Origin of Name

This is actually one of my game names. It comes from "that's mumu." However, since I did not want to name myself "thatsmumu," I gave myself the last name "Daz." If I am playing a shooting game like CS:GO or a public/cooperative game, I will use the name "caxkr" instead. This is also my steam account ID! Nowadays, I almost never plays games that will require public cooperation because I have a mac and macs heat up and are at risk of exploding when running. Also 2/3 of good games on steam are only available on Windows :DDDDD

Favorite Games

I LOVE Undertale by Toby Fox and Deltarune and have completed Chapters 1 and 2 of Deltarune. I cannot wait for the other chapters to come out. I also play Dead Cells, Hades, Cuphead, and Oxygen Not Included. My mac can fortunately (only) run these games and I connect my PS4 wireless controller to my mac when playing these. Dead Cells and Hades are both roguelites and I really like them. I have around 30 games in my steam account, but I do not really have time to play them all these days cuz college. My mac also cannot run half of the games after the updates (???like why???). My brother thinks I waste too much money on games but that is obviously not true. My FAVORITE FAVORITE game is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I have hundreds of hours in the game on my brother's Switch, and I can't wait for Breath of the Wild 2 to come out this year! I hope I will have saved enough money to buy a switch and the game by then.

Academics

I have no idea what I want to major in, but I am interested in ECE + Chemistry! I am taking organic chemistry this semester and I am blown away by how interesting it is. I wish there was a Chemical Engineering major at Duke.

Hobbies

I love reading, especially books that are part of the classical genre. I currently have more than 40 physical books in my room that I have bought over the course of last semester, and I have 20+ online/kindle books as well. I have finished about 22 books since August 2021 and my goal is to read another 50 books in 2022. Some of my favorite books include

• The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
• A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

Both of these books have a heavy emphasis on the duality of good and evil and the importance of free will. I just finished reading The Iliad, and the book has inspired me to buy classical/ancient works (wayyyyyy before the 1900s/1800s) such as Metamorphoses by Ovid.
