This is Nox, the coolest cat around. He adopted me in 2014 when I was walking to the park with some friends. His likes are food, sleeping for 80% of the day, not paying rent, and attacking my hand under blankets. His dislikes include medicine, my absence when I leave the house, and the time between meals.

I thoroughly enjoy playing chess and would describe myself as "pretty good for an amateur". My father taught me to play as a child, and my passion for chess was reignited after watching a video series on the games of Paul Charles Morphy, a famous player from New Orleans who is generally regarded as the first "best player in the world". 

I listen to many genres of music, such as 80s classics, punk, post hardcore, many subgenres of EDM, rap, synthwave, indie alternative, and many more. I tend to make long playlists for different genres which come in handy at the gym and on long car rides. I have dabbled a little in making my own music in LMMS. 

I enjoy reading and gravitate toward science fiction and fantasy novels. My favorite series is Dune, with the Dark Tower series in a close second. I am currently reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books. I have played many video games, with Metroid Prime, Pokémon Crystal, Elden Ring, Skyrim, and Hyper Light Drifter being some of my favorites.
