misc-ellany
hi! the name's moth, or misc, or lany, or whatever else you can come up with.
i use any/all pronouns and i don't really care what you call me as long as it's not super rude
i play games, mostly, but i might end up making one or two of my own someday!!!
(fun fact: my pfp is the first piece of pixel art i ever made for my first ever game dev project)
below are some game categories that aren't arbitrary!
> yeah these are mostly TTRPGs
> Capitalized Category: either auto-generated by itch OR stuff i've yet to use/play enough for me to rate (which is an arbitrary bar; alternatively, i possibly forgot i have yet to rate it) OR misc stuff like Wishlist
> lowercase category: snarkier names that correlate either to a Capitalized Category (ex: games of itch and Itch Games) or to some unifying theme (such as vibes, genre, or system) // all items have blurbs relating to my experience with said items
> for: <short name here>: categories that aren't listed on my profile but also aren't private; i use these to store game recommendations for particular friends!! collection names are always a short phrase (example... for: a friend who writes letters) so as to make them harder to randomly stumble on
