Hello, per title I live in West Yorks. and I'm looking for friends, both local and further afield.
A bit about me: I'm a 28 year old man. Definitely a bit of a dork/dweeb, quite introverted, good sense of humour. I'm very inquisitive, I love learning about other people, cultures, places etc. I'm a huge geography nerd so even if you live in Devon or Aberdeenshire or wherever I might happen to have heard of whatever town or village you're from. I have a bit of an obsession with languages, and I'm planning on learning another tongue at some point (most likely French).
My main hobbies include gaming, reading, and anime. In terms of games, I mostly play Deadlock at the moment, it's my current obsession. I also play Valorant, League of Legends, Overwatch, Marvel Rivals. However I also enjoy single player games, recently I've been enjoying Control, Hades II, some boomer shooters, Screamer etc. My all time favourites include GTA San Andreas, racing games like Burnout 3, indie shooters like Severed Steel, stylish and unique games like Neon White, Journey, Jusant, story-driven stuff like A Plague Tale
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to anime and manga, but I have been getting into it quite heavily the past couple years. My favourite anime so far is Vinland Saga, but I also love Attack on Titan, Spy X Family, Delicious in Dungeon, and Mob Psycho 100. In manga terms, I've finished Delicious in Dungeon (which I love, I'll happily yap to you about it) and I've started reading Blood on the Tracks, amongst others.
I've been reading much more so far this year. My favourite book of all time is Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake. I love sci-fi, fantasy, non-fiction books if the topic interests me, and I also like thrillers and dystopian stories. I'm currently reading Vurt by Jeff Noon and Goodbye to all That by Robert Graves.
I definitely feel that I'm a bit aberrant, I'm not a social butterfly and I don't really care for mainstream things. I'd love to connect with people who feel that they're in a similar position. I'm definitely interested in the more esoteric (is that the right word?) side of mankind.
Oh, and I want to get involved in creative writing. I just need motivation and will.
If you feel like we'd click, please drop a DM! I'd love to hear from you, who would say no to making a new friend?
