just another quiet gamer

I pretty much mostly play smash on stream at the moment. Trying to get into the habit of streaming said game and enjoying the players who stumble into my room.

The Scarlet Shepherd
I hope no-one minds if I have a tendency to use one character for an extended period of time
(if matches go over an hour or two in time)
I mostly prefer being able to work on one character at a time, even if it means the matchup is causing me to lose every match.

() just really enjoy the character and really want to get better as. Gets a bit annoying when I end up just facing people who switch over to marth when I use her and win. Regardless, I have no problem with marth as a character/playstyle, but I just hold lucina slightly higher up as a character for myself.

() I hold a similar connection and appreciation for chrom as a character, similar to lucina. I honestly only used ike in the piror game cause chrom didn't get into smash 4. Not much else to say really. He might swap places with lucina as a main with time. Though I only say that cause I haven't practiced with him as much as lucina. Just that lucina covers chroms only major weakness (bad recovery)

() a surprise pick for me. I wanted to try some new characters for ultimate. I also picked her up as a sorta range/trap character to balance out my swordies. My only issue with her is that I feel as though I only make progress and get decent results cause both she and villager use slingshot/gyroid a lot for pressure. So I apologize if the playstyle is annoying, but I was gonna have to adapt to the zoners eventually

() Another bit of a surprise and my pick for a big/heavy character to work on. Though I am willing to admit he is the lowest tier heavy for sure. Low mid at best for me. He is enjoyable with certain matchups but is combo food for so many high tiers and high/mid tier zoners. Not to mention he has the most unnecessary handicaps for a large character, but I won't bore you with the details. It'd be nice if some of them were addressed with patches, but I'm not getting my hopes up

Background

alright, but to be perfectly honest here, my life story isn't exactly that exciting. Though I suppose an honest retelling is better than nothing at all

Born in Maryland Pennsylvania, but moved and lived(up till now) in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Spent my elementary and junior high years in Penn Christian Academy. Made a lot of good friends, and a lot of good memories. Spent my time in high school doing an online home-school called 21stcccs. Even though it was a pretty easy time for me, I sadly didn't apply myself as much as I could. I was a person who was able to coast through early school. I don't really consider myself an extremely intelligent person, I mostly just did what I thought was pretty basic/easy for me. Even during my online high-school years, the bare minimum requirements wasn't exactly gonna prepare me for certain subjects later on. I enjoyed the comfort of doing school on my own time, and I really enjoyed any kind of assignment that revolves around reading and writing literary insights. Though as much as I do enjoy writing(I even started my own blog with various reports, poetry, a possible in-working-progress book, ect) I know that making a good career solely around that would be very difficult. So If I can find a way to have a successful career around writing(whether writing reviews/stories/scripts), it would be a nice but ultimately unlikely dream of mine.

I then started going to community college. Recently finished a small IT associate's degree. I was intended on going into engineering like my father. Though the lack of a proper math background in high school led me through a series rough classes in calculus. Eventually, I decided to lean more towards coding. It started with a little C++ and then straight into java. I'm sorry if I can't go into further detail on this particular matter, but It would probably go on to another page if I did. The ultimate point is that I am getting close to earning my IT (information technology) associates as we speak. Plus with my father passed away, within the last year, it definitely has been more of a dedicated drive to eventually be as helpful with coding like my dad. Though not in the same exact field, the general point still stands.

I also gained an interest in video editing while I was browsing and watching youtube during my early college years. It's kind of strange that youtube basically became the equivalent of cable tv for me. I've recently started my hand in trying to edit and create videos myself on a youtube channel. Though my biggest problem is self-motivation. It's not that I don't enjoy editing videos, but I think I would enjoy it a little more if I had more of a reason to help others with it. I have my own projects, but I tend to push them aside for long periods of time cause I don't think people would like them. I would enjoy being able to help others with personal requests and building on what little I know about the craft. Hopefully, this isn't that boring to listen to, but youtube has indeed become ingrained in my lifestyle.

I enjoy earning money doing more manual/retail work. So I guess any and all areas I talk about building on are mostly reserved as hobbies on the side

I suppose I can describe myself as a quiet person who simply tries to fit in. I honestly view myself as someone who isn't very good with small talk, but I would still try my hardest to be polite and listen to your troubles. I mostly enjoy quiet activities at home like playing video games and reading. When it comes to speaking to another person or having a personal relationship, I'm more of the person who let's the other do most of the talking. It comes with me being a little overly cautious about what I want to say to someone else. Even though I'm generally very quiet when it comes to small talk. I do have a more stubborn side if I absolutely feel like I have to say something. So I prefer talking with a purpose, over small talk. I value my alone time, but I understand that I do need to try reaching out more.
