    If you struggle with buying too much stuff just because it is on sale: remember that when you don’t buy during sales and only buy what you want to play immediately, even full price, you are paying less overall.

      Also NEVER pre-order, NEVER buy a game when it’s new. Wait until it’s finished (usually about a year after release).

        Because it annoys me deeply when people nerd out over difficult-to-search-for acronyms without ever bothering to explain it for people not in the know:

        The web comic’s called “the Parking Lot is Full”.

        It ran from 1993 to 2002, and while the original site has been down for years, you can still browse parts of it via archive.org.

          I would like to find the full uncensored archive. There were some amazing comics they self censored.

    They’re still never as good as they used to be. I don’t think the deals have been as good since they stopped doing the timed deals during sales.

      I enjoy the cards and badge crafting a lot though. Flash sales were really fun back in the day, but I’m glad not to have to worry about the FOMO anymore.

        Yeah I can understand the FOMO but i rarely ever get anything on sale during these big ones anymore because they’re never as substantial since the flash ones were always a significant discount
