So began today what was perhaps inevitable: those folks who run that Steam thing have allowed themselves to admit to themselves that their wonderful Steam Sales are just that: sales. But also: wonderful. Instead of waiting until the middle of the week, weekend, or holidays celebrating dead people, they’re just going to have the things every damned day. For the rest of time.* Although all that other stuff will surely still occur.
As that jerk Mr. Prosser once told Arthur Dent, “I’m afraid you’re going to have to accept it.”
Stay apprised of new sales via 140 character world or social land. Or just log into Steam every day.

*Refers to Human Standard Time. Yet-to-evolve sapient species of Earth may choose to discontinue these sales without notice to customers.
If I see a sale, it makes me sweaty and anxious. I do not like to be sweaty and anxious. Therefore, I must necessarily stay logged out of steam, for the rest of time. QED.
Good lord.
Every day I dream the same steam.
I have enough impulse control issues, now this?! I’m doomed.
What’s it say about me that my immediate reaction was, “Oooohhh, wonder what’s on sale now!”
Sigh. Well, it’s begun, my slow slide into poverty.
Singularity – $10.99. Eleven dollars to shoot as many Nazis as you want while traveling in time? It’d be irresponsible not to buy it.
That one tempted me, but I said to myself this is just going to be $2 in a few months… why not wait?
We’re sick. This is a terrible, terrible illness.
Oddly, xtal, I thought the exact same thing – it’ll be $2 at the holiday sale. Just hold off. It’s not supposed to be that good anyway. People are starving in the third world. A penny saved is a penny earned. Apple a day. Etc etc etc.
It was like my clicking hand guided itself.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior. $5. Someone kill me now.
