Wonder what the card economy will be now that they don't drop from sales. Already the winter sale cards go for 0.15. But since you can only get those from crafting badges for other game, will probably lead to those cards also having higher price on average.

I discovered a life hack.

Revisit the old steam thread 2 years ago, say 2022 Dec thread, and you will pleasantly discover that the games announced back then should have been released. Better, games which were released in 2022 should have nice discounts in the winter sale.

Icing on the cake, you can also re-read your old posts and say to yourself "geez, I was so innocent and naive." :face-with-stuck-out-tongue-and-winking-eye:

Not something many will care about right now, but I also realized with the Trails 1st announcement, the physical release is Amazon only in USA. Not only will the PC release be a step back (we don't know who is working on it but there's no universe where another dev can match a PH3 release IMO), but console versions won't be in normal retail stores and CE is LRG-only. Glad to see a worldwide multiplat simul Falcom release, but this feels like a step back in some fronts already.

My damage report for the sale.

Path of Exile 2 likes to hard lock my PC in between zone transitions. It looks like it's related to the newest Windows 11 update so that's cool.

Must be weird to be in the business of making money and hate making money
Well it's sold a million copies and Vanillaware lives another day, but they are leaving money on the table. UO is a top notch game and one of my favorites of the year, but I wouldn't condemn any PC gamer who emulates it because piracy is a service problem etc etc.

Just picked up 1000xResist after being interested, forgetting about it and recently hearing people say how much they liked it.
£12 is fair enough and i also picked up State of Decay 2 for £2.50 so even if i don't get along with it in SP it's not a big outlay ha.

Might archive off my Starfield modlist and save for the moment and give this a whirl over Christmas.

Get the Wabbajack file from here rather than Nexus

Just finished the main story of RDR2
Arthurs bit
Such a good game, gave me some real feels. Characters were great.

Must be the best looking game I've played to date.

I know GTA6 is coming soon and will probably be amazing but honestly I'm hoping for a RDR3 sometime before I hit old age. I'm 45 now, will I be playing it in my 50's?

That part where they are building the house is genuinely one of my favorite moments in gaming lol

  • The Total War ‘launcher’ will be removed: I believe we all want a seamless Total War experience, and the launcher is a hindrance to that. We’re working on a plan to remove its requirement but want to ensure we have a Mod Management system in place before doing so. I’m not sure when this is coming but we are actively working on it.

It is one of the rare games that made me have really strong emotional response. This scene is still for me one of the best scene in gaming and on pair with many scenes from movies and it is entirely skippable


R* really knocked it out of park with character writing in in RDR2. Every single camp member was amazing.


On the bright side i did a bit worse than last year




Also BOOM

Man even DLC is too expensive for my taste. I was like oh man its been years since Grim Dawn is done, check DLC. Yeah okay guess I am waiting another half decade.
There's the:

Anything other than that is just help the devs with money stuff

Unless you meant it's too expensive in general for DLC then yeah I agree with that after it's been out for so long

Expensive in my region >.> I looked at that bundle. Thanks tho I am just ranting. I mean the newest DLC (last one they released) is from 2019!

For The King II is cheaper...

Durante I'll most likely play Cold Steel 4 on my Deck through the next year, what would be your recommended settings for 45 Hz and (most preferably) power draw below 10W?
I currently have the portable setting scheme with aniso and MSAA x2 turned on, anything else you think I should change? MSAA x4 might be too much for Deck, right?

Today on the PC side I plan to refresh my release calendar for 2025, ponder over what in my nearly 2000 games collection is a priority, and what if any game to buy in the sale.

I’m miserable over how miserable I will be 5 minutes into it.
