All the games are now available on the website I made (see link below), so I have marked the other posts as [CLOSED].

Sorry for the delay everyone. I got involved in Christmas, and needed to figure out a way to post and distribute my extra Steam keys without spending 3 hours every day to do it.

I have created a solution, not a pretty one and probably not robust, but I hope it will survive for a week or so until all the games are taken. It was a chance to step back from CMSs and web frameworks, and program closer to old school days. (I started web programming in 2001, when things were much more primitive than now!)

You still get to submit 5 requests per day, and I will do my best to apportion the keys fairly.

Go to https://xmas2024.stillbrook.org/ to view the games and make your requests. Use your Lemmy username so that I can send you the keys.

Currently games up to "R" are available; the rest will be posted each day.

I cannot believe you are still going strong on this! Thank you so much!

Honestly. Take your sweet time with it, I don't think anyone minds waiting a few weeks until they get their keys, there are so many high quality games in there.

there are so many high quality games in there.

Especially today: Civilisation 5, STALKER, Satisfactory, Super Meat Boy, etc

Nice website! We really appreciate the effort and generosity you are putting in!

Requesting 5 games from a website felt a bit soulless, but it was also notably likely to be much easier for you and also kinda neat

Should add a bad wreath PNG somewhere!

Awesome to see this still going. Its very much appreciated. I requested some titles on the site. Thanks again!

[–] Corr@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

This is very generous, very cool that you're doing this

[–] kabi@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Hot damn! 01.07 has some bangers! Picked some earlier ones for myself, thanks again!

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 1 month ago

Woohoo, let the party continue!

Thanks!

Happy new year, glad to see you back with your generous giveaway 🙂

It is very appreciated

Can people who have already received from previous days participate? There's so many games I doubt there's enough people on Lemmy to actually claim them all

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I was just thinking about that last night. If anyone else has extra keys, I would be happy to add them to the list. It doesn't take very long, regardless of the number, now that the system is set up.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, IIRC it’s 5 games per day per person

[–] BadlyDrawnRhino@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks for doing these giveaways! I meant to request games before now but never got around to it. Happy to see 2Dark, it's been on my wishlist for quite awhile now.

[–] Mutterwitz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you, made my day 😃

[–] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 1 points 1 month ago

I recommend someone pick up epistory: typing chronicles. I bought it years ago and it's very good

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

That's amazing! Website does exactly what's needed. Thank you for the opportunity, I have submitted requests.

Hey Thanks again! So many patient games listed on this. OMG! Sid Meier games! And all the good Star Wars games. I’ve made a few requests to fill in the gaps in my games.

[–] noxet@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just made account on here today and this is what welcomes me? Thank you.

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Welcome to Lemmy! 😊

I messed up when sending my account name, so I have sent two requests with the same games.

Sorry for the trouble.
