Hi! Hello! So this is my introduction!
I’m a kind of person that comes around and goes around in real life, always trying new things.
But what I actually want to talk about is what types of games I play: basically I enjoyed playing games that have mature themes, those being: Dark Souls (finished all three mainline), Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 1, Fallout New Vegas, etc.
My recent surprise game-that-I-loved was Disco Elysium!
Besides that, I also played a lot of DnD. Played a lot of 5e campaigns before my group was disbanded. I’ll not say what actually happened, but… well, from my experience in tabletop games, I’ve both seen and heard things (some sadly directed at myself) that would make both a Beholder blush in embarrassment and a Cambion BBEG stop to ask you “Dude, are you okay?”.
Yeah, I’m one of several DnD veterans who witnessed in person the worse that some players would become at RP (my favorite excuse for their behavior being “iT’S wHAT mY cHARACTER wOULD dO!”).
But that’s fine, since thankfully I was raised to be a very level-headed person that respects the boundaries of others. Now on another note you might be asking, with my experience in DnD and video games, if I played Baldur’s’ Gate 3! And sadly no! My PC can’t run DirectX 12 games (I learned it the hard way when Marvel Rivals launched and I could not join the hype train at launch
), and while BG3 is DirectX 11 so my PC COULD run it, I can already see it turning into a power point that would risk exploding my ancient PC, so I’ll just have to wait patiently until I finally get new specs to play BG3.
Now on Fire Emblem: I played both FE7 and FE8 when I was young, then growing up got a Switch to play Three Houses (as I enjoyed the more mature theme that it has). Sadly I had to sell both the games and the GBA/Switch for financial support (one of several steps for me to ultimately move away from Europe to settle down in the Americas to find a new job), but I gotta say I also watched a full LP of Genealogy and really enjoyed the story, so there’s my ‘4th’ FE experienced.
With all that being said, don’t worry about me, my condition is now stable where I live (naturally I’ll not disclose anything else, being anonymous for my own safety and all that) and I’m enjoying playing games on PC, and now hopefully I have fun in here. Currently messing around in FEBuilderGBA and let’s see what I can cook up in the future.
If you survived the wall of text I wrote above, wish you the best and stay awesome!
