I love this! It made me think of a story with my little sister. She was a surprise late addition to the family and came along when I was a teenager. She was born a little prankster, and because we were so far apart in age we never had any sibling rivalry. I used to install her carseat in my car and go do stuff with her. The one day I had to run errands and I took her along with the promise that I'd take her to the park and for a treat afterwards. She was like maybe 6? We were standing in line in the store and she gets this little smirk on her face, makes sure that other customers can hear her and goes "hey Mom, can we-" and I turned around and (not hard) backhanded her across the face and said "I'm not your mom, shut up!" She just started giggling. She loved calling me mom in public and did it every chance she got. It didn't help that she always looked more like me than pur actual parents. I got so much judgement for being a "teen mom" lol.

The entire Witcher trilogy, but especially the Witcher 3. Replaying after reading the books adds so much depth the world and the political decisions you are forced to make. The world is beautiful, the ambient sounds and soundtrack are so good ("winds howling") and the story is gripping.

I love Prey! It was actually the game that got me into gaming. I used to play a little as a kid and it was also one of the few things that made me happy, but I was raised in a really strict home so I was only allowed a few pre-approved games with very limited screen time. I gave it up and sort of grew into this toxic mindset of "gaming is for loser nerds". My husband started playing Prey and I used to sit and watch and just fell in love with the whole thing, the story, the music, the setting. He gave it up and never finished and I was so desperate to find out how it ends that I started playing. Now I have my own custom built gaming PC and spend 40+ hours a week gaming, so I'm a loser nerd lol
