 # About Hex Studios
 
 ## // What is this?
-Good question. It *was* my personal portfolio site, used for listing on applications to corporate slop jobs, but over time I just grew into wanting this place to be a space where I can be unapologetically ***me***. You can still visit the old site [here](old2/index.html) if you want. It's pretty cool.

-So thats what this is. I'll still list my credentials and who I am, but I won't shy away from being me.
+That being said, ya boi's gotta eat, so this page will list my credentials lol.
 
 ## // Well then, who are you?
 My name is Chris. I make stuff, sometimes. By day I'm a software engineer working with C# and unity. I love programming and old technology, I spend my time outside of work learning the ins-and-outs of computers and electronics in general, using C and C++ to mess with native applications and embedded firmware, hoping to one day reclaim the magic of technology from the souless corporate sphere it currently lives in.
 
-Some of my hobbies include: Making and enjoying music, motorcycles, game development, light gaming (mostly indie games and older titles), homelabbing, poking at old technology.
