RE: Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Hobbies)

in #contest6 years ago (edited)

Whoa! I actually won an SBI share? Awesome! Thank you! :D

As for my hobbies... I'm an adult, and I love gaming too! (despite being visually impaired and needing a sighted person by my side to help me most of the time) I'm in the process of writing a series of posts about the video games that impacted my life (this linked post is a bit old but is the latest one I've written about it and has links to the previous posts in the series. I really need to put the next part together...).

I played many kinds of games, and particularly liked games based on anime and with lots of voice acting (preferably in Japanese), puzzle games (like Bust-a-Move), some platformers (like Kirby and Mega Man). Now I'm leaning towards games that don't require superb reflexes such as turn-based RPGs (like Pokemon and the Persona series. Mostly into Persona right now. Literally bought a PS4 just so I could play Persona 5). I love games with immersive plots and lots of character development. These kind of games give me so much to think about, and the characters really feel alive. I also don't like when the game ends, and the story ends... but that's where fan fictions come in! Additional events, alternative scenarios, other versions of the story with different twists, and whatever else other fans come up with. Possibilities are endless. Reading and writing fan fiction is another hobby of mine, linked to the gaming one.

Since we are at it, another hobby that I've been developing recently is... playing the violin! I don't know why, but already as an adult, I suddenly fell in love with the sound of the violin. I found the sound so beautiful that I decided I'd somehow have to learn to play it! And this was how a 26 to 27 year-old adult visually impaired woman began taking weekend violin lessons three years ago :P . Currently doing fourth position exercises from the Shinozaki Violin Method book volume 3. Not much time to practice, just around one hour maximum in my free time after work (which has nothing to do with music), but I'm advancing at my own pace, and I think it's good enough for me, and for a hobby...

Whoa! let me check... Yes you did!

Haha, anyway, I'm glad you are also a gamer! Although, I see from your post that you are an evil console gamer!!!! BOOOOOO, PC gaming is the TRUE gaming... hehehhe!

I love the persona series, I was really into it with the Nintendo DS and also the PSP. I have a Switch, and so I'm really really hoping they will release something on it...

Funnily enough, I'm a violinist as well!

I'm evil! Mwahahahaha!

Persona series and violin, yesss!

Have you played Persona 5 yet? I played Persona 3 and 4 on PS2, then Persona 5 on PS4. I've started Persona Q on the 3DS but didn't get too far. Now I'm waiting for the Persona rhythm games, and wondering whether it'll be possible to memorize the note charts for each song, kind of like I have to memorize the violin exercises XD .

Not Persona, but it looks like the next SMT ("Shin Megami Tensei," not "Smart Media Tokens!" :P ) will come out for the Switch.

No Switch for me yet, still waiting for the price to lower. Since there's no longer an official distributor for Nintendo products over here in Brazil, all Switches on sale here are imports, and cost around $2,000 BRL (around $500 USD!). Maybe next year...

Wow, that is a touch expensive! It's weird that Brazil doesn't have a distribution channel, I knew that phones were expensive, but Nintendo? They are around 250 euro here.

I haven't had a go yet at Persona 5, is it on switch?

Now that you mention it, I think I was playing smt and not persona. I keep getting the two confused!

Brazil used to have an official distribution channel, but Nintendo left because of the absurdly high taxes (and probably other issues too).

Persona 5 is on PS3 and PS4.
