RentMen: What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
DanimalTiger: Outside of my more professional interests, I have a passion for music, gaming, astronomy, and biology.
I sing and still play some of the instruments I’ve learned (piano, cello, trombone, harmonica). I made a few music videos during that awkward time in 2020 when we were all stuck inside without much to do. I’m happy to share them if you’re looking for a good laugh!
I play several extraterrestrial exploration and engineering video games, and occasionally stream on Twitch. I build rocket ships in Kerbal Space Program, and launch little green aliens into space. I design asteroid bases in Oxygen Not Included, and try to keep my duplicants from suffocating under a pile of sand they dug themselves into. I also find zen in building planet sized machines in Satisfactory and Factorio. Besides those I’m an avid fan of Pokemon, Pikmin, Paper Mario, and other Nintendo franchises that don’t begin with the letter P.
I like to grow plants and have a small herb garden. I also have an extremely friendly pet dog, though if there’s any concerns like allergies, I have several enthusiastic dog sitters who love any excuse to watch him.
