the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the "how was your week" thread isn't a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples' posts aren't getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don't gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this'll be a good way of getting to know all the people you're now on here with

I went from Slashdot to Fark to Digg to Reddit. Already found the Fediverse as @baronvonj@mastodon.online after recent changes over on Twitter.

As my user bio says I dabble in guitar and watch rugby (US MLR, go SaberCats) and hockey (NHL). For reading it's mostly fantasy, with The Witcher and Discworld being my most recent books, but I also enjoy scifi. I tend to be more visual (ie TV and movies) due to ADHD though. Video games with a strong narrative are great. Games like the Horizon series (Zero Dawn, Forbidden West), Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, Witcher, and Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Another ex-slashdotter reporting in! Have a 5-digit slashdot user id. And just celebrated 14 years on reddit. Well - I've moved before, I can move again. The fediverse seems pretty cool so far. Happy to be here. :-)

I thought I might have been 4 digit, but I just checked and it's in the 61k range. Apparently ye olde /. is on mastodon now, @slashdot@mastodon.cloud.

So close. I'm 51114. :-)

If you consider BotW as having a strong narrative, you will very much enjoy TotK.

[–] baronvonj 5 points 2 years ago

My son bought TotK, but I haven't finished Horizon Call of the Mountain or Assassin's Creed Odyssey yet. And now there's Horizon Burning Shores, God of War Ragnarök to catch up on too!
