This is an paragraph! explanation.
This is something. Not really a personal site, not really anything else.
Click anything of interest, poke the buttons before you, inspect the pages well, ponder everything.
If you dont get to the end, oh well. You (hopefully) will give it some time, engage in this digital conversation with me, and maybe you'll take something of me with you.
Or, you can choose not to engage in my little games, close the tab and leave me behind.
I'll respect your choice regardless.

But this isn't really about me at all, from the moment you move off this this page I am no longer here.
Thank you for whatever time you choose to give, this'll send you back.!
Typo?
Something there that shouldn't be?
Somewhere you think there should be more?
Your thoughts about this whole thing?
Anything else you'd like to tell me?
I try to check cash4uranium235@gmail.com
but if you'd prefer something a bit more personal
maybe @Destructicorn on Discord1 is more your speed.
1. Used to be 'Destructicorn#7137.' It depends on when you might be reading this, but in my case it's a fairly recent decison by Discord to shift from the four number discriminator to a purely handle-based system. I don't particularly agree with this for two reasons: (1) what I'm calling an Xbox scenario, and (2) sharing efficacy. Firstly, I'm really lucky that I got my moniker of choice, tons of people I know—both personally and just of—had to go with a '****maybe' or an '****8756' or any other unseemingly modifier. Face it, coming up with usernames is hard, to find some short combo of letters both original and personally meaningful even once isn't fun; then, to watch that boulder roll all the way down the hill again in the name of "parity with other platforms" is reason enough to run in front of it next time the rock falls. There can only be so many clean usernames, and for a platform as big as Discord that limit comes fast; this then forces new users to take the path of Xbox gamertags and the like i.e. 'xX_' and l33t sp34k. If you've ever been in that sort of lobby with that sort of username, you'd know it gets old fast. Plus, that route makes it even harder to share usernames in conversation; what's harder "Hey, my name on Discord is 'Dest-ruct-i-corn' with hashtag seven-one-three-seven at the end" or "Hey, my name on Discord is 'Accursed underscore Fool' with the e in accursed being a three and only the second o in fool being a zero." This leads to more confusion typing it in: instead of a simple username and four numbers (two points of failure), you have a simple username, various underscores, and inserted numbers (three points). People end up recreating the discriminator, except far touchier and inconsistant.
Secondarily, have a glance up at how my email is put in context. I can just say "contact me at xxxx@yyy.com" and anyone wishing to do so can infer that (1) this is an email and (2) how to get in touch using it. What if I were to do the same with my new username? I say "contact me @xxxx" and anyone wishing to do so can only glean that (1) this is the handle to some social media. This could be my Twitter, my Instagram, my Bitcoin adress; they wouldn't be able to tell. Before this, the unique format of xxxx#yyyy meant that to those who had experience with Discord—the ones to whom this would be most useful—could instantly tell how to use it. It was a bit like a shibboleth for—at least mostly—dorks.*
