I suppose I should make a thread here before heading to bed on my first day here, lol

 

To make a long sob-story short, I started university last fall and thought I had a really good group of friends, but was summarily ejected from said group with no regrets on their part. So since then I've been drifting in a weird, social grey-space and am now trying to find someplace to fit in.

 

I used to be really into video games, but those have sort of faded from my life. I've been casually interested in anime since 2012, and have really enjoyed the convention community, so I'm trying to fill the void, so to speak. Other than that, I'm trying to improve my painting and drawing skills as well.

 

As far as real life is concerned, I work just enough to satiate my hobbies and spend the rest of my time either in class or doing the copious amounts of reading and writing required of a Philosophy Major.

 

So, yeah, the forum seems really friendly so far, so I look forward to my interactions with you all,

Hello and welcome to the forums, @Purple Baroness! Hey, don't feel bad. I know what you mean on a lot of that. I'm kind of a loner/introvert, and it sounds like you're maybe one too. You're not the only one, I don't have many friends either, but it's alright. Nobody's perfect, and no one has the perfect life. You just have to try your best, though. ^_^ Anyway, what kind of games did you used to play? Oh, and what's your favorite anime(s)? My favorite is Sailor Moon. This forum seems really nice so far, so I hope you have a great time here. See you around. :)

Thank you alll! I really appreciate the kind words. I can see you're all very friendly, so maybe it won't be so hard. ^_^

 

As far as favorite anime goes, ChibiChan12, it was Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) for quite a few years, but I started One Piece about two and a half months ago and have absolutely fallen in love with the show. I'm currently on episode 158. I've never taken the time to sit down and really watch Sailor Moon, but every time I do watch some is really enjoyable. Most people seem to have a lot of the same problems with Sailor Moon that they have with One Piece, that it's too long and has too much filler. I'm more interested in the journey and the messages the shows impart than the conclusion, though.

 

And for video games, to those who are interested, I still do play them, just not religiously like I used to. I really like RPGs, both Japanese (e.g. Final Fantasy) and Western (e.g. The Elder Scrolls), but I'm probably best at action-based games, specifically those in third person. My favorite series in Metal Gear, hands down, though its been absolutely trashed since Kojima left Konami. My greatest achievement, I'd say, was beating the Last of Us on the PS4 with grounded mode on and with the HUD turned off (this being the first time I'd even laid eyes on the game). I'm getting more into tabletop gaming as a result of my waning digital interest, though, so there are lots of roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder in my life, as well as wargames like Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar (which is where all of my time painting goes to).

 

Feel free to send me a private message if any of you have any more questions or want to talk about anything I mentioned! :D

You're welcome, we're glad we could help. :) Yeah, I'm sure you'll have a great time here.

 

I see, yeah, I used to kind of like Black Butler for awhile, but not as much lately. People have recommended that I try One Piece, but unfortunately I haven't gotten around to it yet. It must be good, though. ^^ I understand that, and yes, the original Sailor Moon is kind of hard to watch sometimes because it has a lot of filler episodes and it's hard to grasp and understand it even after watching more than a few episodes. However, once I understood it I really liked the story it had and the characters and now I enjoy it. And I agree, I like the smaller stuff in stories as much as the basic plot and stuff. Also, the remake of the original show, Sailor Moon Crystal, might be easier to watch since it doesn't have as much filler and is more straight forward to me, so you might like that one more. :)

 

I completely understand the thing about the video games. I don't play them as much as I used to either. ^.^ I like RPGs too, my favorite probably being the Fire Emblem series, but mostly the games before FE: Fates or Awakening. I'm sure Metal Gear is good, and I've always wanted to play a game in the franchise, but I haven't yet. :S And that's a pretty good achievement! There's probably a lot of achievements I have, but I can't think of the number one achievement. Maybe it's beating the Black Knight in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance on the GameCube without the castle falling and crushing him, like what was supposed to happen (but there's a way to defeat him before it happens that's supposed to be hard to do, basically). That's cool, I've thought about getting into more PC games, but the only ones that I've really played are the Age of Empires games, which Microsoft stopped making about ten years ago. :'(

 

Anyway, thanks for answering and telling me a little about you, and I hope you enjoy your time here! And I'll let you know if I want to talk to you in the PMs. :D Thanks again!

No problem! Let me know if you have any more questions!

 

(Actually, Microsoft released a new expansion for Age of Empires II last year digital only.)

 

Yup, I sure will! :)

 

Really? I knew of the expansion, but I didn't know Microsoft put it out themselves. :largegasp: I did know it was Steam though, and I've never used them before or really much digital stuff. Thanks for telling me, I'll have to look into this more. :o
