Games

I love playing video games.

The only games I currently play are Geometry Dash and Minecraft. I would only get on MC if it's a friend invite, so GD is left as the only game I actually play routinely.

Geometry Dash

I found GD in 2018 when I saw a friend of mine playing on his laptop. A few aspects I really like in the game are the music, visuals, and creative levels. I admire those who extend a game about jumping over spikes to something fundamentally impaling. It has also been proven that GD improved my pattern recognition, reaction time, endurance, and creativity.

To be honest, I'm not really a skilled GD player in today's standards. As of April 2026, my hardest is a hard demon level called "Nine Circles." The reason is that I unfortunately didn't stay consistent in practicing over the years.

Favorite levels:

Minecraft

I was introduced to Minecraft at an early age, just like most others did. Back then, my uncle had those pirated/modded MC versions installed on his computer, and he would occasionally play when I was around. I quickly began investing my time into the game. As one of the only few interests I had, Minecraft undoubtably carried my childhood. Due to some restrictions, I spent most of the time on singleplayer world, in creative mode where I built things like roller coasters, houses, and underground bases. Overall, I spent more time watching other content creators play mods than I did alone. My favourite mods were luckly blocks, parkour maps, zombie survival, and horror stories.

I officially purchased the game in 2021, after many years of playing MC alternatives.

Roblox

This was another childhood classic, and in fact most of the time I spent playing video games was on this game. It was the end of 2017, the same friend who introduced GD to me was in favour of another game, Roblox. To me at the time, Roblox was an all-in-one game that covered everything I needed for entertainment. I had immersed myself into several notable games: Natural Survival, Survive the Killers in Area 51, Tower of Hell, Boxing Simulator, and Bear Alpha. I would play it every week, whenever there was a friend party going on. I'd continue to play Roblox during the pandemic until I stopped in 2025. The later games I played were Aniphobia, Blade Ball, The Whistle, Monsters Chaos, and a bunch of horror-themed story games.

Area 51

Garry's Mod

This game is like Roblox but more advanced and tweakable in terms of general gameplay. The original inspiration was from those short skits by Chinese content creators. It also encouraged me to install Steam in the first place. I continued with the introduction of nextbots, those uncanny images that chase and kill you in a map, as they were extremely popular online. I stopped playing after the skibidi toilet thingy.

Unravel?

Eurotruck Simulator 2

Basically, I was really into driving heavy vehicles. ETS2 was the perfect game for it since I couldn't drive in real life. I put many hours on this beginner-friendly game and travelled to many places in Europe. It cured my attention span since I had to focus on every second of the mission. I couldn't make any comments on the graphics, though, as I got a potato PC. The Nvidia Geforce service helped me to get a vision of the default graphics, which was already very detailed and realistic.

Hearts of Iron IV

I bought this strategy game as a result of my interests over history and geography. Some of my friends also played this game. It was expensive to buy and the performance was low-tier. Let's just say my new computer couldn't handle the amazing graphics with its Intel integrated graphics card. I had fun playing with my friends together in multiplayer mode. It also cured my attention span.

PUPG Mobile

This was the game of the year for me in 2020. I needed something else to on top of studying and watching the TV. I grinded up the ranks and played countless rounds. I was sort of skilled at the game, winning most team rounds. I spent the most money on this game, unironically. I quit playing in the following year.
