Cake day! [short train inside]

According to the little cake beside my name, it's been 4 years since I've registered on this site.

Like many others, I was lured by the promise of free games. If I remember correctly, I was looking for a way to add games on Steam for free after looking at a Youtube video promising exactly that. (Needless to say, it was a scam designed only to bring more viewers to the video.)

Over time, my focus changed from winning free stuff to enjoying the community. This is pretty much the only online community in which I'm active and I visit these forums multiple times a day. Sure, there's a bit of drama every now and them but overall it's a friendly community (almost like a second family) and I do enjoy the time spent reading and answering posts. I consider some of you as my friends and many I see as good acquaintances.

Eventually, I started enjoying making giveaways more than waiting for free games to fall in my lap. The joy of giving is immensely more satisfying than the frustration of losing the majority of the giveaways I was joining. Over time, karma did it's thing and I've been blessed with many wins. Actually, I've won so much lately that I've started entering almost exclusively for games on my wishlist. At least until I can manage to play most, if not all, of my wins to some extent.

Now, no cake day thread would be complete without some form of giveaway, so I present you with this short train. (Level 2+) Unfortunately, this time of the year is financially straining for me so I was only able to include some of the cheaper stuff in there. I hope some of you still find some of these enjoyable.
