Welcome to my little corner of the net!

Introduction

Hey all! You may know me as pocky or electricangel depending on where you've seen me. I'm a hobbyist programmer and current dev team for Sonic Runners Revival. I sometimes dabble in game modding and smaller personal programming practing.

Some of my interests include retro games and animation. Consoles like the SEGA Dreamcast and the Game Boy Advance will always hold a special place in my heart. I've got lots of nostalgia for classic Warner Bros. cartoons and the majority of 90s TV animation. My favorite and most influencial movie however, has got to be 1991's Beauty and the Beast. The artistry of that film piqued my interest and opened the floodgates for my fascination with visual media.

Some Sonic Rambles

Of course, this being a Shadow the Hedgehog themed site, I am a huge fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, with Shadow being my favorite character (obvs). There's something about the series that always brings me back. A special spark that no other games quite capture for me. So, which games do I love the most? In terms of 2D adventures, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is my top, though Sonic Mania comes at a very close second, and the Sonic Advance games are fantastic on-the-go adventures as well! With 3D games, my top is a toss up between Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Unleashed. Both offer some of the best examples of the core 3D Sonic gameplay of their time (Adventure-style platforming and Boost formula respectively). I'd recommend any of the games listed to curious newcomers or fans who may not have taken the full plunge yet!

Some computer stuff

I'm always trying to grow as a programmer and expand my computer knowledge. I'm an avid user of Linux and do my best to advocate and use FOSS! You can check out the sidebar for what my current distros and desktop environment are.
