Greetings, traveler!

Nice to see you actually going through my profile, big thanks for that!
I mainly like indie games, also relatively experienced at some popular games.
Nowadays I play less and less to prioritise work and other hobbies.


:balloonicorn: Team Fortress 2
(enjoying teamwork, liking playing Medic but also good at other classes)

:csgocross: CS:GO
(in 2015 I was a Guardian 2, after a year break I just accepted a Gold Nova, after many more breaks I don't have a stable rank anymore, I guess I can pull some good plays sometimes)

:soviet: Company of Heroes 2
(highest amount of damage dealt most of the time, prioritising USSR)

:PineappleGrenade: Battlefield: Bad Company 2
(Colonel rank with all unlocks, having a great time playing the game)

:dallas: Payday series
(can do both stealth and loud, no problem with any DW heist, doing DSOD lately)

:gmod: Garry's mod
(enjoying just talking to people, experienced TTT player)

About me

My name is Ivan, I live in Saint Petersburg.

First started working with my dad's computer at about 9 years old, at 10 started attending some IT courses. Graduated university, now working as a sort of developer / tech support hybrid — configuring CRMs and web-sites, developing Python app-modules in Django for said CRMs.

Because of my "Friendship is Magic" addiction I am usually calm and friendly to anyone. I will value your input and will gladly take any criticism. I don't care about the "toxic" attitude, I just listen to what I am being told, but it is always welcome if you learn to address people politely. It's not easy to be calm, especially for people who are always under stress in real life, but everybody needs to acquire patience at some point, it puts less stress on everybody else.

Some of my ideology:

Agnostic atheist. God(s) may or may not exist, it's up to science to prove one or the other which I state as the ultimate goal for humanity. I just wanna do my part in maintaining and improving society so that science may advance. In the end, it may or may not give us the answer.

Critical thinking is the most rewarding skill. You should only ever argue for the logical truth, drop your position when necessary. See your opponent as a person who also wants to solve a problem. A discussion is always better than a debate because there is no incentive to "win".

Some of my advice:

1. If you're constantly procrastinating, try listening to some chill music while you work. Classical, lo-fi, gaming OSTs. I particularly like putting on Minecraft, Stardew Valley and Ori.

2. If you find it hard to work on a computer at home without being distracted, consider going to a space designed for work: an office, a university, or a coworking place.

3. You are best at thinking while walking. Walking around your house or going on a walk outside will help you plan that one complicated project.

4. Studying is less important than your health.

5. Be patient with angry people, always consider what the person can be going through and how you can relate to them. But learn how to defend yourself when things go south.


So yeah, it's all you need to know, I hope you read it all untill the end.
Now I will very much appreciate if you leave some kind of comment below.
If you are not happy with something, I will be interested in talking with you.

@tolvanea And comments also boost engagement on YT videos, that's kind of the big thing as well. Besides that, a comment on a video with no or little to no comments is often more valuable to the author.

Regardless, I wouldn't overvalue these activities myself. Commenting, compiling playlists, reviews even. All of it should just be different kinds of support for the creator of the original work. Not that complicated, nothing to write home about. So I prefer not to make a big deal out of it. Some would even call it piggybacking off of the original work, and I agree with that to an extent.

Still, I do believe it has some positive impact so I'll continue doing it. Simply ordering things neatly and telling other people about my feelings towards music is something I genuinely like doing, though ocassionally and spontaneously.

Hopefully my attitude of "hey, you've worked hard enough, go take a break on the weekends, play some game" goes away, and I can actually return to my hobbies x)

Thanks! Yeah, made a better day too ☺️

Thinking that life and other hobbies should be also prioritized, staring the same pixel array may not be the most rewarding way to spend living hours. I have tried to quit ponies multiple times, but every time I find myself back to some corner of the fandom, because after all, it's what I enjoy. So it can be a good thing that life and hobbies gets on the way, so one can revalue the hobbies.

Can agree to the will to help the fandom to keep producing its art. Even though our comments are only a little things compared to the artist's effort, the discussion is the part of the appeal. On the comment section there's encouraging words, familiar faces, and also team spirit. This intensifies feelings and creates a memorable footprint on the music/art in the question. That is
the soul we are all after. So the comments are more than just feedback to the artists, it also makes it alive, and creates the appeal for us the audience

@tolvanea That's probably the nicest thing anyone ever said to me on the internet...
Don't even know how to properly respond to that.

I'm very much glad someone finds at least some use in the stuff I leave on my profiles or in my comments. I do try to support quality brony works as much as I can, though in the last year or so, because of work (and general laziness), I can barely keep up with my subscriptions even. Had to put most my hobbies on hold, that includes updating the themed music playlists and other stuff.

However, hearing kind words like these does motivate me to come back to it eventually.
Maybe it'll be rather sooner than later, because I do have kinda big plans for this thing...

Anyway, thank you so much for your comment!
Did definitely make my day a lot better. Hopefully, it'll be a better day for you as well :)

Read your profile, got to say, it is truly a quality profile. Sparked some thoughts even. Rare to see meaningful content there. Though, it may a have a supporting influence, that I'd identify as a logical thinker too (haha, my yt account "modus_ponens" is even named after propositional logic). I'm listening your yt playlists through currently. Over the years, it has been pleasant to see your well written comments on electronic pony music community. No, really, I may not recognize many commenter's outside artists, but you are definitely a commenter who graps my attention. Dunno, I have just associated you with good taste of music and good comments.

Thanks for encouraging to leave a comment in your profile, I probably would not have revealed this otherwise :D
