+
+## technology
+this has always been the big one for me. since i was young i would reach out to people's dumbphones and pda's, trying to find out what sourcery was making them work.  
+as i got older, i learned more and more about how to get computers to do the things i want.  
+  
+my distinct memory of introducing myself to the world of computer hackery at a basic level was getting the 2013 version of black mesa, at the time still a source mod, to work on my [dell lattitude d630](https://www.reddit.com/r/breakingbad/comments/wnksw/so_i_was_watching_the_season_premiere_on_my_laptop), a laptop i dearly wish i still had today.  
+  
+it ran at 10fps.  
+  
+still, doing this got my foot in the game, and from there i started to learn about windows tweaks, game mods, and my favorite going forward...
+
+### linux
+to save the longer rant for a later day, i will simply say this - the second i got familier with linux, i felt more at home than i ever had on windows.  
+
+i want to run a game server 24/7?  
+no problem.
+
+need more file storage, but don't have any more to add to my hardware?  
+network attached storage.  
+
+linux doesn't just serve to not hold me back from doing what i want, but helps and elevates me to doing anything i want.
+
+my current operating system for all of my systems is [nixos](https://nixos.org), something i also hope to write about very soon.
+
+## games
+i have always been a very big fan of video games, having grown up with a wii, a 3ds, and a lot of mario.  
+since then, i have moved to a nearly steam/gog exclusive library, with some evil games that i had to get on.. epic.
+
+i'm very sorry.
+
+regardless, i have compiled a list of many of my [favorite games](@/blog/games.md)! check it out if you'd like!
