Well, today marks my 3rd cakeday here on Steamgifts. So in annual tradition I made a cakeday train.
This time around I based it around my experiences with the games I won here.
I've won some amazing games, some games I wasn't sure of that I liked them then fell in love once I got to try them and got the rest of the series. But I also, especially early on, fell pray to the +1 or just winning for trading cards since "no one else would play this crap anyway (and I can confirm a lot of these are terrible) so if everyone only idles them why not me?"
I've never idled games without trying though, that's why I got so many games with cards left to collect since I definitely want to give them a try when I gather those (and if terrible do let them running afk). And a sadly higher than I would have liked unplayed wins from this site.
Very shortly after joining the site my gf got pregnant and boy, did I underestimate how that would impact my gaming time (while not adjusting entries here). We also used to play many HOGs together so I won several here to play in co-op but that also drastically reduced, leaving many of those unplayed still aswell. I have in the past year adjusted my view on entering though to be more suited to match the time available, generally only browsing my wishlist. 2018 didn't make it easier to release 2 guarantian games my way I was mostly interested in, backing them. Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Pillars of Eternity 2 took a lot of gametime this past year.

Well, with that intro out of the way, get your ticket for the train here. Along the way I penned down several thoughts of games I won here and played. Hopefully these are of interest to atleast some entrants since they sure took a long time to write all:

Yeah, a baby will definitely cut into your gaming time. And, sadly, that's not going to get any better for a long time. Just have to make the most of what little free time you end up with. :)

Thanks for sharing the stories, and happy cake day!

Old me: "Oh, thanks school"

Haha! Though I always liked school - school was where all my friends were, and where I got to hang out with my friends. It was being at home that was boring.

The cake of the force is a pathway to many creations, some considered to be unnatural.

I totally thought that you were giving away a game called Cake Harder 3! Hahaha~ Thought that I'd missed something somehow.

I enjoyed seeing your gaming thoughts, and even found a few to enter! Thank you so much, and happy cake day!

Sadly, no. But if there ever was a game named that my interest would be piqued.
Glad you enjoyed the train and found your findings interesting too. Anna's Quest is already installed, not played though and ENSLAVED also shot up higher on my "must play soonish" list.
