Community Member Spotlight: NoahIvaldi
Previous Community Member Spotlights
After a two-year hiatus, our Community Spotlight series is back! Every month, this series (should) highlight one of our community members on Discord. This month, we sat down and learned more about NoahIvaldi!
Rich
Tell us a little about yourself!
NoahIvaldi
Real name’s Caleb Reed! Noah Ivaldi is the name of one of my characters. I’m an evangelical Christian, indie dev (a forum RPG, so a form of play-by-post, by the name of Seinvocc), lifelong gamer with a fairly varied background and over 20 years of game design study. I’m the Good Boy(TM) who spends all of his time taking care of elderly family members and doing volunteer stuff. I’m poor and have been extensively robbed and sabotaged. I’m a genuine, certifiable weirdo. You can ask me about a lot more, ’cause I have eidetic memory and am an open book, so I guess that I should cut this off here!
Rich
How long have you been a part of the SwitchRPG community?
NoahIvaldi
One year!
Rich
How did you find SwitchRPG.com?
NoahIvaldi
From this Discord, actually. I found the Discord via SwitchList.
Rich
How old were you when you first got into gaming, and what got you into it?
NoahIvaldi
4, and one of my half-bros, Scott, gave me an NES and some games for my birthday + Christmas! I played Super Mario Bros 3 most of all and knew that I’d want more.
Rich
What is your favorite RPG subgenre?
NoahIvaldi
Forum! Way too much overlooked potential, so much versatility . . . It’s not an overstatement to call it the epitome of gaming freedom!
Rich
What are some of your favorite RPGs?
NoahIvaldi
Seinvocc, Final Fantasies V, VII:DoC, IX, X-2, XII, Tactics: The War of the Lions, and counting, Dragon Quest VIII, Hades, and I’m sure that I’ll love a bunch in my backlog!
Rich
What RPGs on Switch are you currently playing?
NoahIvaldi
Tangledeep, Phoenotopia: Awakening, Trials of Mana, Hades, Super Kirby Clash, and, of debatable genre, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
Rich
What is your favorite thing about the SwitchRPG community?
NoahIvaldi
The genuine heart and good will present in the community, for sure. We really get along out of a genuine, human need for a kind society.
Rich
What game or series would you like to see come to Switch?
NoahIvaldi
Gee, off the top of my head? Uh, how about Okamiden? Great game! Not as great as Okami, but great!
Rich
What Switch titles are you currently anticipating the most?
NoahIvaldi
Metroid Prime 4, though it may not hit the Switch, at this rate.
Rich
What is your fondest Nintendo memory?
NoahIvaldi
Hmm . . . How to choose . . .? I can talk endlessly about the times that games have really blown my socks off . . . Does it count if I say that I most favor forming bonds and friendships over games on Nintendo consoles, or is that 3cheesy5you?
Rich
Anything else you would like to say?
NoahIvaldi
I’ve talked your ear off too much already, I’m sure!
