My wish list is not impressed...
My wishlist has nothing I want on it. All the things on special I should have been following rather than having on my wishlist.
Steel Division II 'General Deluxe Edition' (with History Pass) for 17.49 (instead of 69.99)?
I see the lock'n'load base games are going pretty cheap and battle packs 50% off, anyone played?

I have them all and love them. My tactical game go to
Outside of a few EU4 DLC and Star Trek Bridge Commander that I can now play with my VR advantaged friends, not much here I'm too interested in.
Might get Post Scriptum.
I was looking at Post Scriptum, too, but now single player mode, and it sounds sparcely populated. No fun playing an MMP with no MPs.
Yeah, there was a patch (30gig)that dropped yesterday for post scriptum and I wanted to try it again. I just loaded it up and a few gents were saying the pop recovered a bit. But I do not expect that will be for long. Performance was very good.
Post Scriptum is still an excellent FPS. A bit deeper than HLL for sure.
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is normally full price for some crazy reason despite being a 5 year old RTS that was never super popular. But it's on sale for dirt cheap now! Picked that up and The Sims 4 for about 10 bucks in total, another game I've had on the wishlist for ages but never gotten around to buying.
Also the Mafia remake is looking rather tempting...

HW Deserts of Kharak is a fantastic game. I loved every minute of it.
I picked up both Stirring Abyss and Inscryption for a total of $30 bucks. Good stuff.
Groggy
I started to think again, games to buy but what time to play them crazy

I've heard good things about Inscryption but know little about it.
I mentioned earlier that I grabbed Cyberpunk as it went on sale a bit earlier than the fall sales window.
Beyond that nothing much jumping at me, maybe check on some DLC for some of my other games.
I was just thinking of booting up Skyrim again when I saw Bethesda released an Anniversary Edition upgrade to Special Edition (which I have). A lot of folks seem to be pretty put off by the $20 pricetag, but considering the hours of enjoyment I've gotten from my initial +/-$50 purchase, another 20 is not a big ask IMO.
So all that is to say I just bought the Anniversary Edition upgrade and am installing the whole smack on my laptop. Woot!

Yeah, I got Hell Let Loose instead.
I'd have preferred the deeper PS, but I looked at the active player pop and it won out.
Last minute purchases also included No Man's Sky now that I can play with three of my buddies that also have it. Also picked up War in the West/Op Torch since I have enjoyed War in the East 2 so much.

Ditto.
All the games on my wishlist aren't even out yet. Sick of waiting...In the meantime I dumped some money into RTW Remastered, Civ6, and some more DLC for TotalWarhammer 2.
So I lied.
I ended up getting a package deal on Inscryption, loop hero (which I've heard great things) and another game that escapes my memory right now.
I also grabbed Timberborne because I'm a sucker for survival city builders and it has beavers.
I got Panthers in the Fog (thanks to Starfury's review), Steel Division 2, and that Stalingrad RTS developed right around the same time the battle was fought.

LOL!
I wanted 2042 but lousy start, playing my older games
8)
I grabbed the DLC for War in the East 1 for half-off. I considered getting Thrones of Britannia for $10 because I hear there are some great mods for it. Maybe next time.
^10.00 is a steal for that game!
Thrones of Britannia is actually a good game but buyer be ware. The game play, particularly the battles, is a bit different from the modern day total war games.
Britannia is kind of like a hybrid between MTW2 and RTW2 and may seem a bit quirky but it does grow on you.
It's very quirky. But most here who are into that era and British history would love it! I liked it much more than I thought I would. It is probably the most (undeservedly) maligned TW game.
The only thing I bought was Hard West for less than 2 dollah! It's so-so. A friend "gifted" me a copy of some anime-based abomination called Ni No Kuni (http://ni%20no%20kuni) because his daughter is getting into anime (poor child) and wants to learn Japanese so now I've got yo play the stupid thing in Japanese, stream it on Discord, and try to translate. It has been a disaster so far..
You lived in Japan for a while, right?
9 years.
Wow, like a 2nd home.
