Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

You're right @romanempress . It takes a lot of courage to reach out to an unknown community. Yet it can be a step in the right direction.

For me, this space was such an important step for me in my recovery. Things were hard, but just knowing there was a community out there who i'd be able to connect with, was so so helpful.

What are things that you enjoy, or things that keep you going?

From my end, I'm pretty okay. I'm interstate staying with family at the moment, but will be returning home to Melb in a week's time or something. 

See you around @romanempress

Thank you

I enjoy reading, gardening, video games, spending time with partner and kids

Gardening! I actually shared a thread on gardening, but I removed it because I didn't want to just 'assume' people liked gardening Garden Club 

@romanempress 

What videogames do you enjoy?

@tyme 

sorry to butt into your conversation just wanted to chat. I have only ever finished 3 video games, SKYRIM, Ageo of Empires and Final Fantasy XII. Am very much a novice gamer but do not have a garden so could not really contribute to other conversations.

Cheers

I've finished last of us 1 and 2, beyond souls, call of duty WW2, almost done with tomb raider

@romanempress @tyme 

Roman Empress, am very impressed. Tried last of us 1 and got to the firs major fight scene before failing badly with limited ammo. The other games sound equally challenging although I did alright at tomb raider, it is a classic.

how much time do you spend gaming, it is less now for me but while trying to blast my way through some games it could be 6 or 8 hours a day. Some may think that unhealthy, but at 58 they say we should keep our brains busy, i think

Cheers anyway

Yeah the games are hard for sure. It gets easier with practice. Definitely good for neuroplasticity!

I don't play much, kids, work etc

[tyme]

I don't and haven't played any of those games @romanempress @Alittleorange .

When I watch people play X-Box or playstation now, my head goes dizzy. It wasn't those 'innocent' Mario Bros games or Pokemon.. these new games are totally beyond me.

@Alittleorange , no worries about 'butting' in. I don't see it as butting in, but rather, adding your valuable contribution 🙂

@Alittleorange 

I add contributions all over the place. Lol

Thankyou very much for the links! I've added them to my favourites so I can jump in as soon as I get a calm moment haha, but you've made it so much smoother for me, thankyou 🙂
