buy VR games instead of Oculus Client so Valve also get the Oculus players.

 

[BlueOdin]

How is Life is Strange: Before the Storm?

It's pretty good.

 

[Tizoc]

Legends is great and def. worth playing IMO.

Looking for a gentleman and a scholar to award one of my reviews

Sure if you award one of mine too!

 

[Tizoc]

Finally got my first Covenant 25 win in Monster Train. The run ended up being pretty weird too. Took a space and energy upgrade, only got 4 relics, and only had three stewards left by endgame. It was also the first time I got Deranged Brute to work, so that was fun. My Hornbreaker Prince was doing something like 413x3 by the time Seraph stepped into his car.

Getting here took 58 hours, so it's quite a bit easier than Slay the Spire, which I think took over 200 for my first A20 win. Really fun game, but I'm not sure if I'm going to bother trying to C25 with the other clans. It feels like getting better is going to depend on my willingness to make or look up spreadsheets detailing things like the exact number of rounds fights go and what types of spawn layouts are possible. It definitely feels like I could improve a ton, but I'm not sure it'd be all that fun to do. Still, amazing game. Best deckbuilder since StS.

Congrats!
Mind mentioning what upgrades you used for the Prince?

Done. tee hee hee.

How is Life is Strange: Before the Storm?

's pretty good. In some parts I liked it more than the original, because it didnt have the supernatural stuff. It was just a deeply human, relatable story, well-told.

I never had this much, but I used every sale and demo-fest to remove stuff from my wishlist that I felt like I would not play anyway. I'm down to 38 now I think.

Holding rewards for ransom, I should have expected nothing else from this den of Anime non-believer.

Spoiler

I friended you (how could we not already be friends ?) and will award as soon as possible.

Spoiler

Awarded Edward too.

I'm down to 38 now I think.

What manner of sorcery is this

 

[texhnolyze]

Wow, for real? Yes, please!

Yeah it surprises me sometimes that I'm not friends with someone on steam! Gave you an award too! Thanks!

 

[Li Kao]

Is this evaluation badge not upgradable ? It would surely multiply the number of reviews. Not that there is a lack of it.

 

[beep boop]

I wonder why some games that have been in countless sales already are not discounted. Maybe they'll be in a bundle soonish?

 

[Milena]

These rewards are possible to use for more things, or only reviews? I've given some rewards, but only for reviews so far...

edit. oh, I see now that the reward thing can also be applied to screenshots

 

[Stevey]

Yeah, this new profile customization is neat.

 

[fantomena]

Sea of Thieves (and Cyberpunk 2077) must be selling extremely well considering they are both on top 5 global best sellers, but don't have discount.

 

[Ascheroth]

Hm. I think this will become my haul:

Not in a hurry to purchase anything though, so I guess I'll just keep it in the cart for now.

 

[Wok]

People buy my expensive items. :wtf:

Gabe, what have you done? I thought you had killed the item market, but that is not what you did. You have put more eyes in front of the items to be sold.

 

[fantomena]

Pls come july

(fanmade)

 

[Li Kao]

Wishlist at 499.
I'm doing good, but this is hard

 

[lazerfox]

Wow, for real? Yes, please!

PM sent!

Saya no Uta? Have you read it before?

 

[Swenhir]

I really, really feel lost with all your talk of points, profiles and I feel like at some point I'll have stepped into a cyberpunk dystopia where you can't buy bread without obscure market manipulations involving gems and crafting badges.

Save me, Meta, what is going on?

 

[Ascheroth]

Saya no Uta? Have you read it before?

Nope.

 

[Durante]

Nope.

You're in for a wild ride.

 

[Wok]

Save me, Meta, what is going on?

There is a loyalty program. And "loyalty points" are another currency and source of uncertainty for the Steam Market meta-game.

For instance, this awesome profile background can be yours if you toss "loyalty" points to Gabe. Before that, it was costly to get a waifu background.

There are so many waifus:

Steam Community Market :: Listings for 386770-Nightmare of Lilth

Buy and sell Steam items on the Steam Community Market for Steam Wallet funds.

steamcommunity.com

Steam Community Market :: Listings for 601790-Rouge G wallpaper

Buy and sell Steam items on the Steam Community Market for Steam Wallet funds.

steamcommunity.com

Previously, these backgrounds were hard to get. Now, you can buy the game and have them instantly.

 

[Ascheroth]

You're in for a wild ride.

That's what I've heard

 

[Mor]

I just published my RDR2 steam review and I'm really happy with it, not as long as I would like to make it but Steam is more for enclosed reviews

 

[Alexandros]

I have 0 Steam Points . My policy of "don't buy new games until I play through most of my backlog" finally bit me in the ass. I'm sorry Gaben. I have failed you.

Save me, Meta, what is going on?

The summer sale introduced a (here to stay) points shop. It's basically a loyalty program where all your purchases on Steam give you points, which you can use on various things.

Steam Points Shop

Get points for shopping on Steam or by contributing to the Steam Community. Use your points to customize your Steam presence or award fellow members of the community.

store.steampowered.com

"Things" being mainly vanity stuff for profile customization or chat. Like animated avatars or avatar frames for your profile. The biggest change this brings that you can now also buy chat emojis or profile backgrounds with those points instead of having to buy them on the market or get them as a random reward for crafting a badge.

They've also added themes for your profile:

And well, if you play the Steam Market game, then I guess it's a huge upset and may or may not completely change the prices and "strategies" going forward.

Steam market speculation is too complex for me.

Same here, haha. I just unload a bunch of cards every now and then and call it a day.

-snip-

Thank you, so in summary I don't have to care? You people sound like stock exchange brokers making millions off this stuff .

There are no RL money gains to this, I assume.

 

[fantomena]

Is Indivisbile worth buying (currently 40% off) or should I wait for a deeper discount? Tried on game pass for about 20 min, it's seems cool, but feels a bit rough around the edges, so not sure.
