About me:
Hey, I'm Xane! I started this webpage because carrd.co is dumb and stupid and I feel more comfortable with HTML/CSS.
Some basic facts about me:
- American, but I'm not telling specifics to random strangers online. That's creepy, and I am NOT a creeper.
- I use EST.
- She/her preferred for pronouns. He/him is ok too, because I like being mysterious.
- I identify with the orientations of asexual, demiromantic, and heteroromantic.
- Most of my accounts are xanekete, like Discord (page links to Pokemon SWSH discord server), Tumblr, Backloggd, Steam, and website email (xanekete@proton.me).
- I speak English (native) and a little bit of Japanese. Enough to play a few games in it, not enough to talk to people.
Some fun facts about me:
- I'm a proud human being who likes gaming.
- I'm very normal about some guy from a puzzle game series.
- My favorite fish is the (giant) oarfish! It's so long and weird and it mysteriously washes up on the beach dead. Also, it's the longest fish in the world. What an absolute baby!
- Some of my other favorite fish include the spotted garden eel/splendid garden eel, and the lake sturgeon. What can I say, I just like fish.
- My interests outside of gaming include hiking and birdwatching. (Or, as the cool kids say, I like touching grass.)
- I hope to go into natural resources (especially wetlands-related) management and restoration work in the future. Or just government stuff on a state or federal level, that would be nice. If you have any connections to the US Forest Service, US Department of Interior, US Fish and Wildlife, or USGS please let me know!
- Currently, as of 2025, I'm studying environmental science in university, as well as participating in undergraduate research there. I've currently presented posters at two whole conferences!
- I used to actually have an interest in AI development, but everything that comes out image-generation wise is SO ugly aesthetic-wise nowadays. Also the whole artists owning their own work thing seems pretty important. Repulsive in multiple directions. Also ChatGPT is overrated, though other LLMs are interesting to me. This is still dicey, considering how there's not only shaky ethical grounds on how things are labelled and scraped. I like this video a lot, if you want to learn more.
- Sign my guestbook.
- I do a little trolling.
Use either of these button to refer to my site! (may make more in the future, contact me on my main Discord account (xanekete) or follow me on here if you want me to link to your site as well)
