PC Master Race

I'd like to enter for God of War.

So what made me happy this year is that I finally moved out and have less interaction with my extremely toxic family. Also my GF came back from abroad and we're going to be working towards getting a place here so that we can start living together.

In any case, thanks for this OP and good luck everyone!

Game: Persona 5 Royal

The biggest thing that made me happy this year was being home for the holidays. I have a job that often sends me to remote sites for work. I was sent away in the end of 2019 for work, right before all the pandemic stuff started. Soon after that lock downs began and many travel restrictions were put in place, including ones within my own company. Basically I have been stuck very far away from my family for a very long time. The off-shore work contract finally came to an end and even though I am now technically unemployed for the time being, this was the first Christmas holiday period I have been able to spend with my family since 2018. That meant the world to me and one of the things that has made me the happiest in many years, let alone just this year. As far as hopeful, I am hopeful that this will definitely not be the last holiday season I can spend with my family and currently have no plans to leave again like that anytime soon (not that I planned it like that in the first place though anyway lol).

Merry Christmas! Spider-man remastered always looks fun but the price is killer.

I'd love to be considered for Persons 5 Royal (or Returnal), please.

One thing that made me happy this year? I became a father. It's really difficult to say whether that makes me hopeful for the future. On the contrary, it makes me kind of afraid? Like ... I maybe have another 25-30 years left to live, but my child will be the in the peak of their life at that time. And I worry about what kind of world I'll be leaving them in. Everything feels more important now than it ever did...

But anyway, on a happy note, I bought 2 games at release this year and they were both quite good (Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring) :)

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

Hogwarts legacy please, my kids would love it. Merry Christmas!

I have a new GPU coming and Returnal would be awesome to play on it.

Happy Holidays, Elden Ring.

A game that I recently played and loved was Bombrush Cyberfunk, I am a massive fan of Jet Set Radio Future and it just felt amazing to play a modern game based off of JSRF!

Happy holidays!

Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy would be my choice.

This year for the first time I tried to cook a seitan roast with crackling. Also vegan potato dumplings as well as bread dumplings and gravy. It turned out quite okay. I would just like to experiment with better spices to make the taste of the seitan roast more intense.

Really nice of you to do this, thank you. I would like to put my name in the hat for Miles morales. Best of wishes to you and yours.

Hey there,

Thats Nice of you 🥰🥰,

The best things for me, don't laugh, my life isn't cool lmao, was finishing twice cyberpunk in a month, and then my first use of stable diffusion on my arch station (BTW), I almost did an coming out too :D but this one doesn't count, because its in progress.... ✊

Im applying for Persona5, I really want to give him a go, but if someone is in need prefer this someone, I can buy it after all. That's really lovely from you. 😘

Hogwarts legacy is very cool

Returnal

There are 3 cockatiels living with me(I rescued them, not in Australia) and I had a pen with a string attached to it and was writing when two of them flew over and started fighting over the knot in the string, not an active fight just one would start chewing on the knot and then the other would pull it away and back and forth it went for a good 20 minutes.

I really enjoyed watching them passive aggressively fighting over a toy, it was cute.

Hey, I'd be really interested in Elden Ring :)

Hogwarts legacy!

Just picked up a new steam deck and would love to check it out on there

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered!

Baldur's Gate 3 is probably my game of the year, but lately I've actually been playing Fortnite with some friends and having a blast in zero build mode. The new update is great, plus you can't go wrong with some LEGO survival mode.

Thanks for doing this, you're a kind soul! Have a wonderful holiday, as well as everyone in this thread. Good luck to you all!

Hogwarts Legacy would be great!

I'll throw my name in for Elden Ring. Cheers to you for doing this OP.

My wife doesn't game much buy she is a MASSIVE Harry Potter fan. I wonder if she would play Legacy if we had it.

Thanks for doing good for people.

This is really nice. I would like Hogwarts Legacy

I would love to have God of war. This year was the first year with my first baby, and seeing her grow over the months has been a joy.

Gotta be in it to win it!

Horizon Zero Dawn would be great, never got around to playing those games.

This year has been quite the ride, I started a new job and I've really loved it. It can be a lot of work sometimes, but it's work that I enjoy, so the days sometimes just flash by which is great. As far as gaming goes, I played a lot on my Switch this year. I sunk nearly 200 hours into Tears of the Kingdom. I'm a huge Zelda fan, so I tried to milk it as long as I could before getting the credits to roll.

I would like Returnal if you would be kind.

Happy holidays everyone.

Hogwarts Legacy would be my choice.

Thank you CatZoomies and a merry Christmas!

Hogwarts legacy would be rocking!

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for Tales of Arise!

Merry Christmas and kudos for this giveaway 🎊

Horizon zero dawn please and thank you!

I finally had that moment in life where I could sit back watching TV with my family and just breathe and be grateful for everyone and everything I had. Where most of the stress of day to day was lifted and I could just.... be.

Elden Ring. I've never really played a souls game, and it looks really great.

Not a lot of joy this year, got laid off last year and now find myself in a job where I'm making less and commuting more, but there were a couple of bright spots. I've been running a D&D game set in Mythic Greece, and it's been the best TTRPG I've run or played in years - my players have been absolutely loving it. Plus, I recently spoke to a retirement advisor and found that I'm in very good shape to retire in 10 years, and that makes me very happy.

Thanks for doing this. Happy Holidays!

I've finally decided to give Cyberpunk 2077 a shot, deciding that it has had enough time in the oven, and... yup. I'm happy to have waited all these years to play something that's a finished product, runs well, looks beautiful and is engaging and fun to play. Honestly I spend half of my time in this game just walking around the city - it's the first city in a game that feels realistic, with all the street markets, food stalls, drunk people wandering the streets at 4 am...

BG3 was overall the best game I've played this year though.

I would like Persona 5 Royal, never really had a chance to get into this series but I've heard good things!

It's so cool that you're doing this, tysm! I'd love to play God of War if I end up getting rolled, it's been on my list for ages

My happy story is that 2023 was the first full calendar year I spent with my current partner and love of my life ❤️

Happy holidays!

Tales of Arise would be my choice!! I'm glad that you are doing things like this, making Lemmy and this community stronger!!!

I've always wanted to try God of War.

God of War is my choice.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game I played recently that blew me away. It’s a game that is hard to talk about without spoiling the absolute shit out of it. I don’t care for westerns and I always thought, “Ok, cowboy game. Cool. Whatever.”

It’s so much bigger than that. I could write a book about why I loved it so much, but it would spoil it. I’m begging anyone who sees this and hasn’t played it. Put it next on your list. You won’t regret it.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I wouldn't mind getting to try Marvel's Spider Man Remastered; I've a few friends that say it's good.

I've been a bit under the weather over the holidays, which has given me the opportunity to try some of the free games I've been accruing from Epic's giveaways. Art of Rally was pretty good. Nice art style, active development, and an interesting concept rooted in historical events.

God of War. FYI, don't send keys over Lemmy private message. Anybody who runs an instance that federates with yours may be able to see your private messages. Just be careful is all!

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

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.

Entering for horizon zero dawn :)

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!

Elden Ring! I choose you!

(optional story) Few days ago I bought Saints Row 2022 and I LOVE IT! The world is so interesting and beautiful, characters are nice, few bugs here and there, but the newest update makes a huge difference from the release version. I don't get the hate so many folks throw at this game. It's just not for them I guess.

Elden Ring. I've been meaning to try it out. My friends have been hounding me to play it, but I've not had a chance to play any Souls Like games so I've been hesitant to purchase. Whether I'm a winner or not, thank you for the generous giveaway! Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! So awesome you're doing this!

Been wanting to try out Elden Ring, so add me to that drawing please! And thank you!

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered would be awesome. I keep waiting for it to be 50% or more off but I have to be a patient gamer.

Thanks for doing this. Good luck to all.

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

Spiderman remastered

This year, my 6 yr old nephew got super big into Pokémon. Everytime he comes over, he shows me his Pokémon cards that he's collecting and all the new Pokémon he's caught in Let's Go Eevee. Eevee is his all time favorite Pokémon so when he leaned that was your starter in the game, he was jumping up and down with joy! Gotta love seeing the same excitement I had with Pokémon red back in the day.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I’d be interested in Horizon Zero Dawn

Happy holidays!

I'm interested in Elden Ring.

Thank you for your generosity!

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.

Things that made me happy this year? I started a new job in Jan that has been great. Company treats it's employees like people the work is enjoyable.

Thanks for doing this and happy holidays.
