I'm a self-taught programmer from Australia. I began when I was about 9, but that was mostly just playing
with Repl.it and GitHub code.
I only use JavaScript. I don't know why.
I used to go under the name "sparkfire298". That name was a ripoff of my old favourite YouTuber,
Plainrock124. It's the exact same format and even character length.
I still use that name on sites like TikTok, Roblox, PSN, and Mastodon. Because I either don't know how to
change it, or don't care.
This website began in June 2024 and is my fourth site. Here is the first, the second, and the third.
I have made so many things. Here's my current, flagship projects:
ex3: functional discord bot with miscellaneous commands
pigeon: basic discord AI chatbot
exerinity.com: this website
I also play video games, mostly BeamNG.drive. I used to play CS:GO a lot but mostly lost interest following the release of CS2. I've said this before: Valve took a full stable game and replaced it with a fraction of that content with more bugs and better lighting. Not a very Valve thing to do. Why couldn't CS2 become a separate release, just like every other Counter-Strike iteration? And to completely kill CS:GO?? Yeah, I know you can get it back in beta settings, but it's just not the same... I can't listen to my 3kliksphilip music kit!!
I also play GTA V/O. I was banned in October 2024, for cheating, which, yes, I was cheating. I lost everything, which hindered my desire to play it. I still play it, and rebuilt quite a fair bit, but it's a bit boring. Public lobbies are shit, they'll set it to public, but kick anyone who joins! Don't have it public!
I also occasionally make YouTube videos, mainly about music. And TikToks, about shitposts. You can find a list of my socials here.
I also also make semi-advanced Closed Captions, one notable composition is "Broke Gamer Tries Linux" by Bealyread. I spent
about 6 hours on them.
I make them in a Netflix/Vevo style, with speaker tags, musical notes, sometimes colouring and positions,
and so on.
I have a very diverse taste in music. My drive has 73 GB of high-fidelity music (~7000 songs), my Spotify has 800+ liked songs since June 2023, and my YouTube has over 5000 liked songs. I have a special place in my heart for big room EDM. It defined a lot of my childhood, festivals, Asphalt 8, whatnot. Yes, Asphalt 8 was my childhood game. On an iPhone 4. I began playing it circa 2014-2015 and still play it to this day.
My favourite artists are Daft Punk, Martin Garrix, Simon Viklund, Linkin Park, AC/DC, Avicii, and
Eminem.

In other words, I like fast music.
I drive a BMW E46 330i. Made in Munich, in March 2001.
I use a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.
I'm areligious. Not atheist. That means I have absolutely zero interest or belief in it.
Ballarat, VIC, Australia. Cool city. Both figuratively and literally; it gets very chilly.
In between 15 and 19.

ecks-a-rinity. Not "exer-nity". But, I assume nobody is making any documentaries or YouTube videos about me,
so pronounce it however you want.
sparkfire298 is pronounced "two-nine-eight", not "two ninety eight".
