I want to be a hairy wizard! One entry for Hogwarts please!

Meme folder is a little dry right now so here's a picture of my new puppy Ásgeirr. Thanks for doing a giveaway OP, just another of the good bits of reddit I'm happy to see here at our new home.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrate would spark my interest.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Hello :D

I would like to enter for the NieR automata copy.

Heres a meme I ~~stole~~ permanently borrowed from somewhere:

As for something I recently did: I played through Fallout: New Vegas for the first time, which was a great experience. While the gameplay is decent, the factions and their story within the game are really well thought out and implemented imo. So I highly recommend it for those who have been on the fence about it.

I wish everyone else the best of luck and thanks OP for generously hosting this!

I would like to take my chances to win the FF I-VI collection. Should keep me entertained for a couple of hundreds of hours 😅

I think I'm most interested in crisis core. I love ff7 and remember crisis core on the PSP. Good times. Good luck to everyone and thanks OP!

I would like to have ff I to VI as this is a cultural gap I have to never have played the final fantasy games :(

I would love if possible to get the code for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

It's verified to work with my Steam Deck.

Entry for Hogwarts legacy! Thanks so much for the giveaway, very kind of you

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Entering Hogwarts Legacy,

I took my little goofballs off cousins to an amusement park, never been so scared in my life as I see the youngest instantly take off like Usain Bolt. So glad they got phones at least because I wasn't sure how I would explain to my uncle that I lost his child 5 seconds after entering.

Entering for Nier:Automata. Thanks for doing this

Entry for Octopath Traveller, please!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Hogwarts Legacy has been on my list, but was waiting for everything to be fixed first.

My wife and I just had our second child, so not a lot of free time, but hoping to get some more gaming in once he starts going longer between feedings. Our 3 year old is a great big sister and everything is going about as well as you could hope.

Thanks for the giveaway and good luck everyone!

Put me down for octopath! I've always been intrigued by it's art style and would love to give it a whirl.

Hogwart Legacy has been on my list for a while now, but not high enough to buy while I have such a large backlog.

Hmm... I've got a few memes, but I'll also talk about one of my hobbies: butterfly knife flipping.

A few years ago I stumbled across a video of someone doing some sick trick with a balisong. I found the balisong subreddit and did some research, bought a cheapo trainer off Amazon, and practiced and watch YouTube videos until my fingers were bruised.

Eventually for to be pretty decent (enough to impress people IRL with a few tricks, not internet good) and got a few nice knives and trainers (a few Squid Industries, a Kershaw Lucha w/ Flytanium handles, and some random others). I already semi-collect pocketknives, so this is a step past that.

Downside is, balisongs tree expensive, and I tend to cycle my hobbies and not come back to them for a while. Right now I'm not in a flipping kick, but maybe someday soon I'll get back to it...

Also, meme!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Entering for Crisis Core, thanks for doing this.

I've been watching Y: The Last Man and started out really digging it, but now that I'm nearing the end (Ep8) it's starting to drag a little. Some interesting things being set up though so hoping it sticks the landing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

How is Octopath Traveler? From what I gather it's a bunch of diverging stories, eight to be precise and they don't actually interact with each other?

I've not bought it yet due to the anxiety that triggers...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I love that you're doing this! Super cool. I would like to throw my hat in for FFVII Remake. I started it on PS5 when it released, but I've since gotten rid of my console and am now an exclusive PC gamer. It's got a platinum rating on ProtonDB, so I am ready.

As for anecdotes, well, I've introduced my 65+ year old parents to anime! We've been meeting once a week for the past month or so to watch Attack on Titan. It's been great watching the show for a second time (so much foreshadowing!) and seeing my parents really get into it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Whoa! Now that’s something I definitely did not expect, are oldies getting into an anime like Attatck on Titan! That’s pretty cool! I haven’t finished the series yet but wow did the first three seasons I watch blow me away back then.

Pretty neat thing to get a cool little bonding experience with them that way!

Heh. Now that I think about it my mom has heard of Dragon Ball Z since my siblings and I used to watch it when I was younger. I think she calls him Gopu though instead of Goku lol. It’s been like 20 years or so, I can’t remember how she said it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

OP, kudos for doing this. Put me down for the FF Pixel Remaster Bundle.

I'm about to take my Steam deck on an international flight, so those would be perfect to pass the time!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Nice, I haven’t flown international in several years, but I brought along my 3DS back then. Steam Deck would be killer for that journey. Best of luck to you, that’d be awesome to play through the trip!

Thanks for the giveaway!

I've been playing two games a lot lately; Pacific Drive and The Planet Crafter. Both have been a blast so far. I love games that feel isolating.

I would choose Octopsth Traveler.

Hey! Thank you very much for doing this, personally id nier automauta ~~or hogwarts legacy.~~

Hi! Thanks for doing this. Here is a picture of my goofy dog, because I love him dearly and he is a sick boi.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’ve never played any of the final fantasy series. I hear so many wonderful things about them. Even heard of a couple who bonded over it. So any of the Final Fantasy. If I should try one before another… let me know. :)

And thank you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for entering! It’s tough to decide where to start with Final Fantasy. Thankfully you don’t have to play them in order, and they’re not connected. I’m first experience was 3 on SNES, and then FF VII on Ps1 back in the day.

It might make sense to start with one of the more popular ones. I’d love to tell you 7 Remake since it’s most modern mod to a classic (although I haven’t played remake). FF 9 I heard was amazing, and FF X is a gem. 8 I believe is underrated, I really enjoyed it back in the day.

Generally they all have great stories so I hear. It may be tough to play 1-3 in 2024 unless you grew up on old school JRPGs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Thank you for doing this in a world of selfishness, your kindness is a beacon of happiness. I wouldn’t mind winning, but your reply gave me the best reward I could get. I’ll take this info and go hunting for my first foray into Final Fantasy. Don’t delete this post. I’ll be back to tell you what I ended up with and how I felt about it.

Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Final fantasy bundle please :). (N.2)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

LOL I started at your comment a little too long trying to decipher what N.2 meant, and I was like, does this person mean "M.2" as in for an M.2 drive for PC? And then it hit me. I am not a smart person sometimes.

More seriously though, I too have been looking forward to FF 1-6. I played some of the more recent FF's (specifically 7, 8, 10, 13) and remember playing bits of III as a kid on SNES. I want to go back to the origin. Since I got my Steam Deck during the winter holiday last year, I can try to make time to play these games on the side, too.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

So nice of you to do this! I see other comments suggesting TRI-III remastered runs well on Deck, so I would love a chance to give that a go!

I just finished Horizon: Forbidden West last week (playing the DLC now), and it left me with mixed feelings. I loved the story of the first game so much, and was so excited when FW came to PC, but it just did not hit the same way. RIP Lance Reddick, anytime Sylens was in the story it was a treat.
