AMA Let's try this out...

Hi there!
Are you a morning person, or a night person?
 
What are your favorite Pokemon, Megan? ^^
 
Hi there!
Are you a morning person, or a night person?
Probably morning. I have somewhat of a rigit working routine and I end up sleeping early and waking up early. I've done night shifts in the past. But while it's usually pretty quiet at that time. The dark also makes me feel pretty depressed quite often.

Mornings have that benefit that most people are still asleep. Downside is that it's usually still bright outside when I go to sleep during Summer.
What inspired you to do art?

What made you join here?
I've always done art. I didn't need inspiration for that. Though, I do admit that with inspiration I would probably a lot better at doing art than I currently am. ^^"

I created my account here because I wanted to download a ROM Hack.
What are your favorite Pokemon, Megan? ^^
There's Celebi which became my favorite because of how ellusive it originally was. It took until the event distributions in gen 6 for me to get one. There's Phione which probably became my favorite due to competitive. Manaphy was always popular with people and I always felt bad for Phione for not being considered good at all. In general it gives me this "working really hard" vibe. Because even in lore it mainly works hard to build its colony just for some sort of ruler (Manaphy) to one day arrive. It's basically the same as workers irl. :P

Then there's more, like Skarmory, Mismagius, Jirachi (actually most mythicals, especially the cute ones), etc. Also Tinkaton. GF literally searched up all my posts, saw that I liked Fairy and Steel type Pokemon, saw that my avatar had a hammer and then they decided to create a Pokemon on that basis. And worst of all: they still haven't paid me for that! D:
What's the best memory you have from Moderating FG?
I don't really have a best moment. Every moment is just differently nice. I like when new people come in and decide to stay. It tells me that FG is a nice place to hang out. Which means that I'm probably not doing as bad of a job and scare people away. ^^"
what's usually the best part of your week?
Friday evening, because that's when my work week is over. At the same time the weekend hasn't started, yet. So, I still have a lot of free time left.
alrighty. from one Megan to another Megan...what inspired your username?
I liked the name Megaera and wanted to base my OC on that mythological being. I ended up looking for names that were based on that name. Turns out nobody likes basing modern names off of the furies from ancient times. But they definitely base names off of goody-two-shoe-characters from mythology. So, I said "screw it" took the name and can with confidence tell you that the name "Megan" is definitely based off of Megaera one of the furies from ancient history! :P
 
There is a desert island nearby. You can swim there, but you can only take one bag with you that can fit 4 things in. What 4 things do you put in the bag?
A chair, a book, some cookies and my unfiled tax papers. That seems like a good way to waste some time until the government picks me up.

What they lack in competence to go after rich people they make up easily by their cruel efficiency towards prosecuting lowly working people. :3
 
What would your "useless superpower" be—something that's technically impressive but completely impractical?
 
Did you have a good time during Que-Up? (and thanks for coming btw :p)
Sure. There are certain things that I still think to be a bummer. Like, the fact that it always starts so late. So, I will most likely miss out on something which seemed to be the case, yesterday? I also still don't feel comfortable in group chats (which is a me thing, though). Also: for someone who has absolutely no idea about music I spend way too much time trying to find different stuff so I can offer a variety of different things to spice things up a bit. ^^"

I can overthink things so hard that it not only takes forever for me to come up with something. Whatever I do come up also ends up being very meta at times. :P
In other words: I have no clue. I'm not that special and certainly don't have anything special about me, not even of the useless kind. ^^"
 
Who's more boring, me or you?
One thing I've definitely learnt is that you can't exactly compare two people. They are who they are because of so many factors and most people don't even know enough about themselves to make these sorts of comparisons; let alone know enough about others...

One thing is for sure, though: if you enjoy things then there will be someone who thinks of you as interesting. Meanwhile, if you don't, you just end up tip toeing around questions like "did you enjoy ..." because you just know many people interpret the answer as a personal attack . ^^"

And yes, I still respect you! :P
Favorite video game(s)?
Old ones: the Golden Sun games, Radiant Historia
New ones: Xenoblade 2 for the story and theme; Xenoblade 3 for the gameplay
Thoughts on Deutschland right now?
It set itself up for failure decades ago, the current barrage of crisis just amplified the issues, the conflict between east and west is very much real even decades after the reunion, politicians do politician things and the people still seem content enough to not do anything that leads to actual change. Honestly, it's much like a lot of other western countries. It just a has a lot more distance to cover in its fall. :P
If you could give one piece of advice to people, what would it be?
Appreciate the things you enjoy and don't let others discourage you just because they feel like you're not doing it right.
 
I'm now obligated to ask you who your favorite Radiant Historia character/s is/are.
This is difficult for me mostly because I think most of them are very likable. When I played the game for the first time I definitely liked Marco the most. I can't even say why that was the case. But it definitely was the case. :3

When I got around to playing the remake the answer wasn't that simple anymore. One thing I will say, however: I'm not a fan of what they did to Eruca. How they changed her design from a tomboy (which imo fits her pretty well) to this generic anime princess (probably to appeal to a certain audience...)! :(

Stocke is, of course, pretty cool and I also like Aht.
 
How did you join PC and what are your favorite sections? You've been here for quite longer than I have after all :)

Someone was recommending me a ROM Hack called "Snakewood". However, in order to download something you need to make an account. So I did. And I downloaded the hack. And so far it's been the worst ROM Hack I've ever played in my life. :P

And I've been in many sections over the years. The first big one was Poke Trivia. That was when post counts were still off in that section. I also spent a significant amount of time in the Competitive section during gen 6. I kind alost interest when gen 7 rolled around, though.

Afterwards I didn't really have any section in particular. I mostly drifted between different ones like Previous Generations, Off-Topic and the occasional visit of Pokemon General and Pokemon Gaming General, maybe the Gaming section, as well.

When Covid hit I spent more time in the Clubs section and shortly after randomly decided to make a post in Forum Games. That was pretty much the turning point. I got more involved with Forum Games (which back then was very much a huge spam fest) and inadvertedly got acquainted with VPP, as well.

I've actually done a ton of background work in VPP when I became a mod in that section. Probably a little too much because it kinda made me feel burnt out to a point that I still don't feel recovered completely. It's one of the reasons you don't see me there too often. The other one being that Missingno take forever to raise. xD
