Steam Summer Sale Spendapalooza

Recommended Posts

Well, I'm kinda glad Steam refunds exists, because one of the games I bought just wasn't running at all on my PC and another I bought, I just didn't like (I'm a wizard snob), which had a sequel I also bought.

 

Damn, I already feel bad for asking for more than one refund in a row, but I guess in this Steampocalypse sale there will be more than one person in the same situation. *cough*impulse buy*cough*

 

Also, the Life if Strange Steam page isn't working well and won't let you buy the episodes.

I usually spend way too much money during Steam sales, although the only game I've bought this Steam sale is Hatoful Boyfriend...

I didn't have a budget set this time around, but I stuck to my general guidelines of 1) less than $10 2) at least 66% off 3) flash/encore deal.  Everything I got falls in one or more of those categories.  I got

 

Wolfenstein The New Order

Dishonored GOTY

Gauntlet

Super Time Force Ultra

DmC Devil May Cry

Grim Fandango Remastered

Please, Don't Touch Anything

 

and a bunch of gift games for a friend.

I'm so excited to see at least a couple people get Hatoful Boyfriend because I loved that so much. Please contribute to my Hatoful Boyfriend thread and tell me who your true bird love is once you play it!

Got Depths of Tolagar, Chivalry and I flipped a coin to choose between Invisible Inc. and MASSIVE CHALICE.

Don't think there's much else I want.

Ended up getting Talos Principal and Unity of Command as well.

Naturally, I've spent the last 4 days playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown for the first time (which I got in a Steam sale like 2 years ago).

Well, I just found out that you can't trade or use the Steam Marketplace for a few days if you change your password, I'm missing ONE card and I can't do anything with them. I can't even give them away.

 

At least I managed to snagged the Season Pass for Life is Strange.

Yeah, even just changing certain settings in the Steam app for Android, which doesn't even have marketplace access, locks you out of the marketplace for two weeks. The past two sales before this one, I'd randomly changed a few things in the app after reinstalling it in anticipation of the Steam sale and ended up being unable to do anything with trading cards instead. It's... not ideal.

I can understand why it exists for a password change, but want on Earth does the app have that would warrant this?

Gold Helm. I guess I might be able to accept others cards, but maybe that's cut off too?

I picked up:

-The Last Federation (looks like my thing, I want to negotiate relations between parties who have a sense of agency and power)

-Music Creator 7 (I got addicted to using pirated Cakewalk circa 2000, I was listening to some of the midi-songs I made back then and I want to make some more using a similar workflow (staff view))

Trip (I haven't played Proteus, but I plan to play it and this when I'm in an exploratory mood)

Tomb Raider (xbox gold and PsPlus have expired for me and this is the game I keep thinking about having lost)

- Far Cry 2 (I don't play my 360 any more and I've been wanting to play some Far Cry 2 again)

Yeah, according to Steam you are "not available to trade".

Unless there's another way then maybe it's time to sell what you have for Steam wallet funds before the Sale cards vanish at 19:00 European today?
