Wow, it seems we have a lot of hobbies in common! That is, along with the rest of my family lol.
I played D&D for a long time, eventually my (now adult) son got into it also and still plays. My choice of games is Civilization 4 these days.
My SO does triathlons, at least she did before all the health issues. I ran in the military and have come to find I loathe running. So I just tag along for moral support.
I’ve just recently started getting into photography a little more, and I love music. I used to play the sax as well (baritone), but it’s been a long time.
Fencing is great and such a workout! My whole family has done fencing at some point and my kid was in a team in college.
We also surf :)
Oh damn, nice! I basically skipped Civ 4 just by chance. Huge amount of Civ 2: Test of Time when I was younger, touched on Civ 3 for a little while, and then Civ 5 is my 7th most-played game in Steam.
I was on alto. Definitely miss playing in big band.
Civ 4 will always be my fav. Did you see Civ 7 comes out in a few months? I can’t wait to try it!
I did see that it's coming out soon! The different ages thing seems like a really neat idea.
But tbh I don't play it a whole lot recently anyway. Never played 6, and haven't even played 5 since around when 6 came out
5 and 6 both sucked, which is why I still play 4. You aren’t missing anything.
Oh, I really liked 5. The switch to hexes and the removal of death stacks were pretty huge changes, but also excellent for the game. I'm a bit sick of Firaxis' tendency to release fundamentally unfinished games that only get completed once DLC have come out, though.
