If you've arrived here to learn more about me or to ask something, you've come to the best place! People call me by a variety of different names, but you may call me Mel, same as my Steam username. I'm no pro gamer, but I've been around the block with years of exercising my pair of digits and stockpiling an okay game collection under my belt. Enjoyed the good ol' days of Xbox Live with Halo 3, COD4, and Gears of War 2 before the last console I owned, the 360, RROD'd. Then I hopped on to PC gaming through Team Fortress 2 and never looked back.

These days I enjoy playing through amazing single player game experiences, Co-Oping with friends in casual multiplayer games, and making as much progress as I can in games with my Steam Deck. I seek to make up lost time from studies, the 'rona, and personal troubles by being more active with beating new games and making new gaming buddies.

I'm a huge fan of the Ace Combat, Mass Effect, and Like a Dragon game series and strongly resonate with the Playstation 2 as my favourite console of all time. Outside of gaming, I'm a car enthusiast who also loves to tinker around with digital editing suites.

This will be the FAQ section for common inquiries and the usual things people leave on these profile walltext boxes for yours and my convenience.

Q: Can I send a friend request?
A: Sure, if you need to ask something or just want to add for the fun of it, why not? I'm open to most folks, but I will I decline requests from suspicious looking accounts for potential scammer reasons.

Q: Can we chat or play together?
A: I'm open to chatting if you have something you'd like to discuss or would simply like to say hello! For playing, let me know what game you have in mind and we'll see if we can play a few rounds. I don't response instantaneously or sometimes forget, so send messages to me early and catch my attention then I'll response when available.

Q: Do you want to play Apex/Warframe/an MMO?
A: I'm retired from competitive games and PVP games in general since I find them hard to relax without a full squad of friends and enjoy chilling in PVE games more. Especially MMOs, because they are a time-sink and I've enacted a personal rule of only playing one heavy time investment type game at a time to avoid overspending time or money.

Q: Rate for rate?
A: If you've come here to rate for rate and you've rated and/or awarded one of my weird creations, let me know and I'll return the favour ASAP. A direct link to your content also helps!

Q: Can we trade items?
A: I don't plan to trade any of my skins, weapons, and items for memories and collections sake, but don't mind lending a card if you need one to complete your badge.

Q: Can you make a wallpaper?
A: I haven't created a wallpaper in Wallpaper Engine in a long time, so everything is foreign to me now. I can't make any new wallpapers anymore, but I can update them if there are issues with the existing ones.
