Board 8 > B8's 7th annual Steam Secret Santa

I sent some PMs to Kora and his alt the last week of November, but I don't think that he's been on for awhile, so I decided to go ahead and make a late topic for this. If you are reading this Kora, feel free to make your own topic or take over for me with this one.

For those new to Steam Secret Santa, if you would like to participate this year, please make sure to post a link to your Steam wishlist (make sure your account is public so we can see it). You can also provide supplementary info to help your secret santa such as PC/laptop specs, favorite games/genres, or anything else you feel like sharing.

Once the sign-up period ends, everyone will be randomly assigned a secret santa. You'll receive a PM (you can request a Discord DM if you would prefer that) with who you'll be giving a gift to and have until Christmas Day to send send them their gift(s). Please either respond to the PM or post in this topic when you have sent your gift so we know.

I have participated in each of the the previous six years, and I am heavily leaning toward doing this again. Since I would be doing the drawing and everything, I would know who my secret santa is. If that sucks the magic out of this for you, you can opt out of you potentially being my secret santa should I do decide to participate. There's no hard feelings there as I totally understand.

Also, not a requirement, but if you could post here once you've received your gift I would like love to catalog everything and send it to Kora since he liked to keep a record of it.

The recommended spending limit for this event will be $15 (Kora, a Canadian, never actually specified in previous years if he meant USD, so I won't either). This is just a recommendation. You are allowed to spend more or less.

Sign-ups are open from now until December 20th at 11:59 PM ET. A quick search showed me several leaks that showed the winter sale beginning on December 22nd, so assuming that is correct, I can get everything sent out via PM (or Discord DM upon request) here on the 21st and give people time before the sale to think of some potential gift ideas.

Please send out all gifts by December 25th. While most of us live in places where gifting isn't an issue, there was one year where multiple people had issues sending out gifts to their person (I had to be the middle man for someone living in Hong Kong to send out their gifts). Please let us know if someone has an issue this year sending out gifts, and I'm sure someone can step up to help.

Hopefully this time next year I'll have a better one

In again

https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198025034078#sort=order

Usual preface: I have a good amount of free games on my wishlist which simply serves as a backlog to what I need to play (I usually try out any free game whether I'm a fan of the genre or not). Also, I need to edit the wishlist to give more options and show more variety of the kind of games I am interested in. As always, specs don't matter, my only preference is that the game(s) is either only available on PC or that it is by far the best version of that game.

I don't need to post my own wishlist, but I do have 250 items on there, so maybe some of you would like to check it out and see if there's any games on there that you would like to add to your own wishlist.

It isn't exactly ordered. I went through all the games and picked out 25 released ones that I may want above all else and tried my best to order them from there, but 26-250 are definitely in no order at all.

Oops, my bad.

https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/Wicklebee/#sort=order

I believe that works? But then to post specs...
I'm a bit basic with what I have, cheaper laptops but not like... incapable of doing anything. 4GB Ram and inbuilt graphics. Most of the time you don't have to worry unless you really wanted to buy something that came out this past year. Then I have to wait till I get an upgrade before I play it. (You may or may not see my Discord saying I'm playing Genshin Impact occasionally).

I'm in too.

https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/iceman1956/#sort=order

Specs aren't an issue - I can run most things already and I plan to upgrade in the next year or so to the point that there's probably not much I'd have any trouble with.

Wishlist is ordered pretty well, but I have a pretty varied taste and usually enjoy trying most things so obviously feel free to go off the board. Only genres I tend not to like are WRPGs, FPSs, and visual novels. I love JRPGs in particular but I've probably played almost all of the big ones on console at some point. Other than that, open season!

My specs aren't whizbang but it doesn't matter for most games I like. I'd encourage you to avoid games that rely heavily on (actual) mouse or controller but I can make them work if I need to.

You go to your profile > games > Wishlist.

Listing your profile does usually offer a way for other people to see it as well, but in your case... I can see everything except your games!

You have to make those settings public. That said, "You go to your profile > games > Wishlist." didn't make any sense to me when I was first trying to do this because I never log into Steam through the website and if there's a way to do it through the app, I couldn't find it.

You can find it the same way through the steam client on PC. You can also find it on the store tab, which I guess is the easier way. I just always do it through the profile for whatever reason.

On the Steam app I think it's under the store tab, though I'm not sure how you would get the link for it.

Did they change how profile privacy worked? I just looked and saw that you could set different parts of your profile to public/private. I swear a while ago it was only your entire account you could set to public to private (of course I did in once in like 2012 or something, and never went back so who knows when they actually changed it)
