How long have you been a part of the SwitchRPG community?

DjAtkins

Since the beginning of the Discord. I had helped Firestream set the original Discord up and tried to help with getting some of our first AMA sessions.

Rich

How did you find SwitchRPG.com?

DjAtkins

I really think it was when the Switch was first coming out. I was looking up rpg games for the Switch and came across the original website.

Rich

How old were you when you first got into gaming, and what got you into it?

DjAtkins

I was in elementary school and my father traded an RC car for an Atari. Later, my neighbors got the NES and we got one as well.

Rich

What is your favorite RPG subgenre?

DjAtkins

I’ll get flack for this but turn-based JRPGs. I like the old style cause, well, I’m old. But I like action as well.

Final fantasy 1, Dragon Warrior 1, the SaGa series on game boy, Final Fantasy 7…so many good ones. Oh yeah, Octopath Traveler.
