Hello! My name is Erik - but online, I prefer to go by "Nifty". I go by he/him and they/them pronouns, and I was born on November 21 of 2006.
We all have those three or four things that just have an insane grip on our brains. Right? It's not just me, is it?!
Scott The Woz is one of my 2 favorite TV shows - and the less embarrassing of the two. It's a video game editorial of sorts, distributed via YouTube.
I first got into Scott The Woz in 2020, when we were all stuck inside due to the athlete's foot epidemic. I had been stuck at home, finding things to watch on YouTube for the past 3 months, when I stumbled upon a Scott The Woz video. I believe it was the Club Nintendo video? Anyway, after that, I was hooked.
My Little Pony is the other, more embarrassing TV show I like. Because everyone has to like a kid's show or two. ...Right?
RIGHT???
I first got into My Little Pony in 2012, when I was five years old. My sister was into My Little Pony, and by extension, I managed to pick it up from her, and then, fastforwarding to 2016, I had gotten bullied out of liking it by my peers. That was fun. Anyway, in 2022, I kept getting tweets in my feed about it on my Twitter feed, and I, unfortunately, got back into the show. Oops.
"Weird Al" Yankovic is my favorite musician. Because god forbid I listen to music that isn't funny, amirite?
I couldn't tell you when I first got into "Weird Al" Yankovic... both of my parents had been fans long before I was born - my dad since the mid 80s, and my mom since the early 2000s. However, when I first got truly into the swing of being a Close Personal Friend Of Al was in 2022, when my dad had me watch Weird: The Al Yankovic Story with him. I was already familiar with a few of his songs, since I had them on my (now broken) iPod, but that was when I became a true fan.
This is a more standard list of the things i like, ordered chronologically by release and/or premiere.
Does this belong on an "about me" page? Probably not. Do I care? Probably not. Here's some quotes that have stuck with me, or are just particularly funny.
