Hey guys, I usually hang around the discussions without saying much, but now I've actually got something to say! tl;dr at the end.

I had a case of bad luck for the past six months, when it came to finding work. I put in dozens of applications, and nobody called me back. I tried getting myself out there, but nothing seemed to come through. I had some disagreements (to say the least) with my father, and there wasn't much I could do. I came on here almost daily, just to give myself something to do if I needed to take my mind off things. I cut down on all of the giveaways I entered because I didn't want to take too much without giving anything of value back.
I finally nabbed myself a cashiering job at the grocery store down the street, and they offered me just above the minimum wage (which I happily accepted). While I don't have quite enough money saved up to give away a copy of DOOM, I decided to giveaway a couple cheaper games that I really, really enjoy. They may not be to everyone's liking, but they're all great games in their own way.

TL;DR I've gotten myself a job finally after no luck for months on end, and while I can't do huge trains of non-bundled games like I wanted to (yet), I wanted to drop a few cheaper games over here first. I may add more games on at some point, depending on how many people see this. ;w;

Three giveaways, Level 1 minimum, SGtools-protected. Very basic rules. -

Edit: Aw, heck. You all are so nice. Got called in for a teensy 4-hour shift, and 12 bucks won't break the bank. Stardew Valley has been added! It's level 2, though, just to let y'all know.

As of 7/1, there are four more cars on the train. Many thanks to Corran for their additions!

Congratz on your new job! :-)

Never let yourself get down just because of missing replies to your applications. It's sadly quite common today. It took me more than 100 applications (less than 20 replies) and more than 1 year of waiting time (which I spent doing phone support with minimum wages) to get where I am right now. Good luck in the future! ;)

Besides not being called back, I had a few people saying it was my fault they weren't doing so, so hearing this from you makes me feel much better about my previously bad luck. Thanks so much, and good luck to you, too! ;w;

Congratulations on getting a job! It's awesome that you find the time to share your story AND give a few games away even though you are probably not going to swim in money :D

I've been in really dire straits myself, so I know what that means :(

Wish you good luck for the future!

Swimming in money wasn't ever my goal, I just wanted to get by and have a little extra spending money, which so far is going well. I'm wishing you luck, as well, and happy Cake Day, by the way! (=

Congratulations! Like so many others, I've been bereft of employment in the past and, thus, can empathize with how discouraging the situation can be; having said that, I applaud your tenacity and genuinely wish you the best in your new position. Here's hoping this is the merely the start of a long streak of good fortune, 2Kawaii...
