Best of luck everyone! Reply to this comment if you have questions.
Please continue to be kind to each other, and most importantly, be kind to yourself. It’s easy to get so angry in today’s divisive world. You can’t change the world, but you can certainly help those closest to you.
Stay safe everyone!

Also here’s the cute cat meme I made. I just like cats.

Computers are not only witchcraft, but they’re leechcraft that would have us on all fours like a beast! Why program when we can congram?
Now excuse me while I turn off my PC and go hop on my Steam Deck and zone out for a bit.
NieR: Automata looks cool, I’ve heard it’s great
I’m not entering just commenting
+1 on neir automata. Don’t look anything up about the story, Yoko Taro (I think that’s who directed the story) has one crazy mind for story telling the game is absolutely nuts
Buy the game for the big android butts and stay for… well you’ll see
I like going into a story blind, it’s part of the fun!
Nice. It really is a great game and now me and everyone else who has played neir must replay it because it was simply mentioned
Absolutely, and I hear the same thing from everyone.
Right after I finish my replay of Chrono Trigger (RIP Akira Toriyama), I’m playing NieR Automata next:
You COULD do that, ORRRR…
You could start another replay of your comfort game! (I alternate between a few, mostly an MMO I grew up on and the first WatchDogs game, so thoroughly burnt out on bethesda games)
How dare you call me out like that bro!
That’s exactly what I’m gonna do, dammit.
EDIT: Darnit, I also need to finish Tears of the Kingdom, too. I hate being an adult sometimes. Nned to figure out how to make money without working so I can just play all the games!
I’m not entering, just seeing what’s going on.
Jinkies! I didn’t expect it!
Tomb Raider I-III Remasted will be fun to play. I had one of the originals on ps1 that I played years ago. I always got stuck right at the beginning in a cave section and never got past it. It would be interesting to give it another shot 😂.
I enjoyed the reboot trilogy from a few years ago, and I’ve been meaning to play the original games. Great way to get into it is with the Remastered ones! Good luck!
Thanks!
Hogwarts legacy was fun when I borrowed my buddies ps5 but as for something new this year my new hobby… cannabis.
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!
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.
I will go with nier automata!
Thank you for the raffle kind stranger!
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!
Puns come to you nier automatac I see
Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle would be awesome. Thanks for doing this!
NieR: Automata
For some reason this New Scientist cartoon lives in my head. Maybe because it challenges the way I think about the future? Or maybe it’s just cute.
Thanks so much for doing this! I almost forgot to enter.
I mean technically we do have a Hotdog Car, it’s just not an EV. XD
FF7 Remake if I win, please. :)
Not creative enough for the optional pieces right now.
Over the last year I’ve been dating a potterhead and I never read/watched the whole series (due to generally disliking fictional books and not really watching movies). However, I love video games and feel like playing Hogwarts Legacy would allow me to know the universe of HP a little better while also being more connected with my boyfriend’s interests - we could also play it together!
Now that’s a good plan! Best of luck with you, as I enjoyed the game since it did connect with that universe. The game design and locations are very similar to how it’s presented in the movies and heavily considers the books. They did a wonderful job being as true to the universe as they could, and it was a delight to fly around on a broom and see Hogwarts.
Fun story to share - my spouse was also a big potterhead, but what they never told me was that they didn’t finish the books (and I thought they did).
I won’t reveal spoilers, so I’ll be very generic. But there’s a certain book later in the series where a major plot twist occurs that really surprised me. My spouse and I were dating at the time, and I let it slip what that spoiler was, and they pretended they knew about it and never told me. Years later after we were married, they revealed the truth to me. I. Was. Devastated.
But, grateful that they said Yes and married me anyway LOL.
Wow that’s crazy, did she read the book even after that major spoiler you didn’t know you were giving her?
I’ll be so excited if I actually win this and get to play it with my boyfriend, sounds like such a good time :)
Yeah, she read it and finished the series, still cherishes them. Just happy that she didn’t end the relationship after that mistake ha ha. I got lucky
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.
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.
Haha, I love the phrasing “in talks for kids”, negotiations are going well I hope! It’s such a commitment- my wife really wanted kids but I wasn’t so sure. We always had another thing before we could start and eventually we agreed on just having one. The way the world is, we really wanted to make sure we could commit our focus and energy on her. Now that she’s here I couldn’t imagine it any other way - she’s as much of part of my life as I am, it feels like.
I’d like to try out Hogwarts Legacy if you could wave that magic wand my way. Here’s a pic of my dogs for your troubles.
Why it’s no trouble at all to share me doggo pics! They look cozy on that bed, but concerned LOL. “Why are you taking our picture?!”
Super cute, I just love the big ears on that young german shepherd as they’re growing up (if that’s the correct shepherd breed I think).
Since there are a lot of memes posted here, I would like to remind you that
Signing up for Nier Automata
