Sorry folks, I got back from a work trip and am also getting over a cold. This is the first day that I feel well enough to use my computer, so I'll continue with redraws. So far, most of the keys have been claimed but others have not gotten back to me within the 48 hours.

Best of luck everyone! Reply to this comment if you have questions.
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.
Since there are a lot of memes posted here, I would like to remind you that
Signing up for Nier Automata
Sorry but #2 pls!
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.
Hell yeah I’ll always take cute cat pics! Thanks for sharing, you love to see a good void.
I haven’t heard of weekly beats, but that’s a pretty dope thing to do. I can’t imagine getting inspired to try to come up with a new song each week, so it sounds like a really cool creative outlet and a lot of fun - provided of course it doesn’t get stressful.
It has been surprisingly un-stressful so far, probably due to the ridiculously supportive community there. The best part is that everyone’s submissions go live at the same time every week, so there’s a whole new playlist of brand new music to enjoy!
Well, even though your username says you’re a refrigerator, I’ll take you word for it.
Really appreciate the introduction to this! I added a reminder for myself to check this out tomorrow - pretty cool you get a whole playlist of songs to listen to each day!
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!
@Fuzzypyro@lemmy.world - Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade! 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!
Well that’s a cute pup and I always love a derpy face! I’ll admit a dog birthday party is different, but I’ve never been invited to something like that before. I just give special treats to my pets for their birthdays
Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle
LMAO, this is dumb but I like it
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
Who cares what your kid wants? Just get Final Fantasy for yourself. Go on, do it!
just kidding! My spouse and I are in talks for having kids, and this is one of the biggest things I’m looking forward to is getting a little one that will be into gaming as much as me.
I love the HP universe, I just hate the author. Hogwarts Legacy was a great game! Best of luck to you and your kid if you win!
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!
Why have I never heard of candied jalapenos? I love jalapenos! Sounds delicious and something I’d want to try at least once!
They’re delicious! I recommend them! I sometimes ship them to people, when I have extras. And they’re inside the US, cause shipping outside is…wow, super expensive!
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.
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).
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.
So it’s several reasons really. I’ll provide only one reason, as the others I don’t think I’m ready to share publically.
Right now I’m fortunate to be able to do something like this, and it’s entirely philanthropic.
The longer answer:
I just think there is so much anger in the world right now, and perhaps it’s because we’re all always online. Social Media has caused a lot of problems, and it’s very easy for propoganda, mass manipulation, and social engineering to be conducted on grand scales through social media and the predatory algorithms. Thanks to certain people that have used these platforms to amplify their voices and reach, division and normally taboo topics have become more tolerated and accepted. With all that crap going on, and some personal things with relationships I have with some people in my life, I’m just disappointed that the world is so much angrier now. I did some soul-searching and learned to accept what I can control, and do what I could for the people close to me in my life and in my somewhat near community. So for one of my favorite hobbies, gaming, it just made sense to do things like this and offer a giveaway on occasion. It’s just a little nice gesture for others so that they can get the opportunity to play some games. I also won several keys in giveaways in Reddit and figure we could do something cool like that here.
Well I hope the crap going on passes and the personal things work out favourably. Just remember that there more sane reasonable people out there than the ones sowing division and hatred. Hell the fact that lemmy is thriving with thousands of servers points to the unity that people can achieve. Cheers
I would like to enter for Crisis Core.
I’m interested in Crisis Core!
Heck yeah, me too! I never had a PSP and never really heard of this game. But I loved FF7 having played it when I was little, and probably a replay of it when I was a young teen. I loved Final Fantasy Advent Children.
Crisis Core is definitely on my backlog to play. My plan is that in 2031 when Sony eventually releases the conclusion to the FF Remake on PC, I will play all four games back to back.
God I hope it’s sooner than 2031!
I’m interested in FF7 remake! Thanks for the contest!
The Tomb Raider remasters seem interesting, and as for 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!
I only watched Season 1 and it dropped off my radar, I need to watch this show because I think they’re on 4 or 5 now.
Yeah, 4 seasons, I finished them all now and had a great time!
Apparently there’s even a spin-off, though I think I’m gonna wait a bit until I watch that, to not burn out on this show.
