This thread will attempt to provide a place to discuss past/present/future PC gaming deals. While mainly focusing on Steam games, any standout sales may also be presented. I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.
See this POST for links to store sale pages, threads of interest and other tools to help you become a more informed PC game shopper.
There's a Slickdeals thread about the RDR2 story mode deal if anyone is interested. If you don't already have RDO, it seems like you should be able to buy it from Epic for $5 then get the story mode afterwards for another $5. So $10 saved overall versus buying the standard edition. YMMV, naturally.
I already fakey'ed RDR2 from Steam a while back. Be aware that the first hour or so is pretty structured, but from there it opens up the world completely.
I guess they did it that way to get you invested in the story, but it does throw you off a bit. I remember starting it thinking that it wasn't at all like I thought it would be. 214 hours later I'm still not done with my first playthrough because I found too many entertaining things to do on my own.
That's not to say that the story isn't good, because it is excellent (disclaimer: I do like the genre).
Do any of you guys know if the Blizzard Arcade Collection will be delisted in Feb 2022? Not sure if I'm understanding the page information correctly. Was hoping it would be 50% off on PC before then like on consoles but it's only 20% off the Holiday Sale.
If you're implying that you want to see the developers supported, don't hold off on claiming it on Epic: Sweeney definitely pays the developers for those giveaways and (although I don't have any insider knowledge) I wouldn't be surprised if they get more money the more people claim the game.

They said the dates were tentative so maybe it's off. I'm guessing that someone is claiming to have datamined the package graphics then figured out the games based on the hints. And maybe presenting them in the order the images were in (or by filename, etc)
Pathfinder's really good, similar to a modern-day BG series.
Vampyr's combat's "okay" and has that Eurojank and nowhere as good as Dark Souls' thing, but I love everything else about the game - i.e. voice-acting; writing; dialogue; story; plot; characters; Doctor's Bulletin Board for curing or vampire-turning (i.e. it's a Reverse SoM/SoW system); atmosphere; immersion; setting; etc.
Prey 2017's awesome. Like a modern-day System Shock 2 of sorts.
Also, this is interesting - all of the games listed in this leak are full price right now too and are not on sale during this sale.
I think I recall some people mentioning Graphic Audio books positively here before, so figured someone might be interested in the giveaway they’re doing on Fanatical right now, though I have no familiarity with the books in question. There are three of them, Deathlands: Crater Lake, Deathlands: Homeward Bound, and Rogue Angel: The Chosen, along with a 10% off coupon for a “GraphicAudio Novels Bundle.”

I’ve never listened to one all the way through but I’m given to understand they utilize the highly underused “Gorespray” feature in most modern media playback devices.

I used to listen to these Deathlands Graphic Audio books a few years ago when I was working a second job late at night. Listened to about 120 of them, which was all I could get my hands on at the time. They're all 4-5 hours long.
Technically, these are more like audio dramas than audio books. They're still audio books in that there's a narrator, but each character is voiced by someone, and there's music and plenty of sound effects. The effects are usually really great, and there are at least a dozen voice actors in the Deathlands cast.
As far as "graphic" in the explicit context: there's lots of swearing and violence/murder, and at least one sex scene in every story. The setting is in the wake of a nuclear holocaust in an alternate future, and the United States is a lawless wasteland full of criminals and prostitutes. The main character is basically Snake Plissken. Other characters include an Amazonian mutant with living hair, a gun fanatic, a 19th century British philosopher who accidentally traveled through time, and a black female doctor awoken from cryosleep who searches for a cure for nuclear fallout. They take warp portals found in labs around the world in hopes that they find a place to live peacefully.
I liked the series enough where I started buying the book bundles to support the studio. Graphic Audio also does licensed adaptations of DC and Marvel stories, if you're into that.
While definitely a cool find, it’s not too surprising. It seems like everything new we learn about maniraptorans just goes to show that most things we think of as being distinctively birdish evolved in the maniraptoran lineage (or even earlier) before birds diverged.
So if any regulars here missed out, I got two one extra ME Legendary keys. Let me know if you're interested and I'll let them go for exactly what I paid for them ($10.61 each).

I kind of, sort of want it. I certainly would have grabbed it if I hadn't been too late. But I suspect that other people probably want it more than I do. So I'll leave it for them.

I can barely bother with cards. I have about $50 in Steam balance thanks to buying Steam buxx at GameStop through a credit card promo/discount of around 30% off. I think that was like six months ago. Still unspent.
