Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Gardening! I actually shared a thread on gardening, but I removed it because I didn't want to just 'assume' people liked gardening Garden Club

@romanempress

@tyme

sorry to butt into your conversation just wanted to chat. I have only ever finished 3 video games, SKYRIM, Ageo of Empires and Final Fantasy XII. Am very much a novice gamer but do not have a garden so could not really contribute to other conversations.

Cheers

@romanempress @tyme

Roman Empress, am very impressed. Tried last of us 1 and got to the firs major fight scene before failing badly with limited ammo. The other games sound equally challenging although I did alright at tomb raider, it is a classic.

how much time do you spend gaming, it is less now for me but while trying to blast my way through some games it could be 6 or 8 hours a day. Some may think that unhealthy, but at 58 they say we should keep our brains busy, i think

Cheers anyway

Yeah the games are hard for sure. It gets easier with practice. Definitely good for neuroplasticity!

I don't play much, kids, work etc

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

I don't and haven't played any of those games @romanempress @Alittleorange .

When I watch people play X-Box or playstation now, my head goes dizzy. It wasn't those 'innocent' Mario Bros games or Pokemon.. these new games are totally beyond me.

@Alittleorange , no worries about 'butting' in. I don't see it as butting in, but rather, adding your valuable contribution 🙂

@rav3n

Thankyou for the tag!

I was actually haha, I introduced my parents to it and soon enough we were one of those families driving around the museum carpark at midnight for pokeballs and rare spawns while we ate maccas hehe. Gosh I miss those days. I'm currently getting into the new app, Pokemon TCG Pocket, it's basically the digital version of opening the card packets. Very low stress, im enjoying it 🙂
