Benji's Interests

General	Games in general, but mostly video games. Also game design and the systems that make our games and experiences.
Music	Whatever for the most part, particularly VG soundtracks and pre-2010s music. I know I like Prog Rock because a friend wanted me to listen to it more. Specific music I like: Louie Zong - Garlic Jams GGST Character Tracks Yes - Close to the Edge There is also a lot more music I listen to from interests listed below. If something is in the interests list, I have likely listened to the OSTs for the media at least once, maybe even regularly.
Games	Rerun games: Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) Super Mario Galaxy (All Stars) Pseudoregalia The Messenger Cyber Shadow Narita Boy Animal Well Hollow Knight Sega Rally 2 Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Games to remember: Everhood Saga Persona 5/5R Celeste Outer Wilds Multiplayer games: SRB2Kart Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers Deep Rock Galactic GTFO Lethal Company ShellShock Live Terraria I have a Switch and Switch 2 but only for Nintendo's offline games.
Movies	Redline, Goddamn OVA. Not really a movies guy though, but there are some stuff like Studio Ghibli movies and other culturally influential movies that I wouldn't mind watching with friends sometime.
Television	One Piece, Dr. Stone, Lupin the Third Part 4 onward, various Kamen Riders. I swear I'm not 100% a weeb if you get to know me outside of film. Dead Sound's series (Dinosauria, Sauria, Autodale, etc.).
Podcasts	Fools Gold Sands. OwO That's about it.
Books	Sonic IDW, xkcd, Penny Arcade. House of Leaves is on hold. Liked my time spent, but returns have been diminishing. Haven't read enough books. Haven't found a place for finding interesting things to read like other media services I use.
Heroes	I don't look up to any real life figures really. I find it hard to believe that any current figures are actually worth looking up to. I have more trust in myself and friends rather than people who say they represent me. In terms of fictional figures, I usually look up to my own perceptions of characters rather than what literally drives the acts. It's not like anyone who makes a character to look up to and personify is actually trying to empower those who view such character.

Benji's Blurbs

About me:

Huh? You don't seem familiar. Head here before reading further.
https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1633446

I am someone who wishes to just do rather than thinking first. Shame I can't quite do that with what I need to do.

I like to hear about most kinds of interesting experiences and stories. If you have such you wouldn't mind sharing and can share it fine enough, I would love to hear at least a minor synopsis of it.

I also have a couple resources and links on my neocities site. I don't really use it anymore, but there is some stuff there that I haven't brought over here.

I would love to get into more complicated games like some board game and maybe ever fighting games, but don't have the time to learn how to play them, let alone teach the lack of friends that care how to play them.

I know how to make simple websites. It's why I was able to style my page from scratch without any layouts.

Who I'd like to meet:

People that are a bit different who share interesting experiences.

What am I doing on SpaceHey:

I mainly use this platform for creating a page to share with others and myself. Kind of like having a VR avatar to look at yourself in a mirror.

I also write a blog where I talk about games, experiences, and other stuff that bothers me. Just remember this important phrase. If you see or hear me talking a lot, just assume I don't really know for the most part.

Why I didn't take your friend request?:

Could be interests, common DNIs, or other factors. I have denied requests for some of those reasons already.

The most obvious one that annoys me though is that your page doesn't look good on the eyes. Stuff like tons of bright colors, hard to read text, and fast moving elements are a big no for me. I know people like the old internet style of design, but please don't make it so hard to look at your page let alone read it. Add an obvious reduce effects button if you can. I will read your profile and maybe blog if I can actually read it without turning off the styling in the inspector.

Go into detail about your interests to some extent. As an example, simply saying "I like games" without talking about any particular ones is too broad and doesn't tell me if we actually share interests. Talk about particular games you like somewhere if you are gonna mention games. Doesn't matter if it's only one game either as long as it's something.

Give media player access to the viewers so that I can play the media while having auto play turned off. Hidden embeds can blast the audio with no way to fix it besides muting or editing the site so giving access to the whole media player allows me to appreciate the whole site and the vibes without accidentally blowing my ears out. Don't make it too small either.

No offense if you like your site as is, but when I or anyone else experiences your site, we are more likely to spend our time reading it if we actually like doing so. Try to focus on finding ways to share your experiences of your own site in ways that create that experience in the people you want to meet.
