I recently celebrated my 10th cakeday here, and after (mostly quietly) joining many trains, events, polls over the years, I figured it’s finally time to come out and celebrate with you, awesome people of SG!

A lot has happened over this past decade: I changed jobs, moved into my own home, got married, welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world, said goodbye to my dog of nearly 18 years, upgraded my PC, and built a library backlog big enough to last through my entire retirement.

Ticket

LATER EDIT:

All carts are at least Level 2.

As DarkDreams1 keenly pointed out here, it’s actually my 11th cakeday! I kept seeing “10 years” on my page in the past few months and just rolled with it. When I saw the cake icon next to my nickname, didn’t even double-check. I’ll be thinking of something special once this train reaches its final destination to make up for the missing cart.

I’m honestly humbled by how many of you have taken the time to drop by and leave a kind word. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I’m reading each and every message as they come in and will be replying soon. You’re a truly amazing community, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of it.

wow, my very first greeting came all the way from Brasil (it's basically the other side of the world from where I live). I wish I can someday visit your beautiful country. Realistically speaking, can't be happening in the upcoming 10 years xD

Thank you very much, vigaristti!

and I realized afterward that I completely forgot to mention: I also underwent two surgeries during this time. Just another couple of milestones in this wild journey!

thank you so much, Codric! 😊 I know it could’ve been a lot more spectacular, but I had no doubt you guys would still appreciate it, and that means a lot to me.

And yet, I keep wanting more and more even though, realistically, there’s no way I’ll be able to play them all in this lifetime. 😅

I used to have a library collection called “Next”, then I created a new one called “Shortlist”… and at this rate, I’ll probably need to make another one soon. As if just playing the main stories wasn’t enough, I’m also an achievement hunter which, of course, slows down my progress even more

Thank you too for stopping by!

I really wish I knew why you deleted your comment. If you happen to stop by again, please let me know.

If replying individually to everyone feels like too much, I can understand that. I just thought it was a nice way to show appreciation for those who took the time to share a few kind words.

Wow, getting wishes all the way from Down Under, that’s amazing, thank you! I honestly can’t even remember what I was doing on the actual cakeday, but I have to say… with a kid in the house, it’s hard to have a bad day lately.

Not sure if you’re into snooker, but the moment I saw the Australian flag on your profile, I immediately thought of Neil Robertson. :D

I'm afraid I'm one of those rare and near mystical Australians who doesn't really follow sport 🙀. Google has now enlightened me 😀

Thank you so much, SebasR! I have to say: I absolutely love your Steam profile avatar! When I need to unwind a bit, I just close my eyes and picture the TLOU main menu screen. It might sound a bit silly, but honestly, it really helps me. Somehow, that calm atmosphere just works.

Saw a friend using it and found it fitted perfectly to my new profile picture and name. Also with the rain effects I love looking at it. I still haven't played any TLOU as I wanted to wait until all games were on PC. Doesn't sound silly, but why not put the picture of the main menu screen as desktop background?

Aren’t there only two parts of The Last of Us? I’m pretty sure both are already on Steam.

When I upgraded my PC last September, I went all in with the best parts available at the time. But then nostalgia hit me. I started missing the Windows XP days, so I looked up the classic XP field wallpaper in 4K and set that as my desktop background.

You're right, but don't own Part II yet.

The XP wallpaper was a great wallpaper, I use Bing Wallpaper which changes everyday.

thanks, Joe, really appreciate it! Gosh, I just wish my English accent sounded in real life the way it does in my head.. But thanks to my native language, it ends up sounding more russian... which I most definitely am not

Thanks a lot I gave the Morse a go, but all I got was “S K E K S K.” Not sure if I cracked it or if there’s a deeper puzzle I completely missed..

You don't think you went just a tad overboard with the difficulty of that puzzle?

I enjoy a large and/or difficult puzzle as much as anyone, but that thing?! It scared me.

LOL

Well, if we’re talking about going overboard, don’t you think you might’ve gone a bit too far with the giveaways? 😄

Honestly, I was a little worried some might find the empty spaces in the pic frustrating, but with my (very) limited free time, I had to tone down the puzzle difficulty. I’ll do better next time, pinky promise!

Thanks so much for the wishes!

Hola Keka, thank you so much for the wishes! It’s really nice to see fellow gaming girls around. It gives me hope that my daughter might join in someday. No pressure at all, of course, it’ll be 100% her choice.

We are more everyday! I hope my future children will inherit my Steam account, that would be nice :)
Or I will just open them their own in case they want it haha
I'm sure your daughter would love to play, specially with you! <3
