🏳️‍🌈Wishlist Giveaway: Flag Waving Edition

I don't like to make a fuss. When I do make a fuss I constantly worry about whether I'm right to be making a fuss: is it having any positive effect, am I justified in doing it, could it be interpreted as drawing unwarranted attention to myself?

So I don't lightly change my avatar to rainbow colors, because big corporations do about as much every year, and we all know how much they really care about LGBTQ rights (about as much as they can without having to spend a dime). Slacktivism is everywhere, and I don't have friends IRL, let alone queer ones, that I can support overtly. But, the way I see it, if even a single person sees my avatar and is reminded of pride month (regardless of what they think about it) it's still doing marginally more good than if I'd done nothing at all. And, unlike the big corporations, I'm not doing as a PR move, and pure intentions have to count for something, right?

But you didn't come here for that. You came here for a giveaway, and it's a good one. The winner of this giveaway will receive Island Cities, but also one random game from their wishlist! The rules:

  • The game must have been on your wishlist before 2024-06-01 00:00 UTC. I can see the date, so no quickly adding new stuff!
  • You must have at least three eligible games on your wishlist. No quickly removing everything so you're sure to win one game!
  • Only standalone games are eligible. Not apps, not hardware, not bundles/packs of multiple games, not DLC (game + DLC is OK, though, this doesn't count as a bundle).
  • A game is ineligible if:
    • It's free to play;
    • It's not available for purchase on Steam;
    • It's available only as a preorder.
  • You can have as many ineligible games on your wishlist as you like, I'll just skip them.
  • The game is picked by a true random draw, results are non-negotiable.

TL; DR: you can't go wrong entering this, because I think of everything. OK, well, not that, but that's just unreasonably weird. Why did you think of that?

I'VE GOT THISSSSS

Well, you're weird too for also thinking of that.

Reminds me of "the game".

That's no issue; Augmented Steam has an "export wishlist" function that can handle even large wishlists effectively (and 1K isn't the largest I've seen). Prior to Augmented Steam I had my own code for exporting the wishlist.

Unrelated:
I want to rerank my 2.5k steam wishlist (e.g. the games I want more towards the top and the games I want but want less towards the bottom). The thing is that I want to rank specific games higher or lower, but on the Steam UI, I cannot rerank any game unless I manually find the game on the rank view of the wishlist which does not really work with a massive wishlist. If I try to use the search bar or filter the list in any way, I can easily find the games I want to rerank, but then Steam removes the option to modify the rank of the searched games. Does Augmented Steam help solve this issue, or do you have a script to help fix this? I would even take something that just tells me the rank placement of a specific game or appid I give the script on my wishlist.

I used this script a long time ago, probably no longer works with Steams wishlist changes since.

Just outputting the games with rank should be no trouble and requires no coding expertise: if you have Augmented Steam, you can first sort your wishlist "by rank" and then export it. The export will preserve the order, so then all you have to do is open it up in your favorite text editor and have it show line numbers to get your games by rank (or open it up in a spreadsheet and add row numbers). Doing this for your wishlist gave me 2714 items with Persona 5 Royal at the top and For Honor - Y8S2 Battle Bundle at the bottom. If that sounds right to you, this works.

Reranking should also be automatable. When you drag and drop a request is fired off to store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/[STEAMID]/reorder/, with the full list of appids in order in the request body -- at least, this is how it works for my piddly 76 item wishlist. So downloading your into something like Excel (making sure to include the appid), reordering them however you wish, and then firing off a JSON request from within the browser to reorder things should do the trick. This does require a bit of coding know-how -- I find it easy enough to do inside Firefox using its "edit and resend" function for network requests, but that's probably not for everyone.

I won't go so far as to develop a standalone script, but if you need help feel free to hit me up on Steam. Once you have a reordered list I can probably walk you through the steps.

Edit: I forgot to add that Augmented Steam adds an edit box in the list where you can directly input the rank as a number (and it retains this even when you filter the list), making it very easy to reorder an individual game. If you only need to reorder a handful of games, this is by far the easiest option. Ordering an entire list this way would be slower, of course.
