Topic: The Newbie Introductions Thread

@hisownsidekick that's why I said "somehow". I've always believed that we have a great community here but sometimes we are too lazy, at least in my case, to do something as simple as signing up, that any small push, even the most unexpected, can make a difference. But I don't mean that this push was because of me. Sometimes it's just something in the air

@supermarido Ah, I see what you mean. For me, joining the community is one of many little changes I've felt like making in my life after losing a family member last year. So, a big push in general, I guess, that led to lots of little things changing, if that makes sense.

@hisownsidekick I'm really sorry to hear that I hope you're better now, but take it easy because wounds like these take their time to heal.

In addition to the internet communities, which are very good, I hope you are surrounded by people who love you in the real world as well.

@supermarido I do have a support network, thanks. It's small, but it's quality over quantity, I suppose, haha. I appreciate your words. 😊

@Force, welcome to the NL club!

@Force Welcome! I've had a great time here and on the other Hookshot sites since I signed up recently; I hope you do too!

Well, I'm not exactly a newbie anymore, but I've never really been active in the forum, so...Tom here, a 44-year-old guy from Germany. I've been a Nintendo fan since I was nine, starting with the Game Boy, and I've stayed a fan ever since.

Aside from the comments, I haven't had any other contact with anyone yet. Maybe that will change. Until then, have a good one, everyone!

Hey everyone! I'm Serena, a 34-year-old witch hailing from Germany. I've been a longtime reader of Nintendo Life—for years, in fact—but I've only just gotten around to creating an account. A recent comment finally pushed me over the edge; I just had to chime in!

I have a passion for drawing and playing games, though being a working parent means I don't have as much free time as I used to. Still, I plan to pop in and write whenever I can. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you better. <3 If anybody is wondering, currently I’m playing Animal Crossing and Kirby Airriders.

@Serena_ Welcome! Nice to have you around

@Nintoz thanks for having me. bow

@Serena_ Welcome!

@Serena_, welcome to the Club!

A fellow german Gamer, greetings from the Ruhrgebiet

Hey everyone, after a couple of years coming here for my daily Nintendo news I finally got around to making a profile to give connecting with the community a go. I'm a mid 30's dad from New Zealand with a big love of JRPGs and retro games. Currently playing through DQVII Reimagined, but holding out for the weekend where I can experience playing Leaf Green and Fire Red with the eldest kid for the first time.

@Ethereal_NZ Welcome 👋 Nice to have you here.

@Ethereal_NZ, welcome to the Club! I'm also going to be playing Pokémon LeafGreen, and a big JRPGs fan too.

@FishyS Thanks, glad to be here!

@Nep-Nep-Freak Thanks heaps! Definitly going to be a great end to the week once it's out

Hey all! Seems I'm also following the trend of ex-lurkers deciding to join the forums. Either way, I'm Whyvern, been a Nintendo fan since the DS era when I first got my DSi with good ol' Mario Kart DS on it, and have stuck with their handhelds ever since! I've been reading here for some time now as well, pretty much since the launch of the original Switch, but thought it would be fun to start posting to the forums since (from my experience lurking) this seems like a friendly community.

I'm a big Splatoon fan (so I'll probably be fairly active in that forum), but I also love a good RPG or platformer, especially those from Indie devs. Outside of gaming I dabble with making art and software dev, so I enjoy talking about a game's technical aspects and game design if those topics ever get brought up too. Currently been playing Splatoon 3 (shocking), Mario Kart World, and replaying Stardew Valley.

Looking forward to chatting with you all!

(Feel free to send me a friend request on Switch as well, I'll probably accept it if I recognise your name)

@Whyvern_ , welcome to the NL Club! (I like to think of myself as one of the door greeters here, since I do this a lot 😅)

Here's a link to the Chit-Chat thread, where most of the random discussion goes on, if you would like to participate in it:
