My Media Interests

Video Games!

Rain World is what I'm currently into the most. I got into the game back in late 2021 (I was fixating on Hollow Knight speedruns, and one day I saw Skurry streaming it. I was so enamoured by the slugcat physics that I clicked off so that I could play the whole thing blind). Eventually I got really into the lore, discovered the modding scene, and then really got into it once the Downpour DLC came out.

I play a few fighting games! I like the Guilty Gear series most of all, but I've also dabbled in a bit of Skullgirls and Tekken (neither of which I am remotely good at). I currently main A.B.A in Strive, and I alternate between her and Zappa in +R.

I've also always been really fascinated by cut content in video games. I think it started when I first discovered cheat code websites as a kid and used them to find the Stop n Swop items in Banjo-Kazooie. Stuff like this is always super interesting to me, especially when it makes it far enough along in development to still get left in the files upon release!

Music!

It's a little hard for me to articulate the specifics of why I like the music I do. I actually took chorus classes through all of middle and high school, but I never retained anything about the specifics of music theory or even how the notes, scales, and keys work. I memorized all our music by ear and cheated at every sight reading assignment...

Film!

Being a visual arts person, I've always been more drawn to animation, but I can still definitely appreciate all the work that goes into live-action. I'm also obnoxious enough about my opinions to have a Letterboxd.

Some animated films I really like are How to Train Your Dragon and Studio Ghibli Films like Ponyo and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.

Some of my favorite live-action films are Jurassic Park, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and The Florida Project.

Anime & Manga!

I'm not the biggest animanga buff out there, but I get really passionate about specific series sometimes.

A few that I've enjoyed are Dungeon Meshi, Soul Eater, and Oyasumi Punpun.
