I bought 226 games this month. No, I’m not okay. (lemmy.world)

This month, I bought 226 PC games for C$185.82 ($134.58)

Now are those a lot of games? Yes, it's a silly amount of games. Perhaps I'm addicted to good deals that deliver fun.

We all have a vice, and this is mine. I don't drink, or smoke, or gamble -- but I buy lots and lots of video games.

Though back when I was a console gamer, I'd might get eight games for that price -- if I were lucky.

I got downvoted? I guess that's just a reminder to not trust anything you see on a federated app other than the text of the post. That's not what it looks like on my side.

Anyway, Mudrunners is definitely a big time sink, but even there I'm surprised you never considered moving on to Snowruner or any of the spinoffs, or, I don't know, the Dakar game they made at some point, if you are into WRC. That's a surprising amount of passion and loyalty, but also of outright satisfaction with getting that version of that thing and never going back to the well.

Which is fine, it's legitimate, it's just a bit of an outlier way to go about it. Even the dudebros that only bought Madden/Fifa and Call of Duty bought those every year or every other year. The people who only played WoW or The Sims bought all the expansions or the characters in a fighting game. You are unusually focused, is what I'm saying.

Yeah, when I was replying you had 2 upvotes and 3 down. I gave you an upvote for a valid question to bring it to 3 and 3 lol.

I read reviews and many players said SnowRunner didn't have quite the same level of soft physics as mudrunners, almost like devs simplified it. So kind of like a hit movie gets a sequel and sequel is watered down. So if its on sale one day I may grab it, but I might regret it if they dropped part of the magic of the original.
