An introduction!
I’m Kara (she/her), a musician, photographer, and tech person from Oregon. I have a very queer jangle pop band, The Crystal Furs (at crystalfurs.bandcamp.com), and like sci-fi, cats, fun and progressive video games, and vegan food! : blog.kara.zone
@tomorrowville Hi Kara! Thanks for the introduction and welcome! Always nice to have another Portlander in our little corner of the internet.

@tomorrowville Welcome! Several Portlanders here. If you’re into cats, you may enjoy my homestead blog: @YellowCottage.
@tomorrowville Welcome. I can second the value of following @dejus or @Yellowcottage for the interesting animal support systems and world view.
@tomorrowville Hi, Kara, and welcome to Micro.blog! 👋🏻 We have things in common: Oregon, sci-fi, cats, and games, and I bet there’s more. I’m following you to learn more about the things you love and share about online. Take care!
@tomorrowville Those cats are such beauties. 😻
If you like cats, and people who like cats, you will find many kindred spirits here.
@tomorrowville hey Kara, you sound like fun 😁 welcome to microblog 👋🏼 ps what sci-fi and video games do you like?
@hollyhoneychurch Star Trek will always be my primary love, but I’m pretty wide open otherwise! In gaming, I love exploring the world of queer indie games, which is where a bunch of favs are (things like Gone Home, Tacoma, Sayonara Wild Hearts, etc), and I’m also a big RPG & adventure girl (Mass Effect, The Outer Worlds, the newer Assassin’s Creed entries, etc) and also a big fan of No Man’s Sky.
@tomorrowville oh god! I ha e over 130 hours on assassins creed odyssey 😅🙈
Can’t wait to play Valhalla
@Gabz I am currently in the midst of it and likely am gonna have a similar hour count when all is said and done 🤣
@tomorrowville nice! And good luck! My understanding is that Valhalla is much bigger than odyssey was. I believe just the main story alone is over 80 hours 😬
@tomorrowville @Gabz Sounds like you have some video game interests in common with my wife, @jidabug. She’s played a bunch of those, though is currently all in on Red Dead Online.
@dejus @tomorrowville @jidabug oh nice! I’m currently on my Switch phase again. My last console game I played and probably over a hundred hours too was ghost of Tsushima, I played that one back to back four times. That’s definitely my game of the year
@Gabz Ghost of Tsushima was amazing! I haven’t played the new multiplayer mode yet, but plan to once I can tear myself away from Red Dead. I’m sure my next obsession will be the new Horizon Zero Dawn next year.
@Gabz I’ve loved all the AC games (we don’t speak of Unity and Syndicate) and will probably pick up Valhalla whenever I get a PS5.
@jidabug If the digital download of Valhalla, by some unlikely miracle, is on sale Friday it will be an immediate buy for me. I loved ACO.
@tomorrowville Cool 😁 I’m getting back into gaming after a thirty year break. Always looking for recommendations 😊
