Name: Scout
Email: scootarooni@gmail.com

Interests:
- Vocaloid, UTAU and other voice synths
- All types of art, but I particularly love digital art
- Instant and film photography
- Crochet
- Video games (I play a lot on my PC, 3DS and Switch. My favorites are Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Coral Island, Stardew, Hi-Fi Rush and Zelda.)

Anything else: I'm 27 and my pronouns are they/them. I would prefer to chat with folks closer to my age. Other than that, I'm pretty chill and open to talk about things not on my list of interests! I enjoy listening (or in this case, reading) about other people's interests. If replies are slow it's because I think carefully about what I want to say and go through a few drafts before what I send looks coherent X^)

Prompts:
Tell me about your favorite flash game.
What was the last dream your remember?
What is your favorite local (non-chain) restaurant and what would you recommend from their menu?
Tell me your favorite piece(s) of trivia from your favorite piece of media.
What era of video game console(s) do you like the most and why?
