Berix Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Figured I'd introduce myself—and alongside, probably make my first and only post here for a while (given my lackluster activity on nearly every other forum)—so... Hi! I'm Berix. I started reading Sanderson with the Alcatraz books when I was probably 12 or 13, forgot he existed for a while, then picked up the Stormlight box set and binged the first three books in about a month during a slow part of college. I'm now nearly caught up with the Cosmere in time for TLM, and hope to begin my Stormlight reread before the end of the year! I enjoy gaming—my favorite games include Age of Empries 2, Overwatch (...not 2), Terraria, and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. I'm a part-time speedrunner for that last game, and hold a pair of world records for it, albeit for a subcategory and a romhack. If I'm not playing games, I'm usually reading something. Oftentimes it's fanfiction, but I've been getting back into "real" books recently with Red Rising and the Cosmere. Beyond that I also read quite a bit of manga. Uhhhhhhhhhh. I like to pretend that I write, but lack a bit too much dedication to get anywhere with it right now. Couple of fanfics published, but not a whole lot that I'm super proud of. Anyways, that's me! Good to finally be here on 17th Shard after so much time on Coppermind and Arcanum. I look forward to lurking about this place. 2

FlowerGirl she/her Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Welcome! It's great to have you on the shard! Do you have a favorite magic system? Mine is either Feruchemy or AonDor.
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Welcome to the shard! Do you enjoy the legend of zelda or hollow knight?

I’m really liking Feruchemy, having just caught up to Era 2 and the inventive uses there. Surges also get a point just because Windrunner flying is sick. 20 minutes ago, The Wandering Wizard said: Welcome to the shard! Do you enjoy the legend of zelda or hollow knight? I’ve enjoyed the Zelda games that I have played, but that’s mostly the DS titles and BotW. Hollow Knight is a great metroidvania, though I prefer Aria and AM2R over it, among others. Ender Lillies is also an excellent metroidvania, with a similar atmosphere to HK. 1
