• Winger, mid 30s, she/her, Australian. There are few things I love more than being told stories, and occasionally I engage in story-telling as a strange side-effect. I'm especially interested in filling up my reading page with people sharing their writing journeys and/or media commentary, and if I subscribe out of the blue it's usually because I think it would be fun to follow along.
• Mostly a media musing blog, occasional observations from life. I keep chatter about my work under private access these days but if you ask I'll likely grant it - and you certainly don't have to ask permission to comment or unsubscribe! Some key tags include:
→ paperwork: general chatter
→ fiction: all writing
→ media roundup: commentary on recent media
• There are many things that spark my enthusiasm, some of which I've written for. A short list of things you'll always grab my interest with include:
→ Video games: Fallout: New Vegas, Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Destiny, Soma, Uncharted, Pillars of Eternity, Inside, A House of Many Doors
→ Books: His Dark Materials, The Old Kingdom trilogy, CJ Cherryh, Realm of the Elderlings, Yoon Ha Lee, Tamora Pierce, Animorphs, Books of the Raksura, Matthew Swift, sci-fi and unusual fantasy in general
→ TV: Orphan Black, Dirk Gently, Person of Interest, Young Justice, TMNT 2k3, Infinity Train, Killjoys, The Wire
→ Animanga: Ergo Proxy, BLAME!, Fullmetal Alchemist, Darker Than Black, Wolf Children, Mob Psycho 100
→ Comics: Spider-Man, Unsounded, Widdershins, The Property of Hate
• I track my video game playing at GG.
• I'm arkosic on AO3 and PS4, and you can catch me over at darkwingerduck on Tumblr.

Date: 2021-09-29 10:29 pm (UTC)I see we like a lot of the same games, I'm pretty heavy into Destiny and have been enjoying it so far. Have you played Destiny 1 or 2? Also I always love Inquisition! Oh my, the amount of hours I've put into that game. A lot of it was story
but I've also used the character creation to depict my fictional characters toohehe. I can't wait for the next one. I need to research and see Bioware is working on another.no subject
Date: 2021-10-01 07:11 am (UTC)I've played both the main storylines of Destiny 1 and 2, yes! And a couple of the rolling expansions. I'm very behind at the moment though, sadly; MMOs require a level of constant commitment I'm just not great at when it comes to video games. I still keep an eye on the approximates of what's going on though, as I have friends who are still very involved in the fandom, and I'll always be fond it.
I believe Dragon Age 4 is in the works, but it still seems a bit of a mystery as to when it will be released and what it will look like...

Ugh it's so true. Some MMOs require so much attention, but Destiny has so much 'fear of missing out' with the seasons. The lore has got me so hooked though so I understand what you mean. Hubby and I watch 'My Name is Byf', on youtube, from time to time to catch up on past/current Destiny lore. He's very informative about it.
I wonder what's up with it being more surrounded in mystery. I guess it could be for many reasons

But yesss, the lore is so good!! I've never gotten into Byf myself but I kicked my heels around a Tumblr circle for a while that likes to untangle things c: Do you have a favourite substory in the setting?
I fear they are mostly development hell delay reasons [teeth emoji]. With luck there will still be an enjoyable game at the end of it all.
