I'm not wanting to enter the giveaway but just wanted to say what a lovely thing to do for the community.

Happy Holidays everyone

Spider-Man Remastered, thank you!

Entering for Marvel's Spider-man: Miles Morales.

I recently got back into Elite: Dangerous. It's an mmorpg where you're first person flying a spaceship, it's pretty realistic too physics wise except for a top speed in space. But without it, there would be no dogfights. So instead of getting into risking my hard earned virtual money refreshing my skills I decided to risk someone else (significantly less) money by joining a strangers crew. We went bounty hunting for space pirates, the dude was very friendly and all went well. I would launch from a tiny ship stored on board of his larger ship and give him fire suppoty. It was great until some npc rammed me, and I started spinning, rapidly, along two axis at once. Oh did I mention I was playing in vr? Unpleasant was an understatement.

So I've now bought a gigantic passenger ship, painted it chromatic blue and called it the vengabus. I listen to audio books while piloting it. It's very relaxing. Definitely better than becoming increasingly dizzy from the faster ships in the game.

Persona 5 Royal.

Got a new job this year! Will start next year and I'll have some time off in between so I can visit my family.

Sick idea! Elden Ring would be sick, have really wanted to try it on my Steam Deck

This year I graduated from my undergrad. No good job yet or anything but, it's feels like a new section of my life for now, hopefully my first full year out of school will be a good one :)

Thanks for the new years treat!

Returnal.

What a cool thing, thanks for doing this.

As a fan of titles like Hades and Control, Returnal's unique mix of gameplay elements is right up my alley. My budget has been maxxed lately so I've just been replaying the stuff in my steam library.

Happy everything to everyone!

Persona 5! Thanks for opportunity!

I'm really only interested in GoW so I can give it to my brother. He's a dad of 2 and needs some quality games in his backlog.

Marvel's spiderman remastered would be freakin awesome! Thanks for the chance

Eden Ring.

My son (first child) was born last December, so I got to spend all year watching him grow and turn in to a little human.

Heyyy, happy holidays! I'm interested in Elden Ring :)

I don't have many hopeful stories this time around, but I hope next year will be a good one in spite of it all.

Good luck everyone!

Elden Ring. For the story, I remember those days that you stay up with your friends doing a full run! Not much time to do that these days, but the nostalgia always kicks in this time of year. :

i'd like to play elden ring

I absloutely bloody love to try Elden ring/spoderman sign me up woooo

I've always wanted to try out Elden Ring but have been holding off on it to work through my backlog. Just finished Bully for the first time and I gotta say it was one of the best open world games Rockstar has made despite the PC jank. Everything about it was just so charming it's hard to believe conservatives lost their shit to this game just for the title of the game.

I’ve kind of had my eye on Returnal for a while! I’m afraid it might kick my butt, though. Thanks for the giveaway!

I'd love elden ring.

Thanks for doing this!

The game "spider man remastered" looks interesting, never tried anything like it!

I’ve been making posts like crazy to fill the fediverse Critical Role group with content and have had an unexpected amount of fun with screenshots and labeling pop culture references over the holidays so far. The big group that has been doing it, CritRoleStats, is shuttering updates, and it’s kinda inspired me to do this. People whose grasp of American English and slang is limited, or those with disabilities are the main groups I have found to be helping and that’s pretty cool.

Thanks for doing this, btw. My top 5, in order: Tales of Arise, Persona 5, Elden Ring, Hogwarts, God of War.

Cheers,
Gramps

How about Elden Ring.

Fun thing for me this holiday was solving a puzzle for another Lemmy user. Figured out the movie they couldn't recall for years was New Friends, 1981, and they are able to share that and the online video of it I found with their sisters for the holidays. Bonus points, there's was a monetary reward that's now going to charity. Was very entertaining.

Either spiderman game would be pretty fun on deck so I pick the first one, it's not like I got a lack of games though lol. Just about to start playing most of the GTA games.

I'd love to try 5. the spiderman game!

Joyous Holidays and I hope y’all have a happy new year!

Thanks again for doing this giveaway it’s always a hoot.

I’d like to throw my hat in for Miles Morales if I could. I really like the Spider-Man series even if my graphics card hates me for playing it.

And for my Happy Thought: If you’re one of the people who still hasn’t seen the new Spider-Verse movie, oh you’re gonna have a great time watching it.

Thank everybody

Entering for Elden Ring

this, my last year of college, I've made several new relationships because of dark souls. Recently, because of this group, got a girlfriend, and I would love to gift her with the game!

Congrats to the winners and Merry Christmas!

Entering for persona 5 royal 😁

Hmm this year I played a lot of slay the spire never played a card game before but this one is so accessible but rewardingly difficult too

I'll enter for God of War, I watched a few YouTube videos of it with my son and it looked fun and a good story. Thanks for this idea, it's fun. Good luck to everyone.

Something that made me happy this year: my son tested into advanced math placement at school and I still can't get over how amazed I am with the poor genes I passed in to him. Couldn't be more proud as it was something he wanted and of his own choosing spent extra time practicing math. Don't know how I lucked out, but he's pretty impressive to me

Would be pretty happy with Persona 5 Royal. I played it on ps4 back before I had a good PC but I never got far because playing on console is very inconvenient for me!

As for something that made me very happy recently, they finally announced the next monster hunter game, my favourite game series of all time! AND it's finally a pc release on launch! I'm definitely upgrading my computer when that one comes around! Also I passed all my college courses that I was really worried about failing, but you know, priorities.

It would be so cool to win a Spiderman game or that Hogwarts game!

Something that made me happy this year? We got a new dog after our last dog got sick and died right before Christmas. The most curious part? The death day and birth day are the same somehow

Returnal

Considering BG3 is not on this list, you should absolutely consider giving it a playthrough. I've never played a crpg I liked, and my wife had never played one at all, and now we're on our 4th playthrough. It is a legitimate masterpiece and the hype is well-deserved

Hey there, I'd really like to play God of War! Never really got a chance to play it. Happy holidays everyone!

Very cool of you to do this! I would love to check out Uncharted, I've never played it.

My happy/hopeful story is that the company I work for is looking pretty good for next year and this year was already pretty good. So I'm looking forward to the new year!

A friend recently recommended the Persona series, so I think I'm gonna have to go with Persona 5 Royal.

Something that made me happy this year (and gaming related) is that we finally got a remote Dungeons and Dragons group going with that friend, our significant others, and our mutual friend group. After a little hemming and hawing over how to set it up, we went with Foundry Virtual Tabletop (which we find suits our needs). It's good to be DMing for these friends and new faces again!

For a game recommendation/story, our tabletop group had been bandying around throwing in some one shots to try out some different systems and Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader came up.

I'm pretty excited to test it out and recently found that Owlcat released a Rogue Trader crpg. I've been pretty busy near the end of the calendar year, so jumping into some science fantasy lore to share with my girlfriend has been great. I'll have to talk with the guy GMing that one shot about the similarities between the crpg and the tabletop system, but we're already brainstorming characters for the one shot and beyond (if we like it).

Hope this reply finds you all cozy and enjoying the season. This giveaway is a really cool idea and good luck everyone!

God of war, please

Merry Christmas OP! I'll pick Persona 5 Royal

Here's what made me happy this year:

• I got married!
• I landed my first job as a programmer (and got promoted a month after)

Happy holidays everyone

Elden Ring, please.

This is fun! I'm in for Hogwarts Legacy! Happy holidays to all y'all filthy animals!

I already own/played most of these. A very kind action on your part!

I will go for the uncharted games as I fear the Elden* ring is beyond my gaming capabilities :').

I've recently been playing Jedi survivor. While I feel my pc isn't entirely up to the task anymore, streaming it downstairs through the steam deck really makes it more enjoyable to play!

Best of luck to everyone! May the odds ever be in your favor! Have a great Christmas/new years/2024.

Shout-out to the person doing the giveaway! It's a very generous year end gift to do for strangers.

Elden Ring

I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring for Elden Ring! My favorite game I've played this year is gonna have to be God of War. Getting a chance to revisit a matured and wise version of Kratos, after having experienced how he used to be when I played the original games on PS2 was great.

Elden Ring

I'd throw in for Persona 5

I'm happy that after a really lame start to the year (getting canned from my long time job and bouncing from job to job for a couple months) I finally got settled making way more money that lets me be home every night & weekend with my wife, and practice music with some good friends

Entering for horizon zero dawn :)

Always fancied elden ring but my inability to git gud has held me back.

I wouldn't mind Persona 5. Happy holidays.

Hi, thanks for doing this! I'd love God of War 😁

I've sunk almost 500 hours in to baldurs gate 3 since it's release. Despite that, my favorite game I've played this year is probably going to be Tony Hawks Underground. I recently got hit with the nostalgia wave and have been playing THUG 1 and 2 which were major foundations of my childhood; the soundtracks are unbeatable ("Deadly Sinners" on the same playlist as "Burning Ring of Fire"? Who makes games like this anymore?) and the story and characters are the perfect level of bad.

I'd love a chance at winning Hogwarts Legacy. Thanks for doing this generous giveway.

Put me in for Elden Ring!

A game I've been playing recently is Bread & Fred. It has put the pure fun factor back in games for me. No competitiveness, no completionist motivation, just pure fun.

hey thanks for doing this! I'm interested in god of war. I've been meaning to play it for a while but I haven't had the cash to buy it 😭

I'd love to get Miles Morales! I started playing the first one this year and my son (who adores Spider-Man) would regularly sit and cuddle with me on my lap while I played it. Easily my favorite experience from the year.

God of War would be a great one to have! I've only played the one version on PSP like 10/12 years ago and loved it! Thanks
