There are four games in particular that comes to mind that I'm especially excited to play this fall! 🎮

---

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 💀
A friend of mine convinced me to try the first game, despite it being quite old I quite liked it! So I'm very excited for the sequel, with seemingly more fun enemies to fight, absolutely gorgeous visuals and full on co-op campaign and missions. Am looking forward to playing through it with friends!

---

Kingdom Come Deliverance II 🏰
Despite it sometimes being a little janky, I absolutely loved the first game with it's attention to detail and it staying true to medieval Bohemia. It was also great to play a game where you aren't a typical action hero, but the lazy son of a blacksmith who can't read or write who's suddenly thrown into war. The sequel seems to be bigger and better in every single way and I'm beyond hyped!

---

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle 🗿
I'm a big fan of the original three Indy movies and this game is set in between Raiders of The lost ark and The Last Crusade. It's made by Machinegames, a Swedish studio which made the Wolfenstein reboots. They've successfully made fun first person games where you fight n@zis in the past, so I hope they can do the same with Indy! Some gameplay they showed recently looks promising!

---

Star Wars Outlaws 🌌
I think Star Wars gaming has gone strong, better than the recent live action shows! Now I'm very curious how it'll be when non-EA studios are allowed to make Star Wars games, in this case with Ubisoft! I hope this game won't have too many Far Cry / Assassin's Creed like elements and more be it's own thing but I'm cautiously optimistic! It's seems to be a more gritty game which doesn't focus on Jedi which I like! It's also made by a Swedish studio! If it wasn't for me wanting to play the game when it's finished, I could've signed up to be a tester for that game Haha

Oh hi! So, I have two separate versions of this question in my inbox (amongst many others that accumulated during my short absence) and I want to answer them both so, I'm going to use this one to talk about what I did last weekend... I hope you don't mind!

---

But to answer your question, I'm doing good! Last weekend I went on a short trip with my fiance to one of our favourite cities, Manchester, for his thirtieth birthday. Manchester has a lot of personal significance to us. It was one of the first places we travelled to together as a couple, way back in 2018. It was also where we got engaged, some years after.

---

We spent our time exploring, mostly. We had a couple of places in mind where we definitely wanted to go-- namely Pixel Bar, which is a gaming bar, and our favourite Teppanyaki restaurant in Chinatown. But other than that, we mosty played it by ear! We spent a lot of time just looking around, seeing what we could find.

---

We also got a bit too drunk on cocktails and woke up with a pretty gnarly hangover on day three, but it was easily remedied with the help of a very, VERY strong coffee. 🤣 🥲

---

All in all, we had a pretty great time. It was nice to revisit some of the same spots and relive the memories we made years ago, while also making some new memories. 💕

It was not. Social media was around during my preteen and early teens, albeit it was still in its infancy. I am fairly certain that myspace and facebook were around but seeing how I was about ten years old at the time, I wasn't allowed to use them.

---

Instead, my first experiences of socializing on the internet occurred on gaming websites and art/anime/music forums, which I suppose you could argue are also social media in and of themselves. To me though, they've always felt very different from one another.

---

I didn't end up joining 'social media' as we know it today 'til I was around seventeen, when I opened a facebook account. I joined instagram a couple of years later, shortly before I turned twenty. Somewhere in down the line I also made a twitter and a youtube channel, both of which are deactivated now.

---

To summarise: no, social media wasn't a part of my childhood (not until the very end) and in a way, I'm glad that it wasn't. It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others online and I think, if I'd had social media in my young teens, it would've had a catastrophic effect on my already rather fragile self-esteem.

I'm glad I got to avoid all of that... For the most part, at least.

1. Белого цвета с объёмной фигуркой корги.
2. У меня всё время открыта форточка, когда я дома, и на вечер к окну сползаются пауки. Уже несколько раз они умудрялись падать на оконную раму и спускаться вниз на подоконник в то время, когда я закрывала форточку. Они небольшие, но я всё равно не уверена в их безобидности, поэтому очень боюсь и, да простит меня Вселенная, yбuвaю их.
3. Мне дарили такую на День рождения ещё в Америке. Она очень окупилась, потому что внутри была бритва Braun, электрическая мухобойка 😁, наушники Razer Barracuda без чехлов, игровая клавиатура Mars Gaming, автомобильный держатель для телефона, щётка для вычёсывания шерсти, картриджи для принтера и мелочи по типу нескольких адаптеров, карт памяти и слабых павербанков.
4. Если речь о первом свидании, то главное только чтобы место было тихим. Но зимой, понятное дело, улица не годится.
5. Люблю почитать, но буквально час-два. Обычно я прихожу на пляж только, чтобы покупаться, потом иду сразу спать или заниматься другими делами.
6. Не владею пока что.

Welcome to my world

Для справки: Регре́ссия(лат. Regressus — обратное движение) — защитный механизм, являющийся формой психологического приспособления в ситуации конфликта или тревоги, когда человек бессознательно прибегает к более ранним, менее зрелым и менее адекватным образцам поведения, которые кажутся ему гарантирующими защиту и безопасность. Иными словами, человек начинает вести себя как маленький ребенок. Даже если это большой взрослый, он может подойти к детям (но он не воспитатель и не родитель), и поиграть с ними.
Опыта нету, но знаю людей которые вместо современных "тяжёлых" видеоигр, предпочитают играть в 8ми и 16ные игры. Это не регрессия, это ретрогейминг (от слова retro - старый, gaming - игровой. В данном контексте, старые игры). Или например, он может обнять подушку, представляя что это плюшевый медвежонок (с которым расстались в далеком детстве). Надеюсь правильно ответил на твой вопрос)).
