What brings you joy?

For me it’s:

(Not in this order)

Video Games

Showers

Funny Videos and Shows

Sleep

And of course my Family

What about you?

My dog. Rock climbing. Hiking. Ambient music. Meeting friends and sharing experiences. I'm a big video game fan at the same time though, what kind of stuff do you play? :)

Hi Sami,

Oh yeah I forgot my Dog 😅

Well right now I’ve been playing

Overwatch, Warzone and Valorant

And a old school game called red alert 2

What about you?

The dog! How could you forget the dog? 😆Yeah, quite different things I think, I have heard of Red Alert 2 though as well. My regular go-to is Rocket League with some friends, but I also really like shoot em ups, not Overwatch or Call of Duty, but like space shooters where the goal is to just survive! My profile image is from an excellent old game called Sin and Punishment, which is amazing

👍

Red Alert 2, I will spend hours on end on that game.I’ve been wanting to play Rocket League, my friends say it’s fun.

I also forgot about Minecraft. Minecraft helps my anxiety a bit.

Rocket League is free to play across all platforms now, so there's no better time to get into it :)Minecraft is something I've managed to avoid all these years actually. Don't think it's quite my thing, but I have an appreciation for how bloody successful it's been!

I shall download it soon :)

I don’t think I can do Warzone anymore. My brain can’t take it. But sometimes I play it since at least I can talk to my friends online.

Minecraft has been so successful for so many years, and that’s because it’s such a simple game and the developers don’t touch it.

Red Alert 2 is such a blast! I love that game! Its like a good B SCI-FI Movie except its a video game. It's sad I've found no way to play it online with other people other than than via a LAN.

I see nobody is up yet, so I’ll start it off. Thanks for asking, A. Since I’m unable to physically help out my fellow man anymore, HU has given me the ability to do just that. I feel I I’m still a functioning part of humanity. I still have worth. And brother, does that give me joy.❤️🏄‍♀️

I did notice the surfing emoji in a previous post and I did wonder, haha. Your above outlook is quite inspiring though :)

😂😂😂 I like that.

My dad and my brothers used to go surf when we were younger. we had boogie boards and long boards.

Isinatra in reply toalfreddy7

Yes, I’ve always admired surfers, growing up in Florida. Tried my hand at it once with an old waterlogged longboard. Nearly broke my jaw when I reached down to pick it up and the surf pushed it up to meet my face. Lol left surfing up to the daredevils after that. Lol 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️

alfreddy7 in reply toIsinatra

Oh wow!! So sorry that happened to you.We’re on the other coast of the states. Here in California.

We stopped surfing when my brother was taken by the ocean current thinking he was a very good swimmer.

Now that we are older we sometimes call him Hasslehoff ironically lol

So funny/not so funny. Mother Nature has a strange sense of humor sometimes. Your brother was lucky. California has Florida beat in the wave category.

I enjoy breaking through unhealthy coping mechanisms. Today, I just discovered another one left over from my childhood! 🤩. Thanks for asking!
