About Me
Hey there. I'm beeks. I'm in my thirties and currently living in Texas. I use he/they pronouns.
I like video games, and I tend to gravitate toward the older stuff. My favorite genres are RPGs, survival games, and rhythm games.
When it comes to music, I mostly listen to neo-psychedelia, traditional heavy metal, power metal, disco, and indie pop. If I had to pick a handful of bands to call my favorites, it would be X Japan, The Beatles, ABBA, Electric Light Orchestra, Iron Maiden, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and The Apples In Stereo.
I have been participating in the furry community since 2003. My character is a spotted hyena named Len. In 2014 I got a Len fursuit made by Roofur. The picture of Len in the sidebar is by TexsaCoyote.
I also collect stamps and postcards. When I'm not playing video games, I'm often categorizing my stamps. I am a member of the American Topical Association. My favorite topics to collect are the Olympic Games, Dinosaurs, Space, and Cartoon/Comic characters.
Once upon a time, I took GLOG and kitbashed it with other TTRPG rules to suit my needs. It was a little broken, and still isn't finished, but it had moxie. Click here to read about the BCPRPG.
About the website
I made my first website in 1997 when I was about ten years old. It was about Digimon, South Park... and Veggietales.
I was a "very online" kid in an era when most people were still offline. I spent entire summer vacations in AOL chat rooms talking about Pokémon. I racked up insane phone bills in the age of dial-up that my parents were none too happy to pay. I filled the family computer with .wavs and full RealMedia episodes of The Legend of Zelda cartoon.
As life went on I bounced around from online community to online community. Somewhere along the line, the rules of the internet changed. Use your real name on your profile. Put a real picture of yourself as your profile picture. Make sure you don't post anything too "weird", because the next job you're applying for might want to read your account. Don't choose a garish background picture. In fact, don't worry about choosing a background picture at all. They removed that feature. Give the website your birthday info. Give the website your phone number. Follow the rules of the algorithm if you want to succeed.
Every big-name website has become the same boring white box, with an optional boring grey box if you're hankering for a dark mode. It made me realize how much I miss the variety and quirkyness of the early web, when the website would fully reflect the creator, even if that resulted in bad readability and loud autoplaying MIDIs.
So I made a website. It might be a little clunky, the old gifs might be corny, and it's not brimming with cool effects, but it's mine.
