Sad I cannot enter. Created an account for the next one. Thanks for giving back

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

Not entering, just wanna applaud you for doing this. I bought the TR I-III remaster in the summer sale and I will say I am pleased with it at the sale price. It plays pretty well on Steam Deck and scratches the nostalgia itch.

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

there's this documentary video on youttube, about papag, (the recycled meat)

and one of my friends become vegan after watched that video :) and.. the hogwarts legacy would be good hehe

thanks. that's the kind of you to make a giveaway like these, kudos

pardon my english

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

Your english is great, dude. I only speak one primary language, and for other languages I only know how to ask "where is the bathroom" and the swear words. You always have to learn the swear words LOL.

Tomb raider definitive survivor trilogy looks cool! I somehow never played any tomb raider games, but i did hear good things about them. I've been really enjoying the "self aware lara croft plays tomb raider" it's a really fun series about an AI lara croft playing and making in character comments about what's going on. It's pretty cool.

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

The reboot trilogy (Survivor) was my introduction to Tomb Raider. Enjoyed them very much, they were great games. And it got me to buy and try out some of the older games. I played part I, and I think I started part II but probably some other game caught my attention.

Since I don't remember those playthroughs, the Remastered I-III would be a great reintroduction.

I'll check out the self aware AI you talked about, sounds interesting and has me curious

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

Octopath Traveller looks interesting.

I’ve been getting into Metroidvania’s recently. Don’t know how I went 40 years without playing them but here we are. They’re great to play on the Steam Deck.

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

I'm interested in the FFI to FFVI bundle, why not.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Super cool of you to do! I've definitely been curious to try Hogwarts Legacy.

Random fact I learned recently; dragonflies are statistically the most successful predatora on the planet with a 96% success rate. For comparison, a lion is about 27-34% successful while hunting.

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

I saw some dragonflies flying around my backyard the other day and was reminded of that fact.

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

That's a cool fact, I had no idea nor did I think about dragonflies as predators!

forgive the crudely made meme, I whipped it up while I'm at work:

Ff7 remake integrate would be cool! I've been playing kingdom hearts since it finally came out on steam, and right before I went to Disney world!

Meme unrelated but it broke me.

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

LMAO that's gross as hell, but funny. I know beans is pretty reputable on the Fediverse.

Love Kingdom Hearts, enjoy the journey! I've only played part one, got partway through part two, and then played dream drop distance on 3DS back in the day. But during that whole time I enjoyed it. Definitely need to pick them up on Steam, but I'm a patient gamer now since my time is so limited.

Hi,

I would like to enter for Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle.

(Currently on phone so no memes :3 ) Thanks!

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

no excuse! You could take a picture of a meme on a computer screen and fail to crop the screenshot

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

I see you eated the purple berries! And it's perfectly cropped, as all memes should be.

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

I like purple berries. This one is homebrew as well. :)

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

Nier Automata would be my pick. It's been on my wishlist for forever, but I never remember it during sales!

A drawn diagram of the McRib that lists the ingredients as being: sugar, sand, cardboard, paint, red stuff, chewy bits, fat, and part of a couch.

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

I had a McRib probably 10+ years ago... it was okay. They probably needed Lead Paint instead to add that extra metallicky flavor I was looking for.

No memes unfortunately but Hogwarts Legacy would be cool.

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

how dare you leave us no meme.

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

Have a meme

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

My PC is really low end, but I think I can run FF1-6 remake. So I’ll bid for those. Good luck all! Cat tax (plus dog snuggles)

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

Aww they're so cute, looks cozy! Thanks for the cat tax!

Darn, I should have asked people to post cute pet pics! Note to self for next time.

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

Requesting the I-VI bundle, hoping for the best!

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

So I've only seen the Star Trek reboot movies with Chris Pine, and Wrath of Khan. Enjoyed them, but I know the Chris Pine ones may not have been like the actual shows and instead more action-oriented or whatever. It's been years since I've seen them.

Everything here is Star Trek, I need to watch them.

Where do I start?

I already own the games that I'm interested in, so no entry here, just wanted to say thanks for putting on this giveaway two years in a row and making the fediverse feel a little more fun.

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

No prob! The fediverse is still a nascent platform, and even PCMR is a nascent community compared to the Reddit original. Plus I guess I'm not cool enough or creative enough to make frequent posts every day like The Picard Maneuver, but I try to comment at least once every other day.

Giveaways are always fun! At least I can do that periodically lol

Now I just need to find a game you might be interested in next time. :)

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

Plus I guess I'm not cool enough or creative enough to make frequent posts every day like The Picard Maneuver

It is quite impressive and, honestly, frightening how one user can be the source of so much of the content here. I don't think anyone can reasonably set such standards for themselves.

I'm more than happy to continue cheering giveaways from the sidelines. I'm not rich by any means, but I'm lucky enough to be able to get myself a game if I really want it; save em for someone who might not be able to!

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

yeah exactly dude, that's my sentiment and why i'm doing it. While it's not critical for us to have explosive daily posts in the Fediverse, I just really hope one day we'll be able to get more people commenting. It'll be cool to have good conversations here.

I think these days people are just so used to browsing on a phone, upvoting, and moving on. I miss web 1.0 and Forums. I guess that's why I've stuck around with Lemmy since the Reddit API Exodus.

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

I would love octopath traveler, I played the demo when it came out but never got a chance to play more!

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

Hogwarts legacy would be awsome. My brother in law keeps telling me it's the best thing since learning to magic away your poop

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

Octopath Traveler!

Sorry, got no good meme to share. Thanks for organising this!

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

FF I-VI bundle.

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

Requesting Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. Thank you!

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

I will go with nier automata!

Thank you for the raffle kind stranger!

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

It's a game I've been looking forward to play myself, especially afer my doctor cleared me to play it.

I'm not NieR sighted after all!

A few friends have been trying to get me into trying out turn-based games, so i'd love that copy of Octopath.

But for exciting news: decided to challenge myself a little, and write out guitar tabs for a recently released song, by ear, which i've never done before. It's been really difficult, but really fun at the same time!

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

That sounds extremely challenging! Good luck, I heard Octopath was a gem, and probably a good way to feel out if turn-based is for you.

Hmm now that I think about it, my first turn-based RPG was Pokemon Blue when I was a kid.
