What a way to make yourself know to the community. I'm not here that long either but I discovered very quickly there are some great, funny and knowledgable people here at your service.

Hope you like what you find here, but then again, first impressions are everything and Neowin obviously made one on you and you definately seem to have made one on Neowin.

Welcome, Rachel! (nice website, btw!)

I'm glad you enjoyed my little website. In fact, it actually goes "officially" live today on August 1st! For those of you wondering, my website (Rachel on the go) is about adventure games. I'd be very pleased if you visit me.

And thanks again everyone for all your nice welcome posts! I'm really glad I joined you!

Hey, you know what's funny? I never actually proclaimed myself to be a girl, you guys just assumed that on your own. But that's where the dichotomy enters. You all want to see me as a girl, but you're having a hard time believing it's true. And though I can assure you that I am a girl, you shouldn't believe that the female type never browses the Internet or plays a game or two. Most girls I know are pretty talkative and enjoy sharing an opinion, hence the interest in discussion forums.

I mean, I grew up with game designers like Roberta Williams, Jane Jensen, Lorelei Shannon, and Lori Ann Cole. All these awesome women were genuine nerd gamers, like what I've become. And do you read PC Gamer? Looky here, who's the Editor-in-Chief? Well it's the Uber-cool Kristen Salvatore! And what about the amazing Telltale Games community superstar Emily Morganti? Well, I'm sure you all get my point.

But above all, the one thing I want you guys to know is that I am very pleased by the way you welcomed me. In the end, it matters not how you want to see me. I am Rachel, I tend to stick to the bare truth, and I love computers.

Neowin is awesome. :wub:

Very well put. The attention you grabbed is quite alarming. I must say this is probably the first thread beyond 2 pages that I have actually read EVERY post. Welcome to Neowin, alot of fun and educated people here.

I speak more as a part of the Neowin community than as a staff member here when I say that I am ashamed at how many replies this thread got. Of course, I think it's great you got such a huge welcoming, but to me it screams out "OMG A GIRL ON NEOWINZ". It gives the feeling that this is a boys-only forum, and whilst we all know that isn't true, it's still a bit odd that this is the longest introduction thread so far.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      PowerToys is getting a new window management utility by Taras Buria If you use PowerToys on Windows 11 or 10, you probably know that the app has quite a few utilities for window management. Fancy Zones, Always on Top, Crop and Lock, just to name a few. Soon, Microsoft will add another one, and fans of Alt + Tab should be excited. Proposed by Clint Rutkas, the module has a very simple idea: use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows within one app. For example, if you have four browser windows open, Alt + ` will let you switch between them just like Alt + Tab switches between all running apps. Here is the utility description from its GitHub pull request: Like other PowerToys utilities, Alt Window Cycle will offer shortcut customization. You will be able to use default shortcuts (Alt + ` for the next window or Alt + Shift + ` for the previous one) or remap them to something else. For now, there is no information on when Alt Window Cycle will arrive, so we will have to wait for the next PowerToys feature update (Microsoft usually pushes them on a monthly basis). Recently, Microsoft released version 0.100, which reworked the shortcuts guide, introduced an extension gallery for Command Palette, and more. Shortly after, version 0.100.1 arrived as a bug-fixing update. PowerToys is available on Windows 10 and 11, and you can get the app from the official GitHub repository, the Microsoft Store, or winget. Although Windows 10 is no longer supported, PowerToys developers currently do not plan to drop the now-unsupported operating system. And with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year in the Extended Security Update, you can expect PowerToys to remain available on Windows 10 for quite a while.

    • Sony announces Bungie layoffs that will affect "significant number of employees"

      By daryld · Posted

      This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming

      Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
