#forgottenrealms — Public Fediverse posts

For example, the #ForgottenRealms world of Toril has the continent of Maztica to serve as its repository for Mesoamerican tropes; to fill the same niche #Greyhawk's Oerth has the Olmans and #Mystara's Hollow World has the creatively-named Azcans.

None of these cultures are exactly like each other or like IRL indigenous peoples of Mexico; they are different enough to seem like foreign countries to each other, but they all look similar if compared to the medieval "baselines" of their worlds.

ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔᜶ (Mabuhay!) I'm 스노 (雪亮 Yuki), an #ASEAN from the #Philippines, the “Pearl of the Orient Seas”.

I am an #OpenlyAutistic #Xennial #INFP person. It was #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo (#이상한변호사우영우) and #InnocentWitness (#증인) which gave me the courage to say, “enough is enough” with all the discrimination, prejudice, and stigma about #Autism and #ActuallyAutistics.

Furthermore, I strongly believe in #FreeCulture (under which are #CreativeCommons, #OpenKnowledge, #FLOSS, and related). You will also occasionally see me sharing and talking about #Privacy and #Security.

My first #Fediverse identity was in 2008, when it was still called #identiverse (the former was coined sometime 2010–2012). I used to run a public #Friendica instance for the Philippines, and had my own solo #Hubzilla instance. (#DidYouKnow The Philippines is the #SNS capital of the world since 2008. [1] [2])

I love to read #books. My first was Book 5 of the original #CYOA entitled, “The Mystery of Chimney Rock” when I was around four (I still have the book somewhere with a missing cover). By fourteen, I enjoyed reading a non-fiction book entitled simply as “Brain”, and dreamed of becoming a neuroscientist, which sadly remained a dream.

My longest read were #PeterFHamilton's “Pandora's Star” and “Judas Unchained” (more or less 1,000 pages each). My number one favourite is #LynnKurland's “Dreams of Stardust” (I even bought every copy I saw and gave it away).

When it comes to genre, I read anything. In the classics, I love #JaneEyre by Charlotte Brontë. I also read #NeilGaiman's “American Gods”. But I do have genres I favour more than others: #ScienceFiction and #Fantasy. To be more specific, science fiction and fantasy with #TimeTravel and #ParallelWorld elements, if the author can combine it together, even better (like Lynn Kurland's novels: #scifi + fantasy + #romance and sometimes with #paranormal too).

That said, my taste in live-action shows is somewhat similar. And the more complex and/or engaging the story is, the more I love it. Some examples are:

#Sports. I am a #runner. Well, not a professional runner. I run for #health and #fitness. I am also planning on doing #cycling again (my last was during my High School years). My first love was #football, or what Americans call #soccer. I also love #swimming, but what is close and dear to me is #Archery, in particular classic Asian archery, and Japanese archery called #Kyudo (#弓道 #きゅうどう #Kyujutsu). A must.

#Games? This one is a long history. Who doesn't love games, right? To sum it up, I started with Nintendo's “Game & Watch”, then “Family Computer”. I also was able to experience playing in Atari and MSX; as well as table-top #arcade machines. My favourite games are: “Super Mario Bros.”, “#Bomberman”. As well as, “Curse of the Azure Bonds” (#ForgottenRealms) and the Krynn series (#DragonLance) by TSR, “Sim Farm”, “Sim City”, “#PrinceOfPersia”, “#ManiacMansion”, “Neverwinter Nights”, “Eye of the Beholder”, “#Ultima” series, and the Carmen Sandiego franchise, for the PC. (*cough*Digger*cough*)

In modern #gaming, I highly recommend #GuildWars2, #StarTrekOnline, #Neverwinter, and the open-source #rhythm game, #Quaver.

For extended reality, or XR, games, I play #Ingress, #PikminBloom, #Orna, and #Qonqr; sometimes #PokemonGo.

Last, but definitely not the least, I am a #Natsari as defined in Acts 24. It means that I believe in the #Torah and the #Messiah.
