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.
Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle would be awesome. Thanks for doing this!
Octpath Traveller pleaawse UwU
Entering for Nier:Automata. Thanks for doing this
1 entry for Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy, a large fry and a large coke, please.
How games are meant to be played. Buying the game from a store, reading the included manual while in the car, plopping down in front of the TV with a large fry and large coke.
Simpler times!
Hooray for game giveaways! Code has been claimed and thanks again!
I’d like to relive the best times of my life with the FF I - VI bundle
Dude, that’s how I feel too. Take me back to the SNES and GBC years.
I would love Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Not a bad free form at all!
Thank you years of ms paint skills at work haha
Requesting Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. 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.
@[email protected] - Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Octopath Traveler! 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!
Thanks, I got it! I’m hoping to have time to get into it over the weekend.
Here’s a bonus shot from that festival I mentioned-- definitely the best one I’ve been to. Anyone who doesn’t make it up north for Japan tourism is missing out.

Thanks for the giveaway. I’d like to enter for Hogwarts legacy.
I’ve been playing around with running AI image gen and LLM locally because the tech is cool. Pretty entertaining what you can do with it, but I haven’t posted any of what I’ve generated. Seems to be a good skill to learn as well. Was good motivation to upgrade my RAM from 16G to 32G. Tomorrow, I’m upgrading to 64G.
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!
@[email protected] - Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy! 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!
I’ve just responded, thanks loads!
@[email protected] - Woo hoo! Enjoy Tomb Raider, hope you have a blast playing them! They’re pretty great games overall and were my introduction to the Tomb Raider series! Sent you a Direct Message now!
Great thing to do for sure! I loved biking as a kid, perhaps I should take it up as an adult. I work on my car, and it’s good to just sort of zone out and do some manual work, but it is exhausting and makes you sore if you haven’t done it in a while. Working on a bike sounds less grueling and possibly more fun.
I would love working on cars, but where I live mechanical cars, as in not modern cars that have something to repair, are incredibly rare and would easily cost you tens of thousands just for the car, not including the tools. But second hand marketplaces have loads of free bikes with just minor things like flat tires. Just recently saw a 24 gear racing bike for free, with AFAIK just a flat tire.
I’d like to put a bid in for Hogwarts: Legacy please!
@[email protected] - Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Hogwarts Legacy: Deluxe Edition! 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.

Thank you, @[email protected].
Looking forward to firing it up!
@boxscape@[email protected] - Woo hoo! I’d do anything for that Dr. Evil gif!
Sending you the code privately now!
FF1-6 bundle would be awesome :)
Computers are not only witchcraft, but they’re leechcraft that would have us on all fours like a beast! Why program when we can congram?
Now excuse me while I turn off my PC and go hop on my Steam Deck and zone out for a bit.
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 wewks I got a 1988 Suzuki Samurai I’ve been messing with and working on.
I’m researching getting into 3D printing. My spouse is sort of on board, because they think about the cool things they can do with it. We’d love to print some cool stuff to solve mini problems, but also for the reward of designing and building things ourselves.
Congrats on your bike, that sounds like a really fun and cool project!
I used to want a bike and loved the idea of one. Bikes, as an adult, is something I can’t get into. I wanted to get a sportbike when I was 19 or so, but around then I met my spouse and they told me about their dad’s accident on a bike. The dad was a Navy military person, super into safety. He wore full padded armor, helmet, the works. He was stopped at a light and behind a car. Then a car rear-ended him. He ended up being propelled over the car in front of him and landed in the intersection. Broke his leg, broke a few ribs, messed up his knee, and now he has continued pain he deals with. He wouldn’t be alive if he wasn’t wearing all the proper armor while biking. And then I see bikers on the road without helmets and wearing a tee shirt and jeans LOL. They’re playing a dangerous game. So unfortunately, bikes are now no longer for me!
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
amen to that. There’s very few games coming out these days that I’m interested in, what with my massive backlog. It’s really nice to go back to the simpler times and play these games.
I’m waiting for the next sale and will pick up FF pixel remaster too just so I can play them. I played one of them on SNES, but I don’t remember it nor did I finish it. Would be good to experience the roots of where it all come from.
