I don't know how to start with this introduction and I doubt anyone will actually read this so here goes. I also suck at introductions and this is absolutely not a diary since I am also a very private person. This site was started because I need a website as part of a CS50 requirement to get the certificate however I must add that I've always been interested in making my own website. I am no programmer (I am a finance bro) by any means and probably consulted W3 Schools a billion times (an exageration of course!). As I write this, I will soon begin an internship and have 6 to 7 months of spare time to burn. I've always been someone who liked having a project to keep me busy. In the last year alone, I've begun and have mostly finished a private project on my grandfather's service in the US Navy during WWII as well as various "minor" projects in-between. This just serves as the next major project as I wrap up the former. As you can probably guess, I do have a passion for history, always have. The periods of history that are most interesting to me have to be the Greco-Roman period, so roughly lets say from the Greek-Persian wars until around the fall of Western Rome. I've been meaning to do more learning about Eastern Rome, aka Byzantium but life has gotten in my way. For other historical periods, I would say the period from 1815 to 1991 captivate me by the sheer amount of change and innovation, unfortunately also by the horrors man has done.
You're probably wondering, "why the Sega Dreamcast?" or maybe not. I wasn't really aware of my surroundings, let alone able to understand gaming, having been born 2000 (yikes every year that date looks older and older). I was always curious about console history, I remember wondering about the GameCube disk on the Wii boot-up menu (you know the one), I later got one for myself for 80. I also became an avid watcher of the Angry Video Game Nerd in my early-teens. I was first mainly, if not only, a Nintendo fan, I had gone through the list of consoles, the Nintendo 64, the Super Nintendo, you get the point. Around 2017, I had finally decided to venture beyond only Nintendo and the Sega Dreamcast was the one I had decided to try out and I feel in love with the Dreamcast, it is probably the most quirky console known to man. The games library is wacky and unique, I'd argue only the GameCube comes remotely close! I could go and on about the quirks and how it feels unique but I'd recommend giving the Dreamcast a shot. One could say this website is an homage to the Dreamcast (and my need for a project). I will also add that all the writing done on this website is 100% AI free as in I had to write all of this myself!
I also have many other passions, I love nature and especially animals, cats, sheep, dogs and squirrels to name a quick list of animals. I try to keep in shape by working out. I do game quite a bit (less now than before), these days mainly on Steam and on Dreamcast as well as Minecraft, where the name NetherYoshi was my Minecraft name from September 23, 2012! I read a lot, I'd say 99.99% is non-fiction, mostly history, finance or geopolitics. As one could probably tell, unlike the large amount of users on this site, I'm not really an artist-creative type, I've never really been one. I was always stronger with music as a matter of fact and math. However, as a part of this website's plan, I fully intend to make a lightbox and take my own photographs of the various Dreamcast related items. First because I can also take higher resolution photos of items and second because this means I can also capture different angles. It also removes the potential issues of using other people's images. I'm also into vintage/old-school cars, mainly the General Motors offerings from 1956 to 1996, especially their full-sized sedans and station wagons!
