My favorite TV show is: Riverdale. What's this show about? I saw that they had one of the free comic books on Free Comic Book Day, but know little else about it other than the generic cast photo that Netflix uses for the show on its menu.

Other interests of mine include: Learning languages and the such. How easy do you believe it would be for an American in their mid 20s to learn German? This is the most asked (and perhaps the most hated) question asked in language learning circles, and the answer always chalks up to ‘it depends.’ Theoretically speaking, both languages are West Germanic, and you’ll find that the pronunciation is not particularly difficult to learn, besides some new sounds. Grammar may be uncharted territory for you, however, as German has multiple cases, and gendered nouns (Feminine, Masculine and Neutral.) Realistically, that should be of minimal importance in considering whether or not you want to pursue learning the language. If your interest in German culture and the language is minimal, however, you may never find yourself never exactly exceeding the linguistic abilities of a novice. On the other hand, if you have a serious interest, or even a passion, in all things Germany, you’ll find yourself seriously immersed in the language. It all depends on your connection, really. Language learning quite literally affects our cognition, as well as how we view other cultures. People, discovering their inclination for a language and its culture, have changed careers, or at the very least have developed lifelong passions. Given this, it’s a very personal endeavor to undertake, and YMMV. TL;DR: not too hard tbh, download duolingo and turn on some Krautrock

Post by rom on May 19, 2018 14:19:36 GMT -5
Hello! My name is: Rom
I started playing NS: In 2012 when some of my RL friends wanted me to join their region they had made. We had like 7 or 8 of my classmates on NS at the time, and our region had over 100 nations in it. By around 2014, our region was interested in joining the FRA, so I decided to join TRR so that I could be in the RRA. Right now like 3 of my RL friends still play NS today, and they mostly do RP.
I joined Fort Triumph because: I joined Fort Triumph mostly because it seems like a fun region, and I had heard about it the last time it was active, but I never joined then.
My favorite band/musician is: Probably MISSIO. They are a alternative group, and they are soooo good. Like literally all of their songs are incredibly good.
My favorite song is: Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden
My favorite movie is: I've always liked the first Ghostbusters movie, all the other do not exist.
My favorite game is: Nationstates, obviously.
My favorite TV show is: The Good Place. It is such a well written show, and it is very enjoyable. I also really like the Santa Clarita Diet as well. That show is so funny, and I can't wait for the 3rd season of that show.
My favorite book is: I haven't read any books in the last couple months, as I've been busy with college and whatnot, but my favorite book is probably LOTR.
Other interests of mine include: I'm a big HP nerd, and I love binge watching Netflix. Right now I'm watching Bojack Horseman, Black Mirror, rewatching the Office, and Mindhunters. I just finished watching the 2nd season of A Series of Unfortunate Events, and I liked that season much better than the 1st one.
The greatest Trilogy or Saga of all time is: Probably Star Wars.
Who shot first: Han or Greedo?: Han without a doubt, although it is a damn shame that the true Sith Lord Jar Jar Binks was not involved in that scene, as he would have easily shot first.
The best flavor of Mountain Dew is: I personally am a big fan of Baja Blast, that stuff is so good.
What I am most looking forward to: Transferring from the community college I'm at now to a four year uni
Anything else we should know about you?: N/A
What question(s) should we add to this?: Favorite Candy
