You can call me VinTJ/Vin. "TJ" is preferred if you want to be close, but I don't really mind much~

In most cases, I just wanna talk with you shortly regarding something I saw on steam for games I care about, and you don't allow comments on your profile and steam only allows messages between friends or group members. So I had to resort to this; adding you directly before starting a chat . Do send me a message asking for the reason though! (before I forget)

Leave a comment on my profile saying how you met me and why you wanna be friends! I will consider them all, but more likely to accept if we played in a match together on some game, or if we've interacted before on twitter/other socials! I normally WON'T accept friend requests from people who don't leave comments on my profile!

That's great, but I normally won't accept. I like being able to chat with party members and Epic doesn't have chat feature! So use your steam account, then add me via steam!

-is a cis dude
-Age: 23 (oh god I'm dying soon )
-Birthday: 17th of February. hoping no one actually checks this.
-Currently occupied with: College (Psychology Major) , not sure I've made the right choice at this point due to the amount of work and reading, but I DO LIKE psychology and studied Sociology in High School and really liked it.


- Mostly plays Indie games, especially story-based / action ones. But a lot of roguelites are among my all-time favorites that you'll see me play every once in a while. Wholesome games also interest me on the account of them being artsy and super creative sometimes and often indie-produced, but it's not like I mind non-wholesome games!

- I don't really have a strong preference to genres of games, but I tend to avoid traditional horror (since I don't like jumpscares) and spec-heavy games since my laptop normally can barely run AAA games released after 2013/2014 . I'd say I'm mostly geared towards action with story being a close 2nd. I now have a decent gaming PC so I'm looking forward to trying some AAAs.

- Games I love are in the Game Collector Showcase! (please feel free to talk about them with me!)
First showcase has games with stories I liked a lot, while second showcase has roguelite/arcade/any replayable comfort games!

-I used to often leave serious and helpful game reviews in the past, but sometimes I don't if I wasn't thinking of "what should I say in the review" while playing. I rarely update old reviews so if it's short, I don't intend to analyze it's design choices. Also, I try to review every game BUT I often forget / got distracted / feels like it's too much work to boot up certain games, hence my next point:

- Games Backlogger. I have a large backlog (common steam phenomenon, where you buy a lot of games during sale and some gets unplayed / only played a super small amount of time). I want to finish them, but sometimes the thought just overwhelms me. I'm not 100% a completionist but the existence of achievements sometimes MAKE me not want to finish games I've bought, instead choosing to repetitively play roguelites.

- "What should I do if I wanna gift you games?" like that would ever happen lol : so if you plan to suddenly be nice and gift me games, you need to know that there are literally ~1800+ Indie games I care about at this point.
I have 2 tiers of Priority : Wishlist and "Followed" Games. Wishlist normally has ~30-70 games and this means "I want to buy these games ASAP, they are interesting to me" . They might get re-ordered whenever, and their order signifies how much I am interested (meaning, the #1 spot on my wishlist is the game I want most, and games on #25-#30 are even possibly replace-able if I find more interesting games) . While "Followed" games are literally every single game that I know exist and I am still interested in, but they are lower priority, and I personally would never buy them yet until I clear up some spot on my wishlist. So basically if you want to gift me a game, it's obviously best to pick from wishlist and if possible, start checking availability/prices from the top/highest game first .

- Regarding steam friends: I rarely add people. Most of my current steam friends exist because we played a Team Fortress 2 match together and had a good chat banter, or more recently, squadding up from a common friend in Fall Guys. But you must know, I do very little to maintain steam friendships . So I'm sorry to everyone I've added or added me if I almost never talk to you / forget who you are!


- Believes people should be kind. Trolling or pranking is almost always pointless in my eyes. If your friendships often involve these, I don't want to be friends with you. Once in a while is fine but know boundaries

- Pro Fiction & 2D loli enthusiast. you have been warned. Fiction does not affect reality . Basically, I believe that whatever you enjoy in fiction is okay as long as it's fiction and you don't do the messed up stuff in real life. this applies to any violence you do in games, whatever characters you ship, or even whatever kinks you have in hentai! Just be chill about things, and look into stuff you enjoy while avoiding what you don't. That's how to be a normal person . But if you do want to send me loli doujins go for it! I would be thankful I guess .

- UBI Advocate Ally. I believe that we, as humans, have the right of financial security. I would be fine with UBI not existing if the world implements universal shelter, healthcare and sustenance. But in our capitalistic society, UBI is the first step towards human rights, and it can reduce wealth inequality with proper taxation. Don't let greed come in the way of being human .

- Weeb enough to be an outcast, but not weeb enough to be accepted in the anime community. I haven't even watched the "classics" like Evangelion, or the big stuff like MHA. Never watched Naruto/DbZ as a kid too. former vtuber fan . Series I do enjoy are Shadow's House, Iruma Kun and the usual One Piece!

- Overall Chill gamer who believe games are art, and you shouldn't be sweaty tryhards who think everything is a zero-sum game when there's a win-win situation . Looking at you, FG grabbers.

- In the end, I believe infoboxes are not always helpful in letting you know about a person. So if you vibe with me just talk to me! Maybe we could be friends!

I use this to discover new games. Just like steam friends, I won't followback if you don't talk to me or I know you!
