Lifelong gamer invested in:
- Tabletop miniature gaming, especially skirmish games like Kill Team, Warcry, and Malifaux
- Board games, especially narrative & horror games like Arkham Horror (both the board and card games)
- Video games, mostly non-pvp online RPGs – Most of my gaming time goes into Warframe or Star Trek Online, but I *love* immersive narrative 3rd person games like Control, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Horizon: Zero Dawn
- Tabletop Role Playing when the stars align
Old-school Unix™ guru who got started with Minix before Linux existed, and has spent most of their adult life working in that industry as what’s now known as an SRE.
Occasional programmer with a preference for languages/environments with lots of explorability: Ruby, Elixir, Clojure/Lisps, potentially Swift as I learn more of it.
Jack of all trades – I endeavor to learn how to do EVERYTHING to a degree that I could pick it back up in an emergency. From auto-repair to knitting, Fencing to forging – The perspective of each broadens the understanding of how the world fits together.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
