All about Zenith!~

Hello, I'm Zenith! I'm a nonconforming transfem catgirl who loves retro computing, music, art, and a whole bunch of other stuff!
I'm also learning programming and animation, at least trying to teach myself. I have kind and patient friends who help me. I'm also (slowly yet surely) learning to speak Japanese!
I have a lovely wife who has a similar website that you can visit using the AshieCorner badge on my sidebar


Pets

11 cats!
2 dogs!

I know it sounds like it'd be hard to manage so many animals but it's really not, at least for my family. Everybody gets along and keeps their personal space and there's usually a different cat in every room!

Programs I use

Aseprite
FL Studio
Notepad++
PaintTool Sai 2.0
RealWorld Cursor Editor
VMWare Workstation
Zone Builder

These are the programs I regularly use for art, music, code, and plenty of other things like creating SRB2 levels and using virtual machines.

Favorite games!

Half-Life (1 and 2!)
Kitten Burst
Minecraft
OpenRCT2
Portal (1 and 2!)
Sonic Mania
Sonic Robo Blast 2
The Sims 4
Trackmania United Forever
ULTRAKILL

These are most of my favorite games! There's lots of variety, from shooters and sims to speed and platforming. I guess I have pretty varied tastes.


PC specs

Starlight
Windows 10 (modded to resemble Win7)
Fedora Linux+KDE (on a second HDD)
1TB SSD
1TB HDD
4TB portable HDD
AMD Ryzen 7 5800
nVidia RTX 3060
32GB DDR4-3200 RAM

I'll have to admit my family saved up for years to afford this PC and any attempt I make at saying how grateful I am is still an understatement. Games look and run beautifully and it can handle all of my programs way better than my old laptop!

I have quite the variety of electronics, dating all the way back to the 80's! I have music equipment, phones, laptops and a PDA. Somehow I still find a use for all of them even in today's vastly superior age of technology.
