I'm a retro gamer living in Colorado, USA. I'm a lifelong fan of early Final Fantasy titles, especially FFVI, and I'm probably playing its randomizer ROM hack, Worlds Collide. Iris, my 10-year-old Welsh Collie, is a frequent "guest" on my stream. We'd love to meet you!

[Final Fantasy VI: Worlds Collide](https://ff6worldscollide.com/) is an open-world randomizer for Final Fantasy VI on the SNES. Players begin aboard the airship and can travel freely between the Worlds of Balance and Ruin to discover characters and espers. Once you've gathered enough, you can face off against Kefka.

Iris is a 10-year-old Welsh Collie from a sheep farm in the UK's Cambria Mountains. She was one of four siblings of an accidental litter, and I adopted her at 8 weeks old. Iris is a wonderful companion, and loves to make appearances on my stream — she might even be up for a trick or two!

Be kind, respectful, and inclusive to one another. Bigotry and hate speech won't be tolerated and may result in a permanent ban. Profanity is okay, but do read the room. Please leave your politics at the door. Backseating is fine but (1) don't be obnoxious about it and (2) never during races.

Although my stream is modest, all proceeds from subscriptions or donations go toward providing meals to food-insecure families in my area. I volunteer with [Lasagna Love](https://lasagnalove.org/) to prepare and deliver hot meals to families who need a hand. Your donations help!
