Hi everyone, I'm Annie. I've been posting a bit on the forums, and I realized I've never hit this thread. So here it goes!
I'm a 54 year old woman with a husband and 7 cats. I've literally been playing pc games since the days when they used cassette tape storage (our computer would reboot every time the fridge condenser kicked in. Good times). All of this doesn't mean I am particularly good or anything, I break towards just goofing around and not dealing with min/maxing.
Games I've sank way to many hours in, in no particual order:
- Bard's Tale and other rpgs when they were in the golden age of the Commodore 64
- Civs 1-6. Not a big fan of I think it was 4? But overall, yeah, Civ.
- The Sims Series. Fond Memories, but EA destroyed it and now on boycott status for me
- Everquest/WoW/City of Heroes
- Tropico. First was great, the series is decent now but too much a dlc cash grab. No official on boycott status, but I'm not really bothering anymore either.
- Stardew Valley
- Don't Starve
- Lately a odd little story generation management game I can remember the name of
As far as Tynan's suggestions:
-What introduced you to RimWorld? Or to this style of game in general?
Rimworld I found from recommendations from the Don't Starve Community. I truly love DS, but I was getting a bit bored with it. Others in the same position said they liked Rimworld too, so I gave it a go. Fell in love in first playthrough when a mad squirrel destroyed my life. Oh, you shouldn't ignore those like I do in real life? Wow!
-What's your favorite other game?
Seriously, Don't Starve is awesome.
-Most embarrassing gaming-related story?
I was playing a gnome in Wow and running around sand dunes hunting small things, don't remember the details. What I do remember is that I suddenly came upon a giant something or other. Spider maybe? Details. What I do remember is that I was startled in real life. And I screamed, in real life. And my real life husband and our room mate at the time were at their computers playing their games. I startled them in real life. They laughed at me for months, and rightly so.
-What kind of breakfast cereal is the best?
Cinnamon raison bagels slathered with butter. Yes, that counts and cereal.
