^ that's me ^

I'm a man on a mission to see how much time spent playing video games is "too much", and how subtlety I can make a bad joke without people noticing.

The usual stuff:
he/him
Cis man
Pansexual
"Leftist"

I like:
Bideo bames
Astronomy
Memes
New friends
Philosophy
Music
Politics
etc.

@itzyg no, that's getting pretty romantic tbh. You should do at least 6 so it becomes a normal, casual thing.

Filling my head with fictional space politics so I have no room for real politics. I made a pirate empire and they're hilarious and make me happy.

#stellaris

Just got whiplash from an add for a shirt brand called untuckit because for a moment I didn't know what it was for and my first thought was "okay girl damn live your truth wait why is this on my tv"
Me playing as a genocidal empire in #stellaris after threatening every empire I meet with annihilation

So it turns out the rest of the galactic community was building an army to kill me and I lost. Oh well, time for something new.

I've gotta thing bigger this time, more evil, be a larger threat. I think I'm going with terravores, dead set on consuming all matter in the galaxy. That's a much larger threat; a swarm of rocks with mouths consuming the mountains and the earth, down to the core until there's nothing left.

Sounds like a blast 😃

Been on a huge stellaris kick recently. The most fun game that I'm very bad at, but I'm kinda killing it right now with my robot empire dead set on ending all life in the galaxy (determined exterminator). Right now I'm working on upping my unity so I can BE the final boss instead of fighting one (leaning towards galactic nemesis but might go with cosmogenesis idk).

Huge fun. Great distraction.

@itzyg @jepyang software was pretty easy for me to pick up. I got Cakewalk by Bandlab, and a few youtube tutorials later bam I had some original music in my hard drive. Not a bad route to take if you're (like me and) too impatient to learn an instrument.
I started playing #starlink a few days ago and it's actually pretty good. It does the whole space sim song and dance but in a way that feels more like a video game than a very pretty spreadsheet. It's on a smaller scale so it's more rewarding to explore. The characters are fine, but I'm pretending this is a starfox game so I don't really care. A little annoyed at the toy spaceship gimmick since I'll have to find new weapons on ebay or something. But I'm enjoying it.
@itzyg I mean it could, but it would be a lot creepier imo

I don't know how I missed it but I recently hit a milestone on my bike. I've rode it 1000 miles in a little over a year. It's honestly a little emotional thinking back, not knowing if I made the right decision investing in an e-bike. Especially after getting hit by a car on my old bike, I wasn't sure if I'd commit to it or if it would just turn into another interest collecting dust.

But after riding through every season, weather event, and time of day, I'm proud I made it this far.
