Gaming and life updates

A lot has happened since my last post. For the last couple of years I've been working on my bachelor's degree in media technology, focusing on digital games. I have a bit of work left before I'm done and there's been some progress there. I'm still streaming sometimes, but not very often because I don't have a good computer for it right now, for reasons which you can read about in previous posts. Lately I have been playing many games. I started playing WoW again, so I've been doing a bit of that. I've also been playing Crusader Kings 2, a lot of Life is Feudal: Your Own, some Transport Tycoon Deluxe and The Sims Medieval. You might not know this, but I absolutely LOVE history, so I'm very happy to play games which have some historic content, takes place in history or have inspiration from real, historic events in them.

Gaming aside, there's also some bigger news in my life. I still haven't purchased a new computer but I have to do so soon, because... I am moving! To summarize my previous living locations: I started out in the middle of the country, moved 40 kilometres south in 2013 to study for nine months, then moved back to my starting point over the summer 2014, then moved to the bottom part of this country, which is another 20 kilometres further away, so a total distance of 60 kilometres (6-8 hours away). I lived there until the autumn of 2017, at which point I moved back up to the middle part again while I was finishing up with my degree. As it turned out, I got a job over the summer just north of the town where I lived while I was studying, so now I am temporarily moving back down there again for the summer and first part of the autumn. If I'm going to keep working there I'll move down there permanently, if not I might move back to the middle part of the country again. So for now my furnitures and most of my things will stay up here and I'll only take the most necessary things with me, as I am going to share an apartment with a friend. I'll either buy or borrow other things I might need until I know for sure if I'm staying or moving again, no point in moving everything down there just to move it back up again a couple of months later if that's how it turns out.

As I have a lot of schoolwork right now, I might have a little less time to play and stream for the next couple of weeks and then of course I'm moving and start working, so not sure how much time I'll have for computer games in the near future. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in a little bit of gaming somewhere.
