Steam winter sale - post yer loot

[undercovergeek]

im seeing a lot of what Toonces said and the logic includes myself - are we all getting old or sensible at the same time?

this is toonces were talking about!

New Year=New Toonces!

Seriously, though, I was looking at quite a few games: Pillars of Eternity, Banner Saga, EUIV DLC's, and so on.  In the end, though, I have so much on my plate that I just don't see me getting to those games anytime soon.  Even though we're not talking a lot of money, I've pretty much hit saturation. 

Squad is different because I'm actually going to play it.  I'd rather have one $40 game I play, than eight $5 games that simply go into the pile.

Wise words my beer-soaked friend.  It's a lesson I have yet to learn, to my shame.

Stardrive 2 (yes, I said I wouldn't buy it, but there are hardly any games like this on Linux right now and I need something to tide me over to Solaris and the hoped-for Linux port of GalCiv 3)

WELL.  Didn't I say it?  Didn't I say I wouldn't give that bellend of a developer any more money?  Then I sheepishly bought his little sequel anyway?

Well you'll never guess what!  StarDrive 2 doesn't work on my PC and the developer has completely ignored my support requests!  AGAIN.  For fuck's sake, why don't I take my own advice?  I solemnly swear that I will never ever ever buy this twat's games ever again.

Refund requested.

lol - well done Huw

I picked up Star Ruler 2 and Shadowrun: Hong Kong.

Wasn't sure if I'd play the first but it seems to have enough options to make the factions play different enough to try.

The latter was gonna end up in my pile at some point.  Tossed it in while I was there.

Bought several survival, open world, crafty type games.  I love this genre of games.

Which ones - was looking to give one a try this year

[Grim.Reaper]

Added Grim Dawn...think that ends my purchases....just bought this and Star Wars Legos....spent just about $20 during the sales....that's pretty good for me:)

[Huw the Poo]

Well I just had £6.89 refunded to my wallet so I need to spend that on something before the sale ends!  Might get Caves of Qud.

[Nefaro]

Might get Caves of Qud.

Surprised you don't have it yet.

Yeah I have been eyeing it for quite a while.  However, what's even more surprising is that I don't yet have Bioshock: Infinite, given my unabashed adulation of Bioshock.  I might well go for that one.

Does anyone have Star Wars: KOTOR 2 from Steam?  I'd like to get it at the sale price, but I remember buying KOTOR 1 a while back, and I had some issues with the game freezing quite a few times IIRC.  Just want to know if #2 had the same issue.

Cheers and Merry Christmas (making due with SWTOR MMORPG for now)

Sorry I missed this earlier.

I also had the repeated KOTOR2 freezing issues.  For years & with different computers. 

But whatever they did in that recent patch must have fixed it.  I finally got past the points where my character had always stopped moving in the past. 

I can't guarantee it may not happen later in the game, but I've gone further than I ever had before without it doing that.

Thanks Nefaro, purchased and downloading  O0
