Hi, really love your positive vibes <3

Something cool that happened to me this year? I would say meeting my LDR partner after not seeing him for almost a full year!!! The best thing is, the LDR part was so painless because I just fully trust him and his commitment to the relationship.

I have some hydrohomies and/or dad jokes memes saved but this one just absolutely got me.

<you won't regret this "NSFW" meme, i guarantee>

I'm interested in Strange Horticulture because it is in my wishlist for awhile! :D

Edit: Changed the game I picked and remove any mention of previous game. 👍

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

@midimalist@lemdro.id - Congratulations! Since you're the only one who entered for Strange Horticulture, you're the winner! I've sent you a Direct Message containing the key! If you would like for transparency purposes, please reply to my comment here and let everyone know you successfully claimed it. Thanks for entering and happy you won!

LMAO now this is a stupid meme right here! I absolutely giggled at this one. Thank you so much for this meme! I'm work from home, but if I was in office I'd really want to try this on someone!

Congrats on meeting your LDR partner!! That's wonderful and I wish you the best of luck and success in that relationship!

I've intentionally avoided FF7 remake spoilers, having played that game as a kid. I was fortunate because while I had a struggling parent and certainly couldn't afford one, we were able to get our hands on one at a flea market I think when the PS2 launched. The seller wasn't sure what they had, so we got it at a really good price.

[–] jeffreyosborne@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Hello! Very cool idea. I would like to enter for the Tomb raider survivor trilogy. A recent hobby I've discovered is repairing old bikes, which turns out to be really fun and actually useful as well!

My girlfriend has been watching her friends dog while they are out of town and she sent me this recently. I can’t exactly remember the pups name right offhand which is sad because I went to his birthday party.. they had cake, a portrait on the wall and they actually made stickers of the dog for everyone.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade would be rad, the og was the first rpg I played and finished.

Thanks for putting this on!

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Well that’s a cute pup and I always love a derpy face! I’ll admit a dog birthday party is different, but I’ve never been invited to something like that before. I just give special treats to my pets for their birthdays

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.

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 😂.

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!

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 3 points 3 months ago

Requesting Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. Thank you!

[–] OriginalMP3@lemmy.world 3 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!

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 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

[–] DrDominate@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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!

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 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?

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.
