Hey, I would love to approve your playtime for the game and send you the giveaway links but I need you to put your playtime data to public first the the website can pick it up and log it (after that it can go back to private). Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you don't know how to change that you can find the instructions in the second paragraph here.

thats what I was thinking. Would require to keep signing in and out but that way it doesnt interfere with each other

The family sharing idea did cross my mind, it is just as I said it started with MP/coop game so honestly the help with those was very appreciated... but since he starting to pick interest in SP games I might consider family sharing.
Well that takes care of my first dilemma here, now I would like to discuss the other one in private with you or Mouse if you have the time.

yep, I guess in some cases 1 year is too harsh after all.. But I won't check what games those winners played this year, don't want to find out it was Dota 2 XD

there is at least a small chance

true, true. If my glass wasn't half empty today, I would think 1 from 20 is actually veeeeery good :) And it was 100%! Haha

Also, there is a hypocrite side in my sadness: I myself buy games on steam and don't play them for a long time hoping that I will play someday. And somewhere sad developers are sitting..

ohh, I'm not alone who did this :) yep, and I should concentrate on positive, like how many games were beaten last month on "play a game you won on Steamgifts" :D

haha, nice, even with achievement :D

Well games with no achievements are beaten when you reach the end credits and games that are endless are beaten when you feel like you have seen/done all that you want from it ;)

because I did puzzles in the available time

yeah, that's why I stopped solving jigidis and complicated puzzles :)

Actually, I can find arguments for both sides:
— Definition of 'good' game is just different for you & winner.
— But it's still sad that decent game became +1.
— But what if a person was genuinely pleased when he won that game? Minute of happiness matters too.
— And they even didn't say thanks?
— They just shy.
and so on xD

So don't you worry, if you play your wins in general, you definitely not a culprit :) If I were very stubborn, I might want to check all their wins and find out that they at least play something. Or maybe even a lot, just not mine lol, like you or samwise or many ppl at this event — but I better just imagine it xD

Thank you very much Kelly!

Thank you! :)

Then we call it "Leap year is a hurtin' thing" 😂

We've actually had that happen before almost. No 2 themes sadly just 1 picked randomly but with how its been all month I have 0 idea what it will end up being by the end of this month

Anyway, both will fit for Fairy Fencer F ( Both "Cute", and won a DLC's. ) . ;)
( Yeah... I still have some hopes to play this game as my main "quality" enter, next month. )

yep we both got our stuff sorted

As approximately half of my wins fit the leap year theme I just have to look for some of them also fitting the love hurt theme and I'm safe 😁

I was wondering if people are trying to be funny. Because it constantly changes from 1 in the lead to a tie to the other in the lead. Maybe they want to see Mouse sweat when there is a tie at the end 🤔

Yeah, that would probably work much better than adding all possible pairs of subcategories to the drop-down list :)
(18*9 = 162 pairs)

same. most of my wins fit both themes anyway!
not the downloading though. im not that crazy

with how its been i wouldnt be surprised if they get tied at least once again before the month ends

I didn't want to sound impatient. I thought that it was done automatically by the system.

Thank you! :3

Haha, well it's not completely decided yet as the fight for the first place is still fierce. XD

Edit: And you did great as always! ;)

Sorry I didn't want to ask that actually because I already did that before. I wanted to know if I can submit the game as beaten even if it's not totally beaten. But I guess the answer is no because there is no option as "half-beaten" :)

I prefer a theme that is... a theme around something. Like having certain tags kind of define games and paint a picture in your mind, and I like that (Like how In Love and War could mean strategy, wargames, visual novels, romance games, etc).
At the same time I like some extra, fun meta things - won on X day, messing with the game ID - but if these add the main aspect then it's a bit like getting socks for your birthday as a kid. It works, it's useful, but just not the real thing.
I'm more hyped about playing a game about oceans, love and war, wall climbing, being atmospheric, going fast or other topic than about that I can play any wins that for example has an odd store ID. It still works to have many acceptable games, but has only substance without the style. I like style :)

I vote based on really what I think sounds the best compared to what I think games will fit. Which is why my vote has never won so I think I'm just cursing them at that point. As soon as I voted for leap year that started losing...

Well I usually see what themes I like for the theme. And then I check if I have at least 1 game that would fit that theme, then I vote.

As I don't have difficulties to find fitting games for every of the themes, I vote for the one I like most. This can be and was
at some months not my own one ;) I'm really happy that we have a lot of nice themes every month =)

Yep :) and thanks to seNs' last minute suggestion we have five great themes for the next vote too. Let's see which will make it there :)

I think the 14 was intended because of the theme, so I think it will stay at 14 ;)
