They patched the racing mission eventually in the original game so hopefully they do the same or a mod might come out. It’s a game that is well worth finishing and persevering with as the story is great.
I’ll try to be strong and persevere despite my never-ending backlog.
I actually beat the racing mission (pre-patch) on my first try. It was the “stop the Joe Pesci character from getting his ass kicked” mission where I had to tap out.
I think the extra skill trees are fun. But yeah otherwise season pass 2 is ridiculous and over-expensive padding for a game that didn’t need it.
I’ll admit, though, that I did double-dip to get the the base BL3 game + season pass 1 on sale for PS5 when i finally snagged a console a few weeks ago.
The PC version can push more frames, yes, but IMO the PS5 version is superior with the extra controller support, HDR, and ray tracing.

Lots of games on sale, so much Anno!
Time to build them cities/colonies!
Boy if there was ever a visualization of the glut of DLC in this genre, that’s got to be it.
With Nebuchadnezzar coming out on Wed this week I aint interested in all that stuff. But boy there is a lot of stuff!
I aint looking…nope.
BundleFest continues on Fanatical with a Build Your Own Anime Bundle today. 18 titles to choose from at 2 for $9.99, 3 for $13.99 or 5 for $19.99. I don’t know anything about how good some of the titles might be, but several of them are at 90% or greater discounts as part of this bundle.
Also just launched (or perhaps re-launched as it seems familiar) is the All Stars Bundle 13 for $2.99 which includes:

Humble has a new Plug In Digital Bundle with three tiers:
Pay $1 for Steam keys to:

- Hover
- Anarcute
BTA (currently $5.50) and add:
- Sundered : Eldritch Edition

A few stick out:

I don’t know if they’re good or not, but definitely cheaper than they were on Steam. Had a couple on my wishlist so I might bite later. Gal Gun is very NSFW.
The Letter is quite good, if a little awkward in translation occasionally.
Dicey Dungeons is $5 on Steam until tomorrow (~16h remaining).
Imperator: Rome and HOI4:Cadet Ed are $6 each on IndieGala.
Edit: so I posted this in the wrong (2020) thread by mistake because I had it bookmarked, but Discourse would not let me re-post it in the 2021 thread until I edited the deleted one. I do not like this annual topic rebooting convention.
Discourse has a hard time handling giant megathreads with many thousands of posts, so we were gently encouraged to switch up every so often when the transition was made.
I’m pretty sure some of the older forum software would just start eating random posts when it got upset or even just crash.
Not a bargain on games, but did anyone bite on the Mega Music Collection (Royalty-free bundle) from Fanatical? It’s meant for YouTubers and streamers. Don’t know how long it goes for. All the music seems to be by one guy with a Russian-sounding name-- thought I’d mention it in case someone wanted to check it out. $1, 10, and $20 tiers.
I didn’t but I did listen to some of the samples. Not bad.
Slitherine sale on Steam.
Any recommendations? I’m tempted to add a Combat Mission to my backlog and probably never play it. Which is better? Shock Force 2 or Black Sea?
Have you played Battlestar Galactica Deadlock?
If not, that.
I did notice Deadlock is on sale today, $7.99. Kind of looks like that Battlefleet WH40K game, pretty good?
