Hi! Welcome to my site. I enjoy learning about the inner workings of obscure Nintendo hardware. You probably wont find much in the way of bright, flashy graphics like you can on some other people's personal websites. As much as I admire the work those people put in to make their sites look so amazing, I usually get overwhelmed trying to navigate a site with so many links and objects all over the place. This site will prioritize having a clear structure with easy to navigate pages. Make sure to stop by the guestbook on your way out. :)

About me:

I'm Octo (she/her). Most of my programming is done in C++, Python, and Java. My favorite games include Splatoon, Pokémon (where are my gen 5 fans at?), and Zelda. I can also be found playing Dungeons and Dragons. If you're looking for song recommendations, I must suggest listening to the Electric Light Orchestra's album Eldorado.

You won't find me active much on social media. It's just never been my thing. My role models in making this site have been all the other small websites I've seen still floating around on the internet in 2023. It's a huge shame that the creativity and uniqueness of individual websites has been taken over by large social media platforms. This site is much more fun and personal to me than any social media account, because here I can do whatever I want within the bounds of web design. That being said, the main reason why I started this website was because I was hit with that painfully familiar burst of motivation to start a new project and obsessively fixtate on it for a short period of time before leaving it in an incomplete state. Only you, future reader, will know if this site avoided that fate. :P
