profile

seems like ppl share a lot of stuff about themselves on these pages. i am personally not very keen on oversharing things at places i deem public, but i think there's a lot i can tell about myself either way.

let's give it a shot.

i started going by remi or rem a while ago, but people also generally know me as kat. i am 24 years old and growing, struggling to be in touch with societal expectations. despite majoring in computer science, i kind of resent computers and the IT field in general, but still undeniably see the former as my primary medium of creative expression wherever i plan to go.

i strive to be a creative person. i have not yet found my passion, but at least i had a shot at drawing (never got anywhere with it), game development (it's pretty complicated), and writing software (hampered by my attempts at job hunting, and it's kind of hard to be creative under the pressure of being somehow presentable to the corporate). i am currently trying myself at writing, entertaining my curiosity with standup comedy, and giving my second shot at video making. i once ran a youtube channel for which i made 4 videos (sadly unpreserved), and that is a strong motivator for me to try it once more. feels better to commit to something you know you're able to finish.

you could derogatorily describe me as a gamer and a weeb, and i would not particularly like those words because i am definitely not as passionate of either videogames or anime as i used to be. i am definitely somewhat of a music nerd, and overall i have strongly defined opinions on all the media in general. since life has not been kind to me, my standards for things entertainment rose quite sharply over the years, but i find this impromptu pretentiousness quite appealing, as finding something that does meet my standards feels incredibly rewarding and fuels me with a lot of passion to keep going. i seek to put that passion into all my work going forward, however self-indulgent it may seem.

i am not yet comfortable sharing my profile pages on resources like anilist or rate your music, but i am an active user of the latter as well as its videogame counterpart glitchwave, both of which i highly recommend for tracking music, movies, and games alike.

if i was held at gunpoint and forced to name 5-10 artists or pieces of media that i really enjoy, it would look something like this:

music artists: dean blunt, injury reserve/by storm, sampha, actress, tirzah, vylet pony, betcover!!, 100 gecs, caribou, yves tumor

videogames: cyberpunk 2077, persona 3, burnout 3 takedown, the stanley parable, gran turismo 4, metroid zero mission

movies: blade runner, everything everywhere all at once, the grand budapest hotel, synecdoche new york, john wick

anime: mobile suit gundam: the witch from mercury, samurai champloo, cyberpunk edgerunners, serial experiments lain, bocchi the rock!, monogatari series (possible red flag to some but GOD the characters are amazing), scott pilgrim takes off

other than the things named above, i also have quite a bit of interest in pro wrestling. if i were to be asked who my all-time favorite wrestler is, i'd probably say it's jon moxley.

think i've run out of ideas on how else i can introduce myself. probably means i said all i needed to say.
