Entry for Nier Automata :)

Here's a meme for ya

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.

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.

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!

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!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month 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.

An entry for Octopath Traveller here 🙌

Here's a picture of my cat, the best thing that's happened to me in a while.

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!

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

[–] CatZoomies 2 points 1 month 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?

Entering for Nier:Automata. Thanks for doing this

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 2 points 1 month 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

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 1 month ago (3 children)

Thanks for the chance to win I would like to give Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition a playthrough :)

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.
