@victoria You're so welcome. Thankfully the jerks get blocked quickly. Trolls don't last long here.

@victoria Mario is the gateway for so many people to get into games! Dragon Age and Baldurs Gate are my beloveds, and the Ezio trilogy for Assassins Creed. Currently playing Dispatch, but finding free time is ever a challenge XD

[victoria@lgbtqia.space]

@therivercrow oh those are good ones too!! I finished Dispatch not that long ago and loved it. #TeamInvisigal

@victoria Hi Victoria, what kind of sci-fi/ fantasy books do you like? I've recently enjoyed the two Space Dragons novellas by Veo Corva (whom you can also find on Mastodon), and I'm looking forward to continuing the Murderbot series (have read only 4 of the books so far).
Sometimes I read older sci-fi - dipped my toes into the longest running SF serial (Perry Rhodan). I started at the start (1961 pulp, sexist, imperialist etc...) and am curious to explore something modern from that franchise.

@victoria
Do you also read comics? I've started a list of queer comics, on a German bookwyrm instance. (The comics are mostly in English.) Not sure if it's of any interest to you.

@victoria I am also on the forever fitness journey, dreaming of running a marathon some day. What kind of fitness do you do?

[victoria@lgbtqia.space]

@runningoff fitness pizza in my mouth! lol! Which is kinda true but I also do biking and rowing for cardio and mix in weight training as well. Nothing special just trying to keep active after taking some time off from it.

[runningoff@lgbtqia.space]

@victoria bahaha. Nice. I do running and some strength training and swimming and biking occasionally and bouldering very occasionally.

[victoria@lgbtqia.space]

@JonasJRichter I'm not a huge comic book reader, I enjoy them but don't take the time to get into them too much.

Outside of the classics I've more recently been enjoying Andy Weir's work, and I'm in the middle of The Children of Time series and The Captive's War series.

[victoria@lgbtqia.space]

@runningoff bouldering would be very cool. I've been to a few rock climbing gyms in my time and have a blast every time.

[runningoff@lgbtqia.space]

@victoria I don't know where to get the grip strength from and how to practice technique to get good at bouldering. I'd like to be able to do more than brute-forcing 5 problems and then being exhausted after 30 minutes.

[victoria@lgbtqia.space]

@runningoff resisting immature grip strength joke

[runningoff@lgbtqia.space]

@victoria oh get a grip

[victoria@lgbtqia.space]

@runningoff That is the goal
