A thread in which to introduce oneself

If you can operate melee, you do not need a game further than melee.

Iā€™m afraid to go in there. I saw a Black Widow spider outside my apartment in May and it ruined my summer.

And give it the perfect opportunity to KILL me!?

No, I didnā€™t. Itā€™s since moved on, probably to my bed or something.

Hey all you Inserted Credits! :coin: :coin: :coin:

Iā€™ve been registered here since the beginning of June this year and have already made some posts in other categories, but since then I havenā€™t had access to internet! Therefore this introductory delay!

I am a game designer from Sweden currently developing my first commercial title called RADIANT ELUSION. I am a total nerd, I have studied printing techniques and have a bachelor in Cultural Studies. I delve deep into classics/literature, films, manga, anime and ofc video games. But I am also a ultra health freak and vegan athlete. I work out twice almost everyday, all from weightlifting, bodyweight/mobility to running, bicycling and swimming. My aim is to become an old superman! :sparkles:

I really really enjoy the Insert Credit pod and this community. So many good and inspirational takes and eye-opening topics! I hope I will get to know many of you, sharing takes and being part of discussions to the best of my abilities!

Big blessings to you all! :heart:

In order to bring balance to the scales, the Scandinerdian council has ordered me, a health-unconscious* Dane, to sign up for my first forum in a decade and change. Hi! (And sorry for the essay. I promise I only have the social energy to post anything once in a blue moon, so I wonā€™t be forcing everyone to scroll past walls of texts on the reg.)

The Insert Credit Show has consistently popped up whenever Iā€™ve searched for discussions on cool niche games. When I listened to an old episode and immediately intuited that Brandonā€™s recommendation was about to be Satan (the old heavy metal band, not the ruler of demons or any of his video game incarnations), I knew Iā€™d found a cool new thing to enjoy hundreds of episodes of. Getting schooled on tons of hidden gemsā€”and even several consoles that I somehow didnā€™t realize or had long forgotten existedā€”has been a good time.

Other than niche video games and heavy metal, I also like non-niche video games and non-metal music (keep the jazz fusion recs coming)! ā€¦ Iā€™m now realizing Iā€™m not adept at describing my interests. I decided on Japanese as my university major because of the silly trifecta of Japanese wrasslinā€™, JRPGs, and j-rock, and now obsessively watch every top division sumo tournament. I turn in to most things MMA (despite by now being completely disillusioned with the sport and most its participants), and for some reason Iā€™ve also ended up following F1 quite closely, despite having barely any understanding of or interest in cars.

*: Before reverting to couch potato status, I spent a few years in a local MMA gym as the token nerd who would for sure lose to everyone there in an arm-wrestling contest but could grapple surprisingly OK for an unathletic delinquent. A guy whoā€™s cornered about 50% of the UFC fights featuring anyone from these here parts once told me to cut my hair because it wasnā€™t the ā€˜80s anymore. I didnā€™t get to experience the ā€˜80s, so he left me with no choice but to fully commit to never getting a real haircut again.
I havenā€™t been back on the mats since COVID as Iā€™m also the sole caretaker of a chronically ill parent. Combatively rolling around with relative strangers on tatami mats was my number one hobby, but I didnā€™tā€”and still donā€™tā€”see a safe and responsible way to reintegrate it into my life. Instead, Iā€™ve gone full hermit, with a lot of my time spent fiddling around learning RPG Maker. Iā€™m too basic a user with too little in my portfolio to dare call myself a game dev, but if anyone has an unscratched itch for verbose JRPG-styled amateur fare set in USA in the late 1970s, I do intend to eventually finish up my long-suffering project called The Old Ultraviolet. Then itā€™s onwards to the sumo stable manager, the The Ultimate Fighter choose-your-own-adventure, and whatever other audience-of-one project I need to exorcise from my brain.

Anyways, thanks for the shows and for this gathering place of what Iā€™m sure is nothing but real cool people. Happy to be here!

Iā€™m regularly[1] talking to myself over in the Real life sports thread about sumo. Anyone else that seemed to be interested in it has vanished, and everyone else is too polite to tell me to stop interrupting the domestic american sports talk with my weird nonsense.


  1. every two months, which makes sense ā†©ļøŽ

Welcome fellow MMA, F1 and video game enthusiast! My favorite trifecta of entertainment.

Any martial arts gym worth anything will gladly welcome you back with loving arms should you ever decide to train again. I come across folks fairly often, in BJJ at least, whoā€™ve taken various lengths of time away for various reasons and itā€™s just how life goes. But the mats are always there for ya whenever you need em next!
