Hi, I'm a gay cis male from Europe. I've been alive 30+ years and I still don't know how to live Life.

Open source social networks aren't new to me — I used identi.ca 15 years ago and I currently #selfhost two ActivityPub instances but they are too niche, so I was hoping this one would be more personal.

I have contributed to ~20 #FOSS projects even though I'm mostly a #macOS user.

I also happen to be a #gaymer who doesn't know how to game. #Sonic (Master System), #DonkeyKongCountry (GB), #SuperMarioAdvance (GBA), #StardewValley, #Rayman, #EuroTruckSimulator2, #HiddenFolks…

#SarahAndersen's scribbles and #FoxesInLove is as much as I read and I haven't got much time for films/TV.

I enjoy #swimming, #cycling (pro-cycling and anti-car), I admire #ModelRailway (N gauge), and I love chocolate.

I was tested for Autism as a kid and came out negative; I still suck at being social but I'm trying my hardest. Sorry if I offend you. Also, it doesn't help the fact that English isn't my mother tongue.

@thiccpaws Hello Thiccpaws,
You have a creative FOSS, swimming, and cycling hobby. I'm pretty sure you're a game master with the games you listed. It takes incremental steps to improve; there's no need to rush it. Keep being yourself and be amazing! If you don't mind me asking, what language would you prefer to speak? I hope to be either an acquaintance or a friend.

@wolffoxkatana no, no — I am the worst. I cheat just so that I don’t die. How sad is that? OpenEmu’s rewind feature is the best that has happened to me. You draw very cute characters, btw (without neglecting alt text!). Have you ever played Night in the woods? They remind me of Mae & co. Oh and I already struggle with English, I don’t feel like my brain could handle much more

@thiccpaws I don't see a problem with cheating in an offline game; online is a different story. Whatever makes you enjoy the game, I don't see that as sad. As long as you're enjoying it, that's what really matters, right? Thank you for the kind words, Thiccpaws. I'm always looking to improve my artistic skills. I have played Night in the Woods. And you know what? Gregg rulez, ok!

That was a good game, even though I only played through it once.
