Hi, I’m Alex. Better known as CheeseManFuu.
I’m a Pennsylvania-born 25-year-old based out of Texas. I mainly dabble in gaming and mechanical keyboards, however I try to dip my toes in just about everything that comes across my desk in hopes to find something that I can finally not be mediocre at.
I started foraying into gaming by the age of 3 with the original Playstation and NES since they were what my parents had at the time, but that kind of took an aside until I was closer to 6-7 when I started getting my own consoles like the Gamecube, the DS and the PSP. Towards about 10 is when my stepfather got me into Minecraft which started my PC gaming career, meeting my main group of friends online via a Reddit post made by my stepfather to recruit people into the server, eventually getting into Team Fortress 2 and greatly branching from there with the likes of Dark Souls, osu!, and so many branches off those that it’s hard to sum up what I even like (its not MOBAs, never ask).
From there, I mostly stagnated after I graduated High School for a couple years until I started working and quickly found a curiousity in custom Mechanical Keyboards, building or customizing almost 30 boards across the last 4 years. I would like to say I’ve dipped my toes into most things keyboards including designing a board, however the required funding for a proto and especially the incoming tariffs have unfortunately turned me off from that being a possibility.
Recently, I’ve also taken up Photography, after a couple years trying to cope with the resoundingly mediocre camera on the Pixel 7 Pro, with my mother and stepfather eventually getting me a Sony ZV-1F for Christmas of 2024, which because of its integrated lens eventually convinced me to upgrade to a Fujifilm X-T20 which allowed me to get multiple lenses for multiple use cases and I haven’t felt the need to look back in terms of photography.
I am also a fan of the character Byakuren Hijiri from the Touhou series, since about 2015 or so. I’ve amassed quite a large folder of art of her and have pretty much most of the easily available merchandise available for her. Unfortunately she doesn’t exist in the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil or Perfect Cherry Blossom entries, so she doesn’t get merchandise basically ever.
