Hi! What's your favorite videogame?

Fallout New Vegas, followed by GTA V. I really liked Baldur's Gate 3 so far, but I'm probably going to play a lot more sporadically during the semester.

Do you have any subject you're super interested in and could talk about for 2 hours with no prep?

Audio engineering, music, control theory, and math, specifically linear systems, integral transforms, and calculus in general.

What are your thoughts on the Fediverse?

We got a good thing going here. I'm a bit concerned about the Meta federation stuff, more so for microblogging services than the threadiverse, but I think we'll tank it. I really hope that Peertube takes off.

What are your hobbies?

Guitar, audio mixing, audio programming ๐Ÿ’€, video games, watching gaming videos, engaging with people on Lemmy, cooking, and reading math and physics textbooks.

Yeah I'm into weird shit, but not the fun kind of weird.

Everything is fun to someone! It's mathematically infeasible that you could be the only one in the world with any particular interest!

Though, yeah, finding other people with the same interest is definitely easier if you're into things that are clearly mainstream.

Please talk my ear off about control theory. There has got to be a better way to get motors to stay put than beating my head against the brick wall that is PID tuning parameters trying to find a value of I that doesn't make the oscillation progressively worse as time goes on
