Ohai! A bit about me I guess. Nerdy 32M ~5'11 and 145 pounds who recently got out of a long term relationship, but it had been falling apart for years and neither of us wanted to admit it, so it doesn't really even feel like it was recent in hindsight due to how damn lonely it's been for me. As a hard stop early on in the post, I don't want kids, it's not happening, sorry.

I spend most of my time gaming or watching various movies/tv shows/anime. I don't hide who I am or how stereotypically nerdy I might be. I've made a career out of it and I'm proud as hell about that, so fuck the haters :-P. I work in game development as a software engineer, which is awesome but holy fuck is it stressful at times lol.

I play most genres outside of like, sports or racing for the most part. Anything with a solid amount of world building, character development, or progression usually hooks me. I used to be huge into the MMO scene but I just don't have the energy for that anymore, and I'm competitive so it's tough to play casually (also just really time consuming). Some of my favorites of all time though are kind of all over the place: Life is Strange (I cry like a baby every time I play this), Catherine, Bayonetta, Katamari Damacy, Nier Automata, and basically any soulslike. I also love weird shit if that's not obvious, basically anything Suda51 gets my money.

As for movies, I somehow remember almost every single one I've seen and maintain a list of all of them just for reference or if I want to go rewatch something. Idk I'm crazy like that. I barely remember what I did yesterday but name some random obscure movie I saw years ago and there's a decent chance I remember it lol. I'll watch most genres, but anything with good world building, character development, or anything just plain weird/out there usually grabs me the most like in games. I'm kind of more into Star Wars than I should be and will nerd out over that like no other. I'll also watch just about anything with zombies for some reason. I haven't seen a ton of anime, but would love to watch more.

My humor tends to be very self deprecation heavy, morbid, and sarcastic, it's how I cope. I curse a lot, if that's not obvious by now :-D. I'm pretty shy at first, but I warm up fast most of the time, but I'm definitely not the best at conversation if there's not a specific topic...I kinda suck at small talk. I'm also a big memer and randomly will just spout memes that no one knows from 15 years ago, so if you get my references then <3. I really miss going to conventions, mostly PAX and GDC, and can't wait to start going to them again. I also miss cosplaying as well. I haven't done a ton of cosplay admittedly, but the few costumes I've done I absolutely loved doing.

Music is a huge part of my life and I'm so excited to start going to concerts again, I used to go to a ton. I just bought Billie Eilish tickets for Seattle next year and definitely have an extra one for if I find someone to bring with me lol (how's that for a bonus?). I listen to a ton of genres, so some random bands I'm throwing out there off the top of my head just to give you an idea of what I like: Slipknot, Green Day, Blink182, Tame Impala, CCR, The Doors, SOAD, Panic at the Disco!, NIN, mc chris, Eminem...I could go on.

Honestly, I just want to stay inside with someone I care about and cuddle watching movies or playing games together. Obviously having our own time is important too, but I miss having someone to do things with and I'm big into shared experiences.

I also like to give this as a heads up since I don't want to surprise anyone and make them run away. I have a chronic pain condition that fucking sucks. It limits what I can do a little bit. Not much, I can do like 95% of things but I just hurt a lot and try to limit doing some small things that will aggrevate my pain, usually things involving my hands or wrists.
