Yeah, I picked up Balatro. I had played a demo I think at some point, although there doesn't appear to be a demo available now. Anyway, clearly the main strategy is stack effects (add before you multiply). But 12 hours in I haven't managed to complete a run yet. So, definitely still learning...

I bought Balatro + Slay the Spire BUNDLE for $21.72 Cdn
15% off for Balatro + 75% off for Slay the Spire + 10% overall for Bundle

I picked up Titanfall 2 for 3$ last night and I should have played this earlier.

Undertale is currently 90% off. 99 cents.

Anything good?

Of this sale and recent buys still on sale, the most interesting:
Beware my likes affected by playing with my own C.E. cheats up to superjump/glide, regedit, teleport, glovepie keys & mouse addings, etc, so no typical plays.

- Best easily:
Jack Holmes Master of Puppets - Beautiful game, blew my mind, starts tame but gets epic.
Fantastic FPS horror, material for 4 or 5 games in just 1.

- Very good !
Tower of Mask - FPS lone hero grid dungeon, get pistol, cheated ammo, ++98,162
Souldiers - 2D metroid, playing now and loving this madly, but again, I mod it to hell.
RoboCop Rogue City - FPS
Immortals Fenyx Rising +Myths of the Eastern Realm (China,6hs), hey, very good with free Flingtrainer super jump, and what not, and my own crazy tweaks.

- Beyond Hanwell - not perfect but great moments, FPS horror (isn't Welcome to Hanwell, not good)

- To play
Deformed - horror FPS , score ++96,103
SCP Fragmented Minds - 3rd FPS horror, ++93,716, EA 01-25
Black Skylands - 2d-3d topdown, base build, opnwrld, ++82,2399
Gunhead - FPS ships alien robots, bundled with the excellent Cryptark
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous Enhanced Edition +Visitor from Morta free DLC (no other DLC for now)
Blacktail - action advent story rich
Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition

- Surely not the best but I'm a rabid fan of NACON games, so got most of what I hadn't yet:
Clash Artifacts of Chaos - weird alien brawler action adventure
Paranoia Happiness is Mandatory -+48,25
Gangs of Sherwood - 3rd shooter Cyberpunk -+40, 86
Werewolf The Apocalypse Earthblood 3rd ARPG actadv +-70,930

- Etc, etc.

Spiritfarer is $3, which is a steal. 2D side scroller metroidvania + lightweight farming. It’s bright and colorful with incredible animation, and a story that is designed to smash your heart with a hammer, repeatedly. My wife had to stop because she couldn’t bear to send one of the characters to the beyond. I finished it; it’s fantastic but it’s a game about death, and it doesn’t flinch.

Appreciate the recommendation!

I miss getting trading cards for the discovery queue.

Well, you get 9 stickers this time around...it's 'cheaper' for Steam to do that than run the risk of losing a couple pennies on the trading cards
