Hobbies & Interests
Video Games
I play a variety of video games in my free time and enjoy viewing games through an analytical lens. The current games I am playing are
Middle Earth: Shadow Of War & Hyper Light Drifter.
Camping
One of my hobbies involves going camping during most of my summers. I find it relaxing to take a break from technology and tend to do a lot of walking during this time.
Creative Writing
As of recently, I've spent a decent portion of my time creating a conceptual universe similar to creations like the Marvel or D.C. Universe. My end goal for this would be to turn the project into a large-scale franchise with various parallel stories featuring related events.
