All winners have claimed the games! Congrats again to all the winners, and thanks everyone for participating!
If you didn't win, look out for another giveaway I'll host in the future. Most likely in Winter 2024. I'll try to get us other games besides Action/RPGs lol. :D

I will make a separate post in !GiftOfGaming@Lemmy.World. I will do this next week so I can rest and recover from my cold.

Only one last key remaining, pending a response from the winner:
- Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy - 1 key remaining - Winner: Pending

Update Sep 20:
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.
New winners have been selected for the final three games:

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!

EDIT Sep 21: All games were claimed!
There’s still a list of leftover keys that an anonymous Lemmy user donated to me. I’ll make a separate post on !GiftOfGaming@lemmy.world either next week or the week after, just so I can take some rest and recover from my cold.
Thanks again everyone for participating! Look out for a future big giveaway I’ll host, most likely in Winter 2024. Stay safe, and as always: remember to be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself - you’d be surprised what a difference you can make for yourself and others in your local community by being kind.
Also here’s the cute cat meme I made. I just like cats.
I already own the games that I’m interested in, so no entry here, just wanted to say thanks for putting on this giveaway two years in a row and making the fediverse feel a little more fun.
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. :)
Plus I guess I’m not cool enough or creative enough to make frequent posts every day like The Picard Maneuver
It is quite impressive and, honestly, frightening how one user can be the source of so much of the content here. I don’t think anyone can reasonably set such standards for themselves.
I’m more than happy to continue cheering giveaways from the sidelines. I’m not rich by any means, but I’m lucky enough to be able to get myself a game if I really want it; save em for someone who might not be able to!
yeah exactly dude, that’s my sentiment and why i’m doing it. While it’s not critical for us to have explosive daily posts in the Fediverse, I just really hope one day we’ll be able to get more people commenting. It’ll be cool to have good conversations here.
I think these days people are just so used to browsing on a phone, upvoting, and moving on. I miss web 1.0 and Forums. I guess that’s why I’ve stuck around with Lemmy since the Reddit API Exodus.
I’m not entering, just seeing what’s going on.
Jinkies! I didn’t expect it!
Entering for Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy
@Googlyman64@lemmy.world - Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy! You will have 48 hours to acknowledge me before I send you the code. Please respond to my Direct Message. If you do not respond back to me in 48 hours, your entry will be forfeited and I will redraw for the another winner.
If you do win and claim the game key, for transparency purposes please respond back to my comment letting everyone know you were successful - but only if you want to. Hope to hear back from you!
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.
That’s exactly how I plan to play it, too! Nothing like kicking back on a couch or equivalent and playing on steam deck!
Nier Automata would be my pick. It’s been on my wishlist for forever, but I never remember it during sales!
I had a McRib probably 10+ years ago… it was okay. They probably needed Lead Paint instead to add that extra metallicky flavor I was looking for.
Here’s The Simpsons version of what is in a hot dog: https://media.tenor.co/images/eda635dcf9e310202c4649e1ad516e09/raw
They’re very sweet, from what I recall. I much prefer a nice BBQ sauce over some Kirkland (Costco) pulled pork, if I’m going the pre-made/easy route.
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:
@Apeman42@lemmy.world - Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle (Pixel Remasters)! You will have 48 hours to acknowledge me before I send you the code. Please respond to my Direct Message. If you do not respond back to me in 48 hours, your entry will be forfeited and I will redraw for the another winner.
If you do win and claim the game key, for transparency purposes please respond back to my comment letting everyone know you were successful - but only if you want to. Hope to hear back from you!
A winner is… me?! This is incredible!
Installing FF5 now because I love the early iteration of switchable classes, then I’ll loop back around and play them in order. So I guess I have the next 300-400 hours planned.
Thank you again CatZoomies, you’re my hero.
I would love if possible to get the code for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.
It’s verified to work with my Steam Deck.
Hee Hee Intensifies
@Xatolos@reddthat.com - Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade! You will have 48 hours to acknowledge me before I send you the code.

Thank you so much for this. I got the code and game. You are so amazing for doing this.
LOL at the Hee Hee GIF. Happy to help and really hope you enjoy it! Take care!

I would like to take my chances to win the FF I-VI collection. Should keep me entertained for a couple of hundreds of hours 😅
Ready for a pro gamer move?
The trick is to cut only a little bit into your sleep, and then significantly cut into work.
Thanks for the tip!
Hey! Thank you very much for doing this, personally id nier automauta
or hogwarts legacy.Also here is a relevant meme:
Oh, and also i just 100%ed another crab’s treasure, its an excellent soulslike that shell leave you wanting more! (sorry)
I mean that poster in the screenshot is right to be honest. Less work more game
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.
That’s a cool fact, I had no idea nor did I think about dragonflies as predators!
forgive the crudely made meme, I whipped it up while I’m at work:
@meatwads_tooth@sh.itjust.works , Congratulations! You’ve been selected as the winner of Hogwarts Legacy: Deluxe Edition! You will have 48 hours to acknowledge me before I send you the code. Please respond to my Direct Message. If you do not respond back to me in 48 hours, your entry will be forfeited and I will redraw for the another winner.

Hurray! Thanks a ton!
My pleasure dude! I sent you a message with the key, go ahead and redeem it! Thank you so much for entering!!
That’s a nice giveaway selection. I have them already so I’ll leave this post only for appreciation. Thanks!
Chiming in here to not mess with top level comments. Thanks OP, you’re awesome.
Awesome initiative! I wouldn’t mind entering for a copy of Hogwarts Legacy myself.

I’ve heard good things about final fantasy VII so i definitely wouldn’t mind that. Also look at pretty little greg
After a while, Gregodile.
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.
Olay, this had me chuckle. It’s both a cute and dumb meme. I love this one!
Best of luck to you!
@Aviandelight@mander.xyz - Congratulations! Since you’re the only one who entered for Pony Island, you’re the winner! I’ve sent you a Direct Message containing the key! If you would like for transparency purposes, please reply to my comment here and let everyone know you successfully claimed it. Thanks for entering and happy you won!
