What topics do you like to discuss?

Anyone who has been following me on my journey of getting back into the swing of a consistent writing cadence might already know a few things I like talking about.

Video games and related media are a big thing for me. I could talk about strategies and tips/tricks or even just the history of games all day. With the exceptions of Racing and Fighting genres, I’m familiar enough with most of the rest to talk about (or at least understand) a huge variety of games. On console vs PC, how are they played, niches and tropes of the stories, design and functionality of game mechanics, the subjects run deep.

I’ve also spent roughly the last decade immersing myself into Magic: The Gathering, and I love talking about almost all the same subjects mentioned above because they’re just that similar! It makes it easy to jump from one to the other. There are almost 27,000 unique cards in the game and millions of people who play. This leads to a massive variety in deck designs across multiple formats as well as so many different play styles. I will add that I don’t play competitively and so I never really pay attention to that aspect of the overarching global Magic community. I just love playing the game and reading up on the stories/history of the characters and the worlds they come from.

I’d say those are the two biggest topics I like to discuss. I’m big into anime and manga as well, but I just don’t discuss it with many people or very often. Same goes for books and movies/TV. Occasionally a conversation drifts towards one of these topics and I can just go off on fun little tangents.

So, if you like the same topics/subjects as I do, maybe we can spark up a conversation about it someday.
