About Me

Introduction

Hello I'm p3tzel! I am a game developer, music producer, and programmer from Rochester, Minnesota in the United States. I am northern European and I have Dutch heritage. In the future I want to move to The Netherlands! I am genderfluid (he/they/she, call me whatever) and bisexual (bi one get one free).

Interests

As I said earlier, I am a music producer and game developer. I love playing the piano! I've been playing the piano for most of my life because I've always had a piano around me. Just the other day I started tuning my piano! (I have one octave tuned as of ). I also love programming. Recently I've been doing more web development (as you can tell), but I want to get back into software development this summer (2025). I really love how programming can be used to solve problems and used creatively.

Even though it may look like I'm a hermit, I love nature. I love to go hiking, biking, walking, swimming, or anything else like that. I also like skateboarding. I've been going to skateparks for most of my life but I only got a skateboard about 3 years ago (as of 2025). I used to ride a scooter (I know, I know) and play Skate 3 (I beat that game).

Video Games

I love playing and making games. I grew up with a Super Nintendo (which is why The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my favorite game of all time) and eventually got a Playstation 3. I'm pretty sure that (other than PC) I spent the most time playing games on my PS3. After I got my PS3, I got more into computers. I used to play games on my dad's computer (or my mom's laptop) until I got my own laptop. I used to play a lot of flash games, Minecraft, web based MMOs (like club penguin or Adventure Quest Worlds), Roblox, and other random PC games.

Then, in 2018, everything changed. I got my first Steam game, Dishonored 1 and 2! I played the s*** out of Dishonored! I love that game, but it got me into the rabbit hole that is... Steam! Over the 7 years (as of 2025) that I've had steam, I've finally amassed a collection of 250 games! I am officaly... a gamer (if you don't believe me, check my steam.db).

I am a real gamer! It's true (even if I regret it sometimes). Some of my favorite games are:

and probably some I forgot.
