My Very Brief Bio

Male, 31 years old. (So I'm practically dead, as we speak.)

Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)

But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

I have everything but the character's backstory written out. Will try to post my CS tomorrow.
Just for the sake of it. (Since you said to apply here, once this went live.) I'll attempt to make a poison-type character. Assuming that's okay? @TheNoCoKid
To save me (and you the reader) some time with a long-winded rant.

Completed Grime, and I'll give it a conflicted '7 out of 10'. Fuck absolutely everything past the 2nd to last boss.

(I'd happily play a theoretical Grime 2. A more polished and less bloated version, that focuses on the game's highs and improves upon its easily-improvable shortcomings.)

Anyway, taking a much needed Metroidvania break and giving "The Case of the Golden Idol" a shot.

Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.


Edit: It's not 'Return of the Obra Dinn' amazing. Since I don't think its story concluded in a very engaging way. But 'The Case of the Golden Idol' was a pretty challenging game for the most part, and it kept me engaged enough to finish it. (Being fair in most places with its logic, and easy enough to understand.) So we'll see how the next detective game I'm playing will be in comparison...

Tyrant
I haven't read a lot of Manga recently. But I do hope to find some that'll hook me in the future. So here's just the few that I've read in the past month.

Bluelock's anime was clearly meant to get people interested in the Manga. (And I played a lot of Soccer back in the day.) So I gave it a shot, and I think the manga is perfectly readable. But its narrative twists and turns to be different from other typical sports anime become really predictable, and it's not a very engaging in the long run.

Kaiju No.8 has a premise that I adore and it starts off quite strong. But I feel like the story is meandering along, after the MC revealed his identity and endured no consequences for it.

Nomads is an "adventure" Webtoon that has a lot of decent comedic timing and a fun premise that it honestly doesn't do a whole lot with. But I suppose that's due to the slice of life/modern cartoon approach to its plot.
I assume the question is 'do you think that you're a good spontaneous gift giver, or do you give gifts based on information and what you believe people want'. And I definitely fall into the latter. I've ended up getting last minute gifts for the past two years, because I have no earthly clue what to give my family sometimes. Since most of them are quite difficult to shop for. And the ones who aren't, are also harder to please.

(I know it's early. But I already have my New Year's Resolutions in mind and in progress.) What are your New Year's Resolutions?
Nearly everything on my Steam wishlist is on sale. But I don't want to spend any more money. Yet I am unlikely to resist such a temptation. ;-;

Grime continues to have little bright spots that make me endure the frustrating moments. But I've died more from bugs in these terrible platforming sections, than I've lost to bosses (the actual challenge/fun part of the game). So I have a feeling that I'll put this a tier below Blasphemous, when all is said and done. We'll see...
