Topic: The Newbie Introductions Thread

Hello everyone I’m not new but I am one of the older gamers here. I am 46 and my real name is Thomas. I have a OLED Switch currenty but I once had a switch lite. I also have been around long enough to experience the NES, gameboy, DS and Atari 2600, Pong and other things. I am happy to meet y’all. See ya around the forums.

@ThatZeldaNerd thank you for the welcome 🙏 that’s cool you own the game, if you wanna play with a scrub like me hmu as I’d love the help 🤙

Also, hello @Atomic77 my favourite old school game has to be dragons lair 👌

Hiya, I made an account a while back but never actually did anything with it. 35-year old guy from Belgium. I make professional video for a living, into playing music as well behind closed doors. And am an avid gamer. Mostly Nintendo games, the occasional other-console one, rarely something on Mac. I mostly enjoy RPG games and its music. Happy to be among my kind, so, hello!

@stubblegum Hey there, welcome to the site! We're pretty chill around here so I hope you enjoy your time on NLife; great to have you around!

Hey. I'm an new user but at the same time I'm not. I used to be a gamer and was on this website a lot until 2015 (under the username Knux). I became a Christian in 2015 and gave up gaming for the most part for nine years. But I decided to give them a try again (although I'm playing them a lot less than I used to) although I'm still a Christian and because of that I watch what I play and how much I play (used to I played whatever and almost all of the time, no self control). I may get a Nintendo Switch again when I have money to do so, but not sure yet. Mainly play on a Gamecube and on a special box for old games. So I'm content with playing retro games for now until or if I get a Switch. Not sure if anyone remembers me or if anyone is on here pre-2015 but nice to meet you and nice to meet you again. I may not be on here as much as I used to be but may pop in every now and then. God bless.

Hello! I did make my account a few months ago, but it is fairly new. I used to browse Nintendo Life and its sister sites and wanted to make an account so I could talk with everyone, since a lot of the discussions here looked interesting and everyone seemed chill and fun, though I also made an account here so I could get better at socializing and holding discussions with others since I’m pretty bad at talking to other people lol. Lockdown from a few years ago really did something to me…To add, I find Nintendo Life to be one of the only trustworthy and better gaming news sites, since other ones seem to have been falling down and saying some rather questionable things as of late (looking at you Kotaku).

I am a huge fan of Nintendo, but an even huger fan of Rare, so it won’t be a surprise if I can’t shut up about their games in every single thread or news article I comment on lol. While I do play modern games, my most favorite are classic games that come from the 90s to 00s, since I like the feelings they exude and feel that it is hard to find games that have the same vibes as them. I don’t really mind the age of them really, though I’m starting to slowly run out of classic games to play… If you do want to know what games I love a lot or tend to play, it’s Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros., and a rhythm game called Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! on my phone, though it’s Banjo and Conker I hyperfixate on a ton 😆 My main console is Xbox, though I’ve been meaning to get back to using the Switch. If you are a Rare fan, I would love to chat with you and get to know you a bit!

I am also a huge fan of Japanese media, and I like to listen to J-pop and Vocaloid as my main music genres! I also like to draw and have a dream of becoming a semi-professional, but I don’t know how to post pictures on this site and I’ve been creatively burnt out as of late I also like mint chip ice cream (controversially).

If you are curious about my account name origins, it is supposed to be a combination of “pastel” (referring to my main art medium oil pastels) and “ravioli” or “cannoli,” though I added an extra “l” in there for some reason. I randomly thought of this as I was making my account, and I wanted it to be a somewhat silly sounding name related to art.

Anyway, I’m really happy to be using this site, and I can’t wait to talk to everyone else on here!

@Jennay Hey there, best to put this in the Switch thread or create your own topic so this doesn't get missed and is on-topic
