Well, you guessed it. It's my Cakeday! My 2nd one to be exact.

It's hard to believe that it's been two years since I signed up for SteamGifts. It seems like only yesterday.
Thanks to everyone who keeps this place chugging along despite it's shortcomings. You're the reason I've stuck around for this long.

To mark this special occasion, here's a small train of recently bundled goodies.

Grab your tickets!

level 4+ and must meet these SGTools requirements: Real CV ratio > 0.8, Number of Won Games < 1000

Note: If you can't get through due to an old VAC ban, leave me a note and I'll see what I can do.

I realize these restrictions might exclude some great community members and contributors. That's never my goal, but I must stick to what works best for me.

On a side note, I recently achieved two other milestones:

  • I made it to level 8 last week. I don't care about CV or levels anymore, but I guess it's something to be proud of even if it won't make a tangible difference to my experience.
  • I finally played 50% of my wins on SG. You can see my progress over in this BLAEO list. It's been a fun process! One of my goals for 2024 is to reach the 75% mark and tackle some of my bigger wins. I'm saving the best for last.

Now hold on a second... I've been here for longer than you have? Baffling...

Happy cake day, PK! Congratulations on lvl8, 50% and good luck for 75%! :)

It's hard to believe that it's been two years since I signed up for SteamGifts.

I had the opposite reaction as I went "wait, PoeticKatana has been on SG for only two years?" :D
My perception of time is struggling, but regardless: Happy factory day!

Congrats on your cakeday and your milestones!

I was surprised I got in, I overestimated my won games AND underestimated my ratio. There is some great stuff in there, thanks!

Congrats on the 50% milestone! Just think... if you win a few more games, you can strive for that milestone again!
What game(s) are you currently playing?

Thanks Fitz!

Haha! Interesting strategy, but I think I'm ready to move on to bigger and better things than 50% :)

As far as games, I don't have anything long currently in progress. I just finished up Firewatch which I bought yesterday and I have a few more short games lined up for this month's PAGYWOSG event, the most notable of which is Tinykin. I'm also halfway through Lego Builder's Journey on Epic.

You finished Firewatch in a day or two? Do you feel you got your money's worth?

Yeah, I think so. It's a short walking simulator so I knew going in that it would be a simple, narrative-based game that I could finish in one sitting and it delivered perfectly on those expectations. The story was engaging with good dialogue and fantastic voice-acting that made the characters relatable. Nothing felt forced or over the top. I had a good time exploring the environment. It felt realistic with interesting little details all over the place, as if you're hiking in a real location.

I enjoyed the game as a work of art and as an interactive story. To me, it was worth the cost. I have no problem with games being short if they provide a unique, memorable experience.
