BTW Amazon Codes don't have an expiration date so you can buy over 3 years.

3 years is the most you can accumulate for GPU, correct?

Redeem, yes, but you can buy 10 years of GP from Amazon if you wanted and just redeem 3 years at a time, and each year redeem another year. Your availability to redeem them never expires.

Seems like you can only buy 2 (maybe 2 at a time?)

eh. I'm good now. if i bought anymore i would never remember i had them. who even knows if I'll be around in 3 years or care about gaming? pretty sure i will, but you never know...

Yeah, I have an email folder for unused gift cards, but it always makes me nervous.
Plus, as I said, I'd wait for a better BF deal. Even last week there were better deals than this one (only a dollar cheaper, but still).
Every previous November I have loaded up on 3 mo cards in the $30-$35 range.

I'd definitely buy more at that price. 1 year would only be $120 at a $30/3mo. price. much more reasonable with the higher Ultimate rate. that's just ridiculous.

New Day One Game out today, from Double Fine. Sounds kind of cool.

The reviews have been glowing. Since Ghost of Yotei still isn’t really drawing me in, I think I’m going to take a break from that and give Keeper a shot. Maybe a palette cleanser will help.

thanks Deck. downloading now. it does look good.

Anyone else playing Ball X Pit? Im seriously addicted its such a fun game combines so many genres. Im on Stage 3 the difficulty really ramps up but the power ups are awesome and help a lot.

I am torn on Keeper. It's gorgeous and cute, but I really struggle between the fixed camera position and trying to aim the light. Inverting the controls hasn't helped either. It's not intuitive to me to point right at what I want the light to shine at, and that's very frustrating to me. I think I had a similar issue with Plague Tale.

Also Keeper has the weirdest disclaimer I have ever seen :

Didn’t Hogwarts have a similar warning? At minimum, I know you can change the spiders in that game into goofy looking enemies which are almost more unsettling…

Dead platform has some good additions to Game Pass coming soon.

Atomfall was already there, wasn't it? Did it go and come back, or was it in Alpha before and now ready for prime time? Or did it just drop into a cheaper tier?

Nice add for those who didn't already pick up Star Wars Outlaws cheap during the holidays (I admire your restraint). I really enjoyed that game.

I liked Space Marine II, so I'm curious to see how that Space Marine remake (? /Remaster?) is.

Mio is what seems to be a pretty but difficult Metroidvania type game. They rarely let you access the map and you must mostly rely on your own memory. Sounds like a difficult game and easy to get lost. So I know I'm out, but it might be popular with Ori fans.

the last one is right. Some games will be added to Ultimate at first then lower tiers later.

yeah I bought it earlier this year and I’m still playing through it. Excellent game with satisfying gameplay.

I’ll definitely give it a shot.

I played about 20 minutes of Brews & Bastards. Excellent twin stick controls and very smooth performance (on my PC), with a bit of some Hades vibes. Enjoyed it and may put more time into it, but honestly, it just reminded me that I need to go back and finish Hades and play Hades II.

I bought Outlaws for $20 and returned it unopened last week because I figured it was going to be added to Gamepass soon.

I thought you played it via Ubisoft + or something like that? Did you start it?

Some more big games coming soon :

Yeah. I enjoyed it. Didn’t get too far.

This new game Relooted dropped today for Game Pass Ultimate. Kind of a funny premise - you are an African, stealing looted artifacts back from museums. (Yes it's causing a certain sector of the internet to lose their collective minds).
I like the idea of a single-person heist game. Not sure I've played one in quite a while.

Extra! Extra! Game Pass Ultimate is too expensive now!
