Reading

I have a particular love for short stories.(In other words, I have no patience for “Tome”.:))

Mind Snacks:

Italo Calvino: Our Ancestors Trilogy (The Cloven Viscount, The Baron in the Trees, The Nonexistent Knight)

Jorge Luis Borges: The Aleph, Man on Pink Corner

Juan Rulfo: Pedro Páramo

Board Games

I prefer Euro-style board games over American-style ones.

  • Forest Shuffle FS
  • Wingspan WS
  • Agricola AG
  • Gaia Project GP

Video Games

Like my taste of books, I prefer video games that are short to play while highly replayable.

Moments of Escape:

  • FTL:Faster Than Light FTL
  • Into the Breach ITB
  • Slay the Spire SLS
  • Dave the Diver DTD
  • Dota 2(Mangix is my favorite) DOTA
    • A slam of Mangix’ mighty keg starts the festivities.
    • The Order of the Oyo’s solution to all problems - another round!
    • When Mangix won his title as the Brewmaster of the Order of Oyo, he also claimed his place in the mastery of inebriation.
    • Mangix doesn’t hold to it by rule, but he vaguely recalls an old master musing that, if one could manage, scaring up a companion was always preferable to drinking alone.
    • It isn’t clear whether Mangix is consciously aware of his potent bond with nature, as it often occurs in the midst of a drunken stupor.

Exception : Journeys of Immersion

  • Divinity: Original Sin 2 DOS
  • Baldur’s Gate 3
    • The Game is sponsored by my friends Chen Hang, Han Yiming and Xiang yangyang.
    • I play as druid in this game – almost like playing Mangix, Black Arachnia and Banehallow all at once. BG3

I mainly play on PC, but my close brother Han Yiming has bought me a Switch. I owe great thanks to him.

Games I enjoyed are:

  • Pokemon Violet
  • Mario Kart 8
  • Animal Crossing

Anime & Manga

  • Hunter X Hunter HXH
  • Gintama GTM
  • Dungeon Meshi dgm
