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.

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 months ago

An entry for Octopath Traveller here 🙌

Here's a picture of my cat, the best thing that's happened to me in a while.

Entry for Nier Automata :)

Here's a meme for ya

[-] clothes@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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.

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!

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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

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!

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!

Hi, really love your positive vibes <3

Something cool that happened to me this year? I would say meeting my LDR partner after not seeing him for almost a full year!!! The best thing is, the LDR part was so painless because I just fully trust him and his commitment to the relationship.

I have some hydrohomies and/or dad jokes memes saved but this one just absolutely got me.

<you won't regret this "NSFW" meme, i guarantee>

I'm interested in Strange Horticulture because it is in my wishlist for awhile! :D

Edit: Changed the game I picked and remove any mention of previous game. 👍

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

LMAO now this is a stupid meme right here! I absolutely giggled at this one. Thank you so much for this meme! I'm work from home, but if I was in office I'd really want to try this on someone!

Congrats on meeting your LDR partner!! That's wonderful and I wish you the best of luck and success in that relationship!

I've intentionally avoided FF7 remake spoilers, having played that game as a kid. I was fortunate because while I had a struggling parent and certainly couldn't afford one, we were able to get our hands on one at a flea market I think when the PS2 launched. The seller wasn't sure what they had, so we got it at a really good price.

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 😂.

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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!

Requesting the I-VI bundle, hoping for the best!

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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?

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!

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That sounds extremely challenging! Good luck, I heard Octopath was a gem, and probably a good way to feel out if turn-based is for you.

Hmm now that I think about it, my first turn-based RPG was Pokemon Blue when I was a kid.

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 weeks I got a 1988 Suzuki Samurai I've been messing with and working on.

I would love octopath traveler, I played the demo when it came out but never got a chance to play more!

[-] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Tomb raider definitive survivor trilogy looks cool! I somehow never played any tomb raider games, but i did hear good things about them. I've been really enjoying the "self aware lara croft plays tomb raider" it's a really fun series about an AI lara croft playing and making in character comments about what's going on. It's pretty cool.

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. :)

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.
