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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!
