What do you guys use? I personally like Glitchwave for it's powerful chart building and the user reviews as a whole tend to align with my own.

Backloggd also pretty cool but a little more limited to use, and harder to dig up the old old stuff as its algorithms strongly favor newer.

Anyone else use these or have recommendations of their own?

Some of the games I've spent the most time on are games I've discovered through his channel (Dwarf Fortress, Caves Of Qud, Hardspace Shipbreaker, HighFleet, Synthetik, etc...).

I also like to browse grey market aggregators to snatch cheap stuff on discount.

Other than that, Steam sales popup, GamePass, Lemmy PatientGamers.

I don't think grey market is ethical... You better off pirating games than paying the thieves.

Exactly. I used to occasionally buy from grey markets due to cost, but then I realized where they tend to get their keys.

Either buy from an established store, or pirate.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
