    So it's only for 3 more days, loads of demos of games coming out soon.
    I see a bunch I'd like to try, Mortal Shell II is at the top of my list.

    Anything catch your eye?

    So many look good! But none are out for quite some time! But, there
    are demos for a bunch!

    NextFest isn't really anything I'm interested in. Partly because I
    just don't like playing demos, and partly because I'm not that hot on
    new stuff. It's not that I don't want or like new games; I just don't
    feel the need to try them first. I'll happily let other people (and
    developers) beta-test the ideas and then play the games that come out
    after the bugs are worked out.

    Not to mention, there are reports that a huge percentage of the
    NextFest demos are AI-generated slop, and I don't have the time or
    interest in wading through all that mess.

    Hey Spalls - Hell is us is $20 now. Weren't you debating on getting
    it?


    The game came up a few weeks ago when Steam notified me that a game on
    my wishlist was on sale. For the life of me, I couldn't remember what
    attracted me to the game enough to wishlist it in the first place, and
    I wrote a thread about that. My conclusion was that, while the game
    wasn't too a bad game, it was also on the edge of the sort of game I'm
    usually interested in. Thus, while I'd happily add it to my library
    and maybe even play it, not at the price it was currently offered.

    Which just happens to be the exact same price it is now.

    So, yes, I was debating getting it. No, I'm not buying it now because
    it's still too expensive for my taste. Maybe one day... but not today.

    Besides, I still gotta save up for the inevitable Steam summer sale.
    (or, at least, wait to see what is available first before I spend my
    cash on other games).
