Hi there, all. I'm thelucky7th, but I usually go by Lucky! It's been a while since I've been on a forum, and I just happened across this one on the official forums and thought it seemed chill enough that maybe even someone as anxious as me could find myself posting around, lol. I'll have to try and remember all the ins and outs of posting on forums again, but I'm sure it's like riding a bike in that you never really forget, right?;;
As far as introductions go... I enjoy creating digital art! I've got plenty of room to improve, but I've been trying to focus more on my growth within the last few years. I also dabble in writing (role playing used to be my go to hobby), but I don't do it so much these days, and when I do, it's usually shorter pieces. Most of what I create is for my original characters, either completely original or tying into pre-existing series... My current focus has been Splatoon (video game), so I hope it's not too odd if I share some of that art! I have a small backlog of things to share, as long as that's not an issue~ My avatar can serve a a sneak peek for that, though it's not really my usual style.
Aside from that, I do enjoy video games (particularly RPGs), like watching anime (sometimes) and gaming streams (more often), and my favorite animal is the platypus!

Hi Lucky!
Welcome to Serene Distraction! I'm so happy you decided to join us! We've been around for a long time and recently we've been actively trying to get the word out there about our small but great community. Our Digital Art section could use a bit more love so I'm really glad to see that you enjoy creating digital art!
What are some of your favorite video games? That's interesting that your favorite animal is the platypus. I don't know much about them other than they appear to be a mixture of a beaver and duck. Aren't they poisonous too? I can't recall. I remember watching Steve Irwin highlighting them in one episode of the crocodile hunter.

Hi Lucky! Welcome to Serene Distraction! I'm so happy you decided to join us! We've been around for a long time and recently we've been actively trying to get the word out there about our small but great community. Our Digital Art section could use a bit more love so I'm really glad to see that you enjoy creating digital art! Thank you so much! Lately I've really been feeling burned out by modern social media. So much is driven by The Algorithm, it can be hard to feel like you're being heard or seen. I've been longing for the sort of community you find in places like these... I'd really like for there to be a sort of forum renaissance! And not just because I can't keep my thoughts under 250 characters! I'll be happy to give the Digital Art section some love. I'm a bit of a slower creator, but my personal goal has been to make at least one finished piece a month, and I've been keeping it up pretty well. I like a lot of Nintendo games. Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Pokemon, the new Metroid Dread looks like a lot of fun, too! And I also enjoy JRPGs like Tales series (Tales of Symphonia is my favorite), Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy, though I don't have a lot of time for beating those these days.
Yes! They all have spurs on their rear legs, but only males have venomous ones. Did you know the females feed their young by "sweating" milk? Haha. They're very interesting being one of the few egg laying mammals, along with echidnas. I'd love to see one in person one day, but I'm not sure going all the way too Australia is in the cards, so I'll just have to settle for my stuffed animal and toy versions for now. Hello Lucky and welcome, hope that you enjoy it here. Thank you, LBJ. I hope I enjoy it here as well!

Welcome aboard, Lucky! I hope you enjoy this place . And yes, I totally agree with your points about modern social media. It's all curated by the algorithm and has no sense of community... just doesn't have the cosy feeling that a good old forum has .

Social media is definitely a lot more interested in making people argue or feel negatively since that's what generates the most "engagement" and it's awful! There are certainly places you can find community, but a lot of it is so fast paced, which is what makes forums so nice since it feels like there's plenty of time to get in on a conversation, even if you're not there in the moment.

Oh wow does that mean you have a Nintendo Switch? I do too. We've had Breath of the Wild forever but I haven't taken the chance to really dive into it. My husband has beaten it though.
I recently purchased Final Fantasy 7 and absolutely love it so far. I never actually played it back when it was released originally for Playstation.

I recently purchased Final Fantasy 7 and absolutely love it so far. I never actually played it back when it was released originally for Playstation. Yep! I really enjoyed Breath of the Wild! It's a lot different from the other Zelda games, but it was very fun to explore everything! I'm excited to play the sequel once it comes out! I have the remake, but I haven't had the time to play it yet. I never played the original because we didn't have a lot of money for games or systems back then, but I bought the PC port for it a few years back. Got all the way up to "disk two" before my computer crashed and I lost my save, haha. :')
Hey there, and welcome... Hey, scooter! Thank you!

Oh no that must have been devastating to lose your save! I've got a toddler so gaming time is very limited. I'm probably only 20 minutes into Final Fantasy 7. lol

Maybe one day I'll get back to it, haha. Finding time to game (or do much of anything) with a toddler is definitely a challenge! No kids of my own, but I've helped raise both my siblings and know it's demanding! Fortunately they're both old enough now to enjoy some independence and to be trusted not to cause chaos if I'm not checking up on them constantly!
