Giveaway Lazaros' Raffle

[Lazaros]

Hi, hello & welcome to this super sporadic thread!

Recently, I sold my Raymond and got quite a few NMT out of it - more than I'll potentially need, as I'm pretty close to achieving an island full of dreamies.
So, instead of selling my NMT, I decided to raffle some of them away, to give back to the community!

What can you win?

50 NMT (1st winner)

25 NMT (2nd & 3rd winner)

10 NMT (4th & 5th winner)

What is the entry fee?
Sometimes, when playing a game, certain words ushered by a character just stick with us, whether we think they're cool or just hit home, sometimes they just feel right. Tell me your favorite quote from a game you played!

Please indicate:

which game it is from

which character said it

why you like it as much as you do. (optional)

Should the context for this be a potential spoiler for fellow users, I will kindly ask you to hide it in a spoiler!

When is the deadline for entering?

Saturday, 18th April, 11:59pm CEST.

When will the winners be drawn?

Sunday, 19th April, 11:00am CEST.

Winners will be posted in this thread!

Anything else?
Not really!
I wish all of you the best of luck and hope you are doing well so far, even when we are neck deep in a global pandemic.
Take care of yourself and those around you, you are doing your best after all.

My entry for the Raffle would be:

„I can't change the past.“
„Well, you can't change people's memories either. I'm not saying that it's fair, but it's real. “

It's from „The Wolf among us“ and I really like this quote, because I think that you have to be mindful of how you behave! Just because you wish for forgiveness does not mean that you have to be forgiven, your behavior affects the people around you and actions have consequences. I've seen it a lot and I like the message c:

 

[Lissly]

Wild world

Phyllis

I work in customer service

With the town hall open 24 hours a day, I see way too much of the people in this town.

 

[squidney]

Heroes never die!!

Yes cheesey, mercy from overwatch lul.

I really enjoy overwatch as I got so close to top 500 NA as a support main. Moira, mercy and ana were my main supports I played and it felt so nice being a girl doing so well in a game tbh. Too bad ow is dying rip

 

[catheyrine]

"Pick a god and pray!" -Frederick from Fire Emblem Awakening

I just think the line is cool

 

[Yazmin]

"But I know she's not there! I knew all along that she wasn't out there in the sky! Because... because... she's sleeping under the tree on the hill!" ... "Mama, you still have me!" -Rosalina and Luma from Super Mario Galaxy

This quote is told Rosalina's Storybook. I remember as a kid playing Super Mario Galaxy and listening to the story, and I was too young to really understand the depth of how beautiful it was. Now when I look back, the story paired with the music makes my eyes water because it's so touching and inspirational even though they're fictional characters. If anyone would like to listen, here it is on youtube:

^-^

 

[Lethalia]

So I have two quotes, because I think these two characters are each other's half, and what they said really showcases how much they love each other and they're just precious and tragic and I'd die for them tbh. Their bond is so meaningful and it runs so deep and there are so many themes I loved in this game and I'm gonna shut up now.

The quotes are by 2B & 9S from NieR: Automata. They will be contained underneath a spoiler, since these are both said near the end of the game.

Spoiler

"9S. The time I was able to spend with you...It was like memories of pure light. Thank You...Nines." -2B

"I‘m not quite sure what it means to mourn, or even if we have a soul to concern ourselves with. But I hope you’re at rest, 2B. Sweet dreams. I’ll be with you before long." -9S

Just how many times they've had to say goodbye, it's so OOF!!!! And no matter how many times they circle back to each other, it's like fate just rips them apart all over again and it's just a never ending cycle of pain for me :')

Thank you for hosting this raffle, and thank you for the fun prompt. It was nice getting to talk about a game other than Animal Crossing.

"bad times really are just times that are bad."
- Katrina from Animal Crossing.

I like it, because it helps me move on and not
stress the bad things that happen in life.

 

[beebs]

"Man… you guys are the best, stupidest group I could ask for."

Persona 5

 

[Airen]

“Strange how there’s always a little more innocence left to lose.” – The Outsider from Dishonored.

Loved this entire series so much. Very dark but so much fun.

 

[Bebster]

"Igniculus: Aurora, What is love known by?

Aurora: When it hurts to say goodbye."

-Child of Light

i think it speaks for itself

 

[Voldecourt]

"Despite everything, it's still you"

From Undertale, said by the 'narrator' text boxes, who some believe to be the first fallen child but is never explicitly named. This quote just kinda hit me hard at the time, and it has a good takeaway to real life. That despite hardships and how things change, and how you can change even, you will always remain yourself, despite everything.

Thanks for doing this raffle! It's very generous and kind of you!

 

[~Kilza~]

There are a lot of quotes I could use, but the one I have to go with is:

"Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit." - Vyse, Skies of Arcadia

Skies of Arcadia is such an amazing game, that is filled with a bunch of hope and optimism like this. It's just one of those quotes that sticks with me, as a reminder to never give up hope, to always keep trying and always keep pushing forward, no matter how bleak the situation might seem.

 

[crepuscularrr]

"You're not a nice person, are you?"
- Rasmus, Hotline Miami

Alright, this one needs a bit of context. Spoilers for Hotline Miami and content warning for non-graphic mentions of violence!

Spoiler

In Hotline Miami, you play as a nameless character who joins an American nationalist group known as 50 Blessings whose goal is to eliminate the Russian mafia's presence in America through semi-organized violent attacks on their members; which is also the goal of each level you play through in the game, in which you end up gruesomely murdering a couple dozen mobsters per level. After the first few levels of the game, in a surreal, dreamlike sequence the main character walks into a room in which three masked figures, stand-ins for different aspects of his own psyche (their names being Rasmus, Don Juan, and Richard, whom you can think of as sortakinda the superego, id, and ego respectively), judge and evaluate him based on his actions thus far, and that's where this quote comes from. Hotline Miami is often praised for its fantastic aesthetics, soundtrack, and gameplay, but a lot of people tend to overlook the depth of the writing and story elements. In this little rant I grossly oversimplified a lot of stuff, but what makes me love this quote so much is how it forces you to question the violence the game allows you to not only take part in, but actively enjoy taking part in, which is something that most violent games don't examine. It's just a tiny snippet of some of the really excellent writing this game has to offer, and a tiny example of why i love this game so much and why its stuck with me like it has.

Thanks for bearing with me through that, and also for hosting this giveaway altogether! It's very kind of you!

 

[Lazaros]

thank you for your interest so far, everyone!
to be honest, there's some quotes from games i actually played and never got to finish/got far in in this thread already, and some of them just make me sad. and then there are games that i actually never have played at all, and your quotes just make me want to real bad.

i might as well share one i like with all of you:
"Your fetish for power is simply barbaric. Where's the joy? The love? Your perfect world is as dull as dirt." - Leon, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

and with that, i've updated the list of participants.
take care everyone!​

“Pick a god and pray.” - Frederick, Fire Emblem Awakening

it will always have me rolling lmao

 

[Jas]

"remember when i dressed up as santa to give you your toy day presents? i always got a kick out of seeing you smile" - dad

from one of the december letters in animal crossing new leaf! super wholesome. this one always made me so happy because my dad used to dress up as santa when i was little and it was a DELIGHT. he still does it now for my cousins' kids but i'm 20 now and it's really cute to see them react the same way i used to :')

 

[DariaKND]

"Dont cry about dreams that don't come true today. Sometimes you need to try another way!"

Kappn from animal crossing new leaf : ( ♡♡

 

[Raayzx]

"Paying attention is what kept me alive through the years. That, and my good looks of course." — Ace Visconti from dead by daylight.

Of course the good looks save your lives lol

 

[Kamin]

"You must be so exhausted." Hinawa from Mother 3
Mother 3 is my favorite game of all time and the only game that gave me legit feels for the characters.
