About me :)


My name is Hadyn, and I'm 19 years old (born 6/26/2005). I've grown up around computers, and because of that, I've taken an interest in web development and coding. I've come to realize over the last year or so how much I hate the modern Internet -- I grew up with Windows 7, with old Adobe Flash games off of Newgrounds, with DanTDM's old Minecraft mod reviews; that era of the World Wide Web is extremely nostalgic for me. I've always liked older media (games/music/etc) so I find comfort in the current design of my webpage.

You can frequently catch me playing video games, most often these days being Team Fortress 2 or Deep Rock Galactic. My favorite of all time is definitely Half-Life 2, and I've been infatuated with Valve's games (excluding DOTA and CS) for a few years. I recently started collecting older consoles, so naturally I've started collecting Xbox 360 and PS2 games to match.


I infrequently make music, with my top song "Sincerely" at somewhere over 200k streams on Spotify. I watch a lot of YouTube, and I used to create videos on the platform. But outside of making it, I listen to a lot of music from jazz to hardcore punk! I'm extremely picky with music, even within my favorite genres, but click here for some examples of my favorite tunes. :)
