The Official NeoGAF "Introduce Yourself" Thread

Hi folks, after a long wait I received a membership! In the wait I have managed to fry my gpu on my laptop while making concept art, with stable diffusion, for a game I'm designing.

Otherwise I'm saving up for a new device, and at the moment in the little spare time I have I can play games on an integrated chip with 2gb memory. So I am chilling with baldurs gate games. I'll be on the hunt for games that run on low end systems.

Wishing everyone a happy new year and I pray 2026 will be a great year for everyone.
 
Hey everyone, quite surprised to see my account get activated this morning. Glad to finally be part of the community I've been visiting on and off for a very long time.

I'm 38 and from Canada.

Never been big on actually joining in on online discussions, always been a lurker on forums but I was diagnosed with Epilepsy over the summer so I'm trying to change some things about myself.

Only own a ps5 so that's how I try to enjoy my hobby. Recently started Kingdom Come Deliverance. Don't get a lot of time to game these days. Have 2 young kids so that's my main focus in life right now.

Wild and wacky. I don't even remember when I signed up- but here I am.

Close to 60, been gaming since I was a young'un. Started on an Apple ][+ with cassette and everything in-between since then.

Right now I have a 7900x/5090 setup. Currently playing Cyberpunk (which I decided to wait on until I got a 5090) and having fun with it.
 
Pleasantly surprised to see my account activated today! I've heard about NeoGAF for well over 20 years, back when you had to have an email address that wasn't Gmail, Yahoo, etc. With discussions and forums moving to the big, well known websites, I decided to go back to the roots of the Internet: forums dedicated to specific topics. I've really enjoyed reading the archived threads of people's excitement for game releases that we now view as some of the best, most popular games.
 
Hey there,
surreal to get the account approved on the 31st of December haha. That's gonna be a great start to 2026! :D (Lurked the forums for YEARS).
I'm a 38 year old straight guy from Germany and play almost exclusively on consoles. Own a PS2, 3, 4 Pro and 5 Pro, so pretty much a Sony pony (do the young kids still say that today? Lmao). Own an Xbox OG, 360, Series X, Wii, PSP, Vita and Switch 2 as well!
I love racing games and Gran Turismo is my passion. Other series I like the most and mostly follow: MGS, GOW (Gears and God), Zone of the Enders, Silent Hill, Ace Combat, Forza (Motorsport and Horizon), Burnout and Project Gotham Racing.

Honestly looking so much to engage in discussing beloved games and in sales threads with all of you!

Cheers 🍻
 
Visited GAF today and was quite surprised to see that my account has been approved. So, good day to you all, I guess.

A bit about myself: I'm 35, from Ukraine/Russia (an annexed former Ukrainian territory, lets put it like that), fell in love with gaming after playing Soul Reaver in like 2001 or something.
Owned every PS console except Vita and base PS4, a few gaming PCs, also spent a few years on X360.

Nowadays I play mostly on ps5, sometimes on a laptop (can't be bothered to build a new dedicated gaming PC these days and my laptop runs Total War Warhammer 3 well enough, so i'm satisfied as is).

Anyway, happy New Year people, may 2026 will be less shitty than 2025!

Wow! Didn't think I'd get approved so soon. Thank you!

I'm a 47 yo woman from Chicago. I casually stream for friends, and have been a gamer since I was practically a baby. Survival Horror is my bread and butter, but I also dabble in some RPGs and indies.

Glad to finally be an official part of this community. Cheers!
 
Hello, everyone. I've been following Neogaf as a reader for a while now, but I'm happy to join this community.
For this generation, I'm currently playing on PC, but in the past I've had the Atari 2600, SNES, N64, GBA, GCN, PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, and 360.
I haven't taken the plunge for the PS5 yet because I'm waiting for GTA6 to come out. I'm a big fan of Rockstar Games, especially the GTA games.

Anyway, happy New Year to all.
 
Thanks for approving my account, happy to be here!

I'm 37 and from Germany. I've been reading Gaf for a bit over 10 years and finally wanted to contribute a bit of commentary myself. I play on everything, from retro consoles to retro handhelds and own all the modern platforms. Beginning of 2025 I also build my first gaming PC and I've been enjoying it far more than I thought. I'm mostly disappointed by the industry, but working on my backlog has pushed me through the last couple of years.

I wish you all a happy New Year!
 
Happy New Year!

I have been pretty steadily gaming since Christmas of 1989 when Santa brought my younger brother and me an NES. My favorite genres include RPGs, Factory Sims/Automation games, and some colony builders (namely Rimworld)

I'm currently replaying Dragon Age: Inquisition, because I never got around to playing the Trespasser DLC
 
Hello, I'm a 40 year old from Cuba. I have been lurking this forum for years and finally decided to join. I'm also a member of GameFAQs since probably around 2005 but visited that forum for guides during the ps1 era. My favorite game of all time is Shenmue and my favorite system is the Dreamcast. I was a big fan of Sega over Nintendo since the early 90s. Currently I barely get enough time to game because of my job and sleep schedule. I love the old Bioware (MassEffect1 and Dragon Age Origins); now they suck. The same can be said for other companies that used to be great and now have gone downhill. Anyways enough of my ranting. SEGA!!!
 
Hi everyone! Thank you for approving my account. Been a lurker for a while but I enjoy reading up on the news and discussions on here!

I also love gaming when I have the time! I enjoy JRPG's, action adventures, fighting games, and visual novels games. 😁
 
Salutations, GAF!

I like videogames and long walks on the beach.

I'm here to lower the median IQ of the internet with some of the worst takes you've ever read in your life.

I just hope you find them funny.
 
Hi all, joining from Australia. Dad of 3, finally getting back into gaming and tech.

Primarily enjoy Soulslikes and deck builders, but happily play anything quality. Used to play and be immersed in the gaming space until having my first kid, and now getting more spare time and headspace to get back into it.

Been lurking here for a while and really enjoy the content of the platform and moderation style. Looking forward to being a part and being able to contribute.
 
Howdy, I am an older gamer 55. I can remember playing pong, then had a Atari. As I have gotten older I have stopped paying twitch games, although I still watch my son and give him "pointers" lol. I have been enjoying Taletell games like A wolf among us, Walking Dead and am currently playing Star Treck on the Steam Deck. I have always had all three consoles, but see myself just going with the steam deck and maybe what Xbox has coming up next. I will always have a soft spot for Xbox as the original got me back into gaming, fond memories of Halo Lan parties. I am disappointed with Xbox the last few years. Hoping for the best. I dont post a lot but I am on every day.
A little about myself: I have been married 32 years to the love of my life, 3 kids and two grandchildren. When I am not playing, I am either reading or going to the shooting range. Anyway this is the most I have written in years lol, thanks for the invite.
 
Greetings all and a happy new year

I have been reading the forums for years i think atp

I am mainly interested in all things technology and gaming.

Hope to have some good interactions on here in the coming months or so :)!
