idk what to put here for now, but this is still under construction.

Hi there, I'm Tora! I'm just your typical otaku that can be found in a couple of different nerd circles with an interest in anime, geography, nature, technology, video games, Japanese language and culture, and cute girls doing cute things. Often tired and slow to do things, but also mentally in a rush.I really just made this so whoever needs to find alternate places to contact me can one easy place to go, but also to share my gaming user ID's if anyone wants to add me.

Some basic tidbits about me.

he/him, in case you were unsure.Time Zone: Eastern Time Zone (UTC-05:00)born in the early 2000's.Native English speaker, beginner at learning Japanese.I use yyyy-MM-dd date formatting. That's the correct order, fight me. Also, Monday is the first day of the week.Occasional gamer, but not hardcore. Intermediate-casual?Most active on Discord, but occasionally on Reddit too, and sometimes Mastodon.YouTube uploads are inconsistent. I leave my notifications off, so if you leave a comment or reply then I might not see it for a while.A bit of a road nerd.I don't have a set DNI criteria, but you know who you are if this sounds threatening.
