Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
GenePark acts as the Simpsons' intellectual conscience, constantly critiquing industry trends and the misuse of AI, as shown in tweets like 'AI could’ve never written Gremlins 2' and 'i have to be careful what i say about AI, which is why my posts on the topic don’t really have my take on the tech…' which mirror Lisa’s habit of calling out media hypocrisy. He also defends his personal opinions against backlash and laments online negativity, echoing Lisa’s moral stand, evident in 'people seem to struggle with the idea of loving a game and talking plainly about it…' and 'the constant negativity of this app and the online discourse. i have not missed it at all.' His occasional vulnerability about health and need to step away from the noise—'hey all, taking some time offline and off work as i deal with health issues' and 'as someone who is very very sick atm, yes'—parallels Lisa’s moments of introspection and feeling out of place. This blend of sharp criticism, social conscience, and personal melancholy aligns most closely with Lisa Simpson among the main characters.
Your MBTI personality Type
INTJ
Gene's tweets show a preference for introversion, as he often mentions stepping offline and reflecting privately (“i’m taking some time offline and off work as i deal with health issues”). He displays an intuitive focus on patterns and future tech, repeatedly discussing AI and industry trends (“yes my post about expedition 33 was responding to the Larian backlash … it is everywhere”). His decision‑making is driven by logical analysis over emotion, evident in his critical assessments (“Indie game projects are no longer experimental outliers, they can define the mainstream, breaking past algorithmic prisons”). Finally, he prefers structure and planning, frequently publishing ranked lists and detailed reviews (“My top 10 games of 2025…”, “My ranking of every Halo game, separated to two lists”).

Your signature cocktail
Blue Bomber's AI Punch
The drink is a bold mix of bright blue Curaçao, a nod to Gene's excitement when "finally the blue bomber is back oh my god" (tweet). Coconut rum brings the "Pacific Roots" vibe from his bio, reminding of his love for tropical flavors and his reference to "Pacific Roots". Bourbon adds the "East Coast Rock" grit, echoing his gritty media criticism like "AI could’ve never written Gremlins 2". A splash of ginger liqueur gives a health‑boosting kick, reflecting his recent health struggles and his comment that "the constant negativity of this app and the online discourse" is overwhelming. The cocktail’s layered flavors mirror his blend of classic gaming nostalgia (e.g., "the paladin class thank god. i will finally play diablo 4") with cutting‑edge AI conversation, even noting the "first FBI official to ever block me". The overall vibe is both nostalgic and forward‑looking, just like Gene’s commentary on games, AI, and culture.
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
Gene Park consistently demonstrates a deep analytical approach and love of knowledge, hallmarks of Ravenclaw. In a tweet they note, "In May, my article with Expedition 33’s team included discussing the long history of cross cultural trade between Japan and France’s game creators," showing historical insight. They also critically examine industry trends, writing "Indie game projects are no longer experimental outliers… I only beg that The Game Awards will revamp their categories," reflecting thoughtful critique. Their careful commentary on AI—"I have to be careful what I say about AI, which is why my posts… don’t really have my take on the tech"—shows awareness and intellectual nuance. Additionally, their frequent references to scholarly sources and nuanced opinions, such as "my purely subjective game of 2025 will always be Xenoblade Chronicles X… it’s hard to understand but once it finally clicks," further underscore a Ravenclaw mindset.
Your movie
Your song
Welcome to the Machine - Pink Floyd
GenePark's frustration with AI encroaching on creativity is evident in tweets like 'Alan Wake 2: The Lake House is the most scathing and indignant critique portraying the absurdity of machines and generative AI replacing the creative process.' This mirrors the theme of Pink Floyd’s 'Welcome to the Machine,' which warns of being trapped in a technological system. Their experience of being blocked by an FBI official ('first FBI official to ever block me') and the 'constant negativity of this app' reinforces the feeling of being forced into a cold, impersonal machine. The song’s lyrical refrain 'Welcome my son, welcome to the machine' captures their sense of being ushered into a media landscape dominated by AI and corporate control while they try to stay true to their love of games. GenePark’s repeated calls for authenticity—'people seem to struggle with the idea of loving a game and talking plainly about it'—echo the song’s critique of conformity. Overall, the track’s blend of dystopian tech critique and defiant tone fits GenePark’s outspoken, gaming‑centric, and AI‑skeptical persona.
