I have a spreadsheet full of #Steam #game keys (all legit!) and I'm giving away.

I'm *not* doing this to get new followers. You DON'T need to follow me to get a key. This is about generosity when the world could really use some.

The only thing I ask is you follow the Wheaton rule: "Don't be a dick".

19/12/24: In what turned out to be a poorly timed decision, I bought a bundle of games and added them to the list today. Happy holidays.

To avoid keyfarmers and resellers, I have some guidelines, though.

1. No new accounts. Sorry. You've got to have been here on Mastodon & obviously human; ie. no keyfarmers (If I don't know you, I'm checking profiles).

2. One game per person; please pick your top three preferred games, in case your first preference is already gone. First in, first served, I go through PMs in the order that they're received - see below.

3. *Private Mention* me with the game number *AND* name, in order of preference. (Web: Profile > Three Dots > Privately Mention...), your app may vary.

I cannot reiterate this enough. You *must* -->PM<-- your request (consider this the "Brown M&Ms" clause).

4. "When can I ask for another key?" Minimum of 2 months between requests.

Colour coded legend on the spreadsheet. My thanks to the following generous folks who've donated extra keys:

@McCovican
@tojosan
@hypolite
@desiree
@artbol
@elfi
@beric
@Krikket
@WearsHats
@triadne
@dona
@mondanzo@uwuwatch.club
@apicici
@n3wjack

Game listed multiple times = multiple keys.

FAQ:
Q: "Can I donate keys?"
A: No (see above).

If you don't mind boosting this post; this is my small way of trying to make the world & Mastodon a nicer place to be.

"NEW YORK -- Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was shot and killed by a masked man near a Midtown Manhattan hotel early Wednesday, according to police sources."

"The shooting appears to be targeted but police do not know why, sources said."

I have a hypothesis: Maybe it has something to do with the egregiously exploitative nature of modern healthcare corporations.

I am a full-time indie comic artist, so 100% of the stuff I sell is packed/sent by me

If you put in 💫 FediFriends 💫 at checkout you'll get a quid off, but more importantly - I can see who's a fedi person and pop you a little freebie in your parcel

Happy Vaporeon Day to all who celebrate

My favorite part of being an artist is if I need a new asset for stream, I can just sit down and make it myself. I don't have to go hunting down exactly what I want, I can just make my own dreams a reality!

You've heard of Elf on a Shelf, in Canada we have...

Hello, I designed a wandering shopkeeper character for a friend's project I'm a part of.

He may appear to be lost in thought, but I think he is simply thinking of something he has been yearning to eat for a while.

google’s latest fuckery: if you write online, read this

The Google app for iOS now adds THEIR links to YOUR posts from YOUR website unless you opt-out.

Their links lead people away from your site and back to Google. Because that’s definitely what you want, right? That’s why you have a blog or portal or web site or whatever. You want people to leave your site and go back to Google.

Oh, it’s not?

If you don’t like it, you can “Opt out.” Opting out is a pain in the ass. Here’s where you go to do it. You have to enter every variation of each of your domains or it won’t work. It will take up to 30 days, during which time Google will continue to pollute your work and your writing and your website with their modifications and their added links to take people away from your site and back to themselves.

For example, here’s the list of what I need to opt-out just for this one blog:

solarbird.nethttp://solarbird.nethttps://solarbird.netwww.solarbird.nethttp://www.solarbird.nethttps://www.solarbird.netweb.solarbird.nethttp://web.solarbird.nethttps://web.solarbird.net

Yes, you explicitly have to file no prefix, http:, and https: variants separately. They say so.

Making it difficult like this is 100% intentional and entirely designed to make it as annoying as possible, and also, to make sure you slip up if at all possible and forget one or more combinations.

(Tho’ I am just going to depreciate web. as a prefix right now, to bring down the load a little. Still gonna list ’em, though, because spite is why.)

Right now it’s only in the Google app for iOS and it’s probably a test to see whether they can get away with it without complaint, and how much revenue it generates. Let’s make that a combination of no and as close to zero as possible. Because otherwise they’ll roll it out everywhere, and probably derank you if you don’t go along.

Fucking hell, Google. Fuck you. Just… fuck you.
