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.

MODERATORS
Nothing, absolutely nothing. My backlog is huge with games that have hours to play.
This appears to be written in English, but I can't make sense of it.
We must feed the backlog, always.
Number go up.

According to isthereanydeal, these sales aren't nearly as good as they were last seasonal sale in June
Whelp, either GameBillet, GreenManGaming, GOG or pirqcy
Gamebillet has been killing it lately
I had been saving up for Deltarune, avoiding spoilers for years (didn't have time to even play the demo)
here is your reminder to take a peek over on GOG aswell. personally found steam's offerings pretty lacking this year. GOG's; less so.

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)
Flying makes me hard
I am morally obligated to recommend Project Wingman (although it's more expensive at a whole $12.49 right now)
I played it on Xbox, but I assume the PC version is just as good. Plus you can mod it so that ~~waifu~~ WSO Prez shares the cockpit in every plane
Damn you!!!! making me pull out my wallet again! (thanks)
How is Detroit? I'm a barely gamer SO trying to find a co-op game that I enjoy

The Pathfinder games are on sale.
I might grab wasteland 2 and 3
Palworld. Even though it never goes below 20€
I was looking at Fallout 76 since its 90% off but what's the concensus on it? Plan is to play with the wife.
I was really positively surprised by it! Picked it up two years ago and thought I’d spend a couple of hours in it. I’ve spent almost 200 hours in Appalachia by now - one of my favourite comfort games!
I like it a lot. It's not my favorite of the games, but I think it's a great game whether played in a public lobby or not. I do usually prefer a private lobby, but not always.
I think it's been 3 consecutive years now that ive been waiting on a deep sale for some titles, but they have yet to reach lower than 10 bucks (max I'm willing to pay).
Some of them aren't particularly old releases so I dont mind waiting more:
- Signalis
- Caravan SandWitch
- UFO50
- Season
- System Shock (remake)
- No Man's Sky
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Nier Automata
I might get those:
- Rain World
- Weird West
- Card Shark
- OlliOlli World

Welcome to Kowloon and The Swapper are both ones I've had on my list and both are about $2. Why not?
Besides that, I'm going to try and play some more Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 during the holidays, as I'm still in the early stages of both.
- Doom 2016 $4 -80%
- Neon White 2022 $10 -60%
- Inscryption 2021 $8 -60%
Never played Doom 2016 but I've heard it's very good.

My plan to work on my backlog this fall has utterly failed. Instead I've not been playing any games at all for the past month and a half, instead just working on a mod for STALKER Anomaly. Consequently I know in my heart of hearts that the right thing to do is not spend any money this sale. However, I am still looking at:
Tails of Iron (-92%)
The Banner Saga (-85%)
Bloodstained: Ritual of Night (-75%)
Virgo Versus The Zodiac (-75%)
Road 96 (-75%)
HYPER DEMON (-75%)
INMOST (-70%)
Trepang2 (-66% - if it was any lower I would just snap it)
