My legal name is Joseph, but it’s not my favorite. I mean, I guess I could legally change it to “Joe” but uuuuuuggggghhh seems like such a drag so here we are 😃  I’m not sure it’s a delightfully devious story, but “vagrantscout” has been my handle since 2003 when I was the community

Crash Bandicoot is one of the most famous video game franchises and one of my favorites since childhood. As someone born in the nineties, I first encountered the original trilogy and its kart racing game, released for the first PlayStation, and spent countless hours playing, trying to collect all the crates and gems, discovering secret areas and levels, and so on. Adventure and scavenger hunt games, including others like Super Mario, entertain and challenge me immensely, and this one is no exception. That's why it deserves a mention here. [EMOTE] Created by Naughty Dog, the franchise is set on a fictional, isolated archipelago 480 km west of Tasmania and centers on Crash Bandicoot, a goofy, genetically modified eastern barred bandicoot by the evil Dr. Neo Cortex, who
