    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

    I might buy the metal gear collection and some indie titles. Kinda want to buy more but I've already got such an insane backlog.

    nothing. since steam neutered the turkish and argentinian local prices everything's unaffordable for me now. I'm destined to sail the high seas whether i want it or not.

    The deals seem better this year but why buy anything if I'll just play the same 3 games?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    I got Final Fantasy VII Remake. I've been working through the entire Final Fantasy series, mostly in order thanks to the pixel remasters. Currently having the time of my life with FFVII after being extremely disappointed with VI (which surprisingly has been my least favorite by far), and now have the option to play Remake immediately after if I want.

    I considered Baldur's Gate 3 because everyone I know keeps gushing about how great it is. It just doesn't look very fun and there is no way I'm going to put down $48 on a video game.

    I bought deep rock galactic and have lost an average of three hours of sleep per night. I also bought class of '09 and I'm excited to try that.

        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

        I heard it was "white girl boondocks" and I had to buy it. I'll reply once I've played it.

            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!"

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