Hello, world! Don't let the scruffy beard or the resting bitch face scare you off, I'm actually a big softy. When my hands aren't preoccupied typing away at the scripts my fellow hosts here rattle off on their videos, I'm usually either playing PC/Nintendo games, tinkering with tech and sometimes putting them back together, or hammering out a tune on piano. At various points in my life I've been called a copywriter, game designer, marketing associate, event host, livestreamer, Dungeon Master, gadgeteer, therapist, and "that guy," among others. I enjoy short walks on the beach, candlelit D&Ding, puppies, and figuring out how shit works. I got my feet wet as a content creator in 2007 when I uploaded my first cringe-filled YouTube video. Since then, I've become active on several different new media platforms including Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Facebook Live, Mixer, and others. While doing this, I also contributed articles and reviews to GAME! Magazine (Hinge Inquirer Publications) until its very last issue. What gadgets do you bring in your EDC? I rarely have a bag with me, preferring to do everything on my phone—a lowly Moto E4 Plus. But when I do pack a sling, it'll usually have my Steelseries Arctis 3 Bluetooth headset, Xiaomi ZMI QB820 powerbank, and Nintendo Switch at the very least so I'm set for impromptu all-day gaming on a whim. Who do you main in Smash? Lucas all the way! I love making 'PK Fire!' my opponents' earworm for the day. Do you have any pets? He's less of a pet and more of a deadly weapon, but my Taako—my ouch-mouse—means no harm. Massive kudos to you if you can tell me his namesake without Googling! How do you pronounce your gamertag, 'Ryvaeus?' I have no idea, go with whatever you like! Or do what my gamer friends do and just call me 'Ry," I don't mind. I made up that name back in high school before the days of Discord or Mumble, and so never needed to worry about how to say it over voicechat.
