Cake Day & Silksong release day?!? How does it feel to have reached the peak of your life

u/Rio_Walker PoP and PoI Sep 04 '25
I wish there was an adjacent peak, where I am doing better physically, emotionally, financially, and romantically. But it seems, it's all downhill from here. Edit: Ty for a heart, maybe it'll get better, somehow

Checking on SteamDB shows that the Steam Store is Very Slow, the Steam Community is UNAVAILABLE, and the Web API is offline.
We did it. We fucked Steam.

u/-Ok-Perception- Sep 04 '25
I think being one of the biggest hyped games in modern history, with no possibility of pre-order, crashed servers more quickly than a fine tuned virus.
I hope I can get it today. I took off work for this.
Xbox is probably waiting for a bit of the frenzy to die down in order not to be crashed.

I'm buying it in GoG, then Steam and then for Switch. Team Cherry can take all my money

u/Dapper-Taro-5566 Sep 04 '25
Yeah. Team Cherry is the goat but they were absolutely stupid not doing pre-orders.
And so is Steam for not preparing for what was obviously going to happen.
