@britt I love this kind of thing! An alternative to befriending randos on Steam is to use a reputable third-party store like Humble, Fanatical, Green Man Gaming, etc., and DM a gift link or Steam code.
I’ve sent you a Steam key for it. By the way, if you don’t know, CDKeys.com is your friend for Steam Keys. You can often get games cheaper on there than directly through Steam.
@keenan@britt Ahh, my pal @rtfm insists it’s one of the best games he’s ever played too but that I am to know nothing about it until I start playing. Makes it a difficult sell.
I’ll move that one up my priority list. If I get a few lazy days over Christmas where I’m tired of Katamari I’ll load it up. But, to quote Samuel Johnson, when a man is tired of Katamari he is tired of life.
@tldr@keenan I love going into things as blind as possible to get the best experience as possible through discovering for myself. Was the right call for Outer Wilds, Tunic, and so far, The Witness.
Also, I must say that I'm very happy to see #Gamesmas happen again. I got a whole bunch of awesome games as a newbie here last year, none of which I'd heard about prior to people posting their lists of Steam keys they were giving away! And since then, I was lucky to be able to give away 2 games of my own!
@britt Last holiday season, kind friends bought me stuff from mine, and I was like oh no, I didn’t intend for anyone to buy me a $50 game! So I removed everything over $12 to a list at isthereanydeal.com. Now my Steam wishlist is modestly long and priced, and I get sale notifications for the rest from isthereanydeal, so it works out well.
@britt Fun idea! My wishlist is currently kind of silly, since I mainly play on console. But there are some that would run on my pretty old Mac, I think. Heavier games will have to wait until I get to upgrade.
I will also go through others' lists to spread some Xmas joy :)
