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!

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! 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!

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

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!

I want to be a hairy wizard! One entry for Hogwarts please!

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.

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

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.

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.

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'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!

Hi,

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

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

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

no excuse! You could take a picture of a meme on a computer screen and fail to crop the screenshot

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!

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!

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.

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’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.
