Each time you run it, the site chooses a different language path. Thus, I took batches of games and ran them through, and each time might get one or two "good" ones for the ten or so titles I put in. I'd then keep re-running batches until I had something good for each game. I tried to prioritize ones that were interesting and not too obvious.
My personal favorites were:
25 Characteristics of Some Crustaceans = Another Crab's Treasure
(self-explanatory)28 Classic Runes = Rune Classic
(lol)33 Damn Cake = Hell Pie
(right on the money)50 GRAPPIN = GRAPES
(something about it keeping the all caps energy got me)73 MEMPEST: PIRATE RPG = Tempest: Pirate Action RPG
(more all-caps energy, and also MEMPEST is just naturally funny)83 Passive Movement = Inertial Drift
(profound)84 People Are Equal = Human Fall Flat
(also profound)97 Stop the World = Earthlock
(right on the money again!)98 Sue Knight: Bag Jail = Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon
(Pocket Dungeon = BAG JAIL)112 = The Most Popular Game of the Year = Rising Storm Game of the Year Edition
(I can see how "rising" and "storm" could both translate into popularity)120 Tomato = Hexarchy
(no idea how this one happened but I love it)128 With Violence = BZZZT

I have decided to reveal all the remaining titles so people can choose what they want.
Any requests within the next 4 hours will be gifted today.
Instead of closing the giveaway, I will leave it open for giveaways while I'm away for the holidays, so no rush.
That said, if you request something more than four hours from now, I will not be able to fulfill it until December 30th (so you will have to wait a bit to get your keys). -

ASK AWAY. Many of these keys expire at the end of this calendar year (a little over a week from now) so if they don't go to a good home they just get wasted.
If you get stuff you're not interested in, feel free to give them to someone else or donate them to SteamDB.

- Sunshine + Moonlight
These have fundamentally changed how I game. I can stream games from my gaming PC to my lightweight, low-end laptop and play them wherever I like without the laptop heating up like it's going to catch on fire.
The performance is genuinely incredible -- leagues ahead of Steam Remote Play which is what I was using before. I love, love, LOVE these programs.
- Treadmill Gaming
I used to put an aerobic step in front of my TV and step on and off of it repeatedly so that I could exercise while gaming.
This year, my husband and I got a treadmill. We mounted a TV in front of it, and with the aforementioned Moonlight, I can stream games while walking on the treadmill.
Playing anything that requires "involved" input can throw off my steps and be a bit of a hazard, so I play "low input" games instead. I got 20+ hours out of Spin Hero, and I'm currently chugging through Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Both of these are perfect treadmill games and make the time pass quickly. I'll put in an hour and a half without even realizing it.
- VR Exercise
When I'm not gaming on a treadmill, I'm often using VR to exercise. I'm someone who would, otherwise, be quite inactive, so anything that gets me moving that I enjoy is wonderful.
My VR setup was out of commission for a while because the room was being used for storage as we had a number of protracted house projects stretch out across months. I finally got the room cleared and my headset back on and remembered just how much fun Beat Saber and Synth Riders can be (and how much of a sweat you can work up in them!).
As I get older, the temptation to constantly couch-sit is getting stronger, so mixing gaming with movement is becoming more important to me.
- The Backlog Burners
I love these. They're fun for me to participate in, but my favorite part is getting to read what everyone has to say about what they're playing. It's like one big parallel Let's Play.
- Colossal Game Adventure
We launched it this year, and I couldn't be happier with how it's going! Having rotating hosts was such a great idea. Every single one has CRUSHED it.
I think CGA has a bright future ahead of it, and I'm already excited for when we pick the next round of games.

Also, I'm not kidding when I say that I grew up on Short Circuit. My parents taped a copy of it off the TV and we probably watched it until the tape flat out died. It was genuinely my favorite movie for a while.
Yet another data point for our ongoing clone theory...

SLIGHTER CHANGE OF PLANS TO THE ALREADY SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLANS:
I didn't like the idea of people having to wait until December 30th for their keys. I copied the remaining ones into my phone so that I can still give them away while I'm away.
So, to recap:
The giveaway is in FREE-FOR-ALL MODE and anyone can request any keys they like.
It will remain open UNTIL DECEMBER 30TH.
If you're worried about asking for too many games, don't be!
I legitimately love giving these away. It makes me happy every time someone requests one, six, seven, or ten.
Many of these expire soon, so if they don't go they'll just vanish.
Of the ones still on offer, I can personally recommend:
