I play games as a way to relax. I am not a fan of sweaty ranked matches.

Guilty Gear Strive is my favorite fighting game, though I’ll happily button-mash in just about anything. I’ve been playing Overwatch since Day 1, currently a Mercy main, though I have history with Lucio, Junkrat, and D.Va.

I love VR, especially racing sims. I host "Drunk Driving Nights." We drink and race cars in Gran Turismo 7, Assetto Corsa, or a VR port of Mario Kart Wii. It usually devolves into bumper cars on the Nürburgring, and it is stupid fun. I also play a lot of Beat Saber, I lost 30lbs with that game and it is still among my all time favorites. I am a big fan of a lot of the VR classics (Superhot, Pisol Whip, Eleven Table Tennis, etc).

For anime, my taste oscillates wildly between "High Art" (Frieren, Hunter x Hunter, anything by MAPPA) and "Absolute Trash" (Food Wars, The 100 Girlfriends...). Mostly, anime is my decompression activity: a fire, fuzzy blankets, my two cats, and a few episodes to wind down.

I love conventions! San Japan is my local favorite, but I enjoy exploring the smaller ones too. It’s such a fun space to meet people, and cosplay is the perfect bridge for my hobbies; it puts my maker skills (3D printing, electronics, fabrication) and my nerd interests under one roof.
