What're you buying?
Still unemployed so I’m not even looking. If capital doesn’t want to hire me, they can’t have any more of my money.
Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!

Looking at how few places are hiring now compared to 2 years ago is honestly terrifying.
pezhore@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Is there something on your wishlist that’s on discount?
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 11 months ago
Plenty of stuff, turns out. But I’m sticking to my guns. I have a big backlog anyway.

I have Valkie 64, and I say save your money. Last I played it, it was VERY rough, unpolished, and felt unfinished. It didn’t properly replicate N64 graphics, looking more like an emulator from 2005 with the internal resolution cracked way up and only basic bilinear texture filtering. The controls are clunky, and I don’t mean like in an N64 game way, I mean they just feel bad.
Even for $5 USD or whatever, I say its not worth it. I was disappointed because the trailer seemed to make it look like an attempt to recapture the magic of Ocarina of Time, but it doesn’t do that at all. Like, not even close.

Nice taste, similar to mine. I just picked up Sapo 3D. Played Pseudoregalia recently and loved it.
I suggest you take a look at Cavern of Dreams and Frogun.
nivenkos@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Thanks, I hadn’t heard of Frogun! So many frog games with Kero Quest 64 too!

A Game About Digging a Hole looks to be a fun game to play while your legs fall asleep on the toilet. Only 20% off, but it’s a sub $5 game.
EightBitBlood@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I made the indie game INK INSIDE, which is based on a lost cartoon pilot I pitched to Nickelodeon in 2015.
Instead, I turned it into a cartoon show action RPG staring Brian David Gilbert.
It has a completely unique combat mechanic that’s a combination of beat-em-ups and bust-a-move. It’s big on narrative, loot, and world building and even has live action segments.
We’re on sale at 50% for only $10.
Would love for you to check it out, as it seems like you might really enjoy it based on the other games in your cart!
silverchase@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Looks like you enjoy retro-style 3D platformers. Get Corn Kidz 64!
Like Pseudoregalia, it’s another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.
nivenkos@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have it on my wishlist! But have to cut the spending somewhere haha. I’d also like to get Cyber Knights, A Hat In Time, Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, Skin Deep and Soulash 2 - but it’s just too much money with so little time for gaming now (especially with keyboard + mouse for the latter two).
isyasad@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Pseudoregalia is insanely good
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
It is very good. Nails the style.
pezhore@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I’ve been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.
nivenkos@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I really enjoyed Azaran, Gravity Storm and Always With You in the NextFest.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 11 months ago
Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!
All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.
Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That's just taking tax off and nothing else.
Aliktren@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bit meah honestly
mohab@piefed.social 11 months ago
Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.
I've been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it's 50% again now.
I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 40% and I was worried I'll regret it in the Summer sale… it's 40% again.
Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.

Bah. Bought Animal Well for $18 last night, but just saw now it was included in a bundle for $7.
Asetru@feddit.org 11 months ago
7 bucks? Saw that and immediately opened steam.
Am I missing something? That’s the only bundle I found for animal well…
mosiacmango@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I just “finished” animal well. Fuck $80 games, its a $200 game.
$18 is totally worth it.
jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I’m sorry:(( I’m dumb.
I have Dredge already, and I had bought Animal Well for $18 last night. That left Inscryption as the final game in the bundle. Steam dynamically prices games in the bundle and since I already had two games, I saw the bundle as $7 and got confused.
I literally just refunded animal well, waited for the refund confirmation, went to rebuy animal well, and saw the bundle was now priced at $24 (because I still already have Dredge).
Sorry I got your hopes up :(
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Seems like the store is down or not loading, at least for me. My bank account is happy at least.
ech@lemm.ee 11 months ago
The opening is always a bit naturally DDOS’d. It’ll smooth out.

Elden ring only 40% off? I feel betrayed
caseofthematts@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Since Eldem Rings success, fromsoft games don’t get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.
Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Bought it anyways now. Have played both star wars games often enough, so need a new soulslike now
MisshapenDeviate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
And no discount for the DLC or complete edition
proper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
gmg and fanatical still cheaper for most titles.
that said I’ve been trying to load my steam wishlist for like an hour now.

Me too. It's the usual steam servers having issues as soon as a sale starts.
suburban_hillbilly@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Kerbal space program at $4 is such an insane deal.
richardwagner@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I get the gist of this game. Build some rockets with lifelike physics, right? Do you think it’d be fun on steam deck?
suburban_hillbilly@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
I have no idea how vehicle construction would work with a joystick, but other than that should be basically the same. Flying/landing might even be better on controller. It also has a native Linux client that isn’t just a shitty port.
cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.
jballs@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I’m not happy about it.
caut_R@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: It wasn‘t)
tisktisk@piefed.social 11 months ago
do you need dlcs for risk of rain 2? I don't really like encouraging stuff like DLC's if avoidable
caut_R@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Technically no (what game actually needs them?) but I like to do trophy hunting so practically yes.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 11 months ago
No you didn't need the dlcs for it. But I highly recommend the first dlc just for the new music. That soundtrack rocks with both together.
pezhore@infosec.pub 11 months ago
I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.
My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.
pscamodio@feddit.it 11 months ago
Expedition 33 is often high discounted on instant gaming.
It’s 40% off now instant-gaming.com/…/17015-buy-clair-obscur-exped…
