I picked up the three STALKER games. Always been interested in them but the bugs put me off. Got the complete series mods downloaded, so hopefully it'll fix a lot them.

People complaining about the sale being disappointing. It isn't really disappointing because it doesn't have the games you want in the sale or they are not cheap enough. As they have a lot of sales, i've already picked up most of the games i want in past sales. New PC gamers or owners of new rigs will love the sale as they'll probably not have a lot of the decent games in the sale. Fallout NV for ?9 and the DLC for ?4.50 was a bargain.

You also have to be realistic about the sale. As great as they are, you're not going to see Portal 2 in there for a fiver.

Plus it is exciting waiting for the counter to finish and see what new items are in the sale

What happened to the summer sale/camp activities? Steam's store page is back to normal activity :blink:

Was just gonna say the same, steam and steampowered.com do not have the deals listed. It was supposed to be until the 10th wasnt it?

Anyone have any experience with Railworks 2? My son and I love electic trains but just do not have the room right now to build our own scene so I figured we would just get a computer sim for now.

It is on sale this week and the Canadian packs are too but would like to hear if it is any good or not.

Another good Train Sim is the one from Microsoft. Very good Train Simulator but discontinued product.

Railworks 2 was part of one of the deals earlier in the sale. I'd probobly wait in case it goes back on sale as part of an encore or something.

I am on the wall on The Sims 3. I noticed it stays ?50 for the last few times it was on sale. I think this time they added their latest expansion in as well The Sims 3 Generations.

There's a new expansion coming along - the Sims 3 Pets. So since I have more 105 games of which I have only finished 10 - 20 of them... I'm wondering if it's worth adding more to the collection, or whether I should wait for the Christmas sale for the new discounted price and new expansion.

This is great! I didnt realise this was going on shame I've missed what looks like some great deals.

Just picked up Batman GOTY and Left4Dead 2 as I never played either!

Now I just have to complete Braid and then get Limbo when its released and i'm complete.

So are there new deals every day?

Yes, until the 10th.

The last day's deals will most likely be the best selling deals from the previous days.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
