I don't know where I'd be without Steam! Currently loving Stardew Valley and Sunless Sea.

I also love it for old titles. Relived my childhood playing Commander Keen and Grim Fandango!

Haha, me too! Then I started sucking up to Shane because I felt sorry for him!

I'm looking forward to the multiplayer, it should be arriving this month.

I love Steam, the sales can get addictive though, I have over 850 games in my account.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 15/02/2018 13:11

I love steam too. They had a good package deal last year - every single star wars game. We're still working through them!
Currently enjoying space engineers.
Did someone say Commander Keen? Loved that game!
I'm liking the idea that the afterlife is one long gaming session!

I don't know if you've heard of it but my BIL loves humble bundle. You can get lots of cheap steam games and PS4 and the proceeds go to charity.

88mph · 15/02/2018 14:13

Niffler I used to get all the humblebundles but stopped because I have so many games I've never played. Some amazing deals there though, I got some great games through it.

CigarsofthePharoahs No sweat, oh Guardian of wisdom! ;)

I'm sinking all my down time into GuildWars2 at the moment so Steam has fallen by the wayside. I still have time for Stardew though.

Lweji · 15/02/2018 14:16

I'm showing DS this thread. He'll love all the mentions of Steam. And perhaps the game suggestions.

TobleroneBoo · 15/02/2018 14:51

There's an article in the DM about a man who grew a ginger beard and became a model -made me think of this thread

Although I hope it's not your DH and I have outed you, but this is a recent transformation I think and remember your DH flourished at school?

TobleroneBoo · 15/02/2018 14:56

Oo-er he's in a band too

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 15/02/2018 14:59

Fair enough, Moonflower! Don't really blame you :)

Just checking in to see if you're still dead.

If he likes Indie games I can recommend Pony Island. It's a sweet and lovely game about ponies that's totally wholesome and isn't weird at all aside from the fact that it's possessed by a demon and is trying to take your soul

purplebunny2012 · 15/02/2018 15:39

It's not just indie games on Steam. Lots of the major games are on there, just for download rather than on disc

DS is 13, I think the only thing for him on that game would be the demon.
He's into Rocket League and Rainbow Six. Overwatch on PS4.

I'm raising what I hope to be a cute nice geek (I hope). Alas he's not ginger, although I'm sure his kids could be with the right woman.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 15/02/2018 15:43

Haribo there has to be a story behind your username...

hellsbellsmelons · 15/02/2018 15:45

Love this.
You both sound awsome!
I hope the new sofa's are FAB-YOU-LOSS!

thatgirlispoison · 15/02/2018 15:48

An offer not to be mist... I wonder Superdrug have read this! Grin

Anyone else hoping the OP will get a call soon saying she can claim compensation for her recent accident?

YouTheCat · 15/02/2018 16:07

Sims 3 and all the expansions are 75% off on Steam at the moment.

88mph · 15/02/2018 16:25

YouTheCat ooh... I'm logging on to have a look.

BigFatFanny · 15/02/2018 16:40

Still dead. Now with the added bonus that I actually FEEL dead. Period pain can fuck the fuck off. Ah well, at least the she devil arrived after Valentines day... Grin

DH is being cagey about the sofas, he won't tell me anything. There's a bit of a back story to them that makes him especially sweet though:

When we bought our house were were completely skint. We'd saved every single last penny for a year to scrape together a deposit. I'm talking beans and rice for 5 out of 7 meals, one meal a day levels of skint.

We got enough together and bought our complete wreck of a house. It was just after we discovered we couldn't have kids, so it didn't matter that it wasnt going to be suitable to start a family and it was kind of a 'fuck being sad, let's make a house baby instead' kind of mentality.

Because we plowed all our money into the deposit/ solicitors fees etc, we ended up with nothing left for furniture Blush

Our first 4 months in the house we had a blow up air bed, a chest of drawers, a fairly well stocked kitchen, 1 working bathroom and a blow up air bed. The one thing we both said we'd love more than anything was sofas.

One day my parents announced they were getting new sofas and asked if we'd like their old ones and i cried like a baby for an hour Blush. They were a total wreck with padding all caved in and none of the foot rests working and we have loved them ever since Grin

Anyway, 4 years on we now have a fairly lovely house and everything fits beautifully except these horrendous sofas. We've been fantasising for a while about a corner unit, or recliners or those really old fashioned scroll armed quilted affairs you see in restaurants but there's always been another expensive job to tackle on the house first... i.e: new roof, drying the cellar out and removing the tree roots from it (yes, really).

Anyway, DH has been squirrelling his gig money away into a sofa fund because he knows how much it's been bugging me that they are the only cosmetic thing left to do...

He genuinely is a bit of a superhero.
