Charizarzar Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Hello and welcome back to Member Interviews! Our final interviewee of 2022 is none other than @ExistentialSolid! Get those existential (or non-existential!) questions coming in to end the year with a bang. Questions can be submitted starting now until December 21st, 2022. Existential has provided the community with a snippet about themselves to help with coming up with questions. About Me Hello everyone! I'm ExistentialSolid coming to you live from a dusty lil' town in the US! Some of you might already know me from my trophy checklist or through my participation in the Ultra Rare Cleanup events, but, if you know one thing about me, you'll know my presence on PSNP has been largely defined by my affinity for challenging games. The funny thing is... I don't especially enjoy challenging games. I mostly play them for the attention or to prove to myself that I'm just as capable as anyone else. If I wasn't so competitive, I'd be over here living my best life playing through the latest indies or catching up on all the Nintendo exclusives I've been missing out on! But as soon as I see a gathering of people whispering about how you'd have to be an insanely-hardcore-god-tier-level-lunatic to get some hollow bit of digital bragging rights, this animalistic part of my brain activates and says "Hold my beer. I've got this!" ...I'm probably very impressionable. In person, or over mic, I would describe myself as "socially inept" considering I have an excruciatingly difficult time talking to anyone about anything. You could spend five minutes telling me the most riveting story and all I'd say in response is something like, "oh wow... mhmm." I have very little to offer if it isn't instructional, so conversation tends to get awkward fast. It's as though my mind is filled with nothing but TV static unless I'm communicating through text. Outside of gaming, I enjoy writing, but, because I've overly critical of everything I put to paper, I tear most of my work to shreds until I'm left slumped in a corner staring helplessly at an empty page. Often, my mood at the time of writing will blend with my writing style which might sound totally natural, but it always complicates the revision process since conflicting moods will force a whole host of editing changes. For example, I woke up this morning overflowing with cynicism and, in this very same "about me" blurb, originally included a comparison between the Ultra Rare Cleanup event and a "symbiotic validation mill" where one mines for rep. Sheesh. I'm a mess, but I look forward to your questions! Thank you for reading! ________________________ Interview setup The setup for all PSNP interviews will be as follows: After the new interviewee have been revealed, the PSNP community will have 10 days to ask their questions. While the community is coming up with questions, the interviewee has the time to work on the 17 standard questions After those 10 days, those questions, along with the standard questions, will be sent to the interviewee. The interviewee will have another 7 days to answer as many of the questions as they want. Once the interviewee has finished answering the questions, I will post the whole interview in a new thread. How to be an Interviewee If anyone wants to be interviewed all they have to do is say they would like to be added to the interview signup thread. After that the member will be added to the list of potential interviewees. ________________________ List of questions Standard Questions How did you come up with your PSN name?
