Anyways, here's what I like

• Programming, but I'm not super into it :P
  • I started out with Scratch (but sadly I deleted my account 😔)
  • Lua was my first and favorite language, which I currently use with the CC: Tweaked mod on Minecraft
  • I learned C while I was bored taking a walk
  • Rust used to be my favorite, but I found the borrow checker to be frustrating
  • For some reason I can never find the motivation to work on my projects, like I'll get stuck daydreaming about it for hours on end, but then I won't want to do it anymore and so it never gets done. UGGGGGHHH!
  • I enjoy the problem solving side of programming more than the prospect of creating something cool.


• Video games!
  • Minecraft: 'Nuff said!
  • Omori: This one's a psychological horror game about a boy and his dreams. Explore headspace, reunite your friends, and discover the truth about Omori.

  • Yume 2kki Online: Hoo boy! This game was my first real experience at talking to people online. In it, you play as Urotsuki and search the dream world for effects, equipable power-ups that change Urotsuki's appearance and grant special powers, like going faster, becoming a paper doll, or channeling the essence of the N64.

    The game has loads of content made by dozens of diverse artists, possibly making it the largest piece of human made content. My favorites are Rio, Qxy, and Moriwo.

• Taking notes on stuff
  • I use Obsidian for its ability to render markdown cleanly and link to other notes
  • I recently learned about this note-taking system called Zettelkasten, where instead of having a giant note for every topic, their broken down into smaller, atomic notes. Each note is broken into four categories:

    Fleeting

    These are short notes that capture your current (fleetting) thoughts. They're not meant to be kept around for a long time. They're meant to be elaborated on inside a permanent note.

    Literature

    These are snippets of information pulled from books and other media, and are similar to fleeting notes in that they're unrefined and in your own words, but these can be kept around for much longer.

    Permanent

    These are the culmination of your fleeting and literature notes, your own original thoughts and ideas that you have refined. These are meant to last forever and represent your understanding of a subject. Allow the previous two categories to drive your writing forward and generate ideas.

    Reference

    These act as maps of content, similar to site maps for navigation. (Note: you may not need as many of these if you're using an app)
