Hey folks, I have 53 games, ~~1~~ 2 DLCs, and 1 Displate discount code to give away from the 2023 Yogscast Jingle Jam. Just message me and I'll give you the codes for the games you want (just try not to be greedy and ask for all of them). First come, first served! I will mark the games that have already been claimed as I run through them. All codes must be used by Dec. 31st (they will no longer be active after that date).

Thanks and happy holidays!

It's a good watch.

I didn't know about the Zelda theme that plays at the beginning of Ocarina of Time till now, for example.

Also, video is 25:44 in case you want to invest; I used the picture-in-picture option to switch tabs while watching it.

Your thoughts?

I really liked the section of the video titled "CPU" 'cause it actually explained everything well and used sketch-noting or whatever you call it (I'm referring to the graphs here).

Interesting stuff.

Yeah, I have high hopes for the next Zelda game, but I'm done with the current time-period.

they're like G2A with a sale on at the moment, they have steam keys for the new stalker game. i'd like to buy that game as its 30 uk pounds on yuplay but they dont give the keys till launch day..

would this be a big gamble, are they known to be shady or maybe even a scam where theyll be off the internet by feb?

The game is here. . Tremendous fun and despite it's lack of depth, I've had fun trying to beat my records but ultimately, it gets tired fast given there's only one "level" so to speak albeit a randomly generated one.

I really like the mechanics of this one and managing them against fuel load. It's similar to a game called Space Rescue by Ostrich Studio which I also liked but both these games seem to be kind of little prototypes so there's very little to them.

Check it out.

Anyone see anything that interests them here?

Hideo always has his 10 minutes on Game Awards, why? Why other game devs don't get that much recognition or screen time?

As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money.

So I banned my kid from it. He used it a little bit socially with a few friends of his. What online or local multiplayer games should I help him to replace it with? (He's 10, so please don't recommend Diablo 4 or anything else that has quite that much gore)

He and his friends have an Xbox Series X|S at home.

Edit: keep your judgemental shit out of here. His whole social group (5 kids he knows from school) got banned on the same day. Me and the other parents are trying to be nice and replace it with better quality games so it isn't just a punishment.

Edit2: Thanks guys. I got him Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge

What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?

So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren't co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.
