Steam Summer Sale is going on until July 9th. Whatcha getting?
I picked up:
Rage
Dishonored
Cradle
cost me around $10 for those three.

I have so many Steam games sitting unplayed already...
Would really like to get a cheap gaming computer to play them (most have low requirements as they are old games) but just haven't been able to justify the cost yet. One day it will happen.

Between the massive library I already have and the upcoming 32-bit apocalypse I'm not really interested in taking advantage of the sale.

Unwilling to buy more games because of unplayed games? Jon Lindemann would be rolling over in his grave right about now!

I don't let that stop me on Switch, but for whatever reason it has on Steam.

Steam sales have lost their luster. Between the broadening of PC game platforms with similar discounts (GOG, Epic, Origin) as well and the reliably cyclical nature of these digital discounts on said platforms, the Summer sale--or any sale for that matter-- has lost all sense of uniqueness and urgency. I have seen nearly all of the games on my Steam wishlist on sale for great deals, and I know they will be back with even better deals down the road.
Couple that with a bulging backlog already existing from prior sales and Humble Bundles and you get to where a lot of people are today.
As with Insanolord, the Switch has an exemption in my book, but it has even dampened my purchasing there as well.

I am usually on these sales but right now I need to get a new external hard drive to hold all my games since my internal one died last year and I had to replace it with one less than the hard space I had which was 1 TB.

Oh, I'm willing to buy games. It's needing to buy new hardware that becomes a blocking issue for me. (Thankfully. With hundreds of games in my backlog WITHOUT considering unplayed Steam games, I'm pretty much set for life...)

That's not bad. But honestly, a part of me is holding out hope they port Chrono Trigger to Switch.
Otherwise, there really aren't a lot of games I'm jonesing to buy that I haven't already in some shape or form. Or like Chrono Trigger, waiting to see if they appear on Switch.
Then there's cases like Return of the Obra Dinn where i'm kinda bummed it's only a 10% discount.
