Welcome to the time of year when the sun sets early and everything turns into an ad for Macyās, or Mariah Carey, or MrBeast Burger overnight. For meāa curmudgeonly person whose rent is, devastatingly, almost equal to her birth yearābeing encouraged to spend yet another paycheck on things that wonāt last makes me queasy. On the other hand, my low tolerance for garbage makes me a great Christmas elf: I present to you my list of great gaming gifts under $50.
In it, youāll find video games, useful accessories, and the only kind of shopping I really love to doālow waste, small batch, indie stuff. And because these are my real recommendations, Iād like to think thereās something interesting in this list for everyone, even someone as hard to please as me.
