Who am I?

Hi.

    I'm Chase Ellis, born in '06 and consumed by the internet, mostly consisting of video games and brain-rot. I've been borderline obsessed with video games, internet culture, and fictional history of fake places (also known as Lore) for various pieces of media. Beyond that, I played the oboe for 8 years from 6th grade in middle school to senior year of high school,  I dabble in art, and enjoy Dungeons and Dragons. I'm going to LB, mostly so I can get a job that won't slowly kill me, but also to meet interesting and like minded people. I think I'm going into a New Media Communications degree, but considering I'm very indecisive (and lazy) there's a chance it could change.

    What I'm most interested in learning about media and culture is just how many people don't know how to properly use or engage with media. As somebody who's been on the internet for over a decade I'm pretty versed in what constitutes as "rage bait" or some crack-pot clickbait article. A lot of people have lives outside of the internet though, and don't know that those "15 facts doctors don't want you to know" are complete bull. But beyond poking fun at them, I want to help people differentiate between real, human-produced and researched content, and the fake, AI-made clickbait-y junk.
