Senior Fantasy Fan
Video Games
This is a hobby that has been around since I was a kid. You might even say it’s a bit of an obsession. But as I grow older and my academic and work tasks increase, I have less contact with them now.
I am a game fan, but I prefer fantasy-themed strategy games. I hate FPS games the most because I get a little dizzy with 3D. am more interested in the background story and characters of the game than the graphics and gameplay of the game. I don't like to waste too much time on rankings, so in-game achievements are not my pursuit.
Nowadays, my attitude towards games has also changed a lot. It is more like a social means for me. My own enthusiasm for games is not as high as before. Prefer playing online with friends rather than playing alone.
Often:
League of Legends | Total War: WARHAMMER | Might and Magic of Hroe | Overwatch | Diablo | Word of Warcraft | Don't Starve Together
Warhammer Chess
I learned about this IP through the video game Warhammer. It is based on the story background of Games Workshop's war chess. I'm interested in the fantasy setting itself, and this can be a great way to immerse myself in this new world of fantasy.
Because I came into contact with Warhammer-like RTS games, I learned about the background story of Warhammer and became interested in the races and factions in it. So I will buy some related novels and war games. It's more like a model painting than a battle chess game. After purchasing the model, we need to assemble and paint it ourselves (this is a long and boring process).
More than just an engaging backstory. I was also very involved in assembling and modifying the chess pieces. Although this is a physically demanding process, I enjoy it.
Fitness
Light fitness enthusiast
I only started getting into fitness in April 2023. The main purpose is to lose weight and build a good-looking figure. Current progress: Curl 30lb dumbbell, bench press 40kg barbell, lateral raise 16lb dumbbell.
I also got a fitness card from LA fitness so I can work out and socialize with my friends. I have a friend who is a fitness instructor so I always ask about fitness knowledge and go to classes.
Movie List
Under the guidance of my cousin, I have loved fantasy stories since I was a child.
I have a lot of favorite movies, especially fantasy ones with grand settings. I am also a DC lover. Not only do I love watching DC movies, but I also like TV series such as Gotham. Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings are classic IPs that had a profound impact on me as a child. I also really admire the sequel The Hobbit. There are also horror game-changing movies such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
Batman Dark Knight | Joker | Hobbit | Lord of Rings | Pirate of Caribbean
