GoG seems to be having a bit of a fire sale for the new year.

https://www.gog.com/promo/2022_new_year_unforgettable_journeys

Probably a lot of people have these games, but it reminded me of the old
days when a sale was a sale.

Worth checking out.

Seems a computer engineer, a systems analyst, and a programmer were
driving down a mountain when the brakes gave out. They screamed down the
mountain, gaining speed, but finally managed to grind to a halt, more by
luck than anything else, just inches from a thousand foot drop to jagged
rocks. They all got out of the car:
The computer engineer said, "I think I can fix it."
The systems analyst said, "No, no, I think we should take it
into town and have a specialist look at it."
The programmer said, "OK, but first I think we should get back
in and see if it does it again."

I am strongly tempted by "Horizon Zero Dawn", but $25 is more than I'm
in the mood to spend for a single game (especially since recent
history has taught me that if I just wait a year or three, I'll get
the game for free ;-).

I'm somewhat tempted by "Cyberpunk 2077", except concerns about the
game's quality and performance, and a general aversion to the setting
make me doubt it is worth its $30 price (at least for me).

I'd like to add "X4" to my library, but if I'm going to pay $30 for
it, I probably should play X3 (and all its add-ons) first, dontcha
think?

"Chernobylite" tempts me too, except my general distrust of Indies and
the reviews that indicate it gets a bit repetitive make me leery.
Maybe when it's cheaper. ;-)

It's hard to get excited about sales when you know you already have
thousands of other games to entertain you just waiting to be
installed. It does save me a lot of money, though. Sure, it /cost/ me
a lot of money to get to this point, but at least it's paying off now.
;-)

I hope I don't start to distrust Indie games. They are the only ones
making the old school RPGs that I like so much. I have several of them
installed and ready to go but I am still messing around with the
freebies right now.
