Thank you to everyone who got involved in this event. It's been great.

Feel free to friend me regardless.

Also @Kain_Highwind you still have Not Tonight? Thought somebody claimed it, just a minute before I posted last night.

If you're open to shooting me a second key, I wouldn't mind it. If not, no worries bud.

Not sure if region specific, but the new monthly build-a-bundle is up on Fanatical.

https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/platinum-collection-build-your-own-bundle

Some decent stuff, given The Surge 2 is on my list I may be naughty and spend more this month than I should. Dark Devotion and Watch Dogs 2 to fill out the bundle and get them all for 8.70. Just Cause XXL seems like a good deal but I'm pretty sure it routinely goes on sale dirt cheap individually.

Figured I'd share as I'm not sure how many actually use Fanatical.

Also, since we are nearing the end of the sale, here is a question for everyone - who here has started to make their personal purchases, and for those that have, what have you treated yourself to?

@AuthenticZac

I went into the sale with a budget of around 25 or so, son's birthday in less than a week so didn't wanna go crazy. I went over that budget and spent all of it gifting people games instead haha.

I decided to pick up Risk of Rain again as it was only 2 or so, that's it for me.

The budget was not a crazy amount of money, but I'm glad I could use it to gift games to people instead of spending it on myself. Hope I was able to put a smile on a few faces at least.

Seriously tho, yall are crazy generous and it's amazing to see.. This winter sale I'm going to make it a priority to send out some gifts.

I'll be around for the next big sale, gonna set a budget aside specifically to ensure I can continue to gift people things come next sale. For anyone I've missed, or not been able to gift anything this time around, they will absolutely get something from me in the future, topic or no topic. I have a large list of newly added people to my FL now, so expect some surprises in the future :)

You'd gift a certain amount via digital card and it would adjust it accordingly in terms of value.

So if based in the US and you gift a card to someone in the UK for $15, it'll work out to about 11 or so I believe?

Not sure entirely.

Edit! - NVM :)

I thought Crypt of the Necrodancer was pretty dope with how it intertwined rhythm with gameplay, and I dig how BPM seems to do something similar.

Now that I've completed Spelunky 2 (kind of. There is still one specific task still eludes me), and Hades, I'm moving on to my next rogue-like - Risk of Rain 2. Started it a few days ago, and managed to unlock a couple of characters, but definitely getting my ass kicked in it so far. So easy to get overwhelmed from every direction. Hoping to unlock some more stuff soon.

I also might buy Doom 2016 to play this weekend, to serve as a bit of a palette cleanser from all these roguelikes.

Risk of Rain 2, just as it's predecessor is an amazing game.

Once you get a good run going, you feel truly unstoppable, oh and once again that OST is fucking phenomenal.

Skul : The Hero Slayer definitely peaks my interest the most currently, but at only 25% off, I'd still consider on the pricier side as far as gifting goes thus, wouldn't ask for it nor expect it. I like surprises anyway, so anything will of course be appreciated.

Side note - Happy Friday / weekend everyone, what are your plans for this evening? I'm thinking some Disco Elysium for a bit, then I may subject myself to torture via Darkest Dungeon haha. Had some fun with Hollow Knight earlier, then I got to Greenpath and died carrying 700 Geo on me before mapping the area like a doofus so, may also go back on that tonight and progress again.

yeah, calling someone out for not gifting is in really poor taste and completely against the spirit of this tradition. not everyone is in a situation where they can afford to gift. i know i'm not, and personally that's one reason why i've only been angling for spare humble bundle keys and not posting my wishlist, but if someone wants to put theirs out there and see if they get anything, that's fine. if you don't agree with that then just don't gift those people anything. don't put them on blast and make a big deal out of it. that's just really sleazy.

Seeing as you said you're after spare HB keys, I've got a few left over from the last two months. I'll shoot a list below, lemme know if they interest you.

Paw Paw Paw / Effie / Retimed / Morkredd / Vane / Milky Way Prince.

Levelhead / Relicta could also be available depending on if a friend redeemed them or not, don't think he added them to his steam library but no way of knowing if he claimed them on his HB. Either way, lemme know if you want a key out of those.
