the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the "how was your week" thread isn't a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples' posts aren't getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don't gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this'll be a good way of getting to know all the people you're now on here with

HI all! Another from Reddit. In my mid 40's, west coast US, and was really looking for a community like this.

I was a gaming geek growing up (Commodore 64 through all current gen consoles) and even worked in the industry as a game tester in the late 90's to early 00's. Grew up with an uncle working for IBM in the early 80's and was exposed to REALLY early personal computers when they were not a "thing" yet and I have loved them ever since.

Other hobbies / interests are graphic design, photography, and for work I use AutoCAD and Revit as a designer. It was not what I got a degree in college (graphic design)...but I get paid to draw so I can't complain :)

Looking forward to BeeHaw!
