So it's in the middle of the month of Ramadan on the Muslim calendar, and that means I gotta fast every day (no food/water from sunrise to sunset, or about 16h30 in my case). That's severely limiting my options as to what I feel like doing every day. I graduated from HS like two weeks ago so I don't really know what to do. I could get a job / internship, but I really don't want to do that while fasting, so I guess I'll do that next month or after ESA or something. So until very early July, I will probably just be a lazy piece of shit and play video games, like I have been.

On that note, I recently bought Overwatch, and I'm glad that I actually got interested into a hot new game for once. I'm not sure why, but whatever, it's just fun. It does indeed bear great resemblance to TF2, but this feels a hell of a lot more enjoyable to play for who knows why. I don't know if I'll stream this much, but it'll probably take up quite a bit of my time.

There's also some casual stuff I want to get through. I've been playing through the Driver series (Driver 1 at the end of last year, Driver 2 which I'm almost done with, and I just ordered Driv3r), and I may as well get that all done with. I've also been considering playing through Crash TwinSanity 100%, since I've beaten it a few times, but never 100%. There's some other stuff as well (MW2 campaign, System Shock 2, Age of Mythology campaigns, Age of Empires III campaigns, and hell, maybe even GTA:LCS 100%) that I want to play through. I have no fixed list of games, but all of the stuff I've mentioned so far are games that I am interested in playing, even if I don't actually play them all soon. I also might do some multiplayer Age of Empires II stuff, but I'd rather light the metaphorical candle of other casual games first.

"What about speedruns?" Well I obviously don't want to play Vice City, fuck that. I've been streaming some GTA3 and GTASA, but GTASA eats at my soul whenever I do a run of that. GTA3 is not really a priority of mine since the route I made for 100% so far is kinda bad, so I could just leave it to the pros (JOE, Omega, Powdinet). GTA speedruns will probably be on cooldown while I take a moment to enjoy life.
Age of Empires 1 speedruns are something I -might- do, but my motivation for that is dwindling too. I have been taking a look at some Age of Empires II maps and coming up with some of my own strats for them though, so that will be something I'll try to do and enjoy.

S. recently did a 24h stream of most of his speedgames into one marathon stream. I had ideas of doing something like this as well, but I don't think I'd like to carry it out. I even had some insane ideas like "GTAVC 100% + AoE all campaigns", but I don't actually want to play VC, nor do I want to do a run of AoE all campaigns without optimizing the individual campaigns beforehand. GTA Trilogy any% will not happen either.

TL;DR - Fasting puts me in a situation where I can play a bunch of games without regret. Speedrunning is mostly boring but I will do speedruns of Age of Empires II. I will stream a bunch of casual stuff.
