Title: Whaddap yall
Post by: Gr1n on May 31, 2018, 06:54:21 PM: Alright so I've wanted to join up in a forum for, uh... ever, really. But I never really got the hang of it. So consider this my attempt to do just that.

Hi, my name's Alex, but people pretty much just call me Sasha for reasons that took me embarrassingly long to learn. Gr1in/Grin work just fine too, since that's been my online handle for many years now.

So, long story short, born stateside, but parents moved over to Finland since schools are kinda way cheaper here. Now I'm just biding my time, saving up until I can move back to the states eventually. Been a furry for... like eight years? Feels like it's been forever, but I've never really made many friends since I'm just about as shy online as I am in person. Trying to gently make a change to that, hence I'm here!

What else should I say... I like a good game, love the sound of thunder outside, as long as I'm snug and warm under a blanket. Nothing beats a good movie in the right company... except maybe reading a good book after a long day at work.

Anything else and you're gonna have to ask. I'm really bad at this whole "Hey, my name is ___" thing.

Hi Sasha, welcome to TFF! I wish you a nice stay here, and you got yourself a nice and detailed introduction thread, it was interesting to read. Oh, if you have discord you can find our official server on the homepage!

Feel free to send me a message if you need any help or if you have any doubts, I'm always glad to help. See you around and have fun!

And its very nice to find someone else who enjoys storms while under a nice warm blanket!

Ooh, discord! I haven't given that one a try... Maybe I should. Though it might take a moment for me to dare using my voice!

Storms + blankets = Literally the best thing ever. Seriously. Could listen to it for ages.

Oh man that's a tough one. I guess it depends on my mood, so I'll just answer on that.

Right now I'm enjoying revisiting Dragon's Dogma because it kinda tides me over for Monster Hunter World for PC... Big open world with lots of things to do, plenty flexibility and monsters. Kinda like D&D actually... and speaking of that, Divinity 2 has been awesome. But I always turn it on and then lose a few hours, so I try to take it in moderation.

If I just wanna go run around and have a bit of brain-off games, Titanfall 2 and Warframe are fun. Watch Dogs 2 is also cool because Wrench is simply the best.

I, too, am a bit of a gamer - I take after my father, in fact, in that I collect those that pique my interest. And I have quite the collection already. I wonder, do you play any RTS or RPG games? Or is it primarily FPS for you (not that there's something wrong with that)?

Hoping you enjoy your stay,

Ooh, I know enough to see that's draconic, but not enough to understand anything past the first three! Nice to be here! RTS is something I loved more when I was young... We had a game called Perimeter on the family computer, and now that I think about it, I should have the CD tucked somewhere... Dungeon Keeper was also great, though I'm not sure if that counts. Love Dawn of War and Tyranids! Though I must admit I've grown out of RTS for the most part... Civ V does eat up so much time... RPG games I adore, though. Fallouts are great, and I think I've sank far too much time in Skyrim on like... three different consoles now. Witcher 3 is amazing too, and I still haven't finished it.

Translation: Greetings, mortal. I am Lokahviing (Lokahviing being a dragon name meaning "winged sky hunter"). I would have expected one who has played Skyrim as extensively as you to know that. Still, no matter.

As for my games, I play and mod Skyrim, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, Morrowind, and Oblivion. My RTS collection includes (but is not limited to) Sins of a Solar Empire, Star Wars: Empire at War and it's Forces of Corruption expansion, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Empire Earth, and Age of Empires II HD. I have other games in my collection, but way to many to name them all off the top of my head.

Nice to meet a fellow gamer!

To be fair, I was always kind of just enjoying Paarthunax's voice to really pay much attention to that. And it has been a while since I played, so I can't remember all those things!

That's pretty expansive! New Vegas is definitely a fun one... should boot it up again. Always did enjoy giving a Deathclaw a few scritches under the chin.

Because apparently "Alexander" is abbreviated to Sasha in east European dialects. I rather like it, too.

...Okay.

Well, as long as you don't eat the rules (https://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=5), we'll be good. Also don't eat me. Or the admins. Or anyone else. And also not anything else that's not supposed to be edible. You get the point.

Sorry, I just don't trust floating mouths, okay?

And here I thought we were all progressive-like. Why not trust a floating mouth? Did one eat your dog or something? Terrible.

No but in all seriousness, nice to be here. Glad I've made some impression!

I promise not to eat anything not-edible. Unless it looks edible. That's an honest mistake, promise.
