<p>You should regularly update your introduction post, so that's what I'm doing.</p><p>You can call me Bob, and I'm a thirty-something year old living on Awabakal land (Newcastle) in Australia.</p><p>I came to the Fediverse because I valued, and wanted, conversation rather than "engagement". Kindness over the rabid hatred and bigotry that existed over on Twitter.</p><p>I liked it so much I decided to start an instance. And that's where we are now.</p><p>The main thing I talk about here is video games. I'm a fan of pretty much all gaming genres, but some of my favourites from over the years are:</p><p>Tomb Raider<br>Dragon Age<br>Cities: Skylines<br>Future Cop: LAPD<br>Transport Fever</p><p>I game on Linux!</p><p>I have a wonderful wife <span class="h-card"><a href="https://masto.fediverse.games/@Jamies" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Jamies</span></a></span>, and a lot of animals. We have two cats, Pumpkin & Nutmeg, and three greyhounds, Waffle, Tim Tam & Fairy Floss.</p><p>I'm passionately anti-greyhound racing, and have fostered five rescued greyhounds in 2025 as of this post (including Floss who is a foster fail). Greyhounds are a really special breed of dog and they do not deserve the abuse, pain and needless deaths they endure every day as part of the industry.</p><p>I'm also passionately anti-bigotry, and I need to get better at verbalising it. I've watched on in shock as the world has taken lurch toward bigotry, racism, homophobia and transphobia. People should have the right to be who they authentically are without fearing being abused, attacked, or eliminated as we're seeing in the USA right now.</p><p>I'm also recently diagnosed with ADHD, which was a long time coming and a deep relief for me. I'd always felt as though something wasn't quite right in life, and that just living seemed harder for me than it is for many people around me. Understanding ADHD and how dopamine works in the body suddenly made my life make so much sense.</p><p>I'm unashamedly empathic, and will reach out if I see someone struggling. I won't take offence if you tell me to leave you alone.</p><p><a href="/tags/videogames/" rel="tag">#VideoGames</a> <a href="/tags/adhd/" rel="tag">#ADHD</a> <a href="/tags/greyhounds/" rel="tag">#Greyhounds</a> <a href="/tags/cats/" rel="tag">#Cats</a> <a href="/tags/awabakal/" rel="tag">#Awabakal</a> <a href="/tags/newcastleau/" rel="tag">#NewcastleAU</a> <a href="/tags/tombraider/" rel="tag">#TombRaider</a> <a href="/tags/citiesskylines/" rel="tag">#CitiesSkylines</a> <a href="/tags/linuxgaming/" rel="tag">#LinuxGaming</a> <a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#Introduction</a></p>
<p>Hey all! My name is Tyler. I want to share a little <a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> post. It's so nice to be here!

<p>In an effort to keep my Mastodon profile a bit cleaner and not overloaded with a bunch of pinned old posts that people have to scroll through to see my recent activity, I decided to copy them over to PreemChrome, unpin those posts from my profile here, and now I will just pin this one to my profile. </p><p>So, for anybody looking for my <a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> posts or to learn more about me, head to PreemChrome and you can learn more!</p><p><a href="https://preemchro.me/About/masto-pinned-posts" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="preemchro.me/About/masto-pinned-posts"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">preemchro.me/About/masto-pinne</span><span class="invisible">d-posts</span></a></p><p>I've heard chatter over the last couple of weeks about profiles with too many pinned posts, and I've got PreemChrome, so I figured why not clean things up and put it to good use? This way I don't have to keep those old posts hanging around on the off-chance that someone visits my profile. And hey, maybe they'll find some more interesting stuff on PreemChrome that floats their boat, eh? Can't hurt!</p>

I am incredibly weird so sometimes it's hard to tell if something I did is a shitpost.

<p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> </p><p>Time for another introduction.</p><p>I'm one of those fucked-up human experiments the CIA got up to in the 70s. I was never allowed any social support or validation. About the only messaging I've gotten from my people is, "fuck off and die", and it generally wasn't delivered gently. It was delivered on the end of a boot.</p><p>I got the ninja childhood and was supposed to be an assassin for the intelligence agencies. They had me brutalized from birth to toughen me up. They went too far, though. I got tough enough to solve my problems without violence. I have a fifty year track record of peaceful conflict resolution. I'm not a pacifist, it's just the violence usually causes the next problem.</p><p>The last time I tried to "do", rather than simply "be", I tried to go to Liberia to get kidnapped by a warlord. I'm fully confident I could have talked my way out of that situation, but they wouldn't sell me a ticket. I ended up bottoming out in South Africa, a country with 7x the US murder rate and a flourishing arms industry. Spent a month or two on the streets and in homeless shelters. I did fine. I generally get respect in proportion to how dangerous somebody actually is. I've known a lot of very, very dangerous people in my day. I'm one of those people who lives outside the law and follows his own moral code. I'm allowed to do any crime I want and I know I'll never see the inside of a courtroom. I have a head full of state secrets that can never be spoken on any kind of formal record. I just don't want to crime. I mastered that shit as a teenager. It's why they were never able to entrap and enslave me. I just want a little life now. I spend my life drunk, and alone in a room.</p><p>So I'm pretty legendary among the world's spooks. And, for some reason I haven't figured out, Hollywood. That has something to do with role models, and the fact that atheists aren't allowed to be one, at least until recently. Feel free to shed some light if you know. Monty Python's "Life of Brian" was named after me, and Luke Skywalker's vague hero's journey was another projection of how my life might turn out. The Eric Cartman character is who Stone and Parker expected me to be--I was the onliest of only children, and raised by the whore the state used to neutralize my father--but I used to smoke weed with their drug dealer and they found out I'm a solidly decent guy. I pretty much only and always operate out of positive motivations, so they elevated Butters. I'm Butters.</p><p>Lately, there's been a rash of entertainment inspired by me. The movie "Nobody" was so overtly about me it's how I learned I inspire movies. I wrote half of that one and did the other half. Ryan Gosling seems to have taken a shine to me--"The Grey Man" and "The Fall Guy" are basically giant Easter Eggs about my life. Ryan Gosling is what I would look like if I was pretty. Really, I'm like the Kevin Spacey character from 'American Beauty'. I test high for forgettability. It's a useful trait in an assassin. I'm also dead silent when I walk. I recently accidentally snuck up on a pit bull and got bit. Ninja. Anyhoo, the Black Mirror episode "Joan is Awful" is about how I've been character assassinated. Hell, they even fictionalized my old girlfriend into a movie called "Class Rank".</p><p>Every time they try to take me out and I come out on top, my legend grows. Last time, they had me hit by an SUV by fucking with the traffic lights. Multiple fractures of multiple vertebrate at both impact points, but I reacted like a stunt man and presented my back flat to the bumper. This way I didn't torsion and didn't suffer any nerve damage. I didn't know about the traffic light thing yet, but I have good instincts in high stress situations and could tell it wasn't the drunk kid's fault, so I told her to get out of there before she got jammed up with the law. I just went home and sat still in a chair for a couple months. It knocked an inch and a half off my height, but I'm still walking.</p><p>These days I walk around in the center of a web of local and federal agents. I understand. I'm extremely dangerous. They literally don't make people as dangerous as me any more. Clinton canceled the ninja program. I choose not to be dangerous, but they're worried I might choose otherwise someday. What I chose was to be a scholar and a philosopher. I'm an autodidactic polymath who's been at it for over forty years now. I'm hyperlexical and started reading Stephen King in second grade. I read "The Executioner's Song" in fourth and "The World According to Garp" in fifth. I'm a little weak on the math based side of life because I need a teacher for that, but I did pass calculus without much effort. Twice.</p><p>I'm as close to Diogenes the Cynic as you'll get for somebody who grew up with indoor plumbing. He's the waybackest person of which I know that had it figured out.</p><p>Oh, and I know my way around a computer. I worked in tech three blocks South of Wall Street.</p><p>Oh yeah! I'm better at getting high than most people you'll meet. I once took 1200 mics of old-school LSD 25 and rode it just fine.</p><p>This probably reads like crazy talk, but it's all true. It's who I am. It's my identity, and sometimes I just have to sing out. I'm still not allowed any social support or validation. I'm not even allowed a therapist. Just rotgut vodka, qBittorrented movies, and some video games that I'm too old and drunk to play well. I have one autistic friend who helps me, and I read books over the phone to a blind Indian. That's my life.</p><p>I miss women. I was good at love. I fall easily and am totally honest and open about it. I'm totally straight but gender-queer. I'd say I'm 55% yin to 45% yang.</p><p>For now I'm working on getting a cat. I want some goddamn thing to love. Wish me luck.</p><p>This guy also got the ninja childhood. His government did the same kind of shit to him as a kid that mine did to me. You can kinda tell he's more than just a performer, he's got real fire in his belly.

<p>My name is Sashin.</p><p>I am functioning as a software developer but I am an aspiring writer.</p><p>I am passionate about clear communication, left-wing politics (anarchism, human rights and anti-bigotry), free software and animal rights.</p><p>I want to develop a deep understanding about how the world works, spread that knowledge and work towards making it a better place.</p><p>I love anime and manga.</p><p>My favourite manga is <a href="/tags/onepiece/" rel="tag">#onepiece</a> which I have been reading every week since I was in highschool. </p><p>My favourite anime is probably The Tatami Galaxy. </p><p>I also like Ping Pong the Animation, Kino's Journey, Cowboy Bebop, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, Gintama and many others.</p><p>I am have been learning Japanese largely on my own for the last five years. I've changed around how I have been approaching it, but have settled on immersion (lots of watching and listening to content in the language) as the best way. </p><p>I do flashcards everyday using Anki, where I learn ten new words and review words I already know and I am basically always listening to something in Japanese so long as I am not interacting with people or doing something that commands a lot of attention (so while walking, cleaning, cooking etc I am always listening, I also have a shower speaker). I don't do anything every special with my attention when immersing, I think the subconscious is where the magic of language acquisition happens.</p><p>I also love video games, I have a steam deck which I have more or less perpetually docked and connected to my housemate's projector. My favourite game is probably Undertale. I also love The Witcher 3, The Legend of Zelda and Hollow Knight.</p><p>Anyway it's nice to meet everyone!</p><p>よろしくお願いします！</p><p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> <a href="/tags/intro/" rel="tag">#intro</a> <a href="/tags/introductions/" rel="tag">#introductions</a></p>
