About Page

Here's that page on my site that's all about me, although a lot of this site is about me anyway, or at least what I think about things, and so on. At least as much as I'm willing to mention online.

If you want to get in touch, check my contact info page.

Typical game genres

These are the ones I'm most likely to play, and not strictly the only ones I do.

• Adventure (built on exploration and discovery, and not just finding every last one of a thing)
• Creation (custom levels, characters, or even whole games)
• First-person (with or without shooting)
• Puzzle (especially nonograms/picross)
• RPG (core systems, not just turn-based)
• Simulation (if fun enough to mess with and not too complicated)

Music genres I tend to like

I've liked songs across a lot of genres, and I don't really have genres completely blocked off just in case I find even just one interesting song in it, but this is where a lot of those favorites are. Not being on here doesn't mean I'm not listening to it at all, just less likely.

• Rock
• Metal
• Classic Rock
• Classical
• Electro-swing
• Happy Hardcore (also other related super techno or hardcore type things)
• Techno/Rave (typically around 1990s-2000s, not so much trance or "mainstream" modern EDM)
