Hello everyone
Been listening to the podcast for a while and been trying to get out of the social media sphere and back into some traditional online spaces.
Gamewise Iām primarily into rpgs and adjacent genres. Iām from Denmark and currently living in Copenhagen. Iām sometimes caught off guard by US cultural standards, so if something seems off then please reach out to me. I am always open to learn something new.
Iām also a sociologist by training and currently work with politics, primarily about science policy and universities.
Looking forward to check out this place.

Welcome to IC.
Thanks for a great introduction and hope you enjoy spending some time in our little part of the digital world.
Please share more on your adjacent genres, as I am sure theyāll be welcome here. And if you fancy some topics to get you started we have a great one about video game mountains, what you got in the mail and of course, whatās that game?
Have fun =)

I really wish US game culture was more like Insert Credit Forumsā¦

Weāre all trying to manifest here.
Edit: I would title IC forums as āUS gaming culture: the good partsā

Hello folks! My nameās Dalan, but I also go by Val (from the ValiantAMM, itself an amalgamation of abbreviations). Iāve been listening to Insert Credit sporadically for a couple years now; having discovered it by way of Timās Action Button videos.
Iām currently returning to college/university at a new institution after being prescribed ADHD meds that seem to let me function at a comparable level to other humans. Iāve wanted to make games since I was a kid after experiencing a game story that particularly resonated with me, so Iām most interested in a position as a game and/or narrative designer. My major doesnāt strongly reflect that (Communications) but we do have some game design classes that I will be taking full advantage of!
In general I came here because I wanted to find some advice on games to play to get a wider experience with the medium of video games and their strengths and weaknesses. This tweet has been rattling around in my head for a week or two so I guess Iād like to start with some older Japanese adventure games if anyone knows of a thread that fits that description! I recently returned from a two month language study in Japan so I also wouldnāt mind it as a way to improve some of my Japanese reading comprehension, but quality translations are always welcome as Iām still only N4 at best.
I tend to bounce around between communities online a lot, but Iāve found myself wanting forum environments more than the very disconnected nature of sites like Twitter and Bluesky, so hopefully youāll see more of me in the future!
Looking forward to chatting with you all!

I recently build a PC for the first time, so Iām checking out a bunch of pc rpgs that I never had the chance to try.
Currently Iām checking out Fallout New Vegas and replaying Suikoden II on an emulator.
My backlog has completely exploded though.

New Vegas is so cool. Itās been an eternity since I last played it but I have very fond memories of it. I hope youāre having a great time! Feel free to share your impressions in this thread if you feel like it: Here we are again: the thread where we discuss the games we are playing in 2024

Hello everyone, Kiki joined the forum earlier so now I am following in her footsteps. I mainly collect games for the Playstation at the moment, I love controllers and I have too many CRT monitors. Nice to meet you.

Hi!
I started listening to the podcast circa 2014, which surprisingly seems like a long time compared to many of the folks here! The fact that I think 10 years is ānot too long agoā probably means Iām officially old. The moment that hooked me was Jaffeās ātake a dic picā joke at the start of the McLeroy episode, trying to make an anagram out of āThe Insert Credit Dot Com PodCastā, which had me uncontrollably laughing in the middle of the office at my at-the-time new job.
Iāve spent the decade since trying to get into a game other than Super Smash Bros. Melee, Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4, StarCraft: Broodwar, or Magic: The Gathering. With the help of the podcast and forum, Iām hopeful I may succeed one day.
(RPGās and survival horror tend to be the genres which break through. Recently Signalis stuck with me emotionally like few other games have).
Other than that, I enjoy ultimate (think flying plastic disc), cooking, listening to music and having a greyhound.
