A Short Introduction
Hello, I'm Zenith! I'm a girl-adjacent starborn dragon (species info later) who loves retro computing and art, among so much more. I'm a demoscener and game developer, and I mainly work on games for atari consoles. pushing these things to their limits makes me feel so alive. I also make most of the music and art for my own games, and just for fun really. I'm also constantly fascinated by science, physics especially.
I'm part of a wonderful polycule and have a lovely wife who has a similar website that you can visit using the AshieCorner badge on my sidebar 
links to our other partners' websites are available as well!
Pets
11 cats!
1 dog!
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.

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.
