Gaming

I... am a gamer (derogatory).

Console History

Nintendo 64 (1998)--> Xbox (2003)--> life/work hiatus--> Xbox One & Switch Lite (2020)--> Xbox Series S (2023) --> Given a PS4 Slim by a friend (2025).

I don't plan to ever buy any future release consoles, they just keep getting more expensive and restrictive with no real benefits.

Personal Computer(s)

Growing up, my fam went through several computers. Distinctly remember separate machines for Windows 95, 98, ME, and Vista. I've since had three average laptops across the 2010s to now (Toshiba Satellite, Asus Vivobook & HP Pavillion).

In 2020 I built a custom PC and am still running that one now. It's nothing special, even at the time, but I never really play new games anyway.

The Greats

Online Mostly: DayZ, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, MOULa, Fallout 76, GTA Online, Conan Exiles, Red Dead Online, Sea of Thieves, SA:MP.

Single Player Mostly: The Longest Journey-Dreamfall Saga, Myst Series, KOTOR 1 & 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Civ 4, San Andreas, GTA2, Saints Row 2022, Red Faction 1, Blade Runner, Jedi Academy, Old Star Wars Battlefronts (2003/4), Old Battlefields (1942 & Vietnam), NFSU 1 & 2, SWAT4, Unreal II.

I do like and play plenty of other stuff, but those listed above have been the most impactful or amassed the most hours out of me. See my new separate pages for:

Adventure Games

Early 'Cinematic' FPS Games

Virtual Photography

My friend introduced me to this a few years ago, literally just photography in games (usually in a photo mode, or removing the HUD). Moved all my stuff to a Pixelfed account about a year ago, as it isn't an AI scraping walled garden requiring an account to view :)
