Y’all got any recs for “AI sandboxes” in the vein of Rimworld and Stellaris? Stellaris is just borked now, and I’ve modded/played the hell out of Rimworld.
I haven’t bought anything yet, but I’ve been compiling a short list of mostly DRPG games like the old Might and Magics that I’ve been playing, specifically ones that’ll work on the Deck nicely. It’s a genre I loved when I was younger that’s been rather missing from my modern collection.
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
and/or
Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls
Legends of Amberland II
Operencia: The Stolen Sun
Songs of Conquest (not a DRPG, but a great-looking spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 3.)
And then on GoG, I might pick up a few real old ones, like Lands of Lore and/or Wizards & Warriors, but I don’t think those will be good for steam deck even through Heroic.
Grabbed Slay the Spire and Green Hell. Both all-time low.
Thinking of picking up Catherine Classic + the NOexistenceN of you AND me. Don’t know if I have time to play those two with Persona 5 Royal and RDR2 in my backlog.
I got Fallout 4’s DLC - primarily so I can play Fallout London. I also picked up X4: Foundations, and Fallout 76 as well. All were pretty heavily discounted.
Is Fallout London easy to mod on Steam? I read that it requires some extra step, compared to GOG? And since I have the Deck only, do you know if it is easy to install it on the Deck?
Also curious about this. I didn’t want to do a whole new play through with a gog one but don’t really want the hassle of setting up the London mod with my steam version. Been holding off until I get more time to mess with it but the longer I go the more likely I just suck it up and start over on gog.
Hi-Fi Rush has been at $17.99 for about a week now, didn’t know that the winter sale was live so I thought DekuDeals was lying to me and jumped on that purchase.
Doom 2016 was my game for last year and into early this year. For what it’s worth, I enjoyed it quite a bit once I got into it. I tried to start it a few times and that didn’t work out, but then suddenly last winter, it all just clicked.
I had also tried Doom Eternal, and that’s not my thing. Doom 2016 lets you play at your own pace, your own style, and make your own choices on how to play … mostly. Doom Eternal you basically have to play it the way THEY want you to play and use the weapons THEY want you to use and if you don’t then you’re in for an unfun struggle. Doom 2016 isn’t really like that, in my opinion and experience.
One of the yt gamers I watch made a comment about how by the end of Doom the final boss isn’t the mastermind, it’s you. The demons are trying to survive the doomslayer as you rip and tear

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Nothing, absolutely nothing. My backlog is huge with games that have hours to play.
I bought two:
ACE COMBAT™7: SKIES UNKNOWN - $4.79 (Flying makes me hard)
Detroit: Become Human - $3.99 (always looking for something to experience with my barely-gamer s/o)

Zomboid?

Ooh, Wildermyth looks pretty tempting too…

Slay the Spire for less than 3€ is amazing
I’m thinking about grabbing…
Star birds
Last caretaker
And rv there yet
I’m also eyeballing planet Crafter, and a couple others on my wish list that dropped below $10.
I’ve also wanted to pick up ultra kill for a while but I never see it on sale for under $20 (Canadian schmeckles)…
Some that I’m still waiting to see come down in price to something more reasonable…
Horizon: forbidden West
Split fiction
Borderlands 4.
Even on discount, these are well over $40.
My friends and I played through RV There Yet just last month. Hilariously awesome game but very hard to solo. Definitely recommend with friends.
Oh god. The amounts of hours I’ve sunk into planet crafter is midly embarrassing. Well worth a punt.
For the first time I decided to spend my money on a Lagavulin 16 and Port Charlotte 10.
Oh nice. I love Islay single malts. I’ve never tried Port Charlotte 10 but Lagavulin 16 is excellent.

I have Fallout 4 but not the mods, plus 200Gb of free space is kind of rich, so I would better know how well it runs and if it is really worth it.
I’ll be patient and keep waiting for EDF 6 currently 56% off and that is still too much of $79 full price. If it goes down to 75 % off I’ll buy it.
I picked up Ikaruga. I can feel the input delay, but it’s still fun.
Going to play V rising with the homies

Never played Doom 2016 but I’ve heard it’s very good.

Inscryption is fantastic. Enjoy it!
It’s also available on gog (assuming you’re not one of those “I 💖 billionaires” folks)
