General

My interests are mostly about technology, so sorry in advance for that, and for the super long essay type thing!

When it comes to music, I like a lot of it, not just listening! I was always interested in preservation and lost media, especially unreleased music. Listening to a version of a song that was never meant to come out is always interested, so is albums that are only available physically or are only available in specific regions. Music that was pulled from Spotify and haven't come back up since too, those are really strange stories.

Music player software interests me too as I mainly listen to music through foobar2000, but I'm also interested by actual music players you hold! I used to use an early generation iPod Nano going to and from Middle School provided by the school, but I've also used a few of those cheap dollar store ones that can't hold music for shit. Good times.

I'm interested in CDs too! I like researching and looking into special edition CDs for albums, such as Japan versions, but I do also own a few normal CDs myself and I'm very interested in learning about CD ripping and all that! I have ripped the CDs I owned because I prefer having a digital version. Not a focus of my profile, but I also like learning about music production and do very basic chiptune production myself. Thinking of learning tracker music!

I have also always been interested in downloading music, starting from a pretty crappy YouTube downloader and making my way to learning about streaming services to stop downloading music for a while. Then I finally discovered about downloading high quality lossless music from streaming services and haven't turned back once. Though I'm still down to talk about Spotify and YouTube Downloading, I'm in other places now and I'm pretty interested in Music Piracy.

Speaking of Piracy, it's history interests me too. I'm in Canada, so downloading files is completely fine but sharing what you have isn't. That's not the part of history that interests me though, it's the evolution of how media was shared! NFOs, methods for downloading music (sorry for mentioning it again lol), game rips, scene stuff, and whatever I can learn about. I might not know everything, but I know a few things and I've always been interested! It's great we went from 128kbps MP3s to full lossless backups. Piracy is preservation!

Speaking of preservation, the internet in general too! The way people have preserved history through The Internet Archive and old site recreations like this one has always interested me, the way we've evolved and how sites used to look so good. I'm interested in preserving my own too, backing up chat logs, my listening history and some other stuff that might be of importance to look back on. I cannot leave without any of it. I always wonder what it's like to use the internet back in the day though, what was that like?

I'll try not to keep you for longer. I'm also interested in general technology like Windows and other software, new and old. Virtual Machines has also been something I've played with before. I unfortunately use an iPhone but dream of switching back to Android. Modding Windows and other software customization is cool too, even video game modding interests me! Having control over things is so good.

I also play with writing but it's not one of my active hobbies. Well, unless you count blogging.

Games

I also like video games! Damn, there's going to be a lot of places to start here. This will be a pretty long moment, so please give me a moment to talk. Please.

I'm just going to real quick throw in ROBLOX, since it's very likely you already play it anyway. I mainly play games on the platform casually, nothing competitive. I'm mainly playing Decaying Winter, Project Lazarus, Pressure, Reminiscence Zombies, Aniphobia, Combat Initiation, Pls Donate, Survive the Disasters, HELLMET, and whatever else I can find. I also sometimes play tycoons.
I was a former active RoCitizens player. I also have tried Dandy's World but didn't like it too much.

I play a lot of singleplayer games too, so I'm down to talk about those! I've played The Quarry (as you can tell), TREPANG2, Fallout: New Vegas, Undertale (& some of it's fangames), The Binding of Isaac, Earthbound/Mother (I'm new, please be easy!), Portal, Bioshock, POSTAL 2, Lonely Wolf Treat, Deltarune, Bad End Theatre, Undertale Yellow (my favorite!), ULTRAKILL, STALKER: Anomaly, POSTAL: Brain Damaged, FEAR 2, Dishonored, and a bunch of other games that I likely missed by accident.

There's a few games I don't mind playing online but prefer to play alone. These games include Call of Duty, Half-Life, Contagion, Day of Infamy and mainly Overwatch/TF2, but I may be down to play an online match of one of these! I'm also considering learning offline Escape from Tarkov with SPT.

An idea of the other kind of games I play includes Left 4 Dead 2, VRChat, Battlefield 1, Minecraft, No More Room in Hell, Unturned, Halo (specifically Infinite but I have MCC), Plague Inc: Evolved, and some more that I'll try and add when I remember.

Music

I listen to a lot of music genres so I'm generally open to anything. I have an interest that shifts a little over time, so sometimes I'm mainly looking for rock or another time I might lean into pop a little more. It's not exactly consistent. My taste is basically just a whole clumped mess that evolves as I find things I like.

I'm not in support of the views of anybody I listen to, or the implications they make in their music. I sail the seas, not participate in debates. I am aware of their history/reputation and have taken precautions to make it known I do not support some of these people. That being said, I kind of have to artist dump since I don't really have anything else of note. Welp, here goes.

A small list of artists I'm familiar with includes Hollywood Undead, Kanye West, Drake, Eminem, Bring Me The Horizon, Simon Curtis, Linkin Park, Kendrick Lamar, Normandie, Three Days Grace, Paramore, Set It Off, Falling in Reverse, Post Malone, Billy Joel, Radiohead, KMFDM and Ashes Remain.

If it's not on this list, feel free to ask. There's probably bound to be some I missed!

Movies

It's a little hard for me to list movies I have seen before because I don't really care about Movies & TV all that match. As funny as it would be to be a smartass and list funny things, there's just no point.

The only movies that come to mind is The Santa Claus, Halloween (2018), The Giver, The Polar Express, Luck (2022), HOME (2015), South Park: Uncut and The Hunger Games, among a very small list of movies. That's a lot of movies beginning with T...

I'll add more if I remember.

Television

The list of things I've watched over TV is a small list as I've slowly stopped watching shows. But the things that most will care about includes South Park, Rick and Morty, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Inside Job, and the other assort of things that people have already seen.

My favorite childhood shows were Looped (which seems to be relatively obscure as far as I know), Wayside, and Johnny Test. I'll add more here when I remember.

Anime

The anime department I know very little from, so at that point, just recommend a first time anime to somebody who hasn't tried anime before. I used to binge the same 2-3 animes and then completely stopped. If it really mattered, I mostly watched The Helpful Fox Senko-San and a little bit of Overlord. Always down for new recommendations, I haven't watched anime in a good while.

Webseries

I've seen the Half-Life parody series Freeman's Mind and a few inspired clones of it, as well as many of Tomska's skits. I have seen some of Battle for Dream Island but it is not one of my big obsessions. I also enjoy watching malware in action (danooct1) and Scambaiting (atomic shrimp, pleasant green). Formerly watched Helluva Boss but stopped after Season 1.

Books

I don't have much to say about books unfortunately, I've found myself reading less and less, and I don't read manga. I mainly read for school projects :(

That's not to say I haven't read anything at all! I enjoyed The Hunger Games & The Giver when they were given out as School Projects, and they both stuck with me a lot. I have also read Diary of a Wimpy Kid and used to be read a bit of Spirit Animals, Captain Underpants and Amulet.
