Want me to post about just free games or about giveaway contests too?

Monument Valley & Monument Valley II are free on Epic Games Mobile, here are some instant checkout links:
If you get an error message, it means that you already have it. You can check here. It was given away sometime in September.

Checking my purchases, Monument Valley was previously given away Sept 4, 2025, and Monument Valley II the next week on Sept 11, 2025. Those giveaways included the PC version as well as Android and iOS, which isn't the case this time, although the PC versions are 65% off.
 
just make a habit of visiting this thread each day (at least until the last giveaway), as the notification system is unreliable
I set a calendar reminder that repeats for the 16 days the Epic daily giveaway is going on.

Also, I get email notifications for every "new" post, but Blythe posts so often in a row that their posts sometimes get auto-merged to their previous posts, and since there's no "new" post, I don't get that notification, and sometimes miss an update.

I try to avoid that with my own posts by making sure someone else has posted after my last post before posting something new, so my posts aren't in a row and can't get auto-merged. Sometimes I'll hold back info on a freebie for a few hours until someone else has posted. Sometimes they post the freebie I was going to post, and that's fine, as long as people see it an (optionally) get notified.

I don't like that either. Sometimes, when a pretty good game is being given away, I PM eyeliner to reply just for additional visibility.

I'd love to do that but sometimes giveaways last for a very short time, mostly for the itch.io stuff. As far as I know, only Editors and up can reply without their posts getting auto-merged. It would be nice if there was a role or something that could be assigned to a user (per thread?) so that the system ignores the auto-merge. I've made a feature request here a while ago but I never got a feedback on it.

If interested, we could make a group chat via direct messages and I could reply there whenever I edit my post or someone else edits their post. It's no problem for me to keep you guys posted. I believe others can be added afterwards as well if someone new wants to join in on that. Let me know by reacting with Love emoji to this post and we can do the test run. Hopefully, auto-merge doesn't happen there as well. :D Also, let me know if you have another idea.

@Blythe93 is so prolific, I thought he was a bot at first , I can only admire his dedication

Edit: I would have posted codes for fallout 1 & 2 but apparently I claimed the games 2 years ago and they won't give me new codes for prime this week :(

Still here's the link if you have prime

So one of my very, very first experiences in gaming at home was this gem via b/w 486 laptop that ran it like laggy shit (so dying and waiting for a new life to roll around was pure agony), but lo and behold the pub's own site has a browser version that runs really well!

Arguably a very nice Arkanoid clone for its age.
