Bought the Witcher 3 @ 75% off this week. That’ll have to last me til then.

I’ve been holding off on the most recent sales just in case something on my wishlist is even slightly cheaper during the Winter Sale.

I, probably like most Steam customers, still have unplayed games from previous sales. I definitely don’t need to add to that even though I’m itching to try Dave the Diver and more. I can wait 12 more days.

I really love the steam sale’s artwork

Marcumas , in Winter sale webpage was visible for a moment

I don’t care if it makes me sound like a grumpy old man, but I really miss the old sales where stuff would be steeply discounted for like an hour and then would go back to a normal discount. All the sales now are basically Black Friday bullshit type sales

I remember running to the bathroom at work constantly to check the flash sales

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Yeah, same. 90% discount is really a steal back then, but then i guess it makes sense because these sort of flash sales is only advantageous for people on one side of the planet and the other side will never get to see any sales.

silentknyght ,

I agree to a point. I also miss the excitement of those flash sales, but they were probably predatory–like gambling or FOMO–and I greatly prefer the modern game return policies—arguably what killed off those flash sales–which I can enjoy all-year round.

Is the winter sale better than the sales happening right now? There are some games that I’m eyeing but I don’t know if it makes sense to wait to get them now. For example the devil may cry HD edition of the ps1/ps2 era.

Patches ,

Not usually. Most games have a regular price, and a sale price. That sale price is the same every sale now that flash deals are gone.

But nobody can truly predict the future.

silentknyght ,

If you’re patient, many games’ sale prices slowly get bigger over time.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

You can check with steamdb for the past sales:

steamdb.info/app/631510/

Here it says the discount is always the same for the past year, so you can expect the price for this sales will be the same as the next. Though for some game they will have discount for one sales but not the other, and some only join in for the big 4 season sales. If the price is right for now, just get it.

Keeping an eye out for baldours gate 🤞

corus_kt , in Do NOT smell your Deck!

The rumor is that the fumes are carcinogenic, so I ain’t trying regardless how good it could smell

mnemonicmonkeys ,

Meh, I’ve done worse

baggins , in Do NOT smell your Deck!

Jokes on them I didn’t hear about the vent fumes until they asked me not to huff them now I’ve been sniffing erryday.

Cruxifux , in Do NOT smell your Deck!

…fumes? Does this handheld device run on a literal steam engine or something?

KickMeElmo ,

New electronics will have a smell mostly from adhesives outgassing. Those fumes.

Cruxifux ,

Yeah I figured it had to be glue or plastic based fumes from heat.

This is the only board I ever smelled that was pleasant. Usually a circuit board smells faintly of burnt plastic and pee, even new.

teawrecks ,

Well, I guess we found who the warning was directed at lol

Sabata11792 ,
@Sabata11792@kbin.social avatar

It seemed like a disclaimer more than a warning.

scarilog ,

New electronics usually smells really good. I cannot be the only one.

Pistcow , in Do NOT smell your Deck!

My deck smells fishy

Streisand Effect

TargaryenTKE ,

100%

cmbabul , in Do NOT smell your Deck!

Would smelling an Xbox 360 controller circa 2009 have a similar carcinogenic effect? Asking for a friend

squaresinger ,

That’s a good vintage. That one is fine. But it will make your baby smaller.

cmbabul ,

Ok that’s perfect, got a vasectomy

squaresinger ,

That makes the babies even smaller.

Next year: New Steam Deck rumored to have an essential oil compartment.

    You’ve described it perfectly. Its honestly addicting just putting your nostrils over that air vent when you boot up a demanding game and smell the comforting steam deck vent smellls. I suggest you get a steam deck purely for the vent smell. I’ve already got 14 which im sniffed all the vent smell out of already.
