Welcome to my userpage! My birthdate in Unix timestamp is roughly 649,792,800. It would be really cool if a properly coded template could use that 32-bit integer to give us a user's birthday and age at the time a user requests the page that uses the template. Then you will know my age right away without having to update the information periodically! >:D

If you haven't guessed, I like coding things in programming and scripting languages. Specifically I like to code things in C# and C++.

I have been a fan of Mario since I was 8 years old when I got my SNES 2. I still have a special place for Mario but I have grown more accustomed to the F-Zero and Portal series.

I also play Mario Kart 8. My favorite character to use is Iggy. I played Mario Kart 7 more vigorously at one point as Metal Mario but I put that down in favor of the latest Mario Kart.

Best Emulators for Screenshots
SAVE IN PNG FORMAT!
 * FCEUX for NES (most accurate NES emulator I have ever used)
 * Snes9x for SNES (it used to be ZSNES but the project seems to be abandoned)
 * Project64 with Glide64 graphics plug-in for N64 (usually, but N64 emulation is very behind)
 * Dolphin for GameCube and Wii (very rare minor accuracy hiccups, usually with graphics)
 * VBA-M for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance (I may still recommend the older VisualBoyAdvance 1.8.0-beta 3 before VBA-M became a thing)
 * DeSmuME for DS (development seems to be progressing quite nicely)

Unused Files
I occasionally dig through Special:UnusedFiles. I mostly tag stuff there for immediate deletion or not sure if it should be deleted, but I sometimes find images that can be salvaged for use elsewhere on MarioWiki. I also try to reduce redundancy with images. Why have duplicate files on the Wiki? It's inefficient.
