Who are you?

I'm InvisibleUp, although you can just call me Viz. I'm your amiable ghost on the internet. OOOoooOOoo~...

I'm not a fan at all of the spooky stuff. I'd like to consider myself a nice, caring person. Above all else I'm determined to help people to be the best that they can be. I do not believe in being edgy or in being apathetic or demeaning. If you're having a bad day I hope you'll just relax here and read about Sonic or AOL or whatever. A friend once described me as "a breath of fresh air" so I'll take this as an invitation to be your spring air.

IRL, it's no surprise that I'm very much alive, and not hairless. I'm actually a young woman, with a curly reddish-reddish hair. I'm currently pursuing electrical engineering at the college. I'm a specialist in embedded device design and have worked on some cool things, such as space satellites and the overhaul of the entire department's reporting system.

Retro technology (everything is so much more exciting when there are limitations) Indie games, biking through nature trails, public transportation, and Sonic the Hedgehog are all things I am passionate about. But I'm always up for trying new things. Who knows? Perhaps I'll discover a brand new favorite thing. It's always a blast.

What is the goal of this site?

It's primarily a place to share thoughts. It's broken down into a few broad categories.

The Articles section, the first one with semi-regular content is where I attempt to explain and/or gush about things that interest me or about things I'm working on. It isn't updated very often because it is difficult to think of new content.

Some newer sections include the Hacking Notes, which contain some notes and utilities for modifying older video games and the Projects are an extensive list of work I did that stand on their own, and the Doodles, which is just my attempt to use my imagination to communicate my thoughts.

Any favorite games/webcomics/whatever?

I'm kinda into video games? Although I play them occasionally I wouldn't say I'm a gamer. I just think the whole medium is neat, what people can do with them, the experiences and emotions they can convey and how they utilize the tools they have to their advantage. Some games I'm kinda into currently or in the past are Night in the Woods, deltarune, Tetris Attack, a number of the Sonic series, and Minecraft.

My top three films are Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Forrest Gump and Kiki’s Delivery Service. I like my plots to feature lots of strong character interaction more than a flashy plot.

My musical tastes are... unconventional. Honestly, SoundCloud, YouTube, and old video games shaped my music tastes way too much. My favorites are either earworms with good basslines (I like 80's Jpop as well as 00's alternative) or instrumental pieces that allow you to feel the music, not just listen to it. (stuff like Fleetwood Mac, Styx, Blue Album-era Beatles and Pink Floyd.)

What's the matter with the username?

Surprisingly short story, actually. I was watching a Mario gaming marathon in aid of charity (led by MonotoneTim who is a cool guy) and needed an account name to join the chat. I thought, "You know what's awesome?" Boo mushrooms from Super Mario Galaxy that turn you into a ghost." Minecraft server list After about 15 seconds of thought I finally typed "InvisibleUp" in my head and continued. (In retrospect, I should have chosen something that had fewer syllables.

And the ghostsona?

I started out for years with a logo that looked vaguely like a ghost from Pac-Man. I really wanted a unique profile pic, so I made one. That being said, a few years later I decided that it kinda sucked. I felt a need to have an actual kind of human face to represent my posts instead of just some weird abstract logo thing. I wanted to have a more personal presence on the 'net than I had let myself have before. So, I came up with Inviz.

You could claim that she was influenced by Napstablook in Undertale and Vivian TTYD from Paper Mario. I could have drawn myself as a human, however I wanted to try my hand at creating an actual character. You know, I need to keep the ghost theme in motion. Also I'm kinda too squirrelly about privacy to use my actual face.
