I'm not taking part of the winter sale this year. I still have a huge backlog from all the stuff I bought during the summer sale, which was close to my birthday and ended up getting a lot of gifts from friends. That and FFXV is draining my gaming time at the moment.

I still haven't figuratively cracked open Civ 6 or Warhammer 40k: Deathwing, so I probably won't be buying many games this sale.

That said I did watch a video about the game design of Shovel Knight and was convinced to buy it. I think its around $10 on steam right now.

Regarding Mighty No. 9, that game was mega hyped for a what appears to be a flash-tier megaman ripoff. I'm still a bit miffed with them taking sides with the whole Gamergate thing and banning shitlords who paid money to access the forums. https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Mighty_Num...ed_in_GamerGate is a mildly amusing read.

Still, I'd love to be proven wrong if someone has it and says its great.

Shovel Knight was tons of fun. I need to replay it with the other characters or whatever, but it was a blast to play through the first time. Pretty challenging in places, but never cheap or frustrating.

Good pick up.

Wait, what's wrong with Undertale? I thought it was fine for any age but that's relative since I still view the medium as mostly juvenile.

It's not really the game, but its following hailing it as the second coming of Gaming Christ. Remember how insufferable starmen.net people were when it came to Earthbound? Cube that and you have Undertale sycophants.

I get it, derp you can choose not to kill the enemies and that's the point. Isn't that every Peter Molyneux game ever made? How is this somehow groundbreaking?

I don't know what any of that means which is probably why I just thought it was a cool game

I played like an hour, it seems cool enough to hold my interest for awhile. Probably $5 well spent when I factor in that the kiddos will most likely play it, too.

I don't give a shit about the fandom or whatever. Most fandoms are cancer.

THIS. Undertale is not a bad game at all, but yeah, like anything else you really have to ignore the fandom. Especially the one for Undertale, as it's pretty toxic and loves to overhype the game as if it was the second coming, which it most certainly isn't.

Steam and other gaming communities, primarily. The fandom bleeds over into places we may go. I remember reading a gaming music composer thread on NeoGAF and a bunch of fanboys chimed in and said Undertale. (I think that was it) Now I haven't heard the music, but there is no chance that game's music can hang with guys like Geoff Follin and Nobuo Uematsu, who were also mentioned. Just no chance.

Otherwise, yes, it's ignorable.
