Nothing. Partially because I already have too many games between PC and Switch, and partially because the sales are kinda shit since Valve stopped doing flash sales.

Even though it wasn't on sale, I got Battlebit Remastered. It's like Battlefield but the graphics style is simpler kind of like roblox but that doesn't mean the shooting isn't as realistic. It's a cheap game and it's still early access but I feel it's going to be a pretty fun shooter as it gets worked on and improves.

Bought out of the park 24 and franchise hockey manager bundle

I wish this genre got more attention from developers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly didn't event know this was a genre (aside maybe from football manager) until a few days ago. Getting super overwhelmed by the depth of these games, but watching through tutorials to try to get a handle on it.

I picked up:

The Forgotten City, Heaven’s Vault, The Eternal Cylinder, and Underhero

I might pick up Klonoa as well but I’m still deciding.

Mechwarrior 5! I've always liked the series, but this one fell off my radar with an Epic exclusive deal that also had some pretty big problems at launch. It looks like it's in a good place now, though, so I'm looking forward to exploring the coop with a friend.

So far:

  • Trombone Champ
  • Wasteland 3

Been having a blast with Trombone Champ. It's so incredibly dumb, silly and hilarious. And apparently Max Tundra has delivered a couple of remixes for it, which was a nice surprise.

I just accidentally stumbled onto Dave the Diver and I really want it, though it's not on a particularly great sale. Concept sounds super fun.

I'm pretty sure it just left early access so the small discount makes sense. It's a stellar game and honestly much longer than you'd think with a game that screams casual.

Is performance still poor on the Deck though? I played it a few months ago but was going to wait to see if performance improved.

Even 40fps was hard to maintain consistently.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I force most games into 45 or 60 of I can help it. I've never noticed bad performance while swimming so I loaded it up and played for a bit. I was locked to 60 with no issues. Definitely fixed whatever performance issues they had.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Great to hear!

FYI, if you’re seeming the mathematical balance between 30 and 60 fps, 40 is what you’re looking for. By frame-time, 40 is exactly between 30 and 60 (25ms vs 16.67 and 33.33, respectively).

Duck game 4 pack for my friends. Definitely recommend. Lots of mods to spice up gameplay.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Nothing, because my PC’s hard drive died and I haven’t brought a new one yet.

Finally picked up Tiny Tina's Wonderlands!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I bought Battlebit Remastered, and refunded it after 70 mins playing.

I am planning to try out Sleeping Dogs, that one passed me by when it came out. Hope it still holds up!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I bought it years ago to replay it. It would just crash on launch. Hope they fixed it, I remember it being so fun.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I’m still on the fence for buying Hogwarts Legacy. 20% off is still more than €40..

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I bought it full price when it came out and it's worth every cent imo, and I'm not even a Harry Potter fan. It's a good RPG in its own right.

FF7 has been the game that I've been wanting to play for a long time but sadly can't because of being low on funds. Maybe someday

Getting Star Traders: Frontiers! Been itching for some exploration and trading as a space ship captain, since I started reading the expanse. Hope it's good!
