Best of luck everyone! Reply to this comment if you have questions.

EDIT Sep 21: All games were claimed!

There's still a list of leftover keys that an anonymous Lemmy user donated to me. I'll make a separate post on !GiftOfGaming@lemmy.world either next week or the week after, just so I can take some rest and recover from my cold.

Thanks again everyone for participating! Look out for a future big giveaway I'll host, most likely in Winter 2024. Stay safe, and as always: remember to be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself - you'd be surprised what a difference you can make for yourself and others in your local community by being kind.

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.

I'm not entering, just seeing what's going on.

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.

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!

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:

I would love if possible to get the code for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

It's verified to work with my Steam Deck.

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 😅

That's a nice giveaway selection. I have them already so I'll leave this post only for appreciation. Thanks!

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)

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.

Awesome initiative! I wouldn't mind entering for a copy of Hogwarts Legacy myself.

I'd like to request Pony Island. Honestly I'll probably get this even if I don't win because I love games that troll me.

I've heard good things about final fantasy VII so i definitely wouldn't mind that. Also look at pretty little greg

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)

NieR: Automata looks cool, I've heard it's great

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.

Hogwarts for me. As for memes, this one never gets old

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!

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.

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. 👍

Requesting Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. Thank you!

What a neat giveaway! One raffle for Crisis core!! This made me chuckle

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 😂.

Entry for Nier Automata :)

Here's a meme for ya

I love that you're doing this! Super cool. I would like to throw my hat in for FFVII Remake. I started it on PS5 when it released, but I've since gotten rid of my console and am now an exclusive PC gamer. It's got a platinum rating on ProtonDB, so I am ready.

As for anecdotes, well, I've introduced my 65+ year old parents to anime! We've been meeting once a week for the past month or so to watch Attack on Titan. It's been great watching the show for a second time (so much foreshadowing!) and seeing my parents really get into it.

Hogwart Legacy has been on my list for a while now, but not high enough to buy while I have such a large backlog.

Hmm... I've got a few memes, but I'll also talk about one of my hobbies: butterfly knife flipping.

A few years ago I stumbled across a video of someone doing some sick trick with a balisong. I found the balisong subreddit and did some research, bought a cheapo trainer off Amazon, and practiced and watch YouTube videos until my fingers were bruised.

Eventually for to be pretty decent (enough to impress people IRL with a few tricks, not internet good) and got a few nice knives and trainers (a few Squid Industries, a Kershaw Lucha w/ Flytanium handles, and some random others). I already semi-collect pocketknives, so this is a step past that.

Downside is, balisongs tree expensive, and I tend to cycle my hobbies and not come back to them for a while. Right now I'm not in a flipping kick, but maybe someday soon I'll get back to it...

Also, meme!

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!

Entering Hogwarts Legacy,

I took my little goofballs off cousins to an amusement park, never been so scared in my life as I see the youngest instantly take off like Usain Bolt. So glad they got phones at least because I wasn't sure how I would explain to my uncle that I lost his child 5 seconds after entering.

Sad I cannot enter. Created an account for the next one. Thanks for giving back

An entry for Octopath Traveller here 🙌

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

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!

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.

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.

I would like to have ff I to VI as this is a cultural gap I have to never have played the final fantasy games :(

there's this documentary video on youttube, about papag, (the recycled meat)

and one of my friends become vegan after watched that video :) and.. the hogwarts legacy would be good hehe

thanks. that's the kind of you to make a giveaway like these, kudos

pardon my english

The Tomb Raider remasters seem interesting, and as for a meme...

Entering for Nier:Automata. Thanks for doing this

NieR: Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition please 😁

I have been eyeing this game for so long and I need a break from my 160 hours of Original Sin 2 🙈

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

Here are some pics: https://imgur.com/a/tGLus1O

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!

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.

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.

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!

I'd like to put my name in for octopath traveler!

Fun things that happened this year. I made candied jalapeños that were very good, and also the strawberry honey butter. Once fall comes around, I'll make more apple butter!

I dont need these games. Just curious as to why you are doing this. The giveaways which happened last year was to drive up engagement on lemmy but I don't think that is an issue now. If this is just philanthropy, I think it is very kind of you.

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.

I'd be interested in the FF7 remake.

Nothing interesting to say really, just been a long week and glad to be able to finally relax.

As much as I love Final Fantasy (I have all the originals on Steam, even the PC ports of 7 & 8), Harry Potter would be for my kid. She loves that universe

First of all, excellent username. Second, I would love a chance to win the Tomb Raider I - III remaster just for the nostalgia. Third, the cool new thing I've done this year is take part in WeeklyBeats, a year-long challenge to create and post a new music track every week of 2024. So far so good! Fourth, I don't have a decent meme to share but here (if I can get photos to work) is a photo of my void.

I started watching the Nier Automata anime last night and it got me intrigued about the game. I was planning to get the Yorha edition once it gets on sale again.

Thank you for these kind of posts, more power to you and the gatos!

Entering for NieR: Automata

I'll put a meme here tomorrow :D

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.

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 would love Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade

FF7 Remake if I win, please. :)

Not creative enough for the optional pieces right now.

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...

Interested in Final Fantasy I-VI bundle

Entry for Octopath Traveller, please!

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!

Octopath traveler looks fun

Also have a meme

Octopath Traveler would be great, ty for doing this giveaway! :)

I started watching The Boys again last night, jumping in at the beginning of S3. Watched a whole 6 episodes, good stuff!

Final fantasy bundle please :). (N.2)

Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle would be awesome. Thanks for doing this!

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

FF I-VI bundle.

Not entering, just a thank you and good luck.

NieR:Automata

Just yestarday I started a book which is 9000 pages long. Ward by J.C. McCrae, it is sequel to Worm which has 7000 pages.

Crisis Core, homie :)

I will go with nier automata!

Thank you for the raffle kind stranger!

1 entry for Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy, a large fry and a large coke, please.

I'd like to relive the best times of my life with the FF I - VI bundle

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!

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

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’m interested in FF7 remake! Thanks for the contest!

Octpath Traveller pleaawse UwU

Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrate would spark my interest.

Put me down for octopath! I've always been intrigued by it's art style and would love to give it a whirl.

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

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

Hi,

I would like to enter for Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle.

(Currently on phone so no memes :3 ) Thanks!

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.

Free stuff sign me up, Hogwarts for my Misses!

I would like Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, please.

And I found some memes: https://staging.cohostcdn.org/attachment/446b97ec-ff79-4de2-8cfd-86041d0cf395/7.jpg https://i.redd.it/xcgz6kjmtwv71.jpg

Octopath Traveler!

Sorry, got no good meme to share. Thanks for organising this!

I’ve never played any of the final fantasy series. I hear so many wonderful things about them. Even heard of a couple who bonded over it. So any of the Final Fantasy. If I should try one before another… let me know. :)

And thank you.

I'd be interested in Octopath Traveler.

As for cool stuff, I live in Japan these days, and every summer there are festivals that go on every night for several days in a row. There's nothing quite like the feeling of the festivals back home in the US, I think because the repeated music and chanting isn't really something we do. One of the festivals near me makes these giant 20+ m floats that you can see over the tops of buildings. This is contrasted with the fact that the area is kind of poor (for Japan), and is losing population like almost all rural areas, so coming together to put on this kind of event every year makes things feel hopeful in a way.

Here's a yt clip showing some aspects of one of the festivals.

Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle

Putting in for Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle (Pixel Remasters), please! My god, I had no idea this existed until just now!

Hey, thanks for the giveaway! I'd like to enter for Crisis Core.

Welp I will once again try for Hogwarts Legacy.

As for a meme, this isn't mine and it's kinda old but it really managed to stick in my head:

Thank You very much for this giveaway and your work moderating this community!

I wanna give Nier automata a try and I guess I will share something interesting.

Slowly for the past month I have been trying to make a markdown notes app which is inspired by Google Keep and Obsidian, last week I finally decided to add it to github. The fun part is that it is written in dart/flutter, but I started learning flutter like 3 months ago cuz it was a cool language that can easily be compiled to all devices from Linux to Windows to iOS and Android. Regardless, this project has consumed all consious thought in my brain, but I still suck at it and not many libraries I can use that achieve what I need, a struggle for sure.

Currently I am trying to figure out how to make it sync with Nextcloud first, then I plan to add other services like rsync, dropbox, gdrive, etc. Sorry if this sounds more like an advertisement for my app, I just never put my heart and soul into something so much before.

id to enter for sniper elite 4

(I'll find a funny meme to put here later)

I'd like to enter for the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters!

This is so I can add the older Final Fantasy games to my meme repertoire.

Thank you!

Awesome that you are doing this! I’ll throw in for a chance at the Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remasters.

FF1 was the first RPG I ever played! Fell in love with the series and the genre. But some of those early ones that got strangely named releases (or no release at all) in the U.S. made me miss out on a few of these. I’d be super excited to play through all of them! Middle age has turned me into a nostalgia gamer lol

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!

Thanks for doing this, I'm in for NieR if you'll have me!

I'd like to put a bid in for Hogwarts: Legacy please!

I've never actually played any Final Fantasy game yet. It'd be cool if Final Fantasy I-VI is still available for entry!

Final fantasy pixel remasters!

I just recently watched Poker Face, and it was amazing. I also happened to watch 6 seasons of Columbo in the past year, and Poker Face is Rian Johnson's (Knives Out) tribute to that show. If you were ever a fan, you should check it out.

Final Fantasy I-VI bundle

Entry for Hogwarts legacy! Thanks so much for the giveaway, very kind of you

Hogwarts Legacy

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

Final Fantasy VII Remake

Crisis Core please! Kids are going back to school soon so I’ll have more time for games!

Im gonna go with Nier: Automata

I've recently gotten into sim racing (assetto corsa and dirt rally) and got a whole setup with a wheel, pedals, and shifter. Unfortunately the setup makes it difficult to get at my mouse and keyboard to play "normal" games, but I'm in the process of figuring it out

Entering for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

I haven't done too much gaming recently, I've been busy learning how to work my 3D printer and the last few weeks I got a 1988 Suzuki Samurai I've been messing with and working on.

Right now I don’t have time to play, but I wanted to tank you for your Giveaways! You’re like Santa but better

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

Any idea when you might get around to the 2nd winners of the games that have 2? We know you're a busy person and you're great nonetheless. Was just curious :]

1: Interested in: FF7-RI

2:

3: Best thing which happened this year was convincing my landlord to upgrade the gas hot water system to a heat pump. I hated that old HWS so fucking much...

Hogwarts legacy was fun when I borrowed my buddies ps5 but as for something new this year my new hobby... cannabis.

I'm entering for FFVII Remake Intergrade. Thanks for organizing the giveaway !

Hogwarts Legacy would be cool since I got a beefier PC this year. I honestly don't have any newer games to try out what it's made of.

No memes unfortunately but Hogwarts Legacy would be cool.

Best of luck everyone!

I would love to win one of the keys for the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Sorry but #2 pls!

Awesome initiative! Thank you kind stranger.

I’d be happy to get Octopath Traveler!

When I was younger, I loved solo RPGs, then WoW came along. It was amazing; I loved my years spent on that game, but it ruined my gaming experience afterward. It was very hard to find that social aspect elsewhere, and I ended up quitting gaming. After several years, I got a Steam Deck and I'm rediscovering my love for solo games.

Old but gold:

I would like to enter for Crisis Core.

I'm interested in Crisis Core!

You seem to be a nice guy. Do you know who is not a nice guy? J.K. Rowling. She is scum. So buying Hogwarts Legacy would be a big no no for me. Piracy or as a gift it's fine. So if I am one of the lucky few, I would be happy to get a copy.
