Tarkov is a PVE / PVP Extraction Shooter. You can either play it in PVE or in PVP mode. I play exclusively PVP. Since I have a lot of experience it doesn't feel as rewarding to me if I would play it in PVE.I have way too many hours in this game already (over 10k). But it is still my somewhat comfort game. It has so many issues. With cheaters, server issues, game simply not working and hit reg issues and just idk everything.
Currently I have done around a thousand raids and I have reached Kappa which is basically when you finish all the side quests.
Also since the 1.0 update (15.11 -- when the game wiped). Tarkov has now a main story quest. It is not that impressive honestly. They could have done a lot more with the story quest. Like this game has so much potential but that's Tarkov for ya.But I also finished one of the four endings. They created Terminal to "escape" Tarkov. Terminal is a cool experience. It is basically only PVE. You have to fight through different sorts of AI to get to a Boat and finish Tarkov. I really liked Terminal. But even then it has it's problems. You can only "escape" alone. It can happen that you spawn in with random people (they will try to kill you). Luckily that never happened to me but as you can see the base idea is good, great! But just everything around is not thought through it. It's like 90% effort and then they just ran out of time and just released it.
Basically the first person on Terminal got a broken leg and there were meds but no splints. So it just feels like the dev's don't playtest their own game and it's always up to the player to test the game and the new mechanics / features which kinda suck in my opinion.I am currently 1 level away from Prestige. Prestige is where you basically reset your whole account and do it all over again.
I hate this game but I also love it so much. It just feels there is nothing comparable to it. I used to stream this game regularly 2 years ago. And to me this game is just a comfort game. With lots and lots of nostalgia behind it. Lots of friends I met playing this game. Some of them don't play this game anymore. Actually, most of the people I know quit this game. Because every wipe and every big major update is the same shit all over again. I really understand those people.
To anyone who wants to try out the game.
- It is very frustrating!
- Game sucks
- Game does not work
- but can be very fun if you spend too much time on the game ˙ᵕ˙ --> the game is a social experiment to see how much people like to torture themselves ˙ᵕ˙
~ Happy new year ₍⑅ᐢ..ᐢ₎

It can also be super fun to paint on clothes and stuff. There are some mixers which you can mix the paint and the clothing medium mix thingie seperatly(I am not sure it's called a medium or a mixer). Which makes the whole paint a lot cheaper compared to buying paint specifically only for clothing.

Comment on Books: Your personal year in review for 2025 in ~books

Not all books were super super long so I kind of cheated but that's okay. I think my goal for the upcoming year is to read more than 12 books I suppose. I don't know yet if I can concentrate on reading when I am in my final year of studies and that whole stress but I am looking forward to it.
Book Name Author Genre When Finished On Photography Susan Sontag Photography / Crtitcism February Man and His Symbols Carl G. Jung Psychology February Under the Sign of Saturn Susan Sontag Criticism March The Stranger Albert Camus Novella March Disappoint Me Nicalo Dinan Fiction March Eyes Guts Throat Bones Moïra Fowley Short Stories April Camera Lucida Roland Barthes Philosophy April Regarding The Pain Of Others Susan Sontag Photography / Crtitcism May Ob mit Dolch, Feile oder Revolver Luigi Lucheni Politik / Anarchie May Carmilla J. Sharidan Le Fanu Novella May The Art of Cruelty Maggie Nelson Art Criticism August Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury Dystopian October My favorite books were definitely the 3 books from Susan Sontag. All her views about photography and art are very interesting to me. Also since I study photography it's all very relevant to me. And I think all her views have aged very very well. And we are still struggling with the same questions she tries to answer in the books.
The Art of Cruelty I also really enjoyed. I have been rereading parts of it since I would like to continue to further plan my own performance art and also just learn more about them. I have visited Marina Abramović's exhibition in Zurich last year and I was so deeply moved and impressed by the whole thing.
Man and His Symbols was the hardest book for me to read. Jung's writing style is so complex and very difficult. I read it in english and I am not a native speaker. I was originally interested in the book because he is also from Switzerland and I really liked his approach and his methods how he looked at dreams and analyzed different people and their symbols. I had at the time terrible dreams or still have and I, personally, think it helped me a lot to look at my own dreams and just see them in a different view. It took a long time to get through this book. I am obviously not the intended target reader. I am not studying psychology or anything. So this was the first book that I read that was like this.
My biggest let down was Disappoint Me from Nicalo Dinan. It's not a bad book per se but at the time I remembered that I seemed to be a bit disappointed in the book. It was just kind of flat and obvious? The story is about a trans person and if I remember right the author is also trans. So it covers a lot of trans issues which I, personally, enjoyed since I, myself am also trans. But I think other people could really enjoy the book. It was just not what I was looking for.
I think for next year my goal is to get into Russian literature. I already ordered White Nights from Dostoevsky so I am looking forward to reading it. And just in general I want to read more of Carl G. Jung. Even though his books are very complex I still enjoyed them a lot and they taught me a lot about myself.

I also really like the embroidery just as keeping my hands busy or keeping my mind occupied for a bit. It's somewhat a really relaxing type of work where I can easily watch something and embroider something.
Also I have already started on a new patch. A little tiger. I started with a theater class, and my plan is to give each tutor a little patch out of appreciation.
Altough I would like to sew together a blahaj and kinda make my own with different fabrics and what not.
But I don't know when I will get around to it. -

So I redownloaded it and I really liked it. I was a bit confused because when I used to play a lot I would use the teamfinding mechanic ingame. So I do kinda miss that.
But other than that because I'm an Ana one-trick I found it a bit confusing with all of these new heros. Atleast for the first few games.I still like the game and it's also very fun. I think it would be way more fun if I had people to play with consistently because playing alone kinda sucks and is very demotivating.
I think that is the reason why I had basically a OW2 phase for a few weeks when I would basically play it every evening and then just suddenly stop playing it.I think for a complete new player it's really hard to get into the game just because there is so so much to learn. With all the heroes all the abilities all the ults etc etc. Also I there are a lot of maps. Which I still get confused about. But luckily there is a system in place where people can pick and ban the maps so i like that. Also the new system of where you ban heroes I think I also really like.
I think overall the game is in a very good state and can be really fun.

faye_luna Linkhi is me, the thing that did some "sewing" I slept like horrible so this text will be a handful, but here we go So my original goal was to create Patches. I wanted to hand embroider them and also...- Exemplary
hi is me, the thing that did some "sewing"
I slept like horrible so this text will be a handful, but here we go
So my original goal was to create Patches. I wanted to hand embroider them and also learn the basics of sewing. And I think I achieved that goal yay :3.
I bought some jeans patches that you can iron on somewhere (they are 6x8 cm).
Most likely there are better options like normal fabric and an embroidery hoop. I ordered a hoop like a week ago and it has still not arrived.
In order of the stuff that I created:
I started with the Anarchy Patch
- I was really struggling with making shapes, as you can see in the arrow. But otherwise it's okay. Also the stitches are quite uneven and look messy. For anyone interested, the stitch I used is called cross-stitch.
- The dot in the middle is called a french-knot and is quite cool to do. It adds like texture to the eye which I like a lot :3. I really really don't like the "eyebrows" at the top. Otherwise it looks okay.
- First time in doing the satin stitch and trying to fill out a space. It's not perfect and the threads in some cases are a bit loose but I'm pretty happy with it overall. Also I am still not sure if filling out a whole area and then doing the detail on top is better or first doing the detail and then filling out the surrounding area. I am not sure what looks better. And I still need to try that.
I also applied this patch to my leather jacket. It looks quite goofy and makes me very happy.
Whole Shark -- top right
- Pleased with it. The thread isn't as loose as in the partial shark. Also I think the coverage is overall a bit better but still not perfect. The stitches are better structured, and I quite like that I arranged the bottom fin that the thread is going sideways and the overall body of the shark is going up and down. I messed up the eye which is a detail, and you can't really see it, but oh well. Stuff happens.
I gave this shark to a person that also liked sharks.
- It's okai. It looks a bit messy. Coverage is uneven. But I put a black border around it so the patch won't fray as much. It looks quite cute. I don't know where I will attach it yet. Maybe on my skirt that would be cool !!!
- I tried a Bayeux stitch. It saves a lot of thread. But I created the anchor point too far apart. But it still looks really cute. This time I put the details on top of the layering. And I am quite happy with it.
Leather bag fixing not embroidery :)
- So I have this old leather bag. I love it and since I thrifted it and it's old. The stitches are falling apart and came loose. It was really though. I used a embroidery needle and I pulled through the leather with tongs. Otherwise I couldn't get the needle through. It came out a lot better than expected and I used it already once and yay, the stiches held.
Side Quest -- My School Project
On some other note I had a school project and I saw on the internet that people sew into their polaroids and stuff. And I really wanted to try that. I only had a few days to come up with an Idea and so I photographed cracks in walls and on the street. And sew in some thread. The whole concept I personally believe kinda sucks and could be a lot better. But it was developed in an extremely short time. -

But finally now wrote the mail to my old therapist asking her if she has capacity.
Very very annoyed with my insurance and have been calling them a lot and waiting for an answer from them.
This just leaves me powerless and this whole thing just sucks leaves me with 0 energy and it makes it hard to do anything.Been trying to socialize more with limited sucess. Have been participating in a theater group which is nice.
What isn't so nice is me going to a queer space but even though I theoretically fit in (Trans / Somewhat NB / just an entity basically). It just felt really horrible the whole time I was there and it felt like I didn't fit in at all which really sucks and is really frustrating but that's okai.I hope one day I will feel happy in my own skin and brain.
I hope it will get better. I hope I won't be suffering like this all my life. But we shall see. -

My plan was either to sew to program something. Since I still struggle with motivation and lack of energy I decided that sewing was the easiest and most relaxing option to pick for my project.
I started fixing one of my trousers that had a hole in the back pockets, and my goal was to learn the basics and maybe make some patches.
I did in this week 2 different kind of patches.
All the patches I made this farSo the order in which I created them goes as follows.
-

I ordered a embroidery hoop and my plan is to stitch on some fabric that I have yet to buy. I have been only sewing on those jeans patches which are a bit of a pain. They are quite tough and currently my fingers really hurt because pushing through the needles with 6 threads can become quite tough + I am just not used to the work and ya.
But it could be worse.But overall it's been pretty fun.
That's about it.
That's all.
Over and out.

Comment on Indecision: Get a camera despite having a phone in ~tech
From age 5-18 yrs old I nothing else than play ice hockey.
I went to a sports school and was in regional selection and all that stuff.
We are talking 3-4 times a week training plus every weekend there was a match during the saison.
My mom still sees it as a wasted potential that I stopped playing icehockey and I could just start playing again and it would potentially fix everything.
