I figured I wanna make a new one of this exactly ten years to the day
, to compare what I was like then versus the now-times. That above was also my 13-year-old-self's first post shortly after registering. Okay this part was written in advance but NO siree bob, I looked back on it and I winced at how unfunny and nerd-emoji my dialogue in that first post was. The only thing I'll reference from it is me saying I wasn't going to be a "sucky-WAD factory", which despite how unnecessarily biting that is, ends up true because... I only published one singular mod (more on that towards this post's bottom), and we use ☆~*
PK3s*~☆ now ooooo wooow lol
I now go by
Lliteqiel ꙮ, which is a moniker that's heaps more unique than the Cheezburger-esque memeage from 2010 that originally inspired "katwover123", lolspeak for "cat lover". I was mad big on things like... WALL•E, back then, even to this day; why I couldn't think of anything I liked to make a username out of and instead just tried to fit in with a site that churns out funny fauna photos with Impact font captions applied to them and use
that as my username for almost a decade, I don't know.
As far as my specific interests - there's WALL•E like I mentioned, but a whole variety of other media, like some parcels of Sonic, Pokémon, whatnot. Particularly it's the things in those franchises like the badniks
/other robots and "weird" and "not cutesy" Pokémon designs respectively that I get the most enjoyment out of. The Magnemite line, Sandy Shocks, the Ultra Beasts, the Regis, many individual other ones such as Starmie, Unown, Shedinja, Claydol, Porygon-Z, Sigilyph, Dhelmise, and (Eternamax) Eternatus are some examples of stand-out personal favorites that I'm happy exist. Miscellaneous other series that hit a lot of marks for me off the top of my head or just be something I would actively seek out the most include Lilo & Stitch, Beetlejuice, Zula Patrol... hey I mean, you can't
not find
talking planets some level of enthralling when you're young. Memories of the first few years of being given my HP Windows 7 laptop had consisted of playing countless hours of games like Wizard101, Marble Blast Gold, and Spore, which not only by my willpower (aka multiple fixes and trips to the computer repair store) but in addendum by some higher-dimensional blessing, uhm, is
still kicking today.
It's thanks to the Ultra Beasts that lead to and helped me find my preferences in scary and "gross" creature designs in other media, such as the Angels in Evangelion, cosmic horror à la the Cthulhu Mythos; plus anything with machines and robotics and futuristic mechanical cybernetic mutants SYNONYMS GALORE I am sure to deem as "cool" if you send it my way. In terms of real-life "non"fiction, equivalents in this vein would be my fondness of the stories about cryptids and bizarre entities, alleged alien claims, and """biblically-accurate""" angels, the eye-ful eldritch fellas that like to utter "Be Not Afraid" a bunch, although I would go along with dubbing them
Ezekielian angels instead to help please the most amount of adherents to Afro-Eurasian-borne religions at once.
Probably no surprise if I say my IRL favorite animals are ones like horseshoe crabs, pill bugs, mantis shrimp, cuttlefish, olms, and lots of other charming species both extant and extinct in the Animalia kingdom with kooky and unique biology. I highly recommend by the way for anyone to catch episodes of "(Animal Planet's) The Most Extreme", that show was one of the most all-around enticing sources of learning about animal qualities to me, ever.
Activities like hiking, visiting notable landmarks, and swimming are some awesome ways for passing the time and enjoying myself offline. There were a lot of hiking opportunities where I used to live, Pennsylvania... can't really claim the same for the Sunshine State.
I'm also heavily interested in astronomy and outer space, practically since I was very little, as well as geography and chemistry and many related (Earth) science topics. To this day I still have many of the same pieces of astronomy software on my aforementioned undead laptop basically ever since I had it, like 3D screensavers of the solar system, "
MPL3D", as well as
Celestia, a program that simulates space in real-time and has its own
addons website I used to visit fairly frequently, not unlike SRB2 in a way!
If you were to ask me about songs I really crave listening to that I would say are audible "examples" of my varied quirks and personality, if "I"
was in the form of music, in other terminology thatprobablystrugglestomakesense, then here's a couple or several:
I was a member of my middle & high schools' choirs too! Probably am slightly out of practice when I've been 6 years-ish away from it and counting; one of the only fun things from school I miss sincerely. I know Christmas is tucked far away from being on anybody's minds this time of the year, but I actually appear somewhere in
this combined orchestra + ice-skating event in 2016, multiple school choirs of the region joining in the back.
Speaking of music, I don't know what else to mention beyond an advertisement of my single noteworthy contribution to SRB2 modding which is
New MP Music for 2.1 — essentially a project I did of me giving new life to MIDI compositions of a certain lesser-known past STJr venture, previously composed by one of the former music developers, these of which didn't get featured in the vanilla Robo Blast 2, ergo they hadn't received spruced-up Ogg treatment like some others already in the game. Some of the remastered songs here are also featured in the 2.2 port of the Blue Heaven map pack, and as a result I'm glad they've gained more reach outside of just the admittedly-obscure music mod by moi.
Oh and I guess I admit my actual SRB2/Kart-playering is few and far between these days. Causative factors such as the godsawfulness that is called "real life" tends to interrupt video game-playing when it's not wanted
