It's on once again. So, what are you considering for purchase during the sale?

I just ordered a grey import 64GB Steam Deck, and a 1TB Sabrent SSD to pop in it. Just browsing now for some stuff to fill it with......... although I do have a backlog of untouched stuff on my account alreay.

Nice rig! Yes, you need to load that device with sub sims, naval sims, and military sims, LOL!

During my annual Summer Sale pillaging of the Steam warehouse, I picked up...

Six Days in Fallujah
Ground Branch
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2
Helicopter Gunship D.E.X.
1971 Indian Naval Front
Trepang2
Occupy Mars

Plus the Falklands War, Ford, and Queen Elizabeth DLC for Command: Modern Operations and the rest of the DLC for Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak that I didn't have.

So I'm good for another year. I hope some of the titles that I've been following are released in time for Summer Sale 2024!

I'm not into violent game anymore-Now it's peaceful simulation games like ETS2, ATS, Farming simulator and Farmers Dynasty.

I have nine games and DLC on my wish list, two of them are on summer sale.
1. Raft
2. BeamNG. Drive

Markus, if you get BeamNG.Drive, and if you like automotive design and engineering, consider getting this as well. It integrates with BeamNG.Drive:

Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game

You can then design your own cars, and you get to drive them.

I shouldn't play violent military games. It tends to aggravate my PTSD. But I'm retired military, and it's all familiar and, I don't know, oddly comforting because I know about it. But I'm glad that I'm retired and not still living that life.

I gave BeamNG a try due to the sale, but I cannot recommend it. The game lost connection to the graphic card (so the error message) in practically every session I tried, after 1-3 minutes. And this after the menu already gave me a headache, "ergonomy" is pronounced differently than they do in this attempt. A completely unlustful way to waste a long download and then 40 minutes of trying to play. After the fifth crashed session in a row, I refunded.
