I think that it reminds me of a happy period of my life, so I have good vibes every time I visit dev.to.

It is a real picture, at work, we had a fun office with masks and other stuff (the perks of being a game studio), only the saber and the tattoo are added with photoshop.

Also I think most of the people here know about StarWars. Also it looks my character from SWTOR (the mmo).

Leaving the pic here in case I change my avatar

I've got a Zabrak Jedi Watchman on SWTOR ๐Ÿ˜. I haven't played in forever, but when I stopped he was level 52 and a beast with those stacked burns. One of my favorite MMOs ever, and I was an OG with WoW back from 2002-2010 (anybody remember RopeTown or Speling Champians?). Great avatar and really fun photo!

I wasnt a fan of SWTOR, rather the universe, only played the free tier. I was too caught up with Guild wars 2. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

That makes sense. I was never a pay to play guy either. I'm just a huge KOTOR fanboy. It was my favorite game of all time up until about 4 months ago when it was dethroned after 15 years by Horizon: Zero Dawn. My top 3 round out at 1)H:ZD, 2)KOTOR and 3)Tied between Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, and Kingdom Hearts 2. Never played GW or GW2 but I've heard good things
