Just a person who loves video games, creative writing, and creating things. Hoping to learn more about making reviews, composing music, video creation, animation, and voice acting. But we’ll see how that turns out. Currently in college not knowing what exactly I want to do.

Available Platforms

Here is a list of platforms or devices I currently have, especially for video games:

Windows PC
- *Monolith
- Swiftie
- Z-2070
Nintendo Switch
*PlayStation 4
Mobile
*Nintendo 3DS (DS)
*Nintendo Wii (Nintendo GameCube)
*Nintendo DS (Gameboy Advance)

*Currently unavailable since I am currently in college and these devices are at home. That said, technology has improved significantly so remote play (without significant compromises) is possible if needed.

Note: I would consider this segment more “inspirational” than “favorite”. Unfortunately, I can’t get every single inspiration, but I hope this list does some justice to those who have impacted my life. Honestly, it is weird: sometimes, it takes multiple performances to be remembered. Other times, all it takes is a single performance.
