🐕 The Story Behind 1me
1me is a one-person passion project built by a gamer, deal hunter, and collector who got tired of checking six different sites just to find out if a game was worth buying — and where to get the best price.
The name? Named after Meeshka — a brindle rescue Korean Jindo with 19 toes (yes, really) and extremely expensive taste in dog food. She's the mascot, the motivation, and the reason there's a hat on the logo.
What started as a personal tool to track deals and collections has grown into something bigger:
- •Deals & Pricing — Real-time prices across Steam, GOG, GMG, Humble, and more. WTF-level deals highlighted automatically.
- •Collection Tracking — Sync your Steam library, track digital and physical games, see market values.
- •Wishlists & Franchise Follows — Save individual games or follow entire franchises to stay on top of every deal across a series.
- •Game Discovery — 50,000+ titles. Browse by franchise, genre, platform. Indie gems next to AAA.
- •Smart Recommendations COMING SOON — Personalized picks based on your play style, library, and genres.
- •Jindo Selector COMING SOON — A genre personality quiz that themes your whole experience to your gaming style.
A game site for gamers. No corporate fluff, no algorithm farming your attention — just good deals, honest info, and a 19-toed dog who approves every deploy.

🐾 What Exactly Is a Korean Jindo?
A Jindo is essentially a ninja trapped in a dog's body: intensely loyal, ridiculously smart, and convinced they are the CEO of your household. In short, owning a Jindo isn't having a pet — it's co-existing with a very fluffy, very smart landlord.
- 🐕The "One Person" Delusion: They will adore you, but only after you've passed a 3-year trial period of rigorous, undisclosed testing. Everyone else is just "the person who doesn't feed me."
- 👀They Don't Bark, They Judge: A Jindo rarely barks without reason. Instead, they will stare at you with intense, calculating eyes, silently judging why you are wearing socks with sandals.
- 🥩Highly "Trainable" (For Them): They are geniuses, but they follow the "What's in it for me?" philosophy of life. Expect them to learn "Sit" immediately, but "Come" only if you have prime steak.
- 🏃The Escape Artist: If a Jindo wants to go somewhere, no fence is high enough, and no door is locked enough. They are part liquid, part Houdini.
- 🦊The "Side-Trot" of Confidence: They walk with a unique, arrogant sideways trot, perfectly displaying their utter belief that they own the sidewalk, the park, and your house.
- 👑Aloof? More Like "Exclusive": They aren't snobs; they just have extremely high standards for friendship. If a Jindo likes you, you've achieved peak social status.
- 🧼Clean Freaks: They are cleaner than cats, often grooming themselves to stay pristine — which is ironic considering they are likely walking through mud to hunt bugs later.
Meeshka has 19 toes, judges every git commit, and her treat budget is why this site has affiliate links.
