Hi, I'm xKasabian and I was introduced to Hive by @killerwot He has been telling me about it for quite awhile now and I have finally taken the plunge and joined, but I'm a bit confused by it.
I will try keep this as informative about myself without it being an overkill, so bare with me guys!
Any newbie advice is welcome!
I've been advised by @killerwot to talk about myself, and hobbies as a way to get pointed in the right direction of navigating this place, and finding some communities I would like.
Who I Am
I studied Tv and Film Production, and from there I went into a range of different jobs, sadly though, not in the field I studied. Unfortunately I took up a job that I regret now looking back, but at the time I wasn't feeling my best and it sucked me dry for the next 4 years when I could have done something more productive. 🕴️🗃️
My Hobbies
I'm an avid gamer and have always enjoyed playing games since back in the PlayStation 1 days.
Skyrim & Fallout 4 probably being my favorite games of all time, Bethesda is King.
Movies being a major interest also,
Lord of the Rings being my absolute favorite.
(I have LOTR corner in my room which I will add up a picture of at a later time) 🐲⚔️I also love music and have been to a ton of gigs over the years. Also quite a few band tattoos (Blink182 are coming up in September here in Ireland & I got tickets!) 🎸🎧
Travel & History
I've adventured and visited most of the main sights & attractions here in Ireland, Castles being a big interest to me. I tried previously along with a friend start up an Instagram page aswell as a YouTube channel to try and boost our own towns history but it never picked up the traction we'd hoped for and it soon fell flat. (Pictures & posts to come later) 🏰✈️
Hive
I may not know much about this site, but from what I've heard it's a cool place and is full of interesting people, and I hope I will fit in and be able to get more involved once I get to know it a bit better.
Thanks to everyone who reads my introduction, I look forward to this new venture. 😀
Nice one man, glad you joined up, I'm sure you'll get along great here especially once you get used to the place.
Here are a few communities I would join and check out,
Hive Gaming, is pretty self-explanatory, it's all about games and gaming.
Cine Tv, is a good community all about movies, and they do weekly prompts too.
Movies and Tv Shows, is another good place to talk about movies and tv shows.
There's a lot to see, I think the best thing for you to do is pop around and see what communities are out there and do a bit of reading, you'll find plenty of great people and cool places to hang out.

Good on you for onboarding a new Hiver!
Thanks so much man, I'm delighted that I have finally convinced someone to join. I think he'll be a good addition to the community.
Maybe I won't be, maybe I will become a HIVE villain.
Welcome to Hive. Can’t wait to see more from you. If you want to right about games, check out the Hive Gaming Community. My Photography Lovers Community is a good place to share the photos that you take and for travel, I recommend Pinmapple.
Some other advice for you as a newcomer to Hive, spend time engaging with people. Find posts that interest you and comment on them. When you are new, that is the best way to get your name out there.
Good luck man.
Cheers my man, should be good.
I'm a bit late to the welcome party, but better late than never.
I see you have got loads of good advice already.
I think you'll do well on here.
Engagement is really important to to help you get seen xx
Noway man, thanks for that I really appreciate it. I was messaging Killerwot, just couldn't understand the algorithm and why one post can do so well and the other so insanely bad. I'll understand eventually.

Welcome bruv! Nice to meet you and Hive is indeed a beautiful place. Killer is brilliant and I’m sure he’ll help you navigate just fine. Hehe. Cool picture too! You meet a fellow music lover and soon, one day hopefully, a first tat!
Hahaha I feel like a mother duck. I remember when I first joined it was so confusing and even today I'm still learning stuff, but I'll do my best to help him on his way and get set up.
Mother duck! Ha! How fitting! 😂😂😂
Ooohh nice, first tattoo... Any ideas on what you might get?
I have a lot of ideas. I just don’t know how to draw. Lol. But I’m thinking between a Tiger and a Skull. The skull on a bed of roses, a crown of thorns and some blood spill. A lot of color too. Hehe. It has meaning for me too
Cool, you only live once - you should get it. #YOLO
Yeah! One more gamer on the blockchain and I saw that... A movie lover 😍 just what I want to hear from a newbie lol
You'll love it here, there are communities for movies and game lovers... I'm hoping to read some recommendations from you soon
Welcome to Hive and do have a nice time here, ask whatever questions you might have, you will grow your account here faster that way 🙌
Awesome, any info on getting starting such as communities and so on send them on! 🫡🙂
Hehe I saw that your onboarder shared the ones related to your hobbies already.
I'd love to share more but one step at a time, you can check the community page for other communities that may interest you as you continue to Hive on 🙂
