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.
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. :)
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!
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.
I’m not entering, just seeing what’s going on.
Jinkies! I didn’t expect it!
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.
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.
That’s exactly how I plan to play it, too! Nothing like kicking back on a couch or equivalent and playing on steam deck!
Entering for Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy
Nier Automata would be my pick. It’s been on my wishlist for forever, but I never remember it during sales!
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.
Here’s The Simpsons version of what is in a hot dog: https://media.tenor.co/images/eda635dcf9e310202c4649e1ad516e09/raw
They’re very sweet, from what I recall. I much prefer a nice BBQ sauce over some Kirkland (Costco) pulled pork, if I’m going the pre-made/easy route.
Hey! Thank you very much for doing this, personally id nier automauta
or hogwarts legacy.Also here is a relevant meme:
Oh, and also i just 100%ed another crab’s treasure, its an excellent soulslike that shell leave you wanting more! (sorry)
I mean that poster in the screenshot is right to be honest. Less work more game
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 😅
Ready for a pro gamer move?
The trick is to cut only a little bit into your sleep, and then significantly cut into work.
Thanks for the tip!
This is super cool of you!
I would absolutely love the Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle, both for my own nostalgia and to introduce my wife to them. She’s only played X and XIV.
To accompany my entry, have a homemade FF4 meme:
That’s a nice giveaway selection. I have them already so I’ll leave this post only for appreciation. Thanks!
Chiming in here to not mess with top level comments. Thanks OP, you’re awesome.
I would love if possible to get the code for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.
It’s verified to work with my Steam Deck.
Hee Hee Intensifies
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.
I saw some dragonflies flying around my backyard the other day and was reminded of that fact.
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:
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)
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.
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
Ugh. That’s how I feel when anyone says the magic words “Persona 5”.
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’ve heard good things about final fantasy VII so i definitely wouldn’t mind that. Also look at pretty little greg
After a while, Gregodile.
