going to write a proper introduction post!

hello, my name is neo. i'm a transmasc in my 20's. generally speaking i like machines that move people, amusement rides, shooter games, and various sci fi and sci fi-adjacent media. i'm in between jobs right now, but my background spans aerospace engineering, acting, teaching, and operating amusement rides.

i occasionally draw and shoot 35mm film! (even less often, i write mediocre fanfiction.)

i'm on the fence about talking about my mental issues on new social media pages but you might find me mentioning them down the line.

i'll put my interests in the tags. (hopefully that's considered helpful here, like mastodon, and not spammy like it is on some sites.) happy to be here!

My relationship with long videogames

@the_gamer_tavern

In the past I couldn't, for the life of me, commit myself to playing long games (i.e. 30+ hours) because I fell out of interest and dropped the game.

Lately I started playing two "long" (always keep in mind that this adjective is used by my perspective) games: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mass Effect 1 (the legendary edition) and weirdly enough, seems like they're sticking with me because I'm alternating one or another throughout the gaming sessions.

I don't know if this pattern will be able to help me with other games as well or if it's just peculiar to those two specific games but I'm crossing my fingers 🤞

Have any of you had a similar experience?

I appreciate when #scifi authors make up some fictional physics and then describe all fictional technology as being plausibly based on those physics.

For example, in #MassEffect all the fancy tech works by way of an exotic element that alters the mass of nearby matter.

This gives you shields (bullets with negligible mass can't hurt you), artificial gravity (high mass has a gravitational field), faster-than-light propulsion (negative mass makes an Alcubierre drive possible), and so on.

so our kinda slightly parallel Mass Effect playthrough continues with Mass Effect 2. @thatfrisiangirlish beat it today but I have been bogged down with overtime at work and I only got to the collector ship today. I died several times on that horrible ship with my soldier but didn't die once as an adept. Adept has dramatically worse survivability than a soldier so it's pretty clear Adept is much more up my alley. It's also more fun and varried. My brain is much better desigined to SQUISH.

First photo is Tally's Shephard being an engineer, second is staring thoughtfully out of the Normandy, Third is a very dynamic shot that we really appreciated. Fourth is me shooting out a singularity on Horizon, fifth is me and my body dancers about to put the smack on a combative Kaiden.
