This month, I bought 226 PC games for C$185.82 ($134.58)

Now are those a lot of games? Yes, it's a silly amount of games. Perhaps I'm addicted to good deals that deliver fun.

We all have a vice, and this is mine. I don't drink, or smoke, or gamble -- but I buy lots and lots of video games.

Though back when I was a console gamer, I'd might get eight games for that price -- if I were lucky.

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.
