Money is a construct. It serves as a means to address certain issues in our society and nothing more.

Property is guaranteed and inalienable (in most places), yet all we can ever be are temporary custodians of the microverse around us. Don't fool yourself into thinking you actually own anything. You own life is very much like a rental agreement.

Most people are narrow-sighted. Don't live your life thinking that if you go out of your way for someone you will get the same treatment in return. It doesn't work that way. Expect nothing, appreciate what you are given. Try to be nice, even to assholes - they are the ones missing out on most of what life has to offer.

And, most importantly, giveaways are things people set out to do when they run into an unexpected flow of constructs. No, it's not cryptomining or speculation on that market, because that is wasteful and should not be encouraged. Bad Elon! We waste tons and tons of mostly non-renewable energy on solving centralization issues, or to satisfy our own greed for social constructs of our own design. Madness wrapped in more madness.

Society will have rules, much like this giveaway. You need not follow them when you disagree. Do your own thing, care not about what others think. Unless you want to drink blood from the skulls of your enemies - then you probably need to stop and rethink things a bit.

The rules of this giveaway, however, you must certainly follow if you want the prize.

The prize, in life, much like in this giveaway, is something you'll have to set for yourself. Don't listen to others. There are no recipes for success, only misconceptions. Pick your own prize, in life and in this giveaway. Concerning the latter, it can be any single item on GOG, including ultra-master-ultimate-megapack-bundle-editions, the sky is the limit when it comes to construct amounts.

Oh, back to the rules.

Firstly, you must be an ancient GOG user that joined in pre-pandemic times. Then, well, say you want to participate (duh!). Post below. If you're old, give some unsolicited advice with it or share your views on the grand scheme of things, much like crazy OP here. And a winrar you will be, potentially! Just give me a week or so to liquidate my pretty-colored physical plastic constructs, turn them into digital constructs that I can then summon at will using the electronic writ I keep in my wallet, and pick a winner via random.org, based on his/her post number.

Good luck! It helps, in life and in giveaways. Still, you can make do with or without it.

And remember, always carry a towel and don't over-complicate things! (we have a saying in these parts: "Do what the minister tells you to do, not what the minister does.")

P.S.: One later addition to the rules: the winner must publicly declare his prize of choice, so that others can bask in his vanity :P. I kid about the last part. As I said, constructs are unlimited in the scope of a single item and there's no need to hold back. Pick to your heart's content. I know what I'm getting myself into (potentially) since I run a price tracking script, no worries.

Edit: Due to the sheer number of campers now sitting by the no-lemonade fire, I shall have a talk with the fates about the number of rewards. Still, I will announce nothing until next week, as promised.

I wish to participate, so I will post below.

I try to believe what I feel these days, it makes life much easier for me. It's hard to decide what is real these days, but things look so busy to me. I already know my children's children's faces, like voices that I've heard before... remember, there's always more.

EDIT: Since we are meant to mention our game of choice, I am picking Dead Cells: The Fatal Seed Bundle

Something we all do at some point in our lives, and mostly for good reason. But we must seek truth above all else, no matter how painful, for the rest can only be folly.

Your number shall float on the sea of numbers until the fates decide.
I want to participate in this lemonade-free tea party.
being not too ancient to be wise enough I'd say, never trust cats telling you they're dogs. just in case. you know. things happen.
doggies are fine, though.

Dogs are the best. I'm not sure if humans deserve one, but, as a famous movies title says, I hope "all dogs go to heaven".

P.S.: The conversion of constructs has already happened and they await the winner's choice in the confines of my GOGBear wallet. Yet the fates will wait another week, for those who seek their fortunes to act.
I'd like to be in for this giveaway. I think I'm old enough to join.

*looks at join date*

2010! Oh dear... I am old. Since I'm now considered an old fart, here's some advice for you new youngin Goglodytes.

1. If you see money on the ground, help find its owner. Unless it's less than $10 then keep it. I once tried returning a penny to a guy who dropped it at a K-Mart checkout and he looked at me like I was strange. He told me to keep it and I was super ecstatic about it. I was 8 at the time so I thought I was rich but didn't realize I had made a fool out of myself for trying to return such a minuscule amount to someone.

2. Always look both ways before crossing the street especially in old age retirement communities. Those quiet golf carts coupled with old age blindness is a recipe for street pizza.

3. Money is good but cash is better and diamonds are forever.

4. Games are great. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. Like the politicians who think games are responsible for violence or old folks from generations ago who think they rot your brain out. Clearly none of them game or they wouldn't be speaking such nonsense.

5. And lastly when you buy games, buy 'em on PC and preferably DRM-Free from Gog.com.

Thanks for the giveaway WinterSnowfall. Best of luck to all my fellow Goglodytes. :D

BenKii: diamonds are forever.

Behold the wisdom of the office printer and be forever awed!

Since you will be able to understand the lyrics, I feel that I must reply with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6wUcGGoe8Q
I'd also like to join in for the giveaway.

Just one advice, which is basic but I find it useful: avoid arrogance. An opportunity to help is worth far more than an opportunity to sound clever.

Edit: I'd like to apply for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition.

Since I seem to have taken on answering to each participant, all I can say is welcome - I sit by the fire of your wisdom and drink to its truth.
I'd like to partecipate in this giveaway. Is 2013 ancient enough?

Some random pearls of questionable wisdom:
- "Play your games before you'll get too old and slow!"
- "Contruct doesn't make you happy, but it makes happiness easier to reach" :P

More than enough to please the fates.

phaolo: - "Contruct doesn't make you happy, but it makes happiness easier to reach" :P
*Insert "Lies, deception" meme :P*. Truth be told, it shouldn't make you unhappy either.
