I enjoy stories. A lot. I like consuming them, telling them and analyzing them. I've always gravitated to story in video games over graphics or complexity (although I enjoy those too). My first play through is always on the easiest setting so I can get the story. When I played WoW I read every mission text available and never skipped cutscenes the first time through.

I like learning about story elements and what makes them work. In movies that can be a scene early on that sets expectations later on (in John Wick chapter 1 there was an early scene with him agressively driving his car in an airport, so I instantly knew that precision driving would happen near the climax of the movie). I like pulling apart dialogue that might be to expository because that often makes me wonder if the writers trusted the audience enough to leave the information implied.

Stories are one of the reasons I gravitated to Reddit when I came back to content. It gives me the opportunity to tell other peoples' stories and there is a lot to choose from, and the 2 Truths and AI segment helps me a bit with writing my own stories, because prompting the AI is very important, and there is always work to do to make the story not appear obviously AI written. In fact, the easier it is for you to guess which is AI the more likely it is that I minimized my involvement in the story after ChatGPT spit is out.

I do want to write my own stories for some of these posts, and I have started working on a few stories, so these posts won't all be just random musings or first person blogs and political thoughts.
