Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Bit meah honestly

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.

I've been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it's 50% again now.

I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 40% and I was worried I'll regret it in the Summer sale… it's 40% again.

Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.

~~Bah. Bought Animal Well for $18 last night, but just saw now it was included in a bundle for $7.~~

Edit: praise steams refund policy

Edit2: Jesus christ I'm an idiot

7 bucks? Saw that and immediately opened steam.

Am I missing something? That's the only bundle I found for animal well...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I'm sorry:(( I'm dumb.

I have Dredge already, and I had bought Animal Well for $18 last night. That left Inscryption as the final game in the bundle. Steam dynamically prices games in the bundle and since I already had two games, I saw the bundle as $7 and got confused.

I literally just refunded animal well, waited for the refund confirmation, went to rebuy animal well in the bundle, and saw the bundle was now priced at $24 (because I still already have Dredge).

Sorry I got your hopes up :(

Seems like the store is down or not loading, at least for me. My bank account is happy at least.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

The opening is always a bit naturally DDOS'd. It'll smooth out.

Elden ring only 40% off? I feel betrayed

gmg and fanatical still cheaper for most titles.

that said I’ve been trying to load my steam wishlist for like an hour now.

Kerbal space program at $4 is such an insane deal.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago (3 children)

KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.

I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs (for Risk of Rain 2) and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: „It wasn‘t“)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

do you need dlcs for risk of rain 2? I don't really like encouraging stuff like DLC's if avoidable
