  • mirror's Edge
  • Horizon Forbidden West (saving this one for desktop)

E: refunded Mirror's Edge, it was running at like 5 FPS on low settings.

E2: picked up Mirror's Edge on GoG instead for the same price ($3). Disabled PhysX and it runs like a dream.

    In the future try checking ProtonDB before buying/refunding. For Mirror's Edge in particular, it seems all you have to do is disable PhysX.

    ProtonDB is an amazing tool, everyone should check it out!

    Were there any physx settings turned on when running Mirror's Edge? It can bring a 5090 to it's knees due to removal of 32bit physx support. Great recent gamer's nexus video on it. Anyway, physx running on the CPU with Mirror's Edge kills fps

    Fortunately, price info is actually tracked! If you use the SteamDB browser extension you can see the historical low price right on a game's product page on Steam.

    For example, Terraria is on sale for it's 2 year low price of $4.99, but the lowest it's ever been is $1.99 (a little over ten years ago).

    This site not only shows you historical data on steam, but on 3rd party sites and other launchers as well (fully configurable). And it'll send you a mail is any game in your wait list meets any of the criteria you set (e.g. under $10, lowest historical price, etc.)

    The sales were way better maybe like 10 years or so ago, but when they ended the "flash sales" to instead guarantee that the sale price of a game won't change during the sale, they also kind of neutered the sales imo. They're still alright, but they used to be consistently better.

    I get why they ended the flash sales, and I'm not even sure if it's related or just a separate choice that they made at the same time.

    I've been eyeing Signals, Children of the Sun, Jusant, and Weird West for some time now. Maybe Floppy Knights and FAR Changing Tides too

    They gave away Weird West on Epic a while ago. I checked it on Game Pass and had to quit it. The atmosphere is very good and overall looks interesting but the controls were awful for me to get used to. If you are going to get it I recommend checking it before the return window expires, just in case.

    I told myself not to buy any games until KCD2 is out on GOG. But I am tempted

    Probably Zomboid, been eyeing it for a while. And maybe Heavy Rain, at €2 it’s very tempting.

    I've stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.

    In case you're wondering, the correct response was:

    I'm sorry. My country is overrun with fascists and Nazis and I'm horrified by the threats to your nation's sovereignty that manchild of a president is making. He does not speak for me, and I appreciate that you would decide not to spend money in a country that's actively threatening your family.

    You know, for the next time you feel the urge to defend a government that demonstrably doesn't care about you or anyone else.

    Finally gonna pull the trigger on the dead space remake.

    Also waiting for The Last of Us Part 1, Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Raganarok to go below $25 because I still have a handful of other games to finish and start.

    I got Warplanes Air Corp and also Battle over the Pacific. And Dragon Age Veilguard.

    However, lol, the servers must be a little overloaded, it’s downloading at dozens of megabits and, running a speed test at the same time gave me over 700 so yeah. It’ll take some patience XD

    Not enough college financial aid left for me to be able to, otherwise I'd have to look at my wishlist and see what's available for a good price.

    Aestik it's been on my wishlist for awhile and I don't see a reason not to pick it up at the current sale price.

    I bought Station to Station, a nice peaceful train simulation game.

    I bought Mad Max because I originally played it when it was on Game Pass years ago and would like to do another run.

    For the Deck specifically I got Art of Rally, Rogue Legacy 2, and Deep Rock Survivor. I've been playing a lot of Deep Rock Survivor.
