Heyyy it's... Me?
I'm a disabled queer guy, I like making stuff and learning things.

Bonus quick facts!

I'm 6'4" tall
I used to have 5 wisdom teeth total. in my skull
Audhd babey
I used to do chess, swimming and archery
I have an award for outstanding performance in school
I used to be a bit popular on Scratch as a kid

I'm not super familiar with the culture/social aspect of webmastering here and also I am autistic, I VERY much do struggle with the social aspect of anything. Feel free to nudge me if there's anything I'm missing or should be aware of!

So... why?

Because it's neat and I like having a gazillion hobbies!

Also I'm hoping I can learn about myself a bit in the process. I don't really have much of a grasp on who I am and what I like, beyond the list of 20 hobbies I use to pass the time and satisfy my need to create and learn.

I'm also super nostalgic for the old web. I'm not neccessarily trying to mimic or embody the aesthetic of it but I'm hoping that by just trying to have fun here, I embody it a bit in spirit.

Hobbies

I'm writing this both for you to learn a little something and to have a list of things I like to do in a place that's hard to misplace it. Particularly after intense fixations I tend to kind of just forget what other stuff I do and feel a bit lost.

Blinkies Babey!

Self-made being, text is colored as the trans flag.

Stamps!

Or er... the ONE so far.

Favourites

I might tinker with this a lot for a while because I genuinely forget what I like, what I've watched, played or read and what my opinions and feelings were.

Also they aren't ordered by the amount I like them, they're just in alphabetical order in each category!

Videogames

I just adore videogames like. I love it too much to verbalize it well.

Cyberpunk 2077

(Action RPG | 2020)

I've loved this game from it's launch date. I was lucky enough to have minimal issues and completely fell in love. This is a massive comfort game to me. Haven't finished Phantom Liberty yet though...

Dishonored

(Action, adventure | 2012)

While I do like the later installments, none of them hold a candle to the first. This is another case of 'I love this too much to do anything but growl like a feral animal about it'.

Hades

(Roguelike, Action RPG | 2021)

The soundtrack SLAPS, this is the only game I don't get childishly pissy over dying in and I love interacting with all of the npcs and get so excited for the next opportunity to bond with them! Super excited for Hades 2, avoiding all the sneek peeks of it to enjoy it as blind as possible when it's out.

Portal

(Puzzle-platform | 2007)

Remember the whole 'I love this too much to do anything but growl like a feral animal about it' thing? Yes. I've been trying to write something, anything, about this for too long. Anyway the vibe is impeccable, the music is wonderful, I want GlaDOS to be my mom.

Portal 2

(Puzzle-platform | 2011)

The PERFECT sequel! Do you know how rare that is? The vibe is a touch different but wonderful none the less and the music IS SO GOOD. My sense of comedy is mothered by this game and fathered by tumblr.

Project Zomboid

(Open world, isometric | 2013-(active development))

This is such a fun and brutal game. I can't wait for the next build. This is truly a one of a kind zombie apocalypse game. This is dread, fearful vigilance and constant anxiety about your supplies and if that was the groan of the undead you just heard or the wind. You might have moments of victory or feeling powerful but, at least for me, it never lasts long.

Valheim

(Sandbox, survival | 2021)

This game scratches a really similar itch as minecraft to me and I think at this point I enjoy this game more. I'm always blown away by the graphics, it's a wonderful example of artistic vision over realism. Also, the first time I fought a sea serpent was probably the coolest I've ever felt in a video game. It felt like a car chase but on a boat.

World of Warcraft

(MMORPG | 2004)

This is here purely on nostalgia basis. I remember reading the manual as a kid and exploring Azeroth before the bigger graphics overhauls. I never really got into the social aspect but I've still always enjoyed exploring solo. Every day I fight the urge to buy a subscription to download classic. I think most of my memories are from around the cataclysm era though.

Video

This includes TV series, movies and anything else of the like I might throw in here!

Arcane

(Action, adventure, science fantasy, steampunk| 2021-?)

I am so excited for s2 and I refuse to watch any of the promotional material because I like going as blind as possible into the things I know I like.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

(Apocalyptic, mecha, psychological drama | 1995-1996)

I'm going to be completely honest. I don't remember anything, I just remember really liking it a LOT. Do want to rewatch it to rediscover my more detailed thoughts!

How to Train Your Dragon

(Fantasy | 2010)

Hi! Welcome to my childhood!

I was obsessed with dragons before and this only deepened my love for them. Also, obviously, I related to hiccup so heavily. Though I wanted to be a dragon rather than tame one.

Past "Currently:" entries

I just thought it'd be fun to gather it all here!

Test results

Welcome to a random smattering of results from various tests!

Familiarity through the fictional

Me: "Oh boy, kinning sure seems like a neat thing other people do. Glad they're having fun!"
Enter:

Viktor (Arcane)

Viktor, a scrawny man with pale skin, brown back-swept hair and amber eyes. He's using a crutch on his left side and gesturing with his free hand as if in conversation. This man. Listen, knowing that my brain more latched unto him with every episode and that I relate so so deeply to him should tell you a lot about me.
I'm bad at describing things if I feel too strongly about them though so ughgm.

Me on a daily basis:
Jayce, a tall, muscular and tanned man, stands over Viktor's shoulder and asks 'How would you rate your pain?' Viktor replies: '0 stars.'
