Do you have a public Steam Wishlist? I'm not asking because I want to take a peek, no sir, or that I might feel inclined to gift you something if I happen to have a key for it, absolutely not, sir. It's an academic question.
Regarding Steam keys/ gift links on HB:
The addition of gift links is quite recent. The bundles usually have this option, purchases on the HB store depend on the publisher.
Before the addition of gift links, titles came with plain Steam keys - clicking on the links as shown in Endre's screenshot from the HB Mobile 5 bundle, reveals the keys for each game.
Back then it was more of a "no go" to gift the keys, but I did gift the keys for games that came as Steam only or those that I had twice, sometimes even three times - that's easy to happen with the constant repeats.
Now, I retroactively apply the "gifting allowed" rule by HB even to older bundles.
Hope this helps a bit.
No biggie though.
I have a guest at home so I'll be back in a bit to talk more. Thanks! :-)
Talk with you later on. =)

Two things I'm noticing about Lords of Xulima (aside from the continued perk of it having a proper windowed mode so I can switch between it and the thread in half a second with no bullshit attached) -
1. This is not a game to play if you're tired.
Holding down a button so you can see every single item you can pick up or interact with on the screen? This game doesn't have one.
You have to slow down enough to pay active attention, not to mention holding down the right mouse button (which performs the magnifying glass function, telling you extra info about things you might otherwise miss) pretty much all the time for areas you haven't already scoured.
2. This game starts you out humble.
Your main character can harvest different plants in order to make potions that increase abilities once you have enough of them.
In the first village, you can also use the harvesting to acquire grain that you can then either sell to the farmer for cash (which you definitely need) or save them as a slowly regenerating food source (which you also need since food in this game is not cheap to buy).
He may not be able to hit worth a damn, but the herald of a god can sure as hell cut wheat with a sickle. Think I've earned more doing that than I have killing monsters so far.

It's good to have a game that actually keeps me awake and involved, rather than making me want to rip my hair out in clumps until someone sedates me.

OK, sorry, I'm back. I have one particular friend that I've known forever who just walks in my house grabs a coffee and a comfy chair and makes himself at home.
The only person I know who's allowed to do that, most people seem to have one of those. :-)
I was not offended, pissed of, miffed or otherwise upset. Just distracted. ;)
Anyway clicking on one of my Steam key links redeemed the game and put it in my Steam library 'automagically'.
Never saw a key number. Oh well, the stuff I have is just bundle crap any way.

I certainly wouldn't mind having you as a friend on Steam. However, gifting stuff is absolutely NOT required.
Same goes for you, sir.
No biggie though.
I have a guest at home so I'll be back in a bit to talk more. Thanks! :-)
But that's all very uninteresting - tell us more about that guest of yours. ;-)
Sorry to be a downer, but I could certainly have been better.
Major reason is that we're biting our nails here, after waiting for over a month, we hope that we finally hear tomorrow if a much needed but bloody expensive treatment for a very good friend of mine with brain tumour will be approved.

Hell, in some circles, undoubtedly populated by very strange people, it's considered a good thing. =)
Yeah, the stuff I've got isn't really anything to write home about, aside from what I mentioned, and that only gets mentioned because A - it's really not good, and B - its regular price is insanely high, considering its lack of value.

As for running it no problems with P.C,I don't think it uses too many resources.
I have noticed some games switching back to desktop is a real chore,but unlike Wasteland 2 that I have been playing and switching back and forth with no problem.
Therefore my conclusion is some games you switch easily and some you can't.

Infinitely more importantly though, I hope that your friend will be able to get what they need and that everything works out well in the end.
I'm sorry you and yours are having to deal with that.
