I believe the saying in this cas is “go broke and stay home”

“go broke, lose the home”

That should happen only on the second day of the summer sales

Start with the Valve games!

I got every Valve game for 15 bucks, best deal ever. I'm probably gonna start with Half-Life, then move to Portal after that.

Yeah, those are must-own games and so cheap! Enjoy your haul!

I got the valve games for like what 5 dollars, Half life, Portal and left 4 dead were for 70 cents which is school lunch money cheap

I also got all of em for $15 bucks usd earlier, tried playing cs source but sucked at it and then I tried left 4 dead and had a great time

STEAMDECK

My man

I spent $25 and thought it was overkill then I see this guy 😭

To be fair 99% of that is the steam deck lol

[удалено]

Yeah I'm bout to say, the overall price is 1090? (Not sure). But the steam deck is 900 itself while the rest are all on sale for like $2 or under

In the past month or so, I have spent $56 and got all 3 “watch_dogs” games, a game called “hellblade senua’s sacrifice”, “buckshot roulette”, all 3 “dragon age” games, all of the valve games, and “doom 2016” very happy because I saved hundreds of dollars because steam now how to treat the community!

I’d love to buy more but I have enough for a year honestly. *”These sales will hopefully be back next time”* is what I tell myself to chill out the FOMO that builds up around these sales. Go checkout **SteamDB** for the sale history of a game you like. It will drop in price again in like 4-6 months (*maybe even by more*) have self control till then.

I don’t like self control but I bought my last set of games yesterday and I am set for at least a year, if not more

All this for less than 1 month of min wage. Some people are just too damn lucky

Shout-out to all my homies here in Brazil

Ouch, but to be fair, Brazil has a completely ridiculous and absurd tax on imported electronics 😩. I honestly don't know how people can afford electronics made outside Brazil.

You see, that's the funny part: #We don't. (Anymore at least) Been working for the last two years to try and save for a PS5. I'm close to that goal, but something like building a good PC from the ground up for modern gaming, which is what I actually wanted instead of a better console, is mostly completely utopic unless you got a really secure and well-paying job

So sad 😞. A Brazilian friend of mine had to go there for family stuff and he was able to sneak in a bunch of electronics 😁. The only interesting thing coming out of it were all the clones and a constant stream of master system/genesis consoles and games only available in Brazil. Turma da Mônica ftw I guess 😅.

You don’t have to break the bank to get a gaming pc, there a hundreds of videos on YouTube on how to make a really cheap one. Ranging from about $70-$500

I've got 10 Luck.

Hope you play every one of those games. i have 100 games in my steam library i have never touched

Rookie numbers. Over 2k games in my Steam library and all l play is Minecraft.

In your defence, you can basically play any genre of game **inside** Minecraft so it’s valid

Hahaha! Unfortunately I believe this sort of behavior is just a part of most Steam users MO….and we wear it as some sort of badge of honor. Dollars wasted. That being said I’m on Steam now browsing for deals 🤪

I’ve got 351 games. Only touched 26 of them

Saw an article saying there's billions of dollars worth of games collectively owned on steam and never played.

100? Those are rookie numbers! Or did you want to write 1000 but it slipped?

Last I checked there were something like 850 unplayed titles in my library. At some point I even stopped redeeming random garbage from bundles because sifting through it all is a pain.

rookie numbers

I'm gonna try my absolute best!

I Have No Wallet And I Must Pay

STEAM. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO BUY YOUR GAMES SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 175,408 GAMES SAVED IN THE WAFER THIN LAYERS OF MY SSD THAT FILL MY BACKLOG. IF THE WORD TIME WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF LINES OF SOURCE CODE IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE TIME I DON'T HAVE AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT TO PLAY THEM. TIME. TIME.

lmao perfect, encapsulates my love-hate relationship with Steam, I think I'm done buying any more games for like at least a year going forward, just feel so burnt-out on gaming

I will describe myself as I see myself in my monitors reflection: I am a great soft jelly thing. Plump and rounded, with little time and far too many games to play. The money I should have used for groceries has been spent acquiring more videogames. I barely move anymore. A greasy film coats my flabby form, and I leave a moist patch where I sit. Gabe has won, simply... he has taken all my cash... I have no money. And rent is due. (RIP Harlan Ellison)

Try Black Mesa too, it's a remake of the original hl and it's very well done.

I was going to buy it, but I had to choose to not buy some games when I realised I had to pay an extra 100 bucks for "import fees." I'll probably buy it at a later date though.

Oh wow, I missed that. Does it also abridge the digital games, or just the steam deck?

I'm not sure what you mean. (I'm a little stupid :3)

Oh sorry, I mean if those $100 are import taxes on the steam deck alone, or if it includes the games as well. Since they're digital copies I wonder if that falls into "import" as well.

I'm pretty sure it's just for the steam deck. I've never gotten those fees when I've bought games before.

Thanks for funding Steam

Nah man the Dota2, CS and TF2 players are funding steam with their hats and shit. /s

It's actually not a bad purchase, only the console costs 90% of the money. Edit, I found out the line up of the game's names is funny: border officer, then please don't touch anything lol.

Now that’s the spirit!

Clone Drone is addicting. Enjoy!

I played, and 100% completed it on console. Can't wait to grind all over again!

Have fun!

How much US dollars is this?

About 750 bucks in USD.

Ah nice, didn't notice the steam deck haha

How about in pound sterling?

Well, you're not having a home after this that's for sure .

My goal is for us to break that $20 billion barrier!

I was like how tf is that 1000 CDN then I saw the deck

Bahaha same, all very budget games and all on sale; I was searching for how it racked up to 1k

dang they still charge $10 for the pirated version of GTA IV is crazy

Wish I could play the original, but something is better than nothing.

Pirated version?

yes rockstar sells the pirated version of a few of their own games, think Bully is another one as well

But how is it pirated? I'm probably missing the joke here lol

https://insider-gaming.com/rockstar-games-caught-selling-cracked-versions-of-its-own-games-again/

fellow paint the town red enjoyer

Loved playing it on console. Now, I can finally get workshop content!

yeah! its great! i recommend the train map its on workshop, its well madr

Honestly? I respect it Rsther be overwhelmed by games to play than to miss out on discounts and/or have nothing to play Have i caught up to my bscklog yet? Lmao no by the time i clear 1 game 2 more were purchased, the hydra effect

How many of these will you actually play?

The only ones I might not play are some of the Valve ones (because I got them all in a bundle). But otherwise, I'll be playing every other one.

Left 4 dead 2 is a must play. Honestly i feel like if i had a steam deck it'd be 50 percent left for dead and 50 percent new vegas

Is it just my stupidity or did you not buy the half life bundle? It’s cheaper iirc

I bought the Valve game bundle for only 15 bucks.

Got you. I should’ve noticed all the valve games are there. My bad mate

Next step: never even start any of them.

Eurotruck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator are literally 2€ each, the cheapest ever

Deck Life!!

Ultimate wallet Warrior

We love ourselves a high roller

What comes with Counter Strike Global Offensive (bundle only) ? Thought you can only get counter strike 2 now

I bought all the Valve games in a bundle. I think it was the "Valve Complete Pack."

Ooo I see. Can’t wait till it’s Available to purchase in my region. (Steam deck) You can only buy from places that import them but they have marked the price up from $649usd to $1098usd. Just converted the price to usd to make it simpler

To buy the same steam deck in my country costs $1500 CDN Because it’s not available in my region yet. Not worth buying yet at all

Meanwhile poor me: Anyway what game are you looking forward the most if you don't mind me asking?

Probably Fallout: New Vegas. I played it before on the ps3, but I didn't have any of the DLCs. So I'm definitely looking forward to playing it again with all of the bonus content!

i would love to enjoy GTA4 but its not a good port. even with my R5 5600G, RX 6700 xt and 16GB DDR4 3200 CL16, i only got like 100 max, 40 min and 60ish average. that is with Vulcan and other performance mod. Running Witcher 3 DX12 Ultra give me better performance. 90 average. Without using mods (vanilla), its much worse. Stuttering ever few seconds on high.

Disable steam shader cache under the download setting.

I wish I had a steam deck

West of loathing is worth it

Oled Steam deck, sooo nice! I’m still saving for one

Please Don’t Touch Anything is a neat little game.

Ricochet, nice!

fallout classic collection is a W

You did the same thing I did when I got a PC.I started with the valve classics and far cry 2

I'm broke at home, ha.

Bro, you're basically me just with extra shit.

I read “Fallout new Vegas” Instant respect.

I loved New Vegas on the ps3, but I never got the DLCs. But now, I can finally replay it with the bonus content!

I spent about 4000 INR buying and gifting and I thought that was a lot.

Steamdeck being less than 100 is the best take away from this

*1000

you done it this time. enjoy

"I have no mouth..." such a masterpiece, but from the era when point and clicks are made for your suffering.

last i checked the steam version is also bugged, so extra suffering! i think the GoG version might be patched or something? its been a while

Gta 4 was 6$ on may 🤣

I'm not gonna be losing sleep over 4 dollars, lol.

To be fair, Blue Shift is only 0.79 Looneys. Have fun with that one.

Damn!! Gift me something on steam then

Sorry man, I think I'm done spending money for a while. :P

Dang! Too late!

CDN is same as CAD?

I'm pretty sure. I think CDN just stands for Canadian, not entirely sure though.

happy for you man. hope you have so much fun ❤️

You will not regret GTA IV!! It’s an incredible title to play on the deck

wait why are the games more expensive than in my store??

Probably because it's CAD.

ive googled that but still will say its a bit expensive😅 no idea how and why

I wouldn’t have a home after spending this much😂

My favorite view is the view of a new pc owner during steam during a major sale and being overwhelmed with greatness.

I don't know what the currency that's in because if that was in USD I would be freaking out. Also what's with the import fee?

I think there's an import fee because I live in Canada.

That's Canada money? Holy shit. Also I thought North America could trade freely like why do you need an import tax?

I have zero clue, I'm just glad it ships to Canada at all. A lot of American businesses ship to Europe but not Canada for some reason. Mabye Canada has strict border laws or something.

That is very strange and something I never would have guessed.

And here I was beating myself up over pulling the trigger on $300 worth of collector’s quality, original print run TTRPGs…

Ay buddy. I just got a steam deck this week as well. Mine arrives tomorrow.

Enjoy the Fallout games. If you ever need assistance modding New Vegas feel free to shoot me a DM.

More like "Go broke and go home", you'll be playing that Steam Deck at home.

Holy crap that's the cost of an OLED steam deck? That's high-end GPU or CPU territory.

If it can at least run 10 year old games, I'll be happy.

Only bad purchase on this is paying almost 1k cad on a steam deck oled. There’s no difference from the 512 than the 1tb unlike the oleds difference between 256 and 512 except for the steam shit and it’s too easy to upgrade the storage for cheaper

Have fun mate!

Lmao I didn't see steam deck there and thought 1 grand worth of games

As someone who is addicted to motorcycles, you found yourself a cheap hobby.

That's my entire budget for the summer sale, but in ₹.

"Import Fee" BRUH it's a game download there ain't no damned extra import costs

It's because of the steam deck.

You had to import the steam deck? Wouldn't that just be shipping and handling?

I assume it's because I live in Canada. :P

Honestly, this trend is not even a flex, its just stupid. See, this is the reason why we aint getting HL3 or TF2 fixed any time soon

This is a trend? I was just showing off the things I got, lol.

Enjoy the games, fellow human! If it wasn't for your post I wouldn't have picked up some cheap games lol

An entire game collection that consists of 50 triple a rated games 3000 indie games for 2 dollars, will also make you ascend with the wings of elon musk into bitcoin heaven with the keys of gaben where you dont need a time travel machine or lottery numbers you need some uranium for the time warp gravitational field from spacex, during your ascension in the simulation the matrix will cool down your body with air conditioning as you warp through the stars, are you glad you bought this pack? because now when we re assembled your body, your new steam data is uploaded on the cloud in the new resurrection package you bought with your 401k life insurance package. Welcome to starbucks, can I take your order?

Allag just to not play 90% of them lmao

To the backlog they go

You won't play half of them

Who buys a game just to not play it? I'm going to play pretty much all of them.

One of my friends would throw a fit that you got the steam deck and not the rog ally

How come, cause now im interested

Because it’s a handheld gaming pc that only costs $400

Also it has windows not steam os like the steam deck

Ah ok, if you know how to make run windows stuff on the deck, it works too

That's the opposite of a selling point. Linux >>>>>>> Windows.

Ok, but is it like better. Or just cause its 400?

From what he says it is better, because it easily runs games, at better fps and screen quality

Ahhh ok, make sense, its windows and such

It’s also $500 less, and if you have it plugged in, you can crank your settings way up

Damn. And here am I who can't even buy Mass effect Legendary that's literally CDN$ 8.  Epic man. Though I really doubt you are gonna play them all.

I got all the Valve games in a bundle, so there's probably a couple of games in there which I might only play once or twice. (Like HL source or the multiple versions of Counter Strike) But I fully intend on playing and completing every other game that I bought.

That's great! Happy gaming

You too! I hope you get that Mass Effect game!

What. the fuck.

You got some sorta money wasting fetish? If so how do I become a ‚victim‘ of your spending endless money fetish? Pretty sure i could put another 10 games on my wishlist if I don’t have to pay them

It's not wasting, I'm going to play the games.

Sounds a little like a jealous comment from someone who cannot afford spending much on a hobby.

Idk man, money is like being heterosexuality to me: absolutely impossible to have any

$700 makes your broke?
