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.

I think I'm most interested in crisis core. I love ff7 and remember crisis core on the PSP. Good times. Good luck to everyone and thanks OP!

[-] Itrytoblenderrender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrate would spark my interest.

[-] Miphera@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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!

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Miphera@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Octopath traveler looks fun

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

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.

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.

Final fantasy pixel remasters!

I just recently watched Poker Face, and it was amazing. I also happened to watch 6 seasons of Columbo in the past year, and Poker Face is Rian Johnson's (Knives Out) tribute to that show. If you were ever a fan, you should check it out.

[-] LovableBastard@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.
