First off, thank you as always to Nettle for running the show and the wheel of trash! I'm 100% sure that wheel grows every year, despite the number of spins on it and it terrifies me.

I'll note that tonight Xander77 reached out to me and sent me Planescape Torment: Enhanced Edition with his apologies as an extra to bump up his initial ride.

I'll toss my two cents into the pot that Xander's gift didn't seem like a minimum/under-ride to me - the steam prices added up to well over the minimum so I didn't think anything of it. Plus one game was something he had recommended on his profile and which seemed like it would mesh well with other things on my list, so it seemed like a slightly more personal touch. That said, it's clear that there have been/still are issues with his gifting habits that I lacked any context on and I'll defer to the folks who've had more experience with him. I'll admit that some of the price hawking had me a little nervous because I know I would feel bad if I sent someone games that were on someone's wishlist that others might consider "bundle trash" but that added up to $20+ on steam. However the answer in that case should be "oh poo poo, my bad, here's something extra to top it off" and you maybe do a quick search on IsThereAnyDeal when it's an older game, rather than getting defensive.

I still remember the first year I rode the gift train that someone was really generous on one of my rides - that memory keeps me coming back and trying to spread the cheer. I especially appreciate the efforts sklurb et al. are putting in to make sure newer folks in particular get a good first impression. Given the success from this year, raising the minimum seems like it would be reasonable, though I do worry it might turn off newcomers as well if it gets much higher. The gift train is legit one of my favorite parts of the year and I'm always happy to see more and more new names in the thread, so thanks to everyone who rode this year and helped make it a fun time again!
