Community organizer pursuing game development. I live by my principles & value integrity above all. I have a varying bias toward multiplayer & coop games.
Favored games: AOE2, ARMA, CMW, INS, JOTR, MORDHAU, RO2, & RS2.
I have no pretentious requirements to receive friend requests but please consider introducing yourself when you're available.

Some oversimplifications I appreciate:

(attributions removed to avoid people @ing me with inane bias)
• "You are what you love. Not what loves you"
• "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."
• “Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war”
• "I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it."
• "Everything you do sends a message about who you are and what you value."
• "Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has, as its ultimate goal is the betterment of humanity"
• "Remembering on both sides, that civility is not a sign of weakness and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear but let us never fear to negotiate"

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT by Reason

Whenever someone sends you a link to a website, you must always read the address very clearly! There's always a chance that your friend didn’t read the domain name, clicked it, and became infected... now their account is sending their friends the same malware links!

Two common Steam malware examples:
1) Fake screenshots
Where a scammer bought a domain name that's similar to a popular image sharing site with an intentionally misspelled domain name. They then send a message with a link, stating it's a screenshot but instead of opening it downloads, and upon opening it the code runs.
"Hi friend, you need it? example.com/screenshot.png "
2) Fake Steam links
This second example is more dangerous because it’s a fake domain name intentionally misspelled to pose as Valves steam service. An example of this would be steamcommunity.com with a single m instead of two.

Fortunately, steam now auto-blocks most websites which aren't whitelisted but you should always read website addresses very closely before clicking them. Regardless of how long you've known the sender and whether you talk to them daily or yearly for their account may have been compromised with malware.
If you or a friend have been infected, change steam and email passwords!
