Tell Me About Yourselves

[Kieran]

I saw your post about your characters houses, they’re awesome! That’s a really neat hobby to have.

Thank you. I did work super hard on them nearly every day for many months. At some points it wasn't even fun anymore due to problems with the software, but overall and in the end it was really good fun. And for me, they make my characters feel more real in a way as their homes no longer exist only in my own head but have been manifested into photo-realistic virtual tours. And they're useful and important for me personally if nothing else, when it comes to checking details and visualising their homes when I write in-game posts.

I didn’t realise Bambi was a book, I’ll have to read it although as a child the movie made me cry for days.

The book is nowhere near as sad or graphic about anything. It was interesting and worth a read but not very emotional, at least not in the way the Disney version is.

I’m fairly new to gaming, currently I’m playing Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. I also play Hogwarts Legacy and I love it, it’s one of my favorite games although that just might be the nostalgia talking lol. How did you like Hogwarts Legacy?

The only Zelda game I've ever played is a Nintendo Game & Watch version from the early '90s. Of course nothing like the home console games so I'm not passing any judgment on the franchise based on it. I still haven't played Hogwarts Legacy through, but so far I like it a lot when it comes to the Harry Potter universe aspect. I just wish it had a more deep and emotional main storyline instead such a generic adventure one. That combined with how I got infuriatingly stuck with one big enemy challenge, unable to beat it due to not having levelled up enough before taking that quest, I dropped the game for months. When I picked it up again I'd forgotten so much of the gameplay functions that I just started a whole new game recently. This time instead of just picking the default character appearance, I designed the character's looks to resemble my original character Phoenix Scamander as much as possible. It helped, I feel more invested in the story and game now. So, I like it okay but I feel the main story and main character are too generic. I won't pass a final judgment yet becuase I'm only at the beginning. Perhaps it does get better and deeper towards the end.
