-idk im too lazy to write about myself, bother me if you really want me to
+hello, i'm dusk!!
+i like to do many different things, but perhaps mainly i want to create stuff to inspire others to create stuff. at least i'm convinced that's what i wanna do xD.
+software is my means to that end! (it's what i'm most proficient with lol)
-(i will do this later)
\ No newline at end of file
+i'm also trying to learn:
+- how to draw (for concept art mainly)
+- modeling / texturing / sculpting (these i have more experience with!)
+- playing (acoustic, later electric) guitar (have to practice actually...)
+
+my hope is to make many video games, ideally do the majority of the work myself and as said before, have people be inspired by them.
+which is, well, kinda hard it turns out. so that's gonna take a long time probably (lmao)...
+you can see some of the stuff i deem "okay" on my [itch.io profile](https://yusdacra.itch.io/)
+(although those are by no means the only stuff i have worked on, have a lot of incomplete stuff, or stuff i don't want to show :3)
+
+software wise you can just look at my github and gitea account to see what i like to use (is linked on the home page)
+
+i like and interact with way too many media, mostly video games (can you guess that i like video games), here are the ones that influenced me the most:
+- all 07th expansion works (most notably when they cry)
+- all Project Moon works
+- outer wilds
+- splatoon
+- steins;gate
+- kino no tabi
+- serial experiments lain
+- LISA the Painful / Joyful (and some of it's fangames)
+- VA-11 Hall-A
+- SCP antimemetic division tales (by qntm)
+- pokemon (unova my beloved)
+
+honorable mentions (i want more people to see these cause i love them too much not to list):
+- mr. rainer's solve-it service
+- [fireball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireball_(TV_series))
+- SANABI
+- opus: echo of starsong
+- the red strings club
+- q.u.q.
+- bug fables
+- haibane renmei
+- project wingman
+- gosick
+- tomorrow won't come for those without ██████
+
+you can also look at [my steam profile](https://steamdb.info/calculator/76561198106829949/?all_games) for games i played, although not everything is there.
+
+what else, i like robots a lot, maybe too much. want to become one.
+i want to learn japanese (i'm failing hard).
+i like to listen to music (shocker), check my [youtube music profile](https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCE_r0yMNQhOWituywmOJgzA?si=7DTUV9PFqcKxJyl1) i guess to see a bit of what i listen to.
+
+idk if you wanna know more just hit me up and i'll gladly nerd out, or if you want to play anything i may be open to it...
