I’ve got a few steam keys I’d like to give away this holiday season so just leave a comment which one you’d like, leave a little story if you want, and I’ll randomly pick tomorrow.

Here’s the list for this little patient game community:

  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider
  • Hitman 2
  • Borderlands 3
  • Aliens: Fireteam Elite
  • Deep Rock Galactic
  • Barotrauma
  • Night Monkey@sh.itjust.works

    In the quiet suburb of Greenwood, Michael fondly recalls the glow of his family’s PC monitor, a gateway to the virtual mayhem of “Borderlands 3” during his childhood. The click of the mouse and the hum of the computer became the soundtrack to his formative years.

    Late nights were spent immersed in the chaotic world of Pandora, navigating the pixelated terrain with a familiarity that mirrored the quiet streets outside his window. The virtual escapades were a stark departure from the routines of suburban life, offering an exhilarating taste of the unexpected.

    As Michael’s fingers danced across the keyboard, he formed digital alliances with quirky characters, each encounter leaving an indelible mark on his gaming memories. The camaraderie within the game echoed the friendships forged in the real world, a testament to the power of shared adventures.

    The family computer, a vessel to Pandora, became a sanctuary where the pressures of adolescence faded away. In the glow of the monitor, Michael discovered the joy of exploration, the thrill of virtual battles, and the sheer delight of leveling up in a world governed by pixels and imagination.

    The victories in “Borderlands 3” were more than just in-game achievements; they were personal triumphs for a young Michael. The memories of late-night gaming sessions lingered, interwoven with the fabric of his childhood.

    Now, as an adult reflecting on those formative years, Michael smiles at the nostalgia that “Borderlands 3” brings. The game was more than entertainment; it was a bridge to a simpler time, a reminder that even in the pixelated landscapes of Pandora, he discovered the magic of growing up in the suburbs.

    I ditched my PS4 for a steam deck, so I have little to no games right now, but I have been eyeing discounts, so far so good. I can still play on the couch or on the go.

    I’ve heard a lot of good things about Deep Rock Galactic and haven’t found my way there yet despite thinking of it often. Perhaps this will be that time. Either way, appreciate you doing this.

    Deep rock galactic looks like a fun game. I have several friends who play it but haven’t had the opportunity to pick it up yet.

    Shadow of the tomb raider sounds cool. Haven’t played tomb raider since the pixelated block figures. Not sure which one it was.

    Merry Christmas!

    I’ll toss a hat in this ring for Borderlands 3.

    I’ve heard good things.

    I would like to put my hat in the ring for Aliens: Fireteam Elite. It was recently free on Playstation Plus but I missed it by a single day. My wife has taken over the Playstation so I’ve been gaming on my laptop, and I forgot to keep up with the monthly games. I’d love to play it though!

    I’ve never played a Borderlands game, but they seem pretty wild. I feel like it’s an experience I’ve missed out on and would love to change that. Thanks!

    I’d recommend Deep Rock Galactic to anyone, it’s a really great game and a lot of fun, especially with friends. For me I’d love to try Barotrauma, the concept really appeals to me but in the classic patient gamer style it’s never quite become cheap enough for me to outright purchase.

    Thank you, kind and patient gamer.

    I do not have any Tomb Raider games and would like Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
