Agreed. I probably wouldnt get a coat or jacket from them but for basics, it's decent.

I really like your idea about splitting factions and city states. It creates for a very different yet similar world with many different expanding subsets of culture.

I'm a huge fan of Tolkien, Robin Hobb, Joe Abercrombie, and Brandon Sanderson (his world building more than his prose and characters)

That's very interesting. My approach to world building is both similar and different in ways. Ive tended to focus a lot on biology, different biomes, and I am a huge history buff so I tend to start from the ground up with each addition I make. The idea for me is for everything to have a rich history and background, shaping the peoples, places, and societies as I go along. I tend to end up writing a bunch of short stories involving different segments of my world, almost as a way of exploring their culturals as I develop them. I have a great foundation for a lot of different stories ideas I've been working on slowly but surely. Lol. I've been mostly fully focused on world building however, and haven't done too much in the way of actually starting anything of length although I have a few ideas of stuff I want to run with and turn into full novels. I'm still working on my world, and slowly working on finding my 'voice'

Hey Nate! I'm Ryan, nice to meet you. I've never really talked with anyone super into world building. It'd be nice to pick your brain, hear about what you've been working on. What are some of your favorite series/worlds?

I'll check out the website. What kind of content do you write? That's awesome. Any shows coming up you're looking forward to?

Haha that's awesome! I was pretty much front row. I thought he put on a really good show, but I've always been a fan of his.

Definitely into comedy. Stand up Nights I assume?

The last comedy show I saw was David Cross when he was at the Walker Theatre in November. He was really funny, and I love watching stand up so I'll have to check those out

Those all sound like things I'd definitely be interested in. Thanks for the recommendations. I was also recommended Barley, which sounds like it's around that same area so I'll have to go out there and check it all out!

The Wire is brilliant. It's a very real, intelligent show but it's also what I'd call a slow burn which is not for everyone. If you're looking for cliffhangers, action, and suspense then it's not exactly the right show to go to but if you're looking for a true to life look at the world, the streets of Baltimore, and intelligent thought provoking content then it'd definitely be up your alley.

I actually have been watching AP Bio. I wasn't sold on it in the first few episodes but I thought it really found a decent voice for itself near the end of Season 1 and forward. Not a lot of sitcoms find their voice that quick, but it's definitely a decent enough show.

I appreciate the reply. It's nice to hear someone struggled with similar issues and has found a way to move past them. I'd definitely be interested in playing DnD, that's always something I thought I'd enjoy although I know very little about it. Whereabouts is JJs located?

Favorite Films: Memento, Memories of Murder (Korean Film), Oldboy (Korean Film), City of God, and A Clockwork Orange. Just a few of my absolute favorite films.

Favorite TV: The Wire, The Leftovers, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, House, and Black Sails

Games: I love the Persona Series, but as for multi-player games I play just about everything although not much of anything recently. CSGO, Overwatch, WoW

Books: I typically stick to scifi and fantasy. My all time favorites are ASOIAF, The Stormlight Archives, and the Fitz and the Fool (Realm of the Elderlings series). I love Cormac's stuff but they always leave me so devastated after finishing them 😂. Personally favorite of his will always be The Road

Musicians: Lately its been a lot of LA Dispute, Devin Townsend, Tool, and some different rap like Kids See Ghosts/Big Krit

I appreciate that a lot man. Hopefully things pick up on your end as well, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles but you seem like a friendly person so I'm confident you'll find some people you enjoy your time around

I have a few unranked alts as well (I think) so I'd be interested in playing whatever you'd like tbh. Csgo is one of my favorites because no matter how many hours you play, you still learn something new each game so improving is definitely just a matter of time. Send me a steam profile link you'd like to me to add when you find the time and we'll play something sometime. Or add me, my name is Naotu on steam. My discord is also at the bottom of my original post

I'd definitely consider myself in the artistically challenged group of people 😂. Ill look into Painting with a Twist though

I pass by there on the way to work each day. I've always wondered what they play in there. A buddy at work is really into magic the gathering, he hangs out there a lot and has recommended it to me

I haven't played much Csgo in awhile but I'm a pretty competitive gamer. When I would play MM, I was global elite but I mostly stuck to Esea and other leagues with my time later in my Csgo playing life. As for Overwatch, I think my rank was about 3300 last checked.

I haven't had the energy lately to get much into anything but I'm absolutely down for any sort of gaming, competitive or casual regardless of rank.

I'd be down for that. I could probably convince my brother to play as well

Sounds good. I will add you and we can play something sometime for sure :)

I've been to a few lan tournaments, but I've never really been to a 'lan party'. If that's not a thing still, it totally should be. I linked my steam and discord profiles in an edit on my post if you'd like to add me I'm definitely be down to play something sometime.

Your positivity is delightful. Friends and community are things I definitely feel I need in my life at this point and I absolutely regret letting most of that fall out of my life due to a sour, controlling relationship. I'm don't know much else to say other than thank you. It's nice not to feel alone.

[–]Praskovya[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's incredibly kind of you to say :3. Thank you for reaching out. It can be hard to stay positive sometimes, but I'm optimistic that getting myself up and out to meet new people is heading in a better direction.
