It's my 5th Cakeday on the 12th and my 22nd birthday on the 28th, that leaves us with seventeen days to celebrate. And what better way to celebrate, in the middle of May, than... a Chrismas song?

How does this work? Every day I'll add one more game than the day before. So one GA on day 1, two more GAs on day 2, three more on day 3... for a total of 153. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTHY THREE. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
But where's the catch, you ask? Simple. They're all games I either liked or would like to play. So you'll have to abide by my horrible, terrible taste.
Dont worry now, there's a double catch. Day 17 is made of games entirely picked out by my Whitelist, so you can count on them to have better taste than me. And to thank them, they get an official Day 18.

Huge thanks to support for providing me with 100 extra slots, making this all possible!
Some of the games will be delivered as keys, some as gifts, so keep an eye out.

All GAs are level 3+ to 5+, depending on how I feel that day. They all last 36 hours so you have more than enough time, and are locked behind minor bot protections. They double as human protections because I put some horrible jokes in there.
I'll also be posting every GA a bit ahead of its beginning, I change shifts at work every two days so I can't guarantee I'm gonna be up at midnight to put them online at the exact right moment.

And now, without further ado, let's all sing together to the notes of one of the worst Christmas song ever:

Ahem

On the seventeenth day of Conti, my Space Cat sent to me...

seventeen WL picks
sixteen spectacular fights
fifteen childhood classics
fourteen jumping jackasses
thirteen RPG ruckusses
twelve open world excursions
eleven action flicks
ten coop shenanigans
nine car crashing criminals
eight good disappointments
seven brainless zombies
six creative copycats
five cozy farms
four automated bases
three caped crusaders
two anime tie-ins
and the one game you always thank for.

WL-EXCLUSIVE DAY 18

Why am I doing all this? Eh. On one hand it's to give back to the community for all I've got in these years- but I can't deny it's a massive ego thing for me. So by all means, comment, celebrate and state just how awesome I am.

CLOSING THOUGHTS:
I'd like to thank once more everyone for partecipating and ESPECIALLY the kind comments. My birthday is usually a pretty sad day for me, one of the few which make me regret being such a loner. But this year, instead of sulking alone, I woke up to over 280 messages of awesome awesome people like you wishing me a happy birthday. I won't lie, I was very, very moved. Just for that, I'd say the event was a huge success!
Maybe it had a couple flaw, from 4 keys which had to be replaced due to region locks to the quality taking a dip in the later days, from me honestly losing steam around day 10 to getting sick which made staying up late making GAs a pain... but the one thing I wouldn't have changed is you guys. You're the best community I could ever be part with.
Except those 2 people who couldn't be bothered to thank me after winning. Yes, I'm still salty about that :P
All in all, that's that. The last GAs will run a bit more, but we're pretty much closing shop here. I don't know if I'll do it again next year or I'll do something different, we'll see. And one last thing: I may have been the one who put the money, time and effort in, but it was you guys that made this event really, truly special. So... thank you! :)

Day Seventeen — The Final Gift
Seventeen days, a blazing run,
Of joy and games and selfless fun.
Conti, the legend, wraps it tight,
With birthday candles burning bright.

From pixel dreams to grand campaigns,
You've poured out gifts like summer rains.
Not for clout or fleeting fame,
But just the love of every game.

You lit up threads with every key,
Like stars across a midnight sea.
No RNG, no strings to bind —
Just pure delight, from a generous mind.

And now we cheer, with hearts full-beam,
For you have lived the gamer's dream.
This final day, we tip our hat,
To Conti — kind, bold, and all of that.
Happy birthday, and thanks from us all!

🎂 🎂 🎂Happy birthday Conti! 🎂 🎂 🎂

On your Closing Thoughts

I can definitely relate—my birthday tends to feel like just another day, and I rarely do anything special. You took a very noble approach by using it as an opportunity to make others Happy.
Happy 22nd Birthday!

I want to thank you. I recently returned to the community, and you've shown me just how awesome it still is—and how awesome it can be. Reading through your commentary on every giveaway which took a lot of time, as well as all the comments from entrants was genuinely enjoyable, Special mention to @Finical who knows a ton about each!

Thanks for sharing your taste in games, I was able to add quite a few I didn't know about to my Wishlist. Here is just a small token as thanks to not just you but everyone who participated (and reads the comments).

Is it the 28th there yet? Happy birthday 🥳 🎁
Btw, wow you’re still so young. I’m old enough to be your parent 😅
4 hours left for those last giveaways… was on the fence about one of them but decided not to enter after all in the slim chance actually win it.

Thank you for this great event!
The giveaways were huge throughout. My participation rate was very high and at a level rarely equalled given the quality of the games on offer.
Even though I didn't win anything, I enjoyed reading your comments under each giveaway, even more so on the games I knew but even the others.
You did a great job on this event, thank you again and I wish you a happy birthday!
