Thanks for introducing me Kleinbl00. Hi. I'm shy.. Nice to meet you. :)
Hi crafty! Definitely check out the primer page if you're new here. I'd also suggest reading some posts and comments aren't related to muting or any other site function, that tends to bring out the worst of us. You can learn a lot by reading the commentary. Hope you stick around!
I do appreciate the warm welcome everyone has extended to me. Like most things, you get back what you put in, and Hubski is no exception. I can imagine it's a bit of hard-mode if you introduce yourself in the wrong way, but a little openness goes a long way.
It's a bit like humans communicating, isn't it? :D
Welcome! Currently steve and I are working on a "welcome" video that should help. In the meantime, check out the Primer Page I know insomniasexx and _refugee_ have curated lists for #newbies that are #newtohubski Feel free to PM me with any questions not addressed here. Cheers!
You mean that gilded reminds you of the badge. :-)
Wow, that is really funny. I honestly had no idea Reddit's silly gold thing was actually (maybe not but they look so similar) modeled on your badges , which do something productive for the quality of the site. Allow me a moment to take my foot out of my mouth here!

-No foot in mouth at all. It could be, and likely is just a coincidence. There have been several such coincidences. It's all good. Without Reddit, Hubski would never have been conceived of, I'm grateful for that site and their contributions to the aggregation space and media in general. They've changed the way media is consumed, no doubt about it. That's powerful stuff. But yeah... we had badges first :)
JakobVirgil you're my heroTO be I think he butled for Chuffy I mean Lord Chuffington when he was trying to get american billionaire to buy Chuffnell Hall
I accept your hero worship but I don't understand the context. Is this one of those hubski time warps?
Thanks for the list! Hubski felt like such a small site when I first found it and was lurking. I'd pretty much just browse a few stories, whatever was at the top of global, and search a handful of tags but now the more I look, the bigger the site becomes.
Yes, that's actually why I've begun using chatter and global, and am starting to consider exploring the Land of Zero Shares (eightbitsamurai can that be added to the map?)
"The Land of Zero Shares is a part of Ignore Isle." "But, you never mentioned it." "Yeah well, that's because people give less of a shit about it than Mute Town and Canada, which is why it wasn't even on the map. But that's because nobody can shut up about Mute Town and Canada is just sort of...there? I dunno, I've never been but I enjoy ragging on it." "I see." "Yeah. What the hell are we doing in this comment section anyways. What the hell are you doing in this comment section? I've got shit to do. Get out."
I've just noticed that the Primer talks about notifications but doesn't tell you where to see them - although I'm sure it's found elsewhere, it could bear repeating here :
If the hubwheel next to your name is orange, it means you have notifications - click it, to see them. If it's blue, then there are notifications you've seen, but not yet dismissed.
Oh haha, well. . . this may come as a bit of blasphemy, but I haven't played Persona 4! In my defense, however, this was one of my favorite games to lay in bed and watch my partner play, so it's definitely on my top list. With a unique visual style, great soundtrack, memorable writing and characters (Kanji and Teddie were my favorites) and fun dungeons, it really has the whole package. As far as which one RPG I would say is my favorite, I'd have to go with FFX. It might be an anathema to purists of the genre, but growing up in a household where my parents felt that kind of thing was unhealthy for the growing mind, it was the first real JPRG I was able to experience so it will always hold a special place for me. I also spent a long time playing FFXI and more recently, FFXIV. There are some incredible psychologically immersive experiences that can come out of MMORPGs. I have to be honest, I also liked the Mass Effect series. It had its flaws, but the worlds and stories were just so detailed and the visual imagery was very satisfying for a sci-fi fan like myself. Outside of those, I love sandbox games; they are my true passion as far as video game genres go. I played every Sim City iteration for literally countless hours, starting at a very young age with the original, through 4, which I still play modded with some irregularity. I love Civilization V, and Minecraft is another game I play with frequency. I'm a moderator on a small whitelisted vanilla server which is fun as a creative outlet for my casual interest in architecture.
I've been playing dozens of hours of Torchlight II recently, and I've been replaying Fable for the first time since it came out. Loads of fun. eightbitsamurai and I both have Torchlight II, you should pick it up and join us for a game if you like dungeon crawlers!
I'll check it out and let you know what I think! Also have to mention to eightbit that I saw his opinions of Shadow of the Colossus, and Kleinbl00, you are so very wrong! Haha, I loved SotC and Ico. I think it's hard to judge and compare video games because they're such a diverse medium. It's like dumping youTube, TV and movies all together into one group and comparing them.
Hahahahahaha, no can of worms here, no sir! And by that I mean, Kb knows he's fucking wrong and to shut up about it or else. Being (slightly) more serious, my ideas of gaming have become very aligned with kleinbl00's as of late. Maybe it's because I'm jaded, or because I want people to take the medium more seriously, but eh. I'm in love with Dark Souls right now, though. You were wearing Soltaire's Armor, with a matching sword and shield. I was stuck in the Undead Parish's church, trying to find my way to the Blacksmith, with a conjurer pestering me and I, low on health, when you showed up. Like it was nothing, you cut the conjurer down and sped us on our way to the top of the tower. As the corpses of skeleton knights tumbled down the stairs while I followed behind you, I thought I was in love. But I wasn't. Not until you turned around, bowed, and gave me a +5 Lightning Longsword with a base damage of 200. We reached the roof, and defeated the two gargoyle statues in less than 15 seconds. And just like that, you disappeared.
I don't know who you were, ANGELOX24, but know that you will be in my heart forever. -Dark Souls Missed Connections But yes, let us do the Torchlight II.I was wearing a reinforced +2 Fang Boar Helm, a Kite Shield, and a Great Axe.
'eyyy guyyyy. :) You'll see some great banter here, just you wait.
flagamuffin, you read Redwall? This is a good, great thing. I loved Brian Jacques, I actually shed a tear when I found out he had passed away. Got to go to a reading of his at our Borders before it closed down - super cool guy.
