The aim is the journey, in spite of everything, and the journey is the aim. Managing to perform one thing, be it a decision, a aim or a venture, is a good factor, in fact, however attempting to get there may be in itself superb. 

Making step one, in spite of everything, is extremely vital and extremely tough.

Therefore, in case you made a primary step up to now yr and didn’t go throughout with it, that’s tremendous. Be pleased with your self for attempting!

Who’s Magi anyway? And what the heck is Indiecator?

So, hello there, I’m Dan or Magi or MagiWasTaken and I’m the individual that writes on right here, I suppose… that is my private ardour venture and I hope you get pleasure from what you learn right here.

I’m a queer college scholar in Germany with a migration background, aiming to develop into an English & Philosophy instructor, who has the aim to shine a lightweight on matters I discover vital, together with Indie Video games (for probably the most half really) and different matters.

When it comes to hobbies, I like to cook dinner, play video games, learn and I actually get pleasure from listening to good music, at instances zoning out utterly. I actually dig performs and novellas, though I do learn a good bit of prose as properly. My favorite authors are Lovecraft, Kaur, Süßkind and Kafka.

When it comes to music, I’m into all types of genres, from digital and techno music to rap, jazz, swing and rock to steel, post-hardcore, grindcore and fashionable rock… and Indie. This weblog is known as Indiecator, so in fact I hearken to Indie music.

A few of my favorite artists embrace Cleopatrick, Fuck Artwork Let’s Dance, STOCKMANN, Bonaparte, Crywank, Chris Christodolou, Badflower, Arcitc Monkeys, and Useless Poet Society.

And with regards to gaming, I really like technique and colony sim/citybuilder video games. I really like story-driven and exploration-focused experiences. I really like roguelikes/roguelites, roguelike-deckbuilders, card video games, motion video games, and stealth video games… and my backlog is means too huge and I have to play a few of the titles in my assortment.

I stream on Twitch. With my current transfer and the web scenario and every thing, I wasn’t in a position to take action for fairly some time however I’m trying ahead to returning to Twitch to have the ability to work on the aforementioned backlog, taking part in by means of video games and properly, making progress. So, tune in someday, I’ve acquired thrilling plans. 🙂

For this yr, I need to write extra about indie video games, as per typical, however I additionally need to shine a lightweight on the behind-the-scenes stuff with interviews, the “science” behind sport design and even the nice & dangerous of the gaming neighborhood.

I need to speak about toxicity in gaming and the explanations as to why it happens, the methods it manifests itself, the impression it has on folks, and methods on tips on how to cope with it. 

I need to spotlight nice examples of video games that function little to no (if any in any respect) toxicity, and I need to speak to devs about how they managed to perform such a nigh inconceivable feat.

However I additionally wanna speak about different matters on right here, ones I discover essential within the non-gaming world, corresponding to problematic folks or tough conditions. I need to enhance my writing in that regard and maybe make a little bit of a distinction on this planet by reporting on such matters. Therefore, it could get political right here and there however not too usually.

And properly, apart from that, I’d like to got down to speak about cell gaming this yr. Having had no web connection for the previous two to 3 months, gaming on cell grew to become a great way for me to unwind, and the truth that cell video games are closely stigmatized has bothered me for a slightly very long time. 

Maybe we are able to destigmatize it. Maybe, we are able to even unravel why stated stigma exists within the first place, in addition to shine a lightweight on actually good cell titles? Maybe, I may even write concerning the “typical” cell expertise and the way lengthy a F2P particular person can get pleasure from a sport earlier than it turns into a slog?

Both means, that’s a variety of stuff to theoretically write about, so I hope you look ahead to this yr as a lot as I do – and I hope you get pleasure from no matter posts I plan on penning this yr.

I used to say “Cheers!” on the finish of my posts and stopped in some unspecified time in the future… however this time round I believe it’s applicable, even when I’m clinking metaphorical glasses with a cup of tea proper now… both means, huzzah to a brand new yr stuffed with many nice moments! 

Cheers!
