Im probably going to get:

Tales Of Berseria $12.49
Divinity OS2 $22.49(maybe)
Metal Wolf Chaos XD $12.49(maybe)
Ion Fury $14.99(overwhelming positive)
Insurgency Sandstorm: $14.99
Fell Seal $10.19
Hardcore Mecha $11.99
Black Future 88 $13.99
Blasphemous $13.74
Amid Evil $11.99
Wrath: Aeon Of Ruin $19.99
God Eater 3 & Catherine Classic (MAYBE)

I believe Divinity OS2 is only 7.99 actually. I told a friend about it earlier.

Blasphemous is part of the microsoft gamepass, you can get 3 months free, and it's only 10$ a month after that. There are a ton of other good games on it though, so honestly even if you couldn't get the 3 months free, $10 would let you play a ton of games including blasphemous in a month for less money.

Sounds kinky, but I totally only have an hour of free time before work and I need to go out and exercise to improve my body build stat so I'm not fat and so that im more appealing to women.

I get it too, but I can still save money on Steam store. -_-

I might buy on both since the $5 coupon would be nice.

there's some anime on Steam...

Is any of it any good?

No. Steam is for games.

Lokarin posted...

I have a steak thawing on the counter...

Should I grill it, or STEAM it (in the pressure cooker)

Charcoal grill.

Alright, I finally got some games.

World of Final Fantasy
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition
Final Fantasy VIII - Remastered

$49.96 with the discount. I always try to limit myself to $50.
:D

---

I really should get FF9 since I heard it does have a speed booster

---

If you have a very cheap and dense steak that would be poor even rare... what can you do with it?

I'm thinking of slicing it thinly and making steak chips

---

Beef stew

You'd probably use a wet cooking method, such as braised beef, Swiss steak, or stroganoff, or perhaps tenderized, breaded & fried, like chicken fried steak or steak fingers.


---

Honestly slow cooking it is probably the best solution, a chuck steak/roast comes to mind (just bought 3 today at 3.99 a pound each).

Cheaper steaks/meats usually cook best with a slow method, but I wouldn't use a pressure cooker (even an instant pot), as it kills most of the flavor. You can combo it (first sear the roast/steak, then pressure cook, and finally finish it off at a low temp in a sauce etc).

For the sauce use spices + onions + bell pepper + tomato sauce (that helps break it down even more, and the beef flavors the sauce nicely)

Or do a nice slow roast in the over, dry with a good sear on the whole roast + spices. If you do that and want bbq sauce/teriyaki etc, just add that near the end.

A good crock pot can also work well, still sear it, but the really nice thing is you can set it and go to work for 8-10 hours and come back to a yummy meal. I used to do that all the time for tons of stuff when I was teaching.

In the over, even at lower temps, I wouldn't really just leave it all day unsupervised.

You can also use indirect heat on a grill if you want as well, especially if you cover it with aluminum foil (against after searing the whole thing first). This also allows you to cover it with a rub/sauce and have it seep into the meat while you slow cook it.

tenderized

Tenderize the heck out of that meat

and cut your steak perpendicular to the grain of the meat.

A piece of meat is actually made up out of many thin segments, like this:
|||||||||||||
So its pulls apart easier from those segments

So if you cut across those segments, every strip of steak you bite into should be easier to chew.

Didn't know Heavy Rain was ported to PC. Might get that too. Been wanting to play that for years.

Any recommendations for JRPGs? I'm probably going to get Ni No Kuni 2.

arv bought grandia 2 for 9.99 but doesnt know if it was apart of the summer sale

---

arv also bought nights for a dollar

---

if you some how don't own sonic games the genesis ones the racers there all on sale if anyone would want them. arv wouldve gotten sonic 3D Blast but it was the genesis port not the saturn

Lokarin posted...

My personal favorite still.

I got Crawl, Momodora (or whatever it's called, the white nun who fights with a maple leaf), and Organ Trail.

Organ Trail is a lot of fun! Like a zombie apocalypse in the style of the old classic "Oregon Trail" game from when I was a kid. It's on the long-ish side for a game with no save or save upon exit though. The gun aiming mechanics are total shit too. Still, out of the three of these this is the one I played the most this weekend.

Lokarin posted...

Torchlight 3 just came out...

Holy shit no way! Gotta check it out ASAP.

Those games are fun

Got Wreckfest and season pass for 50% off. Only thing on my wishlist that's on sale.

---

Got my cart ready. Just going to wait 2 days to see if any of them get bundled before I spend it.

Last Dream: Complete Edition

Ys I and II Chronicles+

Catlateral Damage

NiGHTS Into Dreams

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom - The Prince's Edition

The Enchanted Cave 2

Organ Trail Complete Edition + Soundtrack

Treasure Adventure World

Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered

Spelunky

Artifact Adventure

Knights of Pen and Paper 2 - Deluxiest Edition

Actually removed the Organ Trail one. It's cheaper to buy the game and DLC by itself than to pay for a soundtrack. Don't get why a lot of devs don't just sell packs without crappy soundtracks nobody cares for.

I have 2 games with a soundtrack, but only make them $1 or two. No sense in having a soundtrack that costs almost as much as the actual game!

I have a few that I got for free I think. Or it was cheaper at the time to get the soundtrack version too. One of them I got for free actually gives you in game stuff though.

Recommendations? I'm planning on spending $30 for the discount.

From this list I'd recommend Salt and Sanctuary and Pillars of Eternity. Baba is You is also very fun and totally unique.

I'd recommend against Stoneshard, as it's very incomplete and features many questionable game mechanics (to each his own of course!)

And I think you can grab Desktop Dungeons for free off the regular internet. I'd never pay $8 (or full $15) for it as there's many other better roguelikes with way more depth.

Got some more games in addition to what I've posted before:

Hearts of Iron IV
Alien: Isolation
Battletech
Into the Breach
Papers, Please
Doom Classic Complete
And that Idol VN game for reasons...

Question, how do bundles with the same game work? I want XCOM 1 but it's in two bundles: one with all the DLC and the other with the so-so third person shooter, if I got both bundles then would I get charged both times for it? (it shows up at the same price in both bundles) if that's the case then I'll stick with the DLC bundle.

Alien: Isolation

Oh man this one gave me anxiety, had to quit playing. EXCELLENT adherence to OG Alien though, it looks and sounds like it came right out of that movie.

---

Added some more things. I'll buy tomorrow though.

When is it over?

Depends on the type of bundle, Steam has two. The original style, you paid for everything in the bundle. The new style, it excludes items you already own resulting in a discount.

XCOM is an older style bundle, so get the DLC pack.

Here is an example of the new bundle type (viewed on an alt, since I owned all of those :P), you can see the difference at the bottom.

Mr Shifty - Got a bundle key, I'll give it to you

Looking at others, damn, you missed much better deals. Some stuff was free (Seal the Deal DLC for A Hat in Time) and others were massively discounted such as several games that were in a Covid bundle for like 97% off at the time, but the bundle still exists, I just know the price increased later, check it out for your price.

But whatever else, buy Ori.

Got FF12TZA and Divinity OS2.

Is there anything to buy with your points that you can resale for a few pennies back? Don't really care about stupid stickers and such.

Not that I saw but you can get some nice backgrounds that have thigns like lava lamps etc, which are semi ok.

I don't care about stickers either, and no, you can't sell em sadly.
