I bought Rimworld in 2015 on a Steam Christmas Sale and I finally played it this last year.
Breaking news: it's really fun lol
I'm 1800hrs in (with probably another couple hundred making mods), Rimworld is pure crack in all the best ways possible. Hands down the best $30 I've ever spent on a game.
Just put my first 100 hours in. Stayed up until 4am playing even though I had to work early and finish a massive project.
The game is fucking crack.
Any suggestions on must have mods?
The only must haves are QoL stuff like repricing up weapons, run and gun, jobs menu reworks etc.
Everything else is what flavour you want, Neolithic colony, wh40k gene editing , etc
Everyone plays a bit different, personally I'd recommend playing the vanilla game for a bit and using mods to flesh things out or iron out any rough edges in how you experience the game. The modding scene for the game is absolutely phenomenal, if at any point you're going "gee, there's got to be a better way to do X, deal with Y, or add more Z", there's probably a mod that does it, for example I like designing my colony fairly early on (so I have something to build towards), but since the existing mono-color plan gets confusing pretty fast (what was wall and what was workbench, tool cabinet, light, etc), I find More Planning to be a bit of a must have. As a blanket statement, the Vanilla Expanded mods are very well done and integrate neatly into the game (that said, they aren't necessary meant to all be run at once, so you can pick and choose what you want and go from there).
I have a pretty decent list going, but if we're just talking a short list of personal favorites, I really love Megafauna, Frozen Snow Fox's Bionics, and Cyber Fauna. (Oh and a shameless self-plug for my own mods)
Thanks!
I think hours in RimWorld should be divided by 10 for realistic number of hours played since so much of the game is waiting. :)

Highly recommend trying dwarf fortress if you like rimworld!
Ive been having a lot of fun with Dyson sphere. Good entry if you're interested in factory games.
Definitely a great game. Recently had a pretty big update adding enemies and combat that has been fun so far but you can also just disable combat mode for a chill time building your swarms/spheres
I knew the sale was here cuz I had a huge email from "isthereanydeal" 😂
Anyone got recommendations for cheap or interesting indie games this sale?
I bought Touhou Artificial Dreams In Arcadia during the October sale and it is a bit of a hidden gem for fans of the old SMT JRPG games on SNES. I also picked up Lunacid but have not got that far in it, but it seems like a strong revival of the classic Kings Field games.
Boneraiser minions. One of my favorite games this year. It's vampire survivors but you raise minions to attack for you.
I'm enjoying the hell out of Cult of the Lamb
Copying a comment I made on the other site;
Recursed, just £1.67. It is a brilliant puzzle game, completely mind bending stuff about recursion and jumping into chests inside of chests while taking another chest with you so you can jump inside it...
Wonderputt Forever - £2.20. Prettiest minigolf game, animated to excess. Less than an hour to beat unless you go for optional challenges. You may have played the original flash game a decade ago.
Wonderputt looks like a mobile game.
The original predates mobile. Looks like Netflix have put this one on mobile. Still very good so don't let that put you off.
I am so tempted to pick up BG3 again (already have it on PS5). Anyone have experience with it on the SteamDeck?
Not on steam deck but I play it on Linux pc and ps5. One of the coolest things about it is cross save, you can save your game on pc or ps5 then continue from that same spot on the other platform.
Yah the Cross Save is the reason I want to get it on Deck, so I can play on the go 😊
I played it on Steam Deck. It was great. Act 3 was a bit slow, but I didn't mind.
I am thinking of getting it on console so I can experience it with better resolution
I played at release this year, but stopped midway through Act3. I need to pick it up again to finish it off.
Some things are a bit small and apart from cutscene camera angles or really zoomed in there isn't much detail visible on the characters. I played with kb/m inputs mapped to have better utilization of deck controls. Some low fps bits here and there but generally great.
Do it. Mods can really enhance the game, adding new classes and mechanics.
What’s the one game you guys are def buying?
I'm finally going to buy Titanfall 2
Do you know if the DLC is needed to find matches? Do people even use them? Or is it all cosmetic? I too am thinking to come aboard.
The multiplayer is full of ultra skilled people who have played for years, so a steep curve. Best FPS campaign ever though, so I recommend it for that.
I have found that some games like this, sometimes I do really well if only because there is such an established way to do things well that my flailing about catches people off guard. Sometimes not following meta is a shock to expectations. I'll win by sheer incompetence.
All dlcs are cosmetics, some give alternative models to the titans, so they don't give any advantage, also you dont need any of them.
If you join, good luck to you Pilot, may you soar high in your journey (be careful about Viper tho)
No idea, but I heard great things about the campaign
One of the best campaigns I’ve played in a while, if a little short
Sounds like I'll get my $5 worth
I think Grim Dawn. Seems like it would be a nice medium between a spastic first person shooter and the slower pace of Divinity Original Sin.
It's great. And it's got a new expansion coming up in the new year. So now is the perfect time to grab it.
I've also been considering grim dawn for a while now. Last game I played like that was titan quest way back then.

I ran across The Longing just yesterday. Looks unusual, fun, and chill. Seems like a good one to mess with over the holidays.
Btw, GoG has about the same discounts.
And here's a list of over 2000 games supporting Linux: https://www.gog.com/en/games?systems=linux
GOG games are DRM free ladies and gentlemen.
EDIT: Did anyone play Predynastic Egypt? Is it any good? I'm into strategy, economy, etc.
EDIT II: Music in the video of Project Hospital is awesome!
I picked up GTA 4 , I was going to get rdr2 cyberpunk , hogwarts and sifu if they had hit the right price but I'll leave it for a future sale. I picked up the mass effect trilogy earlier this year for 9.99 now its cheaper. I also picked up a humble spaced out bundle too recently so I have tons to keep me busy.
Maybe this will be the actual sale I pull the trigger on Sonic Frontiers I said I wasn't going to spend any money on games for a while but I really sonic and they seemed to have nailed this one.
I also really sonic
