Title: Hello there!
Post by: Alicia on June 12, 2023, 08:27:01 PM
Hi,

I'm Alicia, and I have a few friends already on the site!

Finally decided to actually join due to the Reddit blackout - and realising that my prefered 'Reddit competitor' would be an old-styley web forum, and I happened to know of one which touches on various topics of interest (mostly gaming, some history).

Welcome welcome! Lovely to see you here :) Shout if there's anything we can help with, don't feel afraid to just post stuff, we're very un strict about putting things in the right subforum or whatever. Hope you enjoy getting to know the place!

Mostly puzzle games (actually just regular abstract puzzles but they're digital so they count as games!), some JRPGs with the turn-based combat. I'm looking forward to the Four Job Fiesta for Final Fantasy V. Oh, also: Trombone Champ. (I was further into Blaseball when it was briefly a thing, may it Rest in Violence)

I played a lot of tabletop games - particularly board and roleplaying - at uni (I met Jubal through first running the weekly friday board games - and I think I recognise your picture as someone I met through him! - and was even chair of the Tabletop Gaming Society), but since moving back to Leicester not so much!

I've certainly kept up with reading rulebooks for games I will never play/GM (not that I was a particularly good GM), though!

In the digital/analogue crossover space, I go through phases of playing a lot of Magic the Gathering Arena, though I'm on a bit of a downward phase there. Likewise I did a big spate of playing Chess, losing a few rating points, and then falling out of the habit.

(work is particularly busy at this time of year, though, which never helps!)

More broadly: thanks for all the 'welcome' replies! (it feels vaguely like the culture here would be to doublepost rather than edit, apologies if I'm wrong)

I'd say if pushed for a guideline that the culture tends to be edits for additions that are close in time/on the same topic, doubleposts when it's introducing a new thing later (so e.g. a new politick has happened and you were the last person to post in the relevant politick thread four weeks earlier). But basically there's no hard and fast rule, and as long as however people choose to do it is sensible and doesn't clog things up too much then I don't think we're very bothered wither way :)

He's lying, you should be terrified. You should probably run far far away
