Otherwise for Injustice 2 they'd have to pay people to buy it at 75%+29% Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

I'm basing this squarely on the average download speed I'm getting. And that is always the maximum possible speed (or very close to) for EGS and Origin while Steam is middling around and GOG varies wildly but is on the slower side. The EGS launcher isn't the best, that's true. The only feature I'd like is achievement support. While I generally am of the opinion that achievements shouldn't replace content I think they're nice to have. I probably would not have 250 hours played on Dead Cells if it weren't for all the "legendary" and "epic" achievements that tell me that the average player sucks. Apparently REALLY sucks.

Didn't know the EGS servers died when GTA V was free. I mean I got myself the game, but I have no intention of playing it. The GTA I loved died with 3. No mind to think. No will to break.

March 10, 20214 yr Stellaris Humble Bundle 1$ Base Game 12$ + some dlc Space 4X game. If you like genre you (probably own it) it is quite good. PDX games dlc are hard to fallow, so having it package may be interesting for some. Happy Galaxy Uniting.

There is 7 DLC, 3 are bigger one, and only planetoids is plant armour (skinpack). So overall good package. Generally Stellaris on steam sales goes for like 10$, so having bundle for 12$ is really nice entry.

June 24, 20214 yr I bought Andromeda for 7,99€ or something like that. Thinking, "it can't be _that_ bad...". We'll see.
June 25, 20214 yr I'm staring at all the things on my Steam wishlist that are on sale and having that "ooh, I kind of want to buy them.. but I'm not actually in the mood to play them now. And I have a backlog of games to finish already...." "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
