Please continue to be kind to each other, and most importantly, be kind to yourself. It’s easy to get so angry in today’s divisive world. You can’t change the world, but you can certainly help those closest to you.
Stay safe everyone!

Also here’s the cute cat meme I made. I just like cats.
I’ve never actually played any Final Fantasy game yet. It’d be cool if Final Fantasy I-VI is still available for entry!
Hi there! Sorry, the contest is already over as of Aug 31st. I’m drawing winners now and just waiting to hear back from people as they trickle in their responses.
Keep an eye on the next one: I’m aiming to do another one somewhere around the upcoming Winter holiday. Cheers!
Okay, no problem. That was worth a shot
Hogwarts legacy was fun when I borrowed my buddies ps5 but as for something new this year my new hobby… cannabis.
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered
@[email protected] - Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered! You will have 48 hours to acknowledge me before I send you the code. Please respond to my Direct Message. If you do not respond back to me in 48 hours, your entry will be forfeited and I will redraw for the another winner.
If you do win and claim the game key, for transparency purposes please respond back to my comment letting everyone know you were successful - but only if you want to. Hope to hear back from you!
Final fantasy bundle please :). (N.2)
LOL I started at your comment a little too long trying to decipher what N.2 meant, and I was like, does this person mean “M.2” as in for an M.2 drive for PC? And then it hit me. I am not a smart person sometimes.
More seriously though, I too have been looking forward to FF 1-6. I played some of the more recent FF’s (specifically 7, 8, 10, 13) and remember playing bits of III as a kid on SNES. I want to go back to the origin. Since I got my Steam Deck during the winter holiday last year, I can try to make time to play these games on the side, too.
Sorry but #2 pls!
Hey, thanks for the giveaway! I’d like to enter for Crisis Core.
No memes unfortunately but Hogwarts Legacy would be cool.
how dare you leave us no meme.
Have a meme
I will go with nier automata!
Thank you for the raffle kind stranger!
It’s a game I’ve been looking forward to play myself, especially afer my doctor cleared me to play it.
I’m not NieR sighted after all!
Puns come to you nier automatac I see
FF I-VI bundle.
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 😂.
I enjoyed the reboot trilogy from a few years ago, and I’ve been meaning to play the original games. Great way to get into it is with the Remastered ones! Good luck!
Thanks!
NieR: Automata looks cool, I’ve heard it’s great
I’m not entering just commenting
+1 on neir automata. Don’t look anything up about the story, Yoko Taro (I think that’s who directed the story) has one crazy mind for story telling the game is absolutely nuts
Buy the game for the big android butts and stay for… well you’ll see
I like going into a story blind, it’s part of the fun!
Absolutely, and I hear the same thing from everyone.
Right after I finish my replay of Chrono Trigger (RIP Akira Toriyama), I’m playing NieR Automata next:
You COULD do that, ORRRR…
You could start another replay of your comfort game! (I alternate between a few, mostly an MMO I grew up on and the first WatchDogs game, so thoroughly burnt out on bethesda games)
How dare you call me out like that bro!
That’s exactly what I’m gonna do, dammit.
EDIT: Darnit, I also need to finish Tears of the Kingdom, too. I hate being an adult sometimes. Nned to figure out how to make money without working so I can just play all the games!
Nice. It really is a great game and now me and everyone else who has played neir must replay it because it was simply mentioned
Requesting the I-VI bundle, hoping for the best!
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?
Watch The Original Series first, then The Next Generation, and Deep Space 9. If you want more of TOS and TNG then watch Voyager and Picard, if you want something modern watch Strange New Worlds. Also watch The Orville, which isn’t technically Star Trek proper but is a great watch. Everyhing is on Paramount+ except The Orville which is on Disney + and Hulu.
TY for this, this is super helpful. I’ve added this into a note on my phone. I have a Game Backlog that I manage in a Note, a Song backlog (for albums I need to sit down and really listen to), a book backlog, and also a TV Show and Movie backlog. But I have no time for all of this stuff LOL.
Why yes, I sort of like to collect things without actually doing the things.
Ofc happy to help
Entry for Octopath Traveller, please!
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!
Now that’s a good plan! Best of luck with you, as I enjoyed the game since it did connect with that universe. The game design and locations are very similar to how it’s presented in the movies and heavily considers the books. They did a wonderful job being as true to the universe as they could, and it was a delight to fly around on a broom and see Hogwarts.
Fun story to share - my spouse was also a big potterhead, but what they never told me was that they didn’t finish the books (and I thought they did).
I won’t reveal spoilers, so I’ll be very generic. But there’s a certain book later in the series where a major plot twist occurs that really surprised me. My spouse and I were dating at the time, and I let it slip what that spoiler was, and they pretended they knew about it and never told me. Years later after we were married, they revealed the truth to me. I. Was. Devastated.
But, grateful that they said Yes and married me anyway LOL.
Wow that’s crazy, did she read the book even after that major spoiler you didn’t know you were giving her?
I’ll be so excited if I actually win this and get to play it with my boyfriend, sounds like such a good time :)
Yeah, she read it and finished the series, still cherishes them. Just happy that she didn’t end the relationship after that mistake ha ha. I got lucky
