Hi! My internet alias is Partonetrain, but you can just call me “Train”. I was born raised and San Antonio and am currently living there. I am 25 years old. I am an AMAB non-binary person and I use any pronouns – I do not really care how you refer to me. I try to refrain from divulging more details than that about myself for obvious privacy reasons.
My interests are relatively limited to the scope of computer science and gaming. I like a variety of games, and a lot of them are niche. Historically I’ve been most “into” first-party Nintendo games, but I do more PC gaming lately. I’m somewhat involved in the Minecraft Modding community. I used to be really into competitive Smash Bros, but now I lean into Guilty Gear -Strive-.
I created this website in April 2021 to put myself out there a little more, even if I have to use the alias. I have a whole lot to say, but didn’t have a good way to say it – until now! You can expect blog posts about games I’ve played, life experiences, miscellaneous media reviews, things I’ve made, and more.
FAQ
What do you do?
My primary “professional identity” so-to-speak is a software developer. I won’t ever get into specifics for privacy.
What does the alias mean?
If I’m being honest with you, Partonetrain doesn’t really have a meaning. It started with just “Partone”, which were two mostly-random words that sounded good as a username when I was, like, 8. I added the “train” bit when some game or website I was signing up for already had a user named “Partone”. After entering Smash tournaments as “Train” and having been called “Train” by others in real life, that just sort of… became my name.
What is the site icon?
The site icon is my Minecraft skin’s face, depicting the character A from Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. The character’s icon from that game also serves as the homepage button. I may also use art of A as a profile picture.
What Minecraft mods have you made?
A bit too many to list. Check out my CurseForge or Modrinth profile. Most-downloaded is Mana Gear, but my favorite is probably BotaniaCombat. Both Botania addons; I really like the design of Botania.
I’m also a member of Violet Moon. I help maintain popular mods like Quark.
Who do you main in Smash?
In Ultimate, I mained Young Link. He’s a very free-form zoner with lots of options and cool combos. I can already hear the groans about projectiles in the distance. Learn to block. :)
I secondaried Roy, and have a pocket Byleth as well as Cloud.
In P+, which I rarely play, I main Sheik and Lucario. If I got roped into playing Melee, I’d probably play Sheik as well.
Who do you main in Guilty Gear?
Testament! I love them so much.
I played Ky before Testament was playable in Strive.
