I guess I can just jump right into things: I'm Ryan. I'm 35 and here's me with my two cats https://imgur.com/a/zr4SIvA. I treat my cats like my children. I'm a huge animal lover. Please send me pictures of your pets. Speaking of children, I don't really like them and can't have them. I've had the snip snip so it's no longer a concern (tmi maybe? sorry lol).

I'm looking for either an eventual relationship or just platonic talking and friendship. I can be a bit shy at first, but warm up quick and am a huge nerd at heart. I spend pretty much all of my time either gaming or watching movies/shows/anime, but lately I've been spending more time on learning new programming skills including a new game of my own to work on.

I have a dark, morbid, and meme-ey sense of humor. For games, I love ones with a strong sense of personality, progression, and fun or unique gameplay. Some of my favorites in no particular order are FFX, Catherine, Nier, Bayonetta, and Katamari Damacy. I'm a sucker for JRPGs. As for movies, I have a few I'd consider as my favorites: Galaxy Quest, Scott Pilgrim, Dr. Horrible, and Little Shop of Horrors. Lately I've been on a horror binge. I'm also a huge Star Wars nerd.

I do game development professionally for a living, working as a gameplay engineer. Right now I do remote work, but live in Washington (admittedly I am unemployed right now as the entire game industry is shitting itself). Music is a big part of my life as well. I go to a lot of concerts. I've gone less recently though because I live a pain in the ass amount of driving time away.

I love hanging out and doing mutual activities like watching movies together or playing games together. I'm also totally cool with just hanging out and us each doing our own things. I love having somebody there, even if online, to talk to and share things/banter with on a daily basis. I'm open to local or (not permanently) online relationships. Also I apologize for the throw away, I don't like my real info linked back to these posts on Google. I have no issues with switching to another form like Discord with my real account.

I'm pretty bad at trying to come up with topics to talk about, so I apologize in advance lol. I'm not the kind of person to just ghost, but I might not say anything if I can't think of something to say for a topic. I'm pretty much always online and open to talking. I'm pretty social for being an introvert.
