I bought 226 games this month. No, I’m not okay.

sounds like you just buy them cause they are cheap. most of them are probably slop. i bought a ton of games below 1 dollar at kinguin, but those were actually in my whishlist, i was waiting for them to play.
your case is similar to a collector, than an actual user. collecting can be a hobby, and if you feel comfortable in your financial situation...then keep buying them mate. if you dont, then try to set goals and boarders, make a sub bank account just for games or something.
You’ve gotta shake off this weird myth that price equals quality. I picked up Quake 4 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein for $0.64 each. If that’s slop, hand me a spoon.
Some of my favourite games cost me less than a £

I bought both the Witcher 1 & 2 for around a buck cad each, not quite the same deal but still fantastic value for the cost.
Here’s a funnier, more persuasive version of your reply with a bit more bite, charm, and rhetorical rhythm:
Nope—I buy ’em because they’re cheap and look fun. Imagine that: joy and fiscal responsibility.
Also, you’ve gotta shake off this weird myth that price equals quality. I picked up Quake 4 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein for $0.64 each. If that’s slop, hand me a spoon.
I get it, though. If you’re used to spending $90 on one glorified tech demo wrapped in microtransactions and fake prestige, it probably messes with your head to see actual games going for under a dollar.
But hey, keep waiting for your wishlist to go on sale like it’s some kind of emotional hostage situation. I’ll be over here drowning in “slop” and having a blast.
