Introductions
Howdy! This is a comm for new and old users alike to introduce themselves and what their hobbies/interests are. This is also a good place to ask questions on anything you'd like to know more about, and generally to get acquainted with Hexbear and its users.
Rule #1: DON'T DOX YOURSELF - Don't post/comment any personal identifying information. Obviously it's ok to talk about yourself, but make sure there is no information that could potentially lead to doxxing yourself.
Rule #2: BE NICE - Assume everyone making a post here is doing so in good faith. Keep in mind that people introducing themselves may have limited knowledge of site history, in-jokes, etc. Also keep in mind that new people might not have the same understanding of leftist theory and/or knowledge of global politics that you do. We were all there once, so it's not a bad thing to be reasonably understanding and patient with new folks. Likewise, for those who are introducing yourselves, please have an open mind, be willing to interact and make friends, and don't come here with the intent to start fights.
Rule #3: DON'T BE A JERK - Any sort of transphobia, racism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of bigotry will lead to an immediate ban. Similarly, harassment, being a creep, "chaser" behavior, or anything else done to make others feel uncomfortable will be dealt with harshly. Also try to keep any fediverse drama to a minimum. It's assumed new users are posting here to make friends and not to wade into any previous or existing conflict between instances, so please be respectful of that.
Rule #4: TRY TO BE HELPFUL - It's encouraged to help newcomers wherever possible, including explaining various aspects of this community, providing helpful resources, sharing similar interests you may have, and suggesting comms that they may be interested in.
Rule #5: USE CONTENT WARNINGS - For anything that might be considered a sensitive topic, please use the spoiler format along with a content warning to give people a heads up on what is being discussed.
If anyone has any feedback or any suggestions for improvement to this comm, don't hesitate to reach out to the mods here. Thanks!

Also, what's your favorite FE game?
Hi :) Difficult question, Sacred Stones has my heart for being the game i played the most and the earliest, So Does FE7 (I actually almost died playign it while going down a stairway and because i was hunched over my came boy i slid painlessly, litterally saving my life.
I loved awakening,
the Switch games have been a harder sell however, Too much non combat things to do and think of.
Yeah, I get that for the switch games, stuff like the monastery isn't everyone's cup of tea (it also does get a bit tedious).
I have yet to play Awakening or Sacred Stones, but I did beat FE7. Quite the event, FE7 literally saving your life.
Fe7's writing is unparalleled in my opinion, there are so many recuitable characters with their own shit going on.
I wish I got to experience more of the supports. I definitely thought the writing was good, especially with characters like Lyn and Hector.
I'll have to try FE7 again eventually, I played so horribly that my lords were doing no damage to the Fire Dragon. On Eliwood Mode. Athos + Canas both using Luna hard carried that final battle.
My brother and i won by grinding the arenas and grinding bosses at any occasion. I think that if you keep at it with the same crew you can get quite a great team. the first time my brother finished the game he had like 7 characters left the rest were all dead. Very hard.
I just finished playing a very broken fe7 run. I said no to variety and had a team of paladins and flyers, canas, Priscilla and mandatory lord. It was easy af, if you wanna make the game super unfair in your advantage try it out sometimes!
Thracia is my fave
I was a bit too young for Thracia so the nostalgia goggles don't fit and i can't enjoy the lower graphics and animations. I am still hoping they remake it for the switch with Genealogy but i am not holding my breath.
If you want to break FE7 just spam the arenas until all characters are level 20 or Lvl 20 evolved at one point your characters are so much above the stats of the enemies you can just grind money until your battery runs out. I did that. For years.
Arena abuse is aways an option but I try to avoid it.
