"I played a little of the meta-game with gems, but didn't win any of the auctions I bid on. I ended up getting enough gems to create one booster pack for a game I was close to having a badge for...and realized after the fact that just buying the cards themselves would have been cheaper.\n \nNow I've got about 340 gems left over, with no cosmetics or cards I want to get rid of. I'll probably trade them to a friend somewhere down the line, now that they're worth such a tiny, tiny amount.\n \nFor actual games, I was a little reserved this sale. We're trying to save funds for various reasons, so my budget was around $30. For that, I got:\n\nA Golden Wake \nBlackwell Epiphany \nHalf Life 2, HL2: Ep1, HL2: Ep2 \nCar Mechanic Simulator \nRogue Legacy \nTransistor \nBrothers - A Tale of Two Sons \nThe Banner Saga \n\nPlus, my friend bought me a copy of The Talos Principle, which I'm particularly excited about playing.\n \nRight now, I'm playing through Half Life 2 for the very first time. Would you believe I've successfully avoided spoilers for an entire decade?\n"
