See, now when I do play it, I’ll have the whole series just waiting for me. Smart, huh?
So I went to look up the origin of the image in this macro and it turns out that almost this exact meme (unplayed Steam games) was like the first iteration of it in meme form, appearing only a hour after the original photo was posted to Reddit.
This is actually impressive… It’s like when species go extinct and then rebreed themselves back into existence.

My favourite Steam game is called “spending money unwisely”. Ooh that dopamine hit when the “Thank you for your recent Steam purchase” message comes in" (chef’s kiss).
Now I can buy all the profile background I want from the Points Shop! And then only use the one I’ve always been using for decades…
“Why is this game so outdated? Oh, right, I got it in a Humble Bundle 17 years ago.”
This is why I stopped buying games. I still have a massive backlog (like everyone else) but it’s a list, not a Steam library.
Don’t get sucked in by Steam sales. You’re not saving money by buying games you’re never going to play!
After all, why not? Why shouldn’t I play Enter the Gungeon for the millionth time instead of Expedition 33 (which I’ve paid good money for)
Dude Expedition 33 is so worth it though. The story, that satisfaction of getting a fight smoothly, the world building. It all just works so well
I have a question for ya, I only means of playing any time soon is on a steam deck. is it the kind of game that I should play on lowish settings, or should I wait until some day when I have a PC
It’s absolutely playable on the steam deck - beat the game that way with no regrets.
That said, do yourself a favor and lookup the graphics settings to use. By default, it uses a preset “Steamdeck” option with absolutely atrocious graphics - and completely unnecessarily! It can actually run the game at much higher settings with almost no FPS impact.
(I know people say that kind of thing all the time, but I’m telling ya, in this case it really is a night and day difference).
Will it be as nice as a gaming PC? Obviously not, but I was honestly really impressed with what it could do. The game is well optimized.
If you struggle to find settings, let me know, I can try to dig em up later.
that is a very pleasantly surprising thing to hear!
I’ve not got a steam deck so I’m going off general knowledge here. I think it’s a bit much for the thing. I know it runs because my friend is using it to play but he says the graphics definitely take a hit. The game probably uses a hidden ultra-low preset.
The nature of the game really begs for stable 60+fps and quick Google says it only hits 45 at most on steam deck. Probably why my friend is struggling.
thanks for the reply, I suspected that the way to play is with the pretty turned up. I’ll keep that in the mental backlog haha
They recently had an update and my potato PC that was struggling to play it on Linux suddenly was able to play it on low moderate settings.
I then bought a video card and it is smooth AF, but that was a long-planned purchase.
This is known.
I’ve gotten through 3 areas in Expedition 33. Then Silksong derailed E33 playtime. Then I started playing more and more of my little emulation console (Retroid Pocket 5) and I’m loving playing the old roguelites on that. I’ll get back to E33… soon™
You’re getting in the last plays of gungeon before exp33 slays it and takes its place as your new forever game.
My low point was buying that Harry Potter game on release. Still haven’t started it, don’t even remember the name, I’m nearly 50 and really hate HP.
Hogwarts Legacy? It has great graphics, a really cool set, and fun gameplay, unfortunately the characters are morally deranged and the plot is not that great. And buying it gives money to a woman of questionable beliefs, I guess.
Yeah but they put a single trans person in it so that… So that… So that’s something I guess. Better than not I suppose.
Yep that one. Bought it just to keep lightweight rpgs coming after Midnight Suns. I guess then bg3 happened. Thanks for the info. Should probably at least try it out someday since jk already got a hold of my pennies.
I did this with borderlands 3 way back when. Got it at half price but didn’t get round to it until a good year and half later. By then it was even cheaper than when I bought it.
Slowly realising the games will still be there, sale or not. Got to learn not to buy more until my weekly routine needs an addition that isn’t already in the backlog.
I still have ps2 games in my backlog (physical collection)… won’t even say how many ps3-5 games I’ve got sitting… but it’s a lot.
Replaying botw for the dozenth time tho, then probably horizon zero dawn, I only need to do the hardest mode on that and I’ll have done it on every difficulty to 100% at least once.
Anybody else read “massive backlog” wrong?
Yep, British Broadcasting Corporation
What? I don’t get it. What does the BBC have to do with Steam?
Removed by mod
Hey baby, you ever seen a British Broadcasting Corporation as big as this one?
I don’t know if it was meant as a joke or pure innocence, but just in case :
BBC in the adult entertainment refers to a big black 🐓, hence the original joke on the “massive backlog” (log meaning penis I guess)
Games about BBC and other fetishes were recently removed? It’s a guess, no snark.
I immediately interpreted it as PM-speak for “technical debt.” May have spent too long in software.
It’s your digital “pile of shame”.
I wonder what the story is of the original photo
I’ll play monster train till I die apparently I brought like 8 games during the last “steam sale” and old played 30mins of 4 of them but just keep booting up MT
But not MT2?
Maybe when I eventually buy it ill play that instead lol
After the Definitive Editions release I’ve been replaying through Grand Theft Auto 3D universe for like the fourth time. Gotta get all the newest copies to 100%…
