STEAM SALE APOCALYPSE
Alert: Steam's servers have officially been replaced with a buffering wheel of despair 🔄😩

Symptoms include:

- Pages loading slower than my grandma's knitting circle 🧶
- Wishlists disappearing into the void, never to be seen again 📝
- Cart refusing to hold more than 3 games without spontaneously emptying itself 🛍️
- And the crowning glory: being unable to buy games because "something went wrong" 🤯

Theories:

- Steam's servers are secretly a sentient being trying to protect us from overspending 💸
- The Steam sale is actually a social experiment to test our patience and sanity 🧘‍♂️
- Valve has replaced the servers with a potato 🥔 (don't @ me, it's a plausible explanation)

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, know you're not alone. We're all in this together, staring at our screens, refreshing ad infinitum 🔄💻

TL;DR: Steam sale = internet apocalypse. Send help (and a strong Wi-Fi signal) 🛟"

🕳️💻 Anyone else having this issue or is it just my ISP (Internet Slowpoke Protocol)? 🤣"

The one supposedly happening that's completely broken. And no, it's not just you. Can't access either my cart or wishlist.

At this rate, we'll have to play the neglected games already in our libraries!

Careful… if you open one of those, it might still be downloading the tutorial from 2015
