Lifelong gamer. Cave dweller. Void explorer.

Bio

I'm a lifelong gamer, self-taught tech, and frequent night owl who has been navigating digital worlds since the early days of dial-up. Born and raised in an era where you had to blow into the cartridge just to get the game to load, I've watched this industry evolve from pixelated side-scrollers to open-world universes that take hundreds of hours to explore. Gaming isn't just a hobby for me — it's the lens through which I experience creativity, community, and challenge. Outside of screens, I'm a parent, a problem-solver, and someone who believes that you're in control of your happiness, so live life to the fullest, and for me, that involves gaming til I die.

Web Design

This site was built from scratch using Jekyll, and styled entirely with hand-written CSS — no templates, no page builders, no shortcuts. The terminal-green-on-void aesthetic isn't accidental; it's a deliberate nod to the CRT screens and command-line interfaces that shaped how I think about interfaces. I build things iteratively, often with the help of AI tools that I treat more like a pair programmer than an autopilot. Everything you see here — the black hole, the sun, the scrolling random read, the retro games — was a deliberate design and engineering decision. I'll be writing more about the process and the stack as this site evolves.

Who Am I

Same gamertag across every platform. I don't do real names out here -- just GAM3RGAWD. Been gaming since I could hold a controller and never looked back. I spend most of my time cave dwelling in front of screens, which is exactly where I want to be.

When I'm not gaming, I'm thinking about gaming. Or space. Or the matrix. Sometimes all three at once.

The Vibe

This blog is my corner of the void. I write about games I play, tech that catches my eye, thoughts that rattle around at 3 AM, and occasionally the fact that space travel would be pretty cool.

Dark themes only. The Solar rays burn so try the light mode and get a taste of the blinding white brilliance. For me its always dark mode -- it's my survival mechanism.
