No prob! The fediverse is still a nascent platform, and even PCMR is a nascent community compared to the Reddit original. Plus I guess I'm not cool enough or creative enough to make frequent posts every day like The Picard Maneuver, but I try to comment at least once every other day.
Giveaways are always fun! At least I can do that periodically lol
Now I just need to find a game you might be interested in next time. :)

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.
Not entering, just wanna applaud you for doing this. I bought the TR I-III remaster in the summer sale and I will say I am pleased with it at the sale price. It plays pretty well on Steam Deck and scratches the nostalgia itch.

Nier Automata would be my pick. It's been on my wishlist for forever, but I never remember it during sales!

This is super cool of you!
I would absolutely love the Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle, both for my own nostalgia and to introduce my wife to them. She's only played X and XIV.
To accompany my entry, have a homemade FF4 meme:

Super cool of you to do! I've definitely been curious to try Hogwarts Legacy.
Random fact I learned recently; dragonflies are statistically the most successful predatora on the planet with a 96% success rate. For comparison, a lion is about 27-34% successful while hunting.
I saw some dragonflies flying around my backyard the other day and was reminded of that fact.

NieR: Automata looks cool, I've heard it's great
I’m not entering just commenting
+1 on neir automata. Don’t look anything up about the story, Yoko Taro (I think that’s who directed the story) has one crazy mind for story telling the game is absolutely nuts
Buy the game for the big android butts and stay for… well you’ll see

I'd like to request Pony Island. Honestly I'll probably get this even if I don't win because I love games that troll me.

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 😂.

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!

Hogwarts Legacy has been on my list, but was waiting for everything to be fixed first.
My wife and I just had our second child, so not a lot of free time, but hoping to get some more gaming in once he starts going longer between feedings. Our 3 year old is a great big sister and everything is going about as well as you could hope.
Thanks for the giveaway and good luck everyone!
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.
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! Thanks for doing this. Here is a picture of my goofy dog, because I love him dearly and he is a sick boi.

So nice of you to do this! I see other comments suggesting TRI-III remastered runs well on Deck, so I would love a chance to give that a go!
I just finished Horizon: Forbidden West last week (playing the DLC now), and it left me with mixed feelings. I loved the story of the first game so much, and was so excited when FW came to PC, but it just did not hit the same way. RIP Lance Reddick, anytime Sylens was in the story it was a treat.
