I collect pixels, chase frame-times, and still believe Workbench 3.1 was peak UI. I love weird hardware, old-school demos, and modern games that respect the classics.

ABOUT

What I am about

A quick read, like the back of a big box game (but with fewer lies).

Story

I collect pixels, chase frame-times, and still believe Workbench 3.1 was peak UI. I love weird hardware, old-school demos, and modern games that respect the classics.

Lawful

Clean cabling and stable thermals.

Chaotic

Trying another theme at 3 AM.

Good

Helping friends resurrect old rigs.

Evil

Overclocking without telling anyone.

Bonus: I still remember the sound of the floppy drive, and yes, it was beautiful.
