About

Here is a bit of information about me.

Introduction

Hello! You can call me catcard, Cat, or Lena (my ffxiv name). I'm a passionate 30-something AuDHD she/her person who plays videogames regularly. I also write fanfic and draw with a tablet and a recycled sketchbook. I have a wonderful girlfriend who is the other half of my soul, and a tiny tortoiseshell cat named Mochi.

Gaming

I enjoy games such as the Soulsbornekiro series (Bloodborne is my favorite... by far), Lies of P, Dragon Age, Dragon's Dogma, Final Fantasy (specifically XIV right now and for ever, and X in my childhood), Elder Scrolls (including Online right now), Stardew Valley and its many clones, Nier Gestalt and Automata, the .hack// series, etc etc etc. Basically whatever was popular that wasn't a FPS or RTS or something like Path of Exile.

FFXIV

I have been playing FFXIV since 3.3 (2016-09-05) almost nonstop. I met my girlfriend outside of it, but she helped me get into the game when I expressed interest and then we grew close enough to fall in love - so I consider FFXIV to be very important to me. I furiously ship my Warrior of Light, Lena, with the ex-ARR-villain Gaius Baelsar, and have written a 500k+ word story about their romance and adventures together as well as a cute modern AU piece of nonsense.

Streaming

Twitch.tv is my television nowadays. I'm active in LoadingReadyRun's community (I mod for Adam) and several others, but most of the time you can just find me lurking while I do something else. Like make a website. I myself used to stream a long time ago, and nothing's preventing me from starting it up again except my own willpower and attention span - or lack thereof.

Coding

I am an experienced developer but not a web design expert by any means. My most comfortable language is C# and stuff that comes with the .NET framework. I'm currently beginning a journey to learn more about hosting websites, building and hosting applications from scratch, and making tools for other people to use.

Extra

Spheal is my favorite Pokémon and this is one of my favorite videos on the internet:

And here's another one because I love this one a lot:

Maybe I ought to make a video shrine.
