Rural American here. We drive 30 mins to the nearest bigish city to do all of our grocery shopping every weekend.

A lot of us have Humble Choice, which is a subscription service that gives you six games for Steam a month. When some of the games end up being ones we already have, we come here to give away the extra copies to people here on Lemmy! I myself have over 600 keys for games over the years that I am either already had or never intend on playing, so I've got tons to give away.

There's also times where I buy actual Humble Bundles too that have duplicate keys as well. Just way too many keys and I don't feel like going through the hassle of reselling them so instead I am paying it forward to people who want them!

Is there any reason you recommend two specifically over three? I know there is a third Orcs Must Die game but I have no idea if the community considers it "good" or not.

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Good recommendation! I've played a decent bit of Zomboid, but never with any mods. I definitely should check some out!

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I own DOS 2 from back when it came out, does DOS 1 still hold up? Would it be better if we just played 2 either way?

 

Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur's Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We've played a lot, and some games we've finished or tried recently included:

  • Borderlands 1, 2, and 3
  • Minecraft, Terraria, Vintage Story
  • Raft, 7 Days to Die
  • A Way Out, It Takes Two

I'm posting here today to ask if any of you have some suggestions for co-op games we could check out! I've Googled for suggestions to no end and 90% of what's there is games we've already played. If anyone has any recommendations for us they would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

~ Hyrulian

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!! I'm going to compile a list and check them all out one by one!

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Damn it's sad that this post even exists. I hope things get better for you chief.

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Congrats! You've won! Check your DMs and please respond to this comment once you redeem the key!

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Drawing for the winner tomorrow at 10am CST! In case you don't win, Disco Elysium is in the Steam Summer Sale for $4 starting today!

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Damn that's awful. Hope things start looking up for you soon chief.

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm very excited for Build 42 as well! The art pass they did on the buildings has me really excited (and basements of course).

Hey folks, it's been a while! I'm here today with a giveaway for a key to one of my favorite games ever made, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut. I am so excited to share this amazing game with whoever wins this giveaway! Be warned however, there are a few things you might want to consider before entering:

  • This game features some very intense content that some people might find disturbing or at the very least depressing. It also has some humor and imagery that some may find offensive.

  • There is some serious controversy surrounding the creation of this game and things that happened afterwards that lead to multiple followup projects being canceled and a very messy split with the original concept's creator and the company behind the game. Read more about this here if this is something that may concern you and sway if you want to play the game.

With that stuff out of the way, what is Disco Elysium? According to the Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/632470/Disco_Elysium__The_Final_Cut/

A groundbreaking role playing game. You’re a detective with a unique skill system at your disposal and a whole city to carve your path across. Interrogate unforgettable characters, crack murders or take bribes. Become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being.

Honestly in my opinion though, this doesn't even begin to describe the chaotic intrigue that this game is. I highly recommend this one if you played Baldur's Gate 3 and want to play something similar, albeit a lot different in themes and gameplay. This is also quite a bit shorter.

Anyway, so how do you enter? All you have to do is:

  • Comment telling me what games you've been playing recently or what other
  • Wait till Friday, June 28th at 10am CST to see if you won! A random comment selector tool will decide if you win. If you do I'll comment on your reply to this post telling you to check your DMs where you will find the key to the game!
  • (Optional) Share this post with a friend or fellow lemming to let them get a change to try and win this gem.

Thanks for reading the post and thanks for entering the giveaway! Good luck folks! If you have any spare Steam keys lying around you want to get rid of, this is a great place to do so. DM me if you have any questions!

~ Hyrulian

Unfortunately the first two people I tried to send the key to did not respond to my message. I'll be trying some other folks in the coming days! Thanks!

Hey there Naruto fans!! Want a game about Naruto!? Here's the game I'm peddling today:

Naruto to Baruto: Shinobi Striker

I gotta be honest, I've never seen an episode of Naruto in my life. I assume someone out there on Lemmy has, (Seems pretty likely) so I'm here today to giveaway this game. Seems to be some kind of action fighting PVP game. It could be pretty neat!!

To enter, please do the following:

  • In three words, please summarize Naruto for me. I want to know what it's all about.
  • Make sure you're subscribed to our Community, so you don't miss future giveaways.
  • (Optional) Tell any friends you might have that like Naruto that I'm giving this game away. If you don't have any friends, I'm sorry I asked.

The first person to successfully comment on this post will get the game since no one has entered past the deadline.

Hey there folks! Time for another giveaway!! This week I'm giving out a copy of:

Into the Radius VR

If you haven't played it before, Into the Radius is a virtual reality survival game HEAVILY inspired by the STALKER series. The general idea is, you enter the nuclear reaction zone and you have to complete quests and collect resources while surviving the horrific anomalies that live in the area. I personally find this game to be really spooky and stressful, so keep that in mind when entering. That being said, I love the style and the mechanics! There's even a whole system where you have to physically clean and maintain your weapons or they could jam in the moments you need them the most!

Here's the steps you have to follow to enter this giveaway:

  • You MUST have a VR Headset compatible with Steam VR. I couldn't find a reliable resource online listing all compatible models so I highly recommend you verify that your headset works before entering.
  • Reply to this post, sharing what your current favorite VR game is.
  • Wait until Friday, July 14th at around 10am CST. I'm extending this giveaway out for the whole week to allow as many VR gamers to get the chance to enter as possible. Update: Extending the giveaway out for now. I'll try again next Friday instead! Share with your friends that have VR!!

Thanks for entering the giveaway! Remember to follow the steps to enter the giveaway so you don't end up with a key for a game you can't even enjoy. Shout out to everyone who has participated in the giveaways on this community so far!

Edit: Two weeks passed and nobody entered so I'm closing the giveaway. I'll try again later!!

 

I've noticed Lemmy.world is having significant struggle with posting and loading content in the last few days. This is likely due to the influx of users after "that one other platform" did the bad thing. wink wink

For the time being, I'd encourage anyone running giveaways to extend their open for entries window by a little bit to allow more folks to enter. I had a hard enough time as is trying to reply to the winners of a few of my giveaways, so I'd imagine we will have people who want to enter and participate that may run into the same issue. Thanks for considering!!

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone for participating in the community thus far, especially those who have hosted giveaways. Keep Lemmy wholesome folks!! Feel free to reply to this post, (If you can...) if you have any questions about the rules of our community or any suggestions on how to make it better. Thanks!

-- Mod Team
