I come from a slightly different era of gaming – the classic Tetris and Game Boy generation. Back then, games were clearly limited: you played in sessions, there was a natural stopping point, and everything had a defined structure. That way of experiencing games still shapes how I see them today.

​

Modern games are very different. Many of them are open-ended systems without a clear ending in everyday play. You can theoretically keep playing indefinitely, and the structure is no longer defined by the game itself, but more by the player.

Because of that, I don’t just see games as continuous entertainment, but more as spaces with different rhythms.

​

In games like Hitman, I’m often less focused on pure action and more interested in the quieter moments in between. I use those phases to step back, reflect, and process what is happening. For me, this creates a more conscious way of dealing with pressure and focus: observe, plan, act.

​

Very intense games like Elden Ring are mentally engaging, but personally they can feel too demanding over longer periods of time. I tend to prefer games that also allow space for calm transitions and moments of pause.

​

Overall, I’m interested in how different game structures influence our mindset – speed, control, and calmness all playing their part.

​

This also reflects in my streaming style: less constant high-intensity gameplay, and more of a relaxed, reflective atmosphere where gameplay and thoughts can exist side by side.
