:wavegreen: Hello, all. :wavegreen:
Don't mind me, I'd just like to contribute.
Starting off, I believe it's worth mentioning grew up with access to the internet from the early age of 6. I've scattered across forum pages (sploder.com was awesome), Skype group chats, embedded chat rooms (such as Kongregate), IRCs (Rizon, freenode), and comment sections alike. I grew up with the frutiger aero aesthetic and I would really love to bring that back. To me, it feels like something so out of reach but still very much attainable.

Anyway, I am now 23. I have switched to Linux after 17 years. After a month, I tried to go back to Windows 11 and just couldn't. That being said, I did want some nice Vista-era style for my live background. That led me here, ready to let the 10-yo me inside out again. I've been browsing this forum for a few days, and I must say I am deciding to leave my mark in some way.

I'll try to wrap it up now since you know the story, so if you're interested I'll leave some quick info about me below. :yellow_bouncey:

:epic: Hobbies:
Horror media, sound design, 3D Modelling, networking, pixel art, modding, programming in C++/web dev, gym, EDM

:yellow_computer: Favorite Video games
Dead by Daylight, Skyrim, Fallout NV, Borderlands 2, Halo Reach, Resident Evil, Bioshock, REPO, Arma III, Dark Souls, Final Fantasy X

Feel free to reach out to me if there are any other questions or if you simply share any of my interests. :yellow_wave:

Welcome Melo! Must have been amazing being able to use the internet at such a young age. My parents never let me use the computer, in particular getting involved online at that age due to the whole idea of stranger danger and the internet being a dangerous virtual world, it was always with parent supervision. I see you are a fellow fan of Halo Reach and FFX, kudos to you man I love them too. With how I see things lately here and there on the web and applications, I see subtle reemerges of the glossy frutiger-esque aesthetic for logo branding and advertisement, so I have no doubt what goes around comes back around again and I am all in for that! Looking forward to seeing your contribution here with us! :cheers:
