    I don't get it she picked a hot gamer boyfriend, what were the other two wishes?

    I too wish that people in public places would mask. Good wish, dude, you deserve those video games

        It's one that's worth the price for sure, it's also not full of DRM so you could technically 🏴‍☠️it if you want to

          It's not really about worth. It's just expensive for my budget. I could yarg it but I also don't want to dedicate 100gb for it to sit (I'm in no rush to play it despite having beat the two previous)

    I got FTL for $2.50 and finally pulled the trigger on Dwarf Fortress even though the discount wasn't great, I know the devs are trying to afford cancer treatment in Hellworld.

        Yeah my only regret is not trying it years ago, just installed the Multiverse mod after completing a couple runs and it's wild how much content is added.

          If you like FTL, I recommend Cobalt Core. It's a 10/10 game, worth buying even at full price.

    If I used my immunity-from-contracting-and-transmitting diseases wish on myself and my partner, I would mask anyways because explaining that I don't need to wear a mask because a supernatural force granted me 3 wishes is harder than just showing people that hot gamers should mask too

    I wish the sales were as awesome as they were a decade ago.

    That said, I’m thinking about picking up Balatro, but I feel no urgency to care since it’s only 10% off. Like, that $1.50 difference isn’t all that compelling.

      balatro is totally worth it imo, absolute banger i got like 60 hours of completely addicted gameplay out of it and it's a one guy game so idm paying up for it

    Picked up Celeste and Prison Architect bc they cost next to nothing

    Got Disco Elysium for my partner

    And most importantly I got Workers and Resources Soviet Republic which is so fucking addictive and I can’t pull myself away from it

    Very happy for the guy in the picture. Both that he can afford a 4090 and that his fuses can apparently handle a 4090.

    Money is really tight, so probably gonna keep playing Darkest Dungeon and finish up my second playthrough of Digimon: Cybersleuth.

      class of '09

      Let me know how it is, I've been eyeing that our of idle curiosity for a while now

        I've played it before, it's super edgy but in such an over the top way that it's funny. Only "ironic" visual novel I've ever enjoyed. CW for basically everything though.
        I think whether it lands depends on whether you were in an American high school in the late 00s/early 10s, there are some deep cuts. There's a moment where they go to FYE and my brain just melted for a minute

            There was one line that plays on my head daily

            mean violence posting

            "Oh yeah? Why don't I slit your throat so I can watch the honor roll out?"

            "Are you threatening me??"

            "No, I'm hitting on you; flash me a titty, bitch"

              my favorite is:

              "... one... fis huh, tuwoah fis..huh"

              "Are you serious?"

              "Come on, you picked a hard one on purpose!"

              "It's a Doctor Seuss book you dipshit!"

      TES III: Morrowind - 6€

      There's a currently a Humble Bundle with Morrowind and a bunch of other games, though. https://www.humblebundle.com/games/summer-games-done-quick-2024

      OpenMW might be a better pick, lots of stuff you usually mod into BethMW is built into OpenMW, like shadows, UI improvements, optimization, etc. It also runs much smoother.

        Yhea; Is that guy tiny or Is that videocard huge?

        the retail box is pretty big and that's not even the same edition as the one he's holding in the pic

            shrug-outta-hecks I think PC gamers have gotten used to bigger cards and there is a lot of variance between the 'most compact' 4090 & the largest, which would be the ROG Strix shown in the photo I posted above.

            Show

            But I am still rocking my 1060 6GB in 2024 so don't take anything I say about the current state of graphics cards as the word of god lol
