Hi, everyone.
I'm a 20-year-old boy ("man" doesn't fit my vibe honestly) from the Netherlands. I'm autistic, AroAce, a little naive, a little innocent, and a bit all over the place. My mood can vary by a lot and I'll sometimes post about it when things get tough.
Some may know me from the r/TheDeprogram Discord (and its Weenie spinoff, teehee)
I have visited the site for over a year now, but now I've decided to create an account. Part of it is because I have questions about myself and personal feelings, and the neurodiverse comm seemed like a place where I could ask them. The people there seem kind and supportive.
Politically, while I tend to favour Marxist-Leninists, I have barely read any theory (sorry) and don't want to box myself in with a label, so I tell myself that I'm a "non-specified Marxist".
My interests are video games (usually more retro or relaxed, and not modern/mature AAA stuff), urbanism, space, tech, and I also gander at the anime comm usually, despite me not consuming the medium firsthand, with a few exceptions.
One thing you'll notice about me is that I have a fixation with Mega Man, and specifically the Mega Man Star Force series. I started playing the first game a year ago, when I was in my first year of university, and became depressed and hopeless about my life. The main character, Geo Stelar (hence my username), felt like a reflection of myself in many cases and of who I want to be. The game's themes of space, technology and hope combined with the retro aesthetic made me very attached to it, and the music has made me cry on many occasions. I never felt so understood and spoken to in my life, and it comforted me when I felt so lonely. It made me believe in myself again, and now I feel like I'm truly changing as a person, in no small part thanks to this game. I could talk for hours about it, I might make some effortposts about all my feelings about it one day.
That's all I have to say today. I hope you may enjoy my presence here.
"Pulse Out."
Boy, I heard that Battle Network fans HATED Star Force when it first came out...
I'm sad to disappoint you that I actually haven't played any Battle Network games yet (I stuck to the classic series until recently), but I do wish to eventually play it and am a fan by proxy. I actually chose to play Star Force partially as "preparation" for the Legacy Collection, because the first game's mechanics are simpler and it's overall quite easy compared to Battle Network.
The only Mega Man series I don't feel very much for are the X series, because it feels too much like pandering to teen boys with its faux-deep lore and has cringe pro-cop undertones, and the ZX series because I know very little about it.
I also am a Kirby fan, coincidentally.
Nice meeting you though, fans of all Mega Man series are welcome!
Oh boy I was high af last night when I typed my message out. I meant to say star force. For the record, I actually grew up with a ds, I played sf first and bn after. I like sf more cause it holds a special place in my heart. I need to finish working my way through the legacy collection some time.
Also kirby fan too, fuck yeag
