    For context: I'm going from southern California to Salt Lake City, Utah, and I'm moving for work. I've never lived alone for an extended period of time before. I figure I've got a handle on it, but there's always something that I forget or don't know, so I'd like to ask you all for advice.

    Ain't no one talked GURPS yet and that's a shame. It has rules for basically any setting you want - high fantasy, sci fi, modern, your weird custom setting, you name it. Build a character with basically any power set you like. No rolling stats up - you basically purchase your character using a set amount of points, some for stats, some for skills, and some for advantages and disadvantages. Systems are relatively simple, most actions involving just one kind of roll. If you want more I highly recommend Chris Normand's videos on the subject on YouTube.

    Since most of the guys I watch have already been mentioned I'm going to rep my boy Threefold, who's a highly underrated modded player with very well edited videos. Usually he does solo playthroughs of big modpacks, but currently he's doing an SMP series with two other modded players. What amazes me is that the dude only has 47k subscribers, minuscule considering the quality of his work.

    My first mechanical keyboard is a Keychron K3 Pro with linear switches that I backed on Kickstarter. Pretty nice. Took some getting used to from my old membrane keyboard but I vastly prefer it now

    Call me ZK. Moving soon. Software engineer, gamer, hobby artist and music producer. I tend to keep my head down. Started looking at Tildes a while ago as a place to be that wasn't as rage-inducing as every other social media platform I was using at the time; only got the gumption to join up yesterday.

    Yeah, yeah, I've got a nine year history on Reddit, and I dumpstered it because I can't use RIF anymore.
