24Hello there pal! I am Fredarica Maxima Strickland, better known as [=LeGurdah=], an Autistic mostly chipper small-time [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} non-binary trigender]] pixel artist slash small-time occasional VideoGame/GarrysMod artist slash [[GameMod sole game mod developer]] who likes to play video games. I tend to get a kick out of coding mods for ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosX SMBX 2.0]]'', ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'', and probably some more. Sometimes it'll even be a few other games I code mods and/or design unreleased custom levels for. I used to code my own unreleased small mods for ''[[VideoGame/DontStarve Don't Starve Together]]''.
25
26Though, I don't ''just'' enjoy video games, pixel art, and programming. I also enjoy essays, movies like ''Film/JacobsLadder'' and ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', animations like ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' and ''WebAnimation/TheBackwaterGospel'', ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' and Source Filmmaker animations like those of ''WebAnimation/STBlackST'' (for the former case) and ''WebAnimation/EmesisBlue'' (for the latter case,) and music. And reading up on mythologies like those of Myth/{{Mesopotamia|nMythology}}. (I also have a fondness of color theory, so there is that.)
27
28Occasionally, I like to do writing as well. I have no idea if they ''can'' be thought-provoking, but I suppose if I ''think'' and ''write'' like a poet, or from my heart and mind, it could count as such, right?
29
30You may see me editing here from time to time.
31
32My pronouns are she/her, they/them, and zie/zir, and I have three genders, which are masculine, feminine, and androgynous.
33
34You might recognize me as one of the former older users on ''Website/{{Fantendo}}'', Maxstrickland[[note]]Yes, that was my old real name... well, partially[[/note]]. I now use another Wikia account under the exact same username you see me having today, though I'm no longer as prominent there as I once was in 2013-15.
35
36And in case you ask, my username is CamelCase, so it absolutely, positively has no spaces!

38[[folder:My favorite video games]]
39I don't just ''like'' these games. I also listen to the music most of 'em have from time to time! I do modding for a few of these sometimes, as I have mentioned before.

70!! I provide examples of...
71* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
72* {{Determinator}}: Once I've set up my goals, I will never give up on said goals. May even veer over into SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome territory. Beware of bragging!
73** ''VideoGame/DontStarve'''s [[HarderThanHard Adventure Mode]] was quite the case for me, as it took me ''half a month'' to complete it initially on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, trying to learn what I was supposed to do and what to know along the way. By a far more later comparison, completing Adventure Mode on the PC version only took me a couple of hours and a lot of luck to complete it[[note]]Though only for the first time around, at least[[/note]].
74** Pretty much my battles with most ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' and ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' bosses play out like this, where I'm willing to spend ''hours'' trying to kill some of the [[ThatOneBoss hardest bosses]] there ever was in these two games (with only a few exceptions.) And even then, I'd only use summons as a last resort, and I have my patience when it comes to grinding.
75*** Years after not having played ''Bloodborne,'' I picked it back up in the middle of 2023, made my way back through the Hunter's Nightmare in the Old Hunters DLC, beat [[spoiler:Lady Maria]] of the Astral Clocktower, made my way through the Fishing Hamlet, and, painstakingly eventually, beat ''The Orphan of Kos''. I'm not going to deny using the... 'er, CUMMMFPK Chalice Dungeon that let me grind a fuck-ton of Blood Echoes. Even then, I still had to beat him with Ludwig's Holy Blade ''while'' I ended up tensed ''and'' centimeters away from death (in-game of course.) The grinding only made it ''slightly'' easier on me there.
76** I struck again with ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'', this time I repeatedly replayed any boss battle I already finished in order for me to achieve the highest ranking possible. This meant I had to suffer through some of the game's [[ThatOneBoss most toughest bosses]] parrying at least three times, using my super meter attacks at least six times, not taking a single hit, and then having to do ''all'' of that under a strict set of time. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Then I did it with Expert and (eventually) succeeded again.]]
77** I fought through some of ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber'''s most dreadful moments to suffer through, particularly Hard Mode, and I was able to clear it with all achievements.
78* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Due to the fact that I'm not one who's too interested in making videos to record my experiences while playing video games, this tends to happen as a result.
79* IndyPloy: I tend to pull this trope ''a lot'' in video games when something starts going south in my delicate plans, which is... 80% of the time.
80* InnocentlyInsensitive: An unfortunate consequence because of my impaired social skills.
81* JackOfAllTrades
82* ReclusiveArtist: Main/{{Downplayed|Trope}}. Sure, you may know my identity, sure, you may have seen my average pixel artwork, sure, I am indeed outgoing and social... but I have little interest in showing off important personal life details (and my face) online. I additionally have very little interest in being interviewed for my personal life. Very few people I know, like an ex, actually got to see my face. I highly take after Music/CarpenterBrut in this regard. Another major reason I'm very private about myself is due to a bad combination of anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, unusual methods of socializing and an overwhelming fear of hurting others.
