I noticed that since I discovered this place, I hardly play anymore and I got so many games I would like to play:)
So I was thinking how do you see this?
Do you still have time to play? Do you think you hang around this place too much?

Does Steamgift takes up too much of your time :)

Yes
Nope

Yes, SG consumes a fair bit of my time. I either lurk around the forum or browse GAs while my lovely games are in my library, patiently waiting for my return.

It happens everytime you find something fun.

Overtime, it fades, though. So enjoy while you still can.

As for me, I find it's fairly normal. I only visit a few minutes here and there alongside browsing the web as a whole. I still play my library and have beaten 17 games this year.

I'm not kidding I do spend too much time here, mostly on the forums reading/posting or doing puzzles (often for games I can't or won't enter :D)

I'm nearly always doing at least one or two other things when I'm here,
so I don't feel like the time here is wasted or that it's too much.

I definitely spend way too much time on here. I'm still in bed. I just woke up about 10 minutes ago, rolled over and grabbed my phone so I could check SG before I get up.

It's rare if I spend more than 30-45 minutes away if I am awake. Even when I am playing a game or watching a movie, I find myself pausing every so often to come check SG.

I always check for new giveaways because some people like to make them last only and hour and you get good odds in those. I lurk the discussion boards to see what people are talking about, check the deals section for new bundles, and look everywhere for hidden giveaways and puzzles even though the puzzles take up even more time, especially the jigsaw puzzles I have been doing lately that sometimes take 30-60 minutes or longer each.

Not only does it cut into my game playing time, it also takes up so much time that I don't feel like creating new giveaways. I have a bunch of games to giveaway and I planned on making a train over a week ago after my last batch ended, but I just spend so much time on here doing other things that I can't find the time to do it.

Edit: Here's another post I made about 6 months ago talking about this: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/q1U1kep

Edit 2: The battery in my phone is getting low. I guess I will get out of bed now so I can charge my phone and turn my computer on to continue the addiction.

Edit 3: Do you ever forget to eat because you are here? I woke up yesterday and was hungry so I was going to make breakfast, but I decided to turn my computer on and check SG before I ate. About 4 hours later I look at the clock and realized I never ate anything. Knowing this, I decide I have to get off and go eat something, but I just want to check something before I go, 2 hours later I look at the clock again... lol.

Oh wow!! The beautiful pics of Sam's Point Preserve you linked remind me of ARK: Survival ;)

I really want to play that game. Maybe if they have a good discount in the Steam summer sale I will pick it up. I kind of want to wait for it to come out of early access before I play it though because I have so many other games to play and I want to play it when it's complete. With a backlog of over 500 games I have to manage time wisely and I know if I play it now, I will want to play it again when it is complete.

Edit: The last game I played that was open world in the woods was Miasmata and I really enjoyed the exploration. It's nowhere as nice or in depth as ARK, but considering it was made by 2 people, I enjoyed it for what it was. It's definitely not a game for everyone though. There's not a whole lot to do, you just explore and map the island collecting different plants trying to create a cure for the plague.

Definitely SteamGift is like a drug, since I discovered it, the first thing I do after taking my computer, is open SG and stay like an hour checking games, discussions, giveaways...

Yes. But I don't mind. Steamgifts has consumed me entirely in the past couple of years. Nothing matters anymore. I have become Steamgifts, destroyer of free time.

Seriously though, Steamgifts has helped me cope with so much stuff, without any of you realizing it. I don't like mentioning when my life turns to shit, and yet Steamgifts is always there to cheer me up regardless of if I'm happy or sad.

It isn't consuming that much of my time. I usually hang out here if I don't have any game to play or can't play right now or can't go out right now.

steamgifts is pretty addictive. you've got the thrill of winning but without the risks of a casino, you've got the ability to get a nice feeling from giving away those games you don't want yourself and the community is friendlier than in many places on the net. but if you find that you're spending more time on steamgitts than actually playing any of the games you win, then you may need to make a drastic decision

you could take some time off from the site and spend some time making amends with your backlog of games. or, the more realistic option, you could invest in a second monitor so you can game at the same time!

hahaha honestly I do that already :)
Play on the computer and use the IPad to look at SG
(but when I need to say anything or want to add a GA I have to switch to the pc again (cause of the limitation of the IPad and the autocorrection to Dutch)
