Reasons I love #games (strategy games and getting old) 

@absolutus
Oh, feel the pain. I guess you are in your 30s as well and getting kinda too slow for fast RTS and shooters?
I certainly have that problem. The big 4 is approaching and it's no joke. That's part of the reason I loved Machwarrior Online so much, it's very slow paced and tactical decisions are at least as important as shooting and much more important than reacting in lighting speed.
I literally can't play RTS like Starcraft because I am too slow.
Supreme Commander (not the second one) is rather good but old.

strategy wise I play grand strategy games from Paradox (the swedes) like Europa Universalis 4, Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris
Completely pausable, complex to a fault and the learning curve is rediculous.
Strategy games are my thing. I just love to ponder upon a problem for twenty minutes.
And yeap, I am a 38 year old complete Paradox fanboy and I am not sorry for that :D

Reasons I love #games 

A little add on:
I later met an awesome woman in MWO.
Women have a difficult time when in online games so she never was on open coms.

She was and is one of the best mech pilots I ever met. She is one of the top drop commanders I ever worked with.
Why am I saying this? Because while the MWO community is ok, good even, it still has problems with catcalling and shit behaviour towards women, and that has to stop. They just want to play the frigging game. I want to play that frigging game.
Why do I love that woman? Because she is nice.
Thanks for listening. Game on <3

Reasons I love #games 

For everyone there is at least one game they would enjoy.
I play grand strategy games for one and a half decade, played shooters in the 90s love indie games with neat mechanics, cool artwork or just nice ideas.
I played Mechwarrior Online exessively in 2015/16 and met the nicest people. We had not much in common than speaking at least a bit of english and playing games.
I met a dozen americans, a scot, a englishman, a czech guy, two french, australians, austrians and one guy from spain. I met an ukrainian who became best buddies with a russian bloke.
Games can change your live when you are a part of an inclusive and cool group of people. They are normal people and you learn that really the most people you will ever meet are nice.
Whatever you like to play I hope you enjoy your time with it. I hope it enriches your life or gives you a new perspective.

@dewb Hah, I am exactly the opposite.
I have a old laptop which was really slow running windows 7 and I basically used it to rerender my gaming recordings with handbrake. So I took a mint distro and just threw it on there. All linux distros have dvorak and neo2 built in, works like a charm. No hassle, no key to buy ... :D

God bless indeed.

My name is Momin, and I’m a medical student from Pakistan. Struggling to become a good and helping doctor. I love photography, beautiful sceneries, exploring world, good and helping people. Always want to spread positivity and love. Thanks😊

While the day of Eid is a day of immense happiness and joy, let us remember all our suffering muslim brothers, sisters all over the world. Lets remember our revert brother/sisters who cant share their happiness with their families and have to celebrate all alone. May Allah grant them the best of this world and the best of akhirat. Ameen!

@dewb dvorak? Nice. I use the Neo2 layout on my oh so german keyboard.
I love games, use linux and windows depending on what I want to do, love freedom very much am a christian and have a banana-pi with Debian running on it.
We have so much in common and I intent to fully concentrate on that. My first intention was to sigh because of "MAGA" and I fullheartedly trying to resist that urge.
I welcome you instead <3

@Keltik Intense Goldblum moment.
Beautiful cat. Ten out of ten!

#introduction

#gaming is in my blood

I enjoy playful flirtations with my imagination, inspired by gaming. The emotional adventures that can be had.

I enthuse, I write, I podcast, and champion the niche in almost all forms of entertainment.

I prefer communities that support consideration and mutual respect, maturity and passionate discussion.

I'm a Dad and a Kid (at heart).

Games, even at their most basic, can unlock realms of excitement and untold adventure.. bring it on..

Game On!

@Zykino Because my french is horrible and it's a beautiful language. :/

*sigh*

I had to say this on the birdsite every few months, and I guess I have to say it here, too: I am not your trained monkey. You are not entitled to my time, my comments on whatever you want me to comment on, or my attention. If you can't respect that, I'm going to block you.

Thanks for listening.

@codepuppy

I'm surely forgetting many more, but I'd also say, if you are looking for cool science leaning persons, @InvaderXan @spinflip , @freemo , @pwgallagher, @imvectech, @dereklh

As instances, I enjoy and respect a lot the people from sunbeam.city, mastodon.art, qoto.org, social.coop and refactorcamp.org, between others.

@arkayar @mona@cybre.space

@freemo This actually contains quite a bit of history. I am going to put them all into scheduled toots around 20:00

@freemo Exactly.
You know what? I will just starting to shout out our "national days". Sadly there is none today. Tomorrow though will be the "National day of Upper Lusatia"!

Can americans please stop writing things like "national prison strike!" or "national day of hazel nuts!", because, like, there are a few more nations than one.
