I'm Lyrenhex - or just Lyren, for short - and I'm a netizen with a wide array of interests; I stream on Twitch (where I attained Affiliate on 14th July 2019), appreciate a very wide array of good music, and attempt to learn Classical Latin (along with, to a lesser extent, Greek). My primary motivator, however, remains Computer Science, being my academic subject of interest and my career path (fun fact: I first got into CS via my love of games, but I was quickly disillusioned from that career path...).
As an individual, I'm autistic and try to raise awareness of how autism affects people on my Twitter Mastodon,
along with addressing issues that come to my attention or
just sharing my enthusiasm about new games or expansions. It's very much random what I talk about,
but I'd
like to make it clear that I support people's rights to a fulfilling life, and will happily
point out
that Black Lives Matter, trans rights are human rights, and that none of this should be a
problem
regardless of what month it is.
I appreciate a wide variety of games, from Doom to Skyrim - but I have a particular preference for role-playing games.
(Shout outs to the Soulsborne games - possibly my favourite set of games, if I'm honest; Elder Scrolls Online; The Witcher 3; and Destiny 2. Plus, the Nier series deserves a mention here too. What can I say? I like games.)
If you're interested in a totally objective and accurate opinion on which games I really vibed
with each year (based on release), then how fortunate that I've already given that some thought:
(Some were very difficult to determine, and your opinion may differ, which is okay. 🙂)
But when autistic people are asking you to listen, you need to listen.
