Hot posts in thread: Introduce Yourself!

Welcome all newcomers

 

Your French seems better than my English ahah. However it would be "Monsieur" with caps and "je" without (contrary to the "I" in English). The fact that I have to correct you on the use of caps is proof that the rest of the sentence is perfectly fine ahah. Thanks for the welcome!

P.S. Goats are actually very friendly. She would play with us when we were kids. If we cupped our hands and she would then charged us playfully. She always adapted her strength to ours and never once did she made us fall. We actually had four goats at the beginning that we rescued from the zoo of Thoiry where they were intended to be fed to the lions. The others had a more regular lifespan for goats (around 12-15 years).

 

Bienvenue monsieur, Je suis très content que vous soyez ici. (I hope that's right, it's been decades), your posts are a valuable addition to the forum and quite enjoyable, I am already looking forward to them.

Welcome aboard!

P.S. My condolences about the goat, (My grandfather had one when I was young, I was terrified of it!)

 

Omg I forgot to introduce myself! How rude!

I'm Tynendir Endeniel but my friends call me Tynen.

1. Where do you live?

I live in France near Versailles. I've also lived in California in the Sonoma Valley (near Santa Rosa) for a year.

2. How old are you?

I'm 23 years old and I'll be 24 in June.

3. What are your favorite games?

4X games obviously? To be honest I love almost all genres and I like to switch around what genre I play depending of my mood. Therefore I can play a game of League of Legends, then play Factorio for 30 minutes to finish on a game of Stellaris for the mere 8 hours that compose my night.

4. What do you do for a living?

I'm an English teacher back in France.

5. What hobbies do you have, outside of gaming?

Wait there are other stuff than gaming? Do tabletop games count? Roleplaying? Ok... ok.... I do play the guitar and practice martial arts.

6. What's your native language?

French duh! But obviously I also speak English (American and British, I can do both accent fairly well I think), Spanish (I understand better than I speak), Japanese (I can say my name! Woop Woop!).

7. Any pets?

Tons. 2 dogs; an Australian Shepherd called Brix and a recently acquired Coton de Tulear (it's my mother's I don't really fancy small dogs). I also have 8 cats (well more like each member of my family got a certain number of cat from 1 to 3); my sister got a Maine Coon and the rest are mixed breeds.
My other sister also have 40 to 50 hens. I hate those. They shit everywhere and are dumb as rocks. You don't want chickens as pets trust me!
Then we got 3 horses.
We also had a goat but she died this summer at the tipe age of 21 and 8 months (less than a year short to beat the world record!).

That's pretty much it!

I think that it's a noble idea but, like the OP wrote, i don't think it will become a reality in our lifetime.

Quoting from Heinlein : "Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms."

 

Hi,

I would normally write something witty here, but heck, its 5pm on a Friday afternoon, so I'll cut this short:

Like most of you here, I am a nerd who likes 4X and especially space strategy games. I did grow up on great titles, such as Civilization, Master of Magic, Master of Orion, Pax Imperia, Imperium, honestly, the list could just go on and on and on.

As someone who have probably played every RTS or TBS 4X space strategy game from the last 30 years and has been working as a software developer for the past 15, I am more interested in designing and making games these days, than actually playing them, mostly as very little of what is out there today caters to my particular tastes. If I would have to pick a favorite, it would probably be Sword of the Stars, for its purist and excellently focused game design coupled with an excellent execution.

My native language is Terran (for those not aware, in pop culture, this pretty much means English) and I'm from the planet earth.
I believe in a society, where national boundaries and nationalist sentiments are a thing of the past, so we can work together as people of the earth and not care about which land mass one might stem from.

I have no pets as I struggle to keep even cacti alive
