dont care about the giveaways ... but had fun reading your rant
Guess one persons misery is truly entertainment for others :D
btw ... reminds me .. if you check out some of the worst lowballers,
you'll find that their trade posts have "NO LOWBALLERS" etc. written, almost in neons.

now, I did read through everything, just one thing bumping in my head: if you can afford games specially Stardew Valley GO GET IT NAAAAAO! then why in gaben's name would you snipe, nip, hijack, rob, steal, sneak past some poor lazy sap keys? I mean, sure I like free stuff, but I too have a decent backlog and it isn't gonna be playing itself, so more times that I admit I've just left them for others aka didn't bother to check if were "alive" XD
I got SW (StardewValley, not star wars you dummy!) cause simply it looked like the kind of game I love and offers lots of replayability, randomness, mods, etc, plus there's one little thing I don't think you mentioned -pardon me if you did and it somehow eluded me- Amazon sold both JC3 and DirtRally for 2 euros each, recently and that offer stood like 2-3 days if not more, so lots of ppl bought it and that's all the more reason you didn't get an offer that you'd like tho you should had have at least a comment saying something about.. err something! ppl is getting rudder by the minute, huh?. Anyways, I too sorta beat around the bushes while typing and often sidetrack my kinda-ramblings, bear with me or just don't, your choice :P
I'm concerned that my comment be "of reasons" enough for you to bl me, it's your rights so do as you please :P
So, where in all this wall-of-text of yours (no, not mine) you mentioned something about gay people? why is there a vote option? you could just placed JC3, CSGO or Stardew Valley, then potato ofc, but hey, it's your th and it was like 3AM so the mind gets foggy, foggy nelson, from Nelson & Murdock
ps. passed your SG test with flying colors but didn't entered, I don't have nor ever played a lego did stepped barefoot onto one, tho but since some say that's a game you can play with your kids or little cousins, and I don't have any of those, then yet again I guess I'll leave it to somebody else..
Be well, and playthis! :D

Thanks for taking the time to write such a lengthy reply.
Well first of all, just because I can afford games, it doesn't mean I necessarily have to spend money on games. Just because I want a game doesn't mean I'm going to. heck I'm just a normal university student with zero income and have money saved up.
Who are you to judge me for taking those keys. If it wasn't me it would probably have been some other guy/girl who simply wanted free stuff for whatever reason. They were blatantly there. so I tried and they worked. Countless other people do it all the time. It seems to me you just want to start a discussion about human morality. Hey so I got lucky and got 3 keys and if that classifies me as a villain, then so be it. I can't help it if the OP posts a drop thread without any challenges to getting the keys. the OP even commented 'nice' to my thanks for him. takes skill and luck to get 3 keys.
You want to brag about leaving keys for others to check? That's like me saying Oh, I didn't enter a million giveaways because i wanted everyone else to have a better chance.
I did mention the "Amazon pricing error", it's in my 2nd paragraph and yes I realised that was the main cause of not getting a trade i wanted. traders just feel a need to get the best price possible and assume you got it for the lowest price possible.
Not too sure what you meant by
"tho you should had have at least a comment saying something about.. err something! ppl is getting rudder by the minute, huh?."
but I'm guessing you meant I should've insulted them for not giving me a good deal? There's really no need to stoop that low. If they expect they can get someone to agree to their terms then let them be and good luck to them. (but i wanna bl them away from my giveaways :D)
nah not gonna bl you. At the moment around 85% of my bl is just previous winners who didnt thank.
With regards to my poll, i dunno but i just reminisced to primary/elementary school times where saying those phrases quickly was great for laughs, especially when the person who responds doesn't realise at first. and besides everyone likes random polls LOL.
ps: 2:30am replies lol

ok, so that started nice and then just escalated quickly!
Let's address it quicker/shorter this time, shall we?
I've recently lost my main income job and I've almost done using savings, so I do know about the having but not necessarily buying thing; plain simple words if you can get something for free and nobody gets hurt then take it! thought I made it clear none of this was an attack, nor a call to flame war morality and the likes, so please get that idea out of your mind.
Im not judging! nor you nor anybody here, this is a gaming community, a giving and a taking one too, nobody is above nobody -except the law- and for those whom break the rules or behave nastily. You are not among those and I have nothing bad to say about you.
What made you think I was judging? Heck, it was just a stupid question, an honest one, you said it yourself (no quoting) I want A and B but couldn't get it, ok then might as well buy them myself. So in it's fairness, yes, anyone could take them, if it wasn't you, then it'd been the next guy/girl/furry/robot/etc, it was more like "if you can buy them, why take them?" but I notice that the next guy/girl could be easily in the same spot -can buy but why spend if it's free?- so yeah, you're right.
No braggin', I have nothing to brag if you'd know me you'd know I'm not the type. Nothing I can do about it, you have no way of knowing.
Lastly, about the line "tho you should had have at least a comment saying something about.. err something! ppl is getting rudder by the minute, huh?." I meant the others could have said something like "hey! you're asking too much, don't you know it was 2 euros?" if that was after that sale, that is, since I could just easily missed the dates the same way I missed you mentioning the amazon thing. My bad.
This is the 2nd time (that I remember) getting a.. rougher reply because of a lengthy comment; in the 1st one I said I wouldn't comment no more since plenty of ppl just don't get it, my bad again, must I have forgot about it and then I guess I let myself carried away typing.
Oh well, if most users want me to be a yes, no, potato user, an almost mute, generic bot I'll guess I'll be that. Frankly I'm tired of arguing and causing confusion. Shame, really, it's a different kind of censorship: self.
ps. my school years weren't like yours, region differences I guess, we had other kind of jokes.
ps2 didn't get any of my jokes either, you're killing me.

well for starters, it's the internet and typing just doesn't always cut it when you're trying to make a point. I apologise for overreacting in my reply. To clarify, I am not all to well-educated when it comes to jokes involving GabeN etc(tell me that was the joke). As with all things on the internet, everything is open to interpretation and i guess i interpreted it wrong. You used word's like "hijack, rob steal" which to my interpretation portrayed me as a criminal and i felt the need to defend my actions.
Well if to say including a mention of Gaben made most of the first paragraph just a joke, then your next sentence was also poorly interpreted. You said in the format of "I mean sure <insert positive remark> , but < insert negative remark to counter the positive>". Words like that could start a war lol e.g. Hypothetically,I could be insulting someone for liking iPhones. i.e. I mean sure iPhones sync well with other Apple products but with Android you can download files straight from a browser without itunes etc.
some people just wanna fk up the delicate balance of supply and demand haha. i mean the game just came out 4months ago and already it's available for a third of it's retail price. well enuf about trading :)
this is the 2nd time (that I remember) getting a.. rougher reply because of a lengthy comment
Well, haha now i will be remembered.
You're just throwing yourself off the boat, if you don't want to post comments any more. Hey i posted these rants with a ready expectation of people calling me out for being greedy for trying to take advantage of a game I fortunately got for free. If you want to speak your mind, then go right ahead but don't post with a belief that no-one's going to reply. As i mentioned about different interpretations, you just gotta be succinct and clarify possible misconceptions. IRL i can't say im well versed in confrontations but on the internet, it's not like someone's going to track you down because they didn't agree with you. dear god i hope not :P The internet has all kinds of people and the worst you could get for posting comments on SG i reckon is a 2day suspension. (assuming inappropriate behaviour).

Fair enough, you might be onto something, thanks for the tips I'll keep that in mind.
Yeah it's a delicate balance we don't wanna break it don't we? XD
Yup, GabeN was just one of the jokes, there isn't really a textbook or a line with those or if there is I just type as I go, my own poorly written jokes, oh my, my..
There have been felonies? real-life-crimes involving people whom met on internet so I wouldn't be so quick to take it out the table, point taken we have to be more careful!
How-- oh, I get it! I could enter in paranoid mode and try to cover (clarify) every single thing someone somewhere might consider misconceptions..yessir! this is a joke, I'm just testing sarcasm and boundaries, do not engage soldier
Alright PlayDis, it's all good I ALMOST make a joke-spoiler here but those whom get it might get angry and those who don't will miss it for sure! siding off tracks a bit, so, OT, I too in the past tried to accommodate leftovers for trading so I could get the best of both worlds, but no dice, ended up giving away the games and not-so-recent trading rules made me abandon trading, even if it was personal like just for me, for actually playing the games I wanted :P
Goodluck then :)

Have both, but thanks.
Read all that rant, entertaining to see other people discovering the same things :D
Apparently currently everybody uses barter.vg for trade. Dunno I only use it for bundle swapping.
Have a nice week/holidays :)

so.....I'm just here to rant about random things. Just skip to the bottom for Giveaways
How I came to acquire Just Cause 3
One day I went to pick up some products to better cool my PC. Namely thermal compound and 2 case fans. It just so happened that the i7 Intel promotion ended that day so the guy who handed my order, gave me one of those vouchers for free and thus i acquired JC3. That's about when I came back to steamgifts and gave away the CS:GO that came with it.
much w0w keep goin
I spent countless weeks contemplating what to do since i discovered due to an Amazon price glitch it became bundled. Ok not really countless ,I just kind of left it alone. Since I'm not too into singleplayer FPS campaign games, i decided not to redeem it myself (plus i feel like i have too many games hoarded up at the moment that I've been meaning to play). Anyway since it's a bundled game, I would only get $9 real CV, so I decided to try and trade it.
what a baboon, why would you try to trade
So i made a trade thread, initially trying to sell for $30 or trade for games i wanted. After about 10 or so bumps and 0 comments, I bothered promoting my trade thread through about 11 giveaways (i even mentioned there was a giveaway link(lego batman3 ended only 13 entries) in the trade thread but to no avail, acquired no replies. Looking around I also tried browsing other people's trades who wanted JC3. At this point I was offering it for $23 or 11 tf2 keys and everywhere i commented i got declined. i ventured on to new avenues to offer my JC3 key i.e. reddit
reddit trading ribbit
Now I rarely use reddit but seeing as it seems pretty popular, i made some posts. I came across SteamGameSwap and tried my luck there. Turns out my supposedly cheap $23 just couldnt beat the redditors with an existing monopoly and offering low prices. I saw some guy's post gradually decrease his price over a few days to $23 and thought I had a glimpse of hope. Turning right around there corner I come across someone selling it for $20. -flips table-
etc rant about reddit
recently someone posted some free steam keys on a reddit post and i just so happened to see it. this guy didnt bother doing any fancy editing to prevent simple copy and pastes. I managed to snipe 3 out of 10 keys and so i left a thanks to the guy and regrettably mentioned i took 3. now that post has acquired -18points. well at least my comment karma only got deducted by 1 (i only have 6 now, see i rarely use reddit). anyways as with all key drop posts, there are bound to be people who just speculate bots took them all. Honestly i feel like this is like believing in aliens, they probably exist but you can't confirm it. all i did was copy and paste, alt tabbed to steam and redeem key. I had people calling me greedy etc and then people blaming bots. I'm just thinking to myself, you guys come in hours late and get mad, and ultimately wouldn't you prefer someone real got the keys(and i was the only one who bothered thanking the OP). well not gonna bother with reddit anymore. PS: i got 1 foil from the 3 games lol
How to describe the trade community
A place filled with lowballers and people looking to offer bundled/free games for triple a titles. You leave an offer on someone's trade and expect a reply when they're online? Dont be daft. You wait a day or two and see they were online within that time frame and still expect a reply? Go delete your comment man. Think your prices are fair? There's always someone cheaper.
wow you seem mad, take a chill pill
Ok. i go buy 2 copies of Lego Marvel Super Heroes, 1 for me to hoard(and hopefully find some time to play) and 1 for you. ok i give up on trying to sell/trade Just Cause 3(i just wanted StarDew Valley and The Culling, is that too much to ask. Fine, i'll go buy them)
Square Enix Easter Surprise Box
I like it. I haven't tried Final Fantasy before and look forward to play it. Though already you can see people trying to trade up the games for something like The Division and you can see people offering cheap games like there's no tomorrow. Wish my trade thread had replies like that.
hard to search in trade
I dunno but I'd really appreciate if the trade threads could also be sorted by thread start date and if there features when making a thread that explicitly allowed you to state what you have and what you want (checkboxes perhaps) e.g. TF2 key, bundled games, Paypal etc because honestly when you try to search for stuff, e.g. you want something, trades with people wanting the same thing appear as they may clarifying what haves they want to trade for it. It'd also be nice if you could exclude results with specific words. absolute cancer when searching for The Culling and every result seems to only be for The Culling of the Cows. Moooo. #terrible@explaining
If you're blacklisted either you've won one of my giveaways before and didn't leave a thanks, denied my trade offer or i just plainly don't like you for reasons.
Sorry if you read through the whole thing. I'm bored and procrastinating. I'm probably all over the place since I typed up half of this at 3am, then slept and only got about 3.5hrs of sleep cause i had uni,came back and finished it off #proofreadingfornoobs
Onwards to level 5, yay I'll have access to better giveaways.
Lvl 3+
Fml it's a bundled game but i got it for free anyway
Legoooooo
