Outside of the first Far Cry I haven't noticed the compass much but I guess most game environments are near equator or on the northern hemisphere so I don't notice the sun's path.
I have trouble immersing myself in games with low FOV or the twisted perspective that Gamebryo has. 90's PC FPS games seemed more believable. Sometimes it's like the distant mountains don't get bigger as I get closer or something weird like that.
The movie was alright but every game after Underground seems really bland. Need for Speed picked up the baton of 'vista racing' from Outrun but Test Drive Unlimited had more interesting exotics, bigger maps and better handling (it even had functional online!). I miss you Eden Games.
Female Craig Boone until I snipe enough critters and mutants that I can become a jack of all trades with implants, bobbleheads or whatever Bethesda give us. Maybe even out Intelligence and Agility a little to level up a little quicker.
I look forward to hammering out sneak criticals on a controller if the UI isn't awful but I don't have a PC or console that can run it yet. :(
This topic is weird but I realize that just like Brad is comforted by Destiny and Jeff likewise by Call of Duty I get "the feels" from the following games but I understand that they might not be for everyone. Ironically most of them aren't tentpole releases so there is usually a steady stream of sequels to pick from in contrast to AAA "boom or bust" franchises.
Trucker simulation games (space, euro, naval, trains)
I moved to the suburbs for sunlight and to hear birds that aren't pigeons and seagulls. Even though I live next to a busy parking lot I am not bothered as much by the early morning traffic noise as much as I was in the city. On the other hand I guess city dwellers are more active because they walk most places and can almost always find open shops, gyms etc.
You're kind of stuck without personal transport or cabs after midnight but that tradeoff is fine for an introvert like me. In fact I'd like to move to some house one day where I can blast my sound system all day without bothering anyone !nn!
Star Trek is awesome except for the mirror universe episodes.
DS 9 has the most 'realistic' characters but a little too much 'fantasy' in the plot and most of the dialogue is wooden and stiff. Garek is one of the best characters ever seen on TV and he keeps getting better and better contrasted to the perfect crew members from the other shows that grow tiresome (Wesley?).
I would suggest Firefly to Dan because it has more action instead than dialogue.
Sorry that you're in a tough situation with your health and the conditions in your country. Being part of the EU should bring opportunities because I've met plenty of your countrymen at education institutions in my country that were competent and friendly.
Regarding finding decent jobs I have trouble personally fighting my own pride that's held me back from asking for help but everyone needs to start somewhere and most of us learn by making mistakes in our first jobs. Try to imagine a career like a skill tree where the lucky few get perks like social connections or education that let us skip some steps but usually it is a life long progression where you build on your experience.
You come across like a well written duder so maybe try out some of the many free resources online to learn foreign languages, programming etc and hopefully something will grab you. School provided me with the social pressure that I needed to push myself in productive direction but I guess it comes naturally to those talented guys like Palmer Lucky.
You sound like an introvert and I can personally relate to how hard socializing can be for introverts. If you can't handle parties, festivals and other gatherings without a purpose then focus on specific activities related to your interests where you might find like-minded people.
Apply for an education or a job, buy a plane ticket to somewhere or join a society for your hobby. You will get more long term fulfillment from that than video games.
