- Gaming — Gaming — Rocket League, Baldur's Gate 3, Minecraft. I used to compete in Rocket League tournaments back in 2021, as I'm a competitive person by nature, but I've since shifted my focus to more story-driven games like Baldur's Gate 3. Gaming remains a fun way to unwind and connect with friends or my partner.
