Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re on here with us, it’s a wonderful place full of lots of great people!
Ahh bringing back memories with FF7, Metal Gear and so many other great games! My brother and I also loved games like command and conquer and age of empires. Did you ever try those strategy games?
I think you should fit in well here on hive. There’s a fair amount to learn but I’m a bit like you with tutorials, I love doing them but in written form with many picture. I made one video on here and it was okay but it’s a bit odd to me so I don’t really do it. It’s a good way for me to learn, to try and teach it so I can mentally digest it then translate it into other words. It’s a nice thing to do!
We have some pretty good art communities here as well as computer software ones that do a lot with art things. I’m not completely sure what those communities are but you can definitely go down some holes looking for it and connect with the users who post the content. Other than that we too have countless communities you can check out for all kinds of different interests!
We’ve got a beginner zone, so-to-speak that has lots of important information you can learn from. I would recommend you check it out to learn some stuff about the place, lots of great information is posted there.

One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.
I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.
With commenting and posting, we consume what’s called ‘resource credits’ and in the beginning you don’t have a lot, you have to earn more. If you want to consistently comment and post, the website https://giftgiver.site/ does 10 day delegations for you to increase your credits to comment or post. Give it a try if you need some! Please feel free to ask me about this if you are confused!
There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:

Here are also some great communities of people you can check out! The list is a work in progress so please take them as suggestions but there are a LOT of others besides these!
