Current Events > Steam Gift Contest XVI, topic #2. Passing the torch

(+) Yeah! (+)

@Alakazamtrainer will draw 10 names (of those who gifted) and give $10 out for each lucky winner. There may be repeats. Originally it was going to be 5 for $20 with no repeats, but he decided to make it 10 with the chance of repeats . "Spread the love". This will happen 2 days before the sale ends, probably the 7th of July

You may post your wishlist three (3) times in each topic. If you give away bundle codes (opposed to Steam gifts), it takes five (5) = 1 drawing. To keep it fair and give incentive for the sale itself... keys are year round, this is biannual . Remember, you are included in the drawing for giving gifts, not receiving them.

We're taking over for ArchangelBaruch, who ran this for years. I think for the Xmas sale, we should try to crowd-fund the prizes in advance... and maybe even more. Alakazam really helped us out this time, since we weren't ready. Be sure to thank him! Other users have been exceptionally generous as well. Be sure to thank them too!

We've had ~100 gifts so far. Here's the document

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K27xRSXvML0k71z2tAeYa6UEQXaY7QR0j0YLkY9AhYQ/

Once again, Steam sale ends on the 9th. I believe the drawing will be on the 7th, in that case.

You gotta play REmake first before anything

To respond to this... I'm playing RE7 now. I've played 4-6 a lot. I've also played the REmake game on Gamecube, never finished it. 2/3 on PS1

So I'm going to finish Re7, then do a REmake run. 1 -> 0 -> 2 -> 3. I don't own 3 yet, no hurry. Hoping to get it for $25 or less by the time I'm ready

I'm ashamed that I never finished REmake on Gamecube, now's my chance

RE4-7 are so different than the OG games that I barely care

---

I've spent $40 on other people for this sale, and still feel like a bum

Received
The Witcher 3, Yakuza 0, Ys Origin, NBA 2k Playgrounds 2 (bundle key), Sniper Elite 3 (bundle key), Road Redemption, Echoes III, Elder Scrolls IV, Resident Evil (remake), Kerbal Space Program (bundle key), Mass Effect

I wish I had more money to give away, maybe towards the end of the sale. About a week from now, I'll go back into it. You're getting my corona cash in small increments

Y'all are too good for this Earth.

Tag!

This topic has been really fun, all of you guys here rock. I think I can give one more cheaper game but between previous ones in this topic and one for a friend, I'm about spent. x.x I appreciate all the gifts I've gotten in return as well.

Speaking of which, I might start Wuppo tonight, Trout. I'm not sure how long this Dishonored DLC will take, but after that.

---

Nice! Wuppo is that dude

*spills ice cream everywhere*

Highwind07 has given me VVVVVV .

I had this on PS+ but don't always pay for that, or use my Vita much. It's pretty hard but when you clear a screen, you feel like a boss . Gravity type motions, Atari graphics

Thanks!

"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

Soo apparently Steam isn't letting me buy anymore gifts right now. Hopefully that gets fixed soon (trying to send something your way, Highwind)

Edit: Fixed. Looks like disabling "steam overlay while in-game" corrected it... Why it wasn't an issue the past few days, or has anything to do with the store, I'll never know

Steam seems to be playing up

Ah, my very first isometric RPG. Very good memories. <3 <3 <3

It's still not working for me :( and I'm on the website, not the overlay

When the client didn't work, I tried the website and got the same error. Made the overlay setting change in the client and at least was able to make a purchase there, so perhaps give that a try?

After playing both Original Sins years ago I thought "why not".

For sure! If you like their writing and their style of humor, it's definitely more of that. Combat is really different though, action and kind of Diablo-ish.

I am a heron. I have a long neck and I pick fish out of the water with my beak. If you don't repost this comment on 10 other pages, I will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans.

I did that, and:

It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again.

Hmm, at least it's a different error? Can't find any sort of fix for that one on google except waiting. Thankfully it's happening now, when there is still over a week left of the sale, and not the last day.

Edit: Highwind07 just sent me Dead Cells: Bad Seed DLC! Thanks, dude! Wasn't even on sale either ^_^

Thanks for the help!

Hola hermanos.

House Flipper or Witcher III are my most wanted, but anything off there would be cool as hell.

Huh, I'm surprised this is going...I thought it was retired. Howdy, y'all.

Howdy. Was retired, but Trout brought it back. So think of the last one as the Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter and this Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. Or last was Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and this one is Jason X.

I got The Settlers 5 and 7 as I've always wanted to try them out. Thats it though.

I understand the paralyzed thing. I have a gaming computer in my Amazon cart, ready to buy it, but I just can't bring myself to hit that buy button.

I grabbed DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal. Finally built a new PC with my stimulus money and am happy to start catching up on some more resource intense games
