Wikipedian! (When Motivated)

[edit]

Hi, I occasionally visit Wikipedia to stay connected and keep up with ongoing edits and discussions. While I'm not an active editor, I appreciate having an account so I can participate when something sparks my curiosity or when I want to contribute to topics I care about. Wikipedia is an incredible community and knowledge resource, and I enjoy being a small part of it.

I have a deep passion for a variety of niche hobbies and interests. Technology and computer programming have always intrigued me. I enjoy using macOS and Linux for their design and flexibility, and I often switch between platforms depending on the project. I also appreciate free and open-source software and contribute when I can via GitHub.

Travel is another big part of my identity. I’ve visited several countries across Northern and Western Europe, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and Austria. Experiencing different places and cultures has helped shape my worldview and sparked my passion for language learning. I’m a native speaker of English, currently studying Norwegian with beginner fluency in Spanish, German, and a touch of French.

For language learning, I use a mix of structured courses and self made materials, including tips from Duolingo, personal notes, and curated word lists. I also consult Wiktionary’s entries to improve my vocabulary and understanding.

When it comes to gaming, I love sandbox, story-rich, and immersive titles. I play on my Steam Deck, on PC via Steam, and across a wide array of consoles including the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, and my beloved handhelds like the Nintendo DS, DS Lite, 3DS and DSi. I also own a Playdate and an R36S handheld for retro and indie games.

I have a strong interest in simulation games, especially F1 simulators and driving sims and I’m always chasing that balance between realism and fun. I also enjoy cozy narrative games like Coffee Talk, with its chill cyberpunk coffee shop vibe, as well as titles like Cyberpunk 2077 that offer rich, sprawling worlds to explore. I also play chess casually and enjoy the mental discipline and problem-solving it requires. Another longtime interest of mine is Pokémon, a franchise I’ve followed since childhood from games to lore to collectibles.
