Thanks for the giveaway! I'd love octopath traveller.

Something interesting this year... My workplace agreed to adopt an automatic inflation adjustment and transparent pay scale, and my wife is going back to university to get out of the restaurant business.

Good year so far, hopefully shit doesn't hit the fan following the US elections.

As much as I love Final Fantasy (I have all the originals on Steam, even the PC ports of 7 & 8), Harry Potter would be for my kid. She loves that universe

I mean, it's gotta be Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle (Pixel Remasters, because I've only played through VI and IV once every 5 years and I should get those numbers up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'd be interested in the FF7 remake.

Nothing interesting to say really, just been a long week and glad to be able to finally relax.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's been five days since you commented!

ARE YOU STILL RELAXING???!!

Final Fantasy I-VI bundle

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I dont need these games. Just curious as to why you are doing this. The giveaways which happened last year was to drive up engagement on lemmy but I don't think that is an issue now. If this is just philanthropy, I think it is very kind of you.

Interested in Final Fantasy I-VI bundle

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Gosh dude me too. I played one of them way back in the day when I was a kid, and I don't remember it at all. I think it was FF3 on SNES.

A part of me wants to keep that game key LOL, but alas, with my huge backlog of games, it would be better to give to someone else to make their day!

Best of luck to you if you win!

Im gonna go with Nier: Automata

I've recently gotten into sim racing (assetto corsa and dirt rally) and got a whole setup with a wheel, pedals, and shifter. Unfortunately the setup makes it difficult to get at my mouse and keyboard to play "normal" games, but I'm in the process of figuring it out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Right now I don’t have time to play, but I wanted to tank you for your Giveaways! You’re like Santa but better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Definitely would love the FF I-VI pixel remaster bundle.

My daughter has been growing so much this year, she is truly a joy to behold. I can't wait to start sharing some of my favorite games with her as she grows up. She has a giant stuffed pikachu that is her favorite toy to crawl to. Her mom.and I take her on walks and play Pokémon Go every day while we stroll her around. Every day we talk about how excited we are for the day she can play alongside us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I appreciate your story, that's lovely to read. My spouse and I are in talks for kids, and that's what I want too. We're both gamers so it'd be super awesome if our kid(s) would have that same hobby, too. Now I'm tearing up thinking about it LOL.

Thank you very much for that experience, it genuinely made me really happy to read that. That's a very nice thing to do for your daughter.

Thanks for doing this! FFVII was my first RPG ever. I remember playing it day in and out. We would have family over for holidays, it didn't matter. I was glued to the TV. Aerith's death made me cry as a young boy. I was devastated. They killed a main character, a love interest. It blew my mind.

Been obsessed with FFVII and the final fantasy series ever since. Nobody Uematsu is an amazing musician. So much depth added.

The story is great, character development is fun.. I just haven't gotten around to picking this up and playing it because life gets in the way and my home constantly needs repairs.. would be nice to pick up and relive things in 2024.

Anyways, I'm hoping to be picked for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

Here's a meme!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

man that experience you laid out was basically mine, but I was slightly older so I didn't cry at the time. My brother and I were playing ( I think we swapped controllers at certain points so we can play it together), but we were so shocked when that thing happened. I love that game so much but of course only played the OG on PS1.

Thanks for the meme! I'm sort of a LOTR meme connoisseur!

But realistically when I think about it, if Elrond got close to him and tried to push him, naturally Isildur would try to fight him... you know, so he doesn't die. Would the Ring call to Elrond? Elves are super susceptible to that spicy ringo. I think Elrond was right to let the king walk away, especially because if he did kill him, mankind would be like "Yo WTF Elves, let's fight!"

I started watching the Nier Automata anime last night and it got me intrigued about the game. I was planning to get the Yorha edition once it gets on sale again.

Thank you for these kind of posts, more power to you and the gatos!

First of all, excellent username. Second, I would love a chance to win the Tomb Raider I - III remaster just for the nostalgia. Third, the cool new thing I've done this year is take part in WeeklyBeats, a year-long challenge to create and post a new music track every week of 2024. So far so good! Fourth, I don't have a decent meme to share but here (if I can get photos to work) is a photo of my void.A black cat working it hard for some belly rubs

FF7 Remake if I win, please. :)

Not creative enough for the optional pieces right now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's no problem, Boo, you can work your creativity out in FFVII Remake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

I've never actually played any Final Fantasy game yet. It'd be cool if Final Fantasy I-VI is still available for entry!

Hogwarts Legacy would be cool since I got a beefier PC this year. I honestly don't have any newer games to try out what it's made of.
