Hi, you can call me jan Aki. My pronouns are left as an exercise to the reader
@tinfoil-ball is my "reblog dump". This blog is for original posts and when I say stuff
I only like posts when I want to save them (historic posts/posts I really like), so I recommend going through them cause there's some good stuff in there and I'm actually pretty proud of it
Minecraft! I usually play ssp or do redstone*. I'll sometimes play on Hypixel, 2b2t, or MCCI though. I also love niche facts about it. For example, there's an option that lets your character be left handed (which I take full advantage of), and the large fern item is arguably rarer than notch apples
*With redstone, I'm mostly interested in computational redstone. I have built a basic computer that I hope to improve at somepoint. I also dabble in other stuff like doors and farms, but it's mostly just computational redstone right now
Rubik's cubes and cubing (15s with CFOP, 20s with roux). This and minecraft are probably the things that I'm the least normal about
Photography (I have an Unsplash account linked in my linktree)
Mathematics! I wanna be a math(s) teacher, but I feel like I'm just a hobbyist right now lol
Technology. Just, in general lol. I use Linux Mint, I like retro gaming, and want to get more into programming. I currently only know python as well as the basics of C/C++. I like trying to learn how things work and using that knowledge to fix (mostly software) issues. It's like a fun little puzzle
Juggling! My current focus is learning 5 balls and getting better at 3 clubs. After that, I think I wanna get into siteswap
toki pona! sina wile la, o toki pona tawa mi!
lojban! I'm still Very New, but I'm working on it
Actually I'm taking a break from learning Lojban because I'm from a very monolingual place and think it's a better use of my linguistic interests to learn a natural language. Anyways, the punchline here is I'm learning Japanese (again, still Very New)
Memory! I have a numbers PAO system but it isn't perfect and I'm not very familiar with it yet. I'm also working on getting better with names and faces
Stenography! I'm learning lapwing theory and use the splitography. I'm pretty new though
Conlanging, though I've yet to finish making one. In that same area, also worldbuilding and neography. This one's also shelved for the same reason as above. I still consume conlanging/worldbuilding/neography content, but I probably won't make anything in the near future
And probably a bajillion more things. As you might be able to tell, there are a lot of things that I've looked into but haven't quite gotten into
Games I like include (in no particular order) Liero, Portal 1 and 2, Minecraft, Horizon Zero Dawn, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Stardew Valley, Skyrim, Celeste, Subnautica, and Trackmania
Games I want to get into/am in the middle of my first playthrough include Rainworld, No Man's Sky, Subterfuge, 5d Chess With Multiverse Timetravel, Civilization VI, Ocarina of Time, Horizon Forbidden West, and Titanfall 2
Oh, and I also like Komi Can't Communicate, RWBY, Bocchi the Rock, Gravity Falls, Hololive, Hermitcraft, the life series, and the Arc of a Scythe trilogy. I'll also sometimes watch MCC
I didn't make the userbox
If this user eated soap. They dont eat it bc they did. No they didnt ❤️
When I play tetris, it's usually nes tetris but I took a bit to properly learn some stuff about modern tetris and it's pretty fun. The 7-bag randomizer and hold let you do some cool stuff
I also realised how much the tetris community loves three letter acronyms
I passed a flower shop next to a tattoo shop and at first I laughed because I thought it was ironic and then i freaked because IMAGINE YOUR OTP IN A FLORIST/TATTOO ARTIST AU

i still love that my introduction to crypt (valefisk) was my friend finding it on steam with no context and playing it with me in the room and us getting obsessed with greg from the crypt before we even knew he was called greg

Okay, the day's over so I feel better about sharing my first four guesses. I think it left me with a fun puzzle that showed off at least part of the absurdity of this word
As a qol thing, here's the letters I haven't guessed yet: dhjkpqvwxz
One thing that's helped me go to bed is realising how much more I'll enjoy the video I'm watching when it's morning and I don't feel tired and horrible
