Electric Challenge 1-3

electric_challenge is a dreamwidth community encouraging people to make dreamwidth posts about gaming.

Stage 1: A friending meme

Stage 2: My history as a player of computer games, below.

Stage 3: My favourite gaming communities:

otome_games, which I started when the mod of the previous otome community vanished. It's a small but very nice group and they're fun to squee with.

I poked through my subscriptions but all the other dreamwidth gaming communities I'm in haven't had any posts in months :(

The Black Emporium discord, for the Dragon Age rarepair exchange, is pretty active. I muted it when I needed a break from exchanges but everyone was very nice last time I popped in.

I'm on a few game dev discords but try to keep my game dev persona a bit separate to my fannish one. I can pass on links to anyone who's interested!

And now my history as a player of computer games, under the cut.

I love games, but am also very bad at almost all of them, with very bad reaction times and coordination. So since the beginning, I've made my own games, because the ones I wanted to (or even could) play didn't exist.

Cam got a job!!

It's at a local company, so he'll be going out to work instead of working from home. That's going to take some adjusting, but I guess means I can play music very loudly without interrupting his meetings.

It happened a little while ago but since he hasn't actually started yet part of me felt a superstitious dread of jinxing it. But I decided I really should mention it.
