Good one! It was a bit of a scare for me, fortunately crisis averted without residual effects.

Hmm I usually use the wishlist just to add any game I might want. I don’t intend to buy all the games on it. Helps with gifting and even if u get games for free in a giveaway or cheap in a bundle you can still keep track of what u get.
Sometimes I buy games not on the wishlist it’s too big and hard to navigate steam wishlists anyway. 
I don’t have notifications for it

Telling me. Lately, I go through sometimes and delete stuff, coz I really don’t remember anything about some of the games on there. O_O Stuff I really really want, usually end up on ITAD or GGDeals.
Hm. Backlog is a thing. Soon as I can get my last few compy bits, I want to game more. Playing on potato makes me even more nervous since the last system crash. mew.

For a long time the only way I could buy games from Steam were from selling cards and before that I used Paypal to do so. However, all I could buy were cheap or old games, either on sale or those low budget stuff. I even resorted to “sailing across the seas” to get the games I wanted. But mostly of my games were freebies anyway.
On 2020 thanks to the emergency aid gave by the government due to this horrible virus I could buy a bunch of games that I wanted, even some of those I “downloaded” along the times through some of my mobile apps (I use PIN codes to redeem on my Steam account). Not to mention all the games I got for free through giveaways (Epic Games and this very forums for instance), which helped increased my game libraries to the point I have to keep choosing which game I should play next.
So, don’t lose hope yet: take your time to get the games you want and don’t let these issues get to you. Tough times don’t last forever. Also, not all free games you get are bad or low quality, so you have a chance to get some rough diamonds from the dirt like GTA V.

By the by, when one looks at my Steam Wishlist, one will see that I have a lot of gamedev assets on there, and right now, that’s my focus. In fact, priority #1 for my personal purchases and though any gifts given from any part of my wishlist are accepted, priority #1 from gifts as well.
So yeah; next gift to be given from my wishlist should be one of the numerous VX Ace music packs. Or Time Fantasy. Or DS Pack. 
Yes; all that was on sale this time around and was also during the Autumn sale.
I believe the next big sale for these will be in the Spring. Long wait. VERY.

That’s the spirit.
Set a goal and stick to it, and yes, the next sale will take a while to arrive - https://steamdb.info/sales/history/

It hsppens, heh. But that’s a site created by Steam members with no afiliation with Valve. They even have a neat addon for Firefox.
Anyway, I managed to buy a few more things before it’s over:

The two titles I listed earlier, were gifted to me last by a cute person on Steam.
Don’t know why I didn’t just buy them outright at the start of the sale. It’s like decision paralysis or something. O_O

I made it through a sale without buying anything. I don’t know if I should be proud or concerned.

Remains to be seen, if you can manage to make it until the spring sale without running out of interesting games you already own then be proud.
…actually there’s probably going to be a Chinese new year sale before then.

Well I got a new PoE league a week from friday so that should keep me busy for 3 months.

Depending on size of your backlog it could be a seriously proud moment

… i “caved” and bought something… apparently i didn’t have the Hollow Knight soundtrack already, somehow? @_@ - so felt like i had to rectify that 
and rebought the developer supporter cosmetic dlc pack for Grim Dawn on GoG
so i’m not proud, not because i caved, but because i should already have made these purchases prior - and at the same time means i didn’t make it through a sale with no purchase like i had hoped for once

Well i just went to steamdb to check and it says i’ve only played 18% of the games I have.

Don’t feel bad I’ll probably cave at some point as well. I was thinking about a path of exile supporter pack but just waiting for the new league specific ones to be released during the announcement. I wasn’t feeling the look of the new core packs they released except one of the top tier ones. I’m not paying like 240$ for it even tho I would get that one and every other pack below that tier.

Ooops, I knew I forgot something. I was gonna pick up Grim Dawn. lol well, I would have preferred it on GOG anyhow, hopefully it goes back on sale soon.
Anyhow, I picked up Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice before the sale ended and it’s so difficult.

Enjoy. I’m still waiting for a bit better discount than 35% . Might as well wait until end of the universe i guess…

it goes on sale pretty “regularly”, specially if you combine humble, gog and steam discount times
but just for “1” platform it’s still not like it’s super infrequent, so even GoG should have it a “couple” of times this year

Well, I’ve managed to buy a good selection of games, plus there’s also all the freebies I got from Epic, GOG and Steam (counting the giveaways and gifts here) so I’ll have plenty of options until the next sale.
