## extra
When I am not playing *factorio* or *squashing my commits*, I enjoy *riding my
bicycle*, *going for a run* or *even hiking*!
I have had a lot of fun being a *dungeon master* when playing
*Dungeons and Dragons* with my friends!
I love using my *Thinkpad X330* with *Archlinux/OpenBSD* for daily life.
*dwm*, *st* and *tmux* is the perfect combo, change my mind =)
