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.

Thanks for the giveaway! I'd love octopath traveller.

Something interesting this year... My workplace agreed to adopt an automatic inflation adjustment and transparent pay scale, and my wife is going back to university to get out of the restaurant business.

Good year so far, hopefully shit doesn't hit the fan following the US elections.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hey, congrats for your wife! I'm sure she's very much looking forward to that! Definitely do your best to help support her during that time. When my spouse went back to university a few years back, I made sure to give them space and try to do little things like bringing a drink, or a treat when they were studying, etc. It goes a long way, and I wish you both best of luck with that new path and hopefully she lands into a career she'll love.

2024 overall has been a decent year. As a US citizen who is progressive, living in a Red State, I have my own fears about things. I really hope that enough people will vote and we'll make sure to keep fascism at bay. Part of why I love things like giveaways, because I think it's a small treat and a really nice thing to do for others. I got a few game keys over my years at Reddit, and I'd love to see cool stuff like that here if Lemmy grows into a great alternative one day (it's good, but certainly not great. The engagement is quite low and the comments are not stimulating for niche communities).

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (4 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!

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] 2 points 9 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] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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!

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

I'll give it a go, didn't see the previous give always. ~~The Invincible would be sweet to play in full. I tried the demo and the story had me intrigued and the art style is really cool. Similar in vibe to Red Matter and other "everyone's vanished" mysteries.~~ I'm dumb and can't read. Out of the options there I'd love to relieve some old Tomb Raider nostalgia!

On another note, I recently cleaned up a pretty gnarly PC case. When my friend was in need to a PC I threw together some old parts for him. The last couple of years got pretty dark for him, and his flat was turned into more or less a drug den. But he's recently kicked everyone out and reclaimed it. I was in need of a case to build a server in and he asked if I wanted the old one back as he was able to buy a new computer for himself.

All in all it took a bit over 1 litre of isopropyl alcohol, some elbow grease, and a water hose :P

Thanks for doing this! FFVII was my first RPG ever. I remember playing it day in and out. We would have family over for holidays, it didn't matter. I was glued to the TV. Aerith's death made me cry as a young boy. I was devastated. They killed a main character, a love interest. It blew my mind.

Been obsessed with FFVII and the final fantasy series ever since. Nobody Uematsu is an amazing musician. So much depth added.

The story is great, character development is fun.. I just haven't gotten around to picking this up and playing it because life gets in the way and my home constantly needs repairs.. would be nice to pick up and relive things in 2024.

Anyways, I'm hoping to be picked for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

Here's a meme!

No memes unfortunately but Hogwarts Legacy would be cool.

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.

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.
