Kinda caught me by surprise, I was checking out my wishlist on Steam when the Summer Sale began. Haven't done any real recon on prices yet but there ya go. Have at it, boys.

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

im back

20% off old world - still not feeling it, especially after Martok gave it a partial thumbs down

Nebulous command still tickles me fancy - at 10% off i might give it a go

I could be persuaded if you're getting it.

To be honest I'm struggling to find much in this sale. Kind of eyeing V Rising, Wartales and Monster Hunter: Rise but nothing's a must-have.

Wartales looks kinda interesting.

The Steam Summer Sale is always the equivalent of a DDOS attack

Pretty much. I can't even access my Wishlist right now.

Same for me, though I did just get an email from Steam listing everything on my wishlist that's discounted. I went through it and wasn't really impressed.

The only thing I'm tempted by right now is that new Borderlands/Tiny Tina game, but I'll wait a few months to see if it gets discounted more at Christmas.

Same here.  Eight games on my wishlist are part of the sale, but they're pretty much all just a measly 20-30% off, which isn't very enticing.  I think it's gonna be easy to resist the "purchase" button this time around.
