Hello there fellow community friends, nice to meet you guys, my name is Daniel, A.k.a. Question23. I'm a 33 year old guy from Brazil, specifically from the beautiful state of Santa Catarina, the most beautiful one in my opinion,do you guys agree?
This is the Mariscal Beach, really close from my house.
I lived in a lot of places in Brazil, in 3 of Brazil's regions, from the deep south to the interior of the northeast, and chose to firm my residence in this state. Here i like to work, exercise, ride my longboard skate and my Mountain bike too, with wich i visit many beaches and hills.
But one thing that i love to do and have loved through all of my life is playing videogames. I remembered playing when i was really really young. My dad bought me an Atari, i can't remember wich version was but i remember some of the games. I realy loved the boxing one, the camera was in the top of the ring and you had to punch the nose of the other guy to score, it looked really precise and fun to me in that time.

As i was getting older my dad gave us a pc, it was called the "486" and it was a revolution for me, it had a lot of games and sometimes my dad's friend would bring a bunch os floppy disks and install new games. Fram that time i remember playing games like Sokoban, Tetris, Where in the world is Carmen San Diego, Doom, Sim city, some weird jet fighter simulators that were really hard for me haha.
(In this game you could summon Godzila and earthquakes, it was realy funny) Source
Some time later my dad bought us a Master System (known in America as Genesis) but we couldn't afford many games, so i used to go to the videogames rental store and pick some games up. I remember playing Alex Kidd and Sonic, but i wasn't good at al at those games, i was still very young.
The next videogame i Had was the Super Nintendo. I loved this one, it came with Mario and Donkey Kong but i prefered the fighting games like Super Street Fighter 2 and even better Final Fight 3, that i coudl play with a friend in CO-OP mode. We would spend hours playing with all the characters but my favourite was Haggar with that crazy jumping grapple attack.
I had a ridiculous ammount of fun with that console and stucked with it a long time, because my dad was having financial problems. But some time later my dad got a good job offer and we moved to the extreme south of Brazil, and he presented me with a playstation 2, the best console in my opinion, i played a lot of great games, starting with Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, the greatest videogame franchise in history. When i looked those graphics i imagined they were perfect, it couldn't get more real than that. Solid Snake and the environment was so detailed and the gameplay was absurd, the best game i had played until then.
The bosses fights were really chalenging, the history was dense and complex, it looked like a real movie and you were living it, i was so trilled to finish it i even cried in the end, great game, marked my existence haha.
Some time later i left my parents house and started college and working, then i was able to pay for my own videogames, but first i bought a simple PC with a simple graphic cards nad with that i was able to play a lot of games, i finished all of Call of duty's versions until then, and played a lot of different games like Max Payne, Just Cause, Kane and Lynch, and of course Counter-Strike, another love of mine. I played a lot of counter-strike 1.5, 1.6, Source and more recently CS:GO, spent hounr having fun in those games, the best online competitive FPS in my opinion, but a really hard one too.
Some more years passed and i bought a ps3, played some games there but as i was working really ward i didn't had much time. I remember really enjoying Metal gear solid 4 ans Far Cry 3, this one i finished in one weekend because i was at home recovering from removing my wisdom teeth, haha.
(gotta hate and love Vaas, one of the greatest villains in videogame history)
I sold my ps3 some time after and had a friend bring to me a ps4 from Australia, because it was really expensive in Brazil, 4 times the price. the PS4 i played a lot, the company i was working for went bankrupt and i spent some time back with my family in São Paulo, that i was gone for almost 10 years. I played a lot of games in that time, specially online ones like Rainbow six, Apex legends and Overwatch. Some time passed and i decided to live with my girlfriend in Santa Catarina again, got 2 jobs that payed well and decided to invest in a great PC, so i bought it little by little, started with a good GPU ans CPU and went upgrading until i reached the pc i always wanted, with this one i can play anything with great fps rates, and some great games i played with it, like Red Dead Redemption 2 (a masterpiece) and the underrated Ghostrunner, that i found really fun and cheallenging.
(play this game guys, really...) Source
Now i play a lot of online games like call of duty Warzone and League of Legends with my friends
And because of this community i started playing blockchain games too, specially Splinterlands, that i find it kinda difficult but i'm improving on it.
That's it for now, hope to get to know you guys here
Cheers!
