<h1>Let me introduce myself</h1>
<img

class="intro-img"

<p>
Greetings ! I'm just a normal guy who does coding for fun and I
love the old web and nostalgic stuff in general, and I try to love
my neighbor as myself. I have Autism and ADHD, and many specific
interests, mostly stuff that most people do not care about, like
my unreasonable obsession over physical media and Vocaloid. When i
learned more about the 1990s internet, I really wanted to make my
own website, and this is what I did.
</p>
</div>
<div class="about-me-divs text-containers-main-bg">
<h3>My Interest in the Personal Web</h3>
<img src="images/geocities.png" class="web-img-1" />
<p>
I don't remember when I first went on the internet, but it was
probably in 2007 or maybe earlier. So I have not experienced the
internet when Geocities was at it's peak. But I was still around
to experience some old forums and I remember how non-corporate and
personal the web used to be.
</p>
<p>
I have very fond memories of the old YouTube before the Google
acquisition. A few years ago, i found a video called "THE INTERNET
on April 4th, 1998", and that started my interest in the old web
and i was just amazed at how cool it used to be, and how people
used to express themselves in a creative way, even if some
websites were really simple.
</p>
<p>
One of my favorite game of all time is Little Big Planet, a game
where you make levels and share them with others, and I played a
lot of Lego<img src="images/win-98.png" class="web-img-2" />
as a kid, so I always had an appreciation for tools that allow you
to create whatever you want to do. With HTML, CSS, and JavaScript,
you can make your web-page look any way that you want to.
JavaScript is optional, but it's good for doing interactive stuff.
</p>

<div class="about-me-divs text-containers-main-bg">
<h3>My Kind of Music</h3>
<img src="images/gifs/kirby71.gif" class="music-img" />
<p>
I mostly listen to music from anime, movie soundtracks, and
Vocaloid. I also love 90s and 80s songs, and early 2000s songs (my
era). Classical music is something that's always soothing to my
soul. In general, I like music from different genres, as long as
they sound good to my ears, I'm not limiting myself.
</p>

<h3>My Love for Video Games</h3>
<img
src="images/gifs/iwata2.gif"
class="games-img"
title="R.I.P Satoru Iwata"
/>
<p>
Since childhood, I've been fond of video games; I owned many
consoles throughout the years: the PS2 was one of the first I
remember, I also had the GameCube, the Wii, the PS3, the Xbox 360,
GameBoy Advance, DS, PSP, and PS4. It was my favorite thing to do
after school, and I kept most of my collection. Nowadays, I mainly
play on the Steam Deck (mostly emulating older games) and on PC, I
also own a Switch OLED and Lite (the Dialga & Palkia Edition) on
which I play mostly Smash Bros and Monster Hunter: Rise.
</p>
</div>
<div class="about-me-divs text-containers-main-bg">
<h3>Favorite Movies and Series</h3>
<p>
Currently, I'm really into anime and manga, to name a few:
Azumanga Daioh, Nichijou, Lucky Star, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!,
Watamote, Evangelion, Pokémon, Serial Experiments Lain, Berserk,
Naruto, Studio Ghibli movies, and more.
</p>
<p>
In terms of other movies, my favorites are the Lord of the Rings
trilogy, Star Wars 1-6, Indiana Jones, animated movies such as
Wall-E and Brother Bear, Prince of Egypt, and many more.
