'''Hi. I'm Kazaretski - Cosmic entity bringing the good vibes.'''

Graphic designer for 6 years, now looking to delve into programming and IT-related shenanigans. I also love playing (often competitive) video games on the side as well. I have a Steam page if you're interested in that.

Since I've been on Wikipedia more often recently, I thought: "Why not flesh out my own user page a bit more?" And so that brings us here.

General things I'm interested in
...as well as researching things I normally wouldn't. Examples being biology, politics and ancient literature.

Top 5 Games (In my opinion. Calm down.)

 * 1) Maplestory 2 (R.I.P.)
 * 2) Minecraft
 * 3) Garry's Mod
 * 4) Team Fortress 2
 * 5) Hiveswap

Graphic Design Journey
I've always found myself interested by graphic design. Both knowingly and unknowingly. I always paid ample attention to logos, symbols, and video's which were edited and crafted in cool and unique ways.

I attended a private secondary school, in which the last few years were focused on graphic design, multimedia and things of the sort. After graduating there, I attended a college which focuses on the same subjects, with more additional aspects to it.

Projects that I've made in high school and college can be viewed at my personal website. (See External Links)

Minecraft Journey
I first played Minecraft in the summer of 2013. I played Pocket Edition (back when that was a thing) on my uncle's iPad.

A few months later, I bought it for myself right when version 1.6.4 came out in September that year. I joined a variety of servers, ranging from Hypixel, The Hive, UberMC, Jerry&Harry, 2B2T, Minehut, UnraveledMC, TotalFreedom, several now-defunct private servers I made myself, as well as numerous others of which I've long since forgotten the name.

In 2017, I got tired of Minecraft so I moved on to other games for the time being. I made my return in 2019 due to several events that would usher in a Minecraft renaissance. Those being SMPLive, Ph1LzA's death in Hardcore-mode, and the start of PewDiePie's Minecraft series. Another reason was the start of Minecraft Monday, a Minecraft championship founded by Keemstar. In these events, a player named Technoblade would usually be one of the more dominant players. Seeing him fight was a big reason why I'm into the competitive side of Minecraft, even today. (Also known as PvP)

Combat in Minecraft differs vastly between version 1.8 and the latest versions. So much so that many servers still run on 1.8 today. I would personally consider myself to be decent in both of these, somewhat balancing them. Also peaking my interest are PvP-related events featuring YouTubers. Examples being the aforementioned Minecraft Monday, as well as MineCraftChampionship (MCC), Twitch Rivals, and events organized by Skeppy or MrBeast.
