Hi! I'm OtherRyn. Feel free to call me that or just 'Ryn'. And no, we don't talk about RynPrime (how DARE she)! The first game I remember playing was *Choplifter!* on the Apple II. In the early days, it was mostly consoles - Atari, NES, Sega... Then I built my first computer with the help of a friend in the mid '90s. Since then, it's been whatever I can get my hands on. I prefer PC, but consoles get my love as well. I play a variety of games, but you probably won't see first person perspectives in this channel. (Unless it's a game I really really want to play.) I'm originally from Alaska, but now living in Düsseldorf, Germany (having moved from London, England). In January 2016, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (that's the autoimmune one that usually gets diagnosed in childhood). So, if I pop off screen or say 'hey, I'm feeling wonky' there's a possibility that I'm having a hypo (low blood glucose levels) and will need to test and have some candy. (Also, if you ever see me start to shiver on stream, YELL AT ME to test. I won't be offended, I promise.) Also, I'm owned by catsnakes. They might occasionally get some screen time. Because they're adorable.

1. Don't be a dick (Wheaton's Law) 2. No racist/homophobic/sexist slurs. See Rule 1. 3. No spoilers. I get it. You love the game I'm playing like breathing. Some other people are just here for the journey with us. Respect that. 4. Backseating is okay but don't be a dick about it. Make suggestions rather than demands. Asking "why did you do X" instead of "DO THIS" goes over better. 5. Be welcoming. We're a small community but we are growing. Do your part to help our community is a good one. 6. Have fun. Seriously, we're all here to have fun. 7. NO POLITICS Rules subject to change by the capricious whim of OtherRyn and/or the ferrets.
