Small Devs. Big games

Games are a very trending topic to exploit, I will first stark speaking about one that was released this year, "Hollow Knight", a game developed by Team Cherry a small Indie games company, that proved that games doesn't have come from a AAA company to be masterpieces.

It's a 2D game platform that follows the story of an character that we know nothing about, as a matter of fact you begin knowing nothing of the game, just that you have to go onward you found yourself, as you pass through you learn about the story of the underground Bug's Kingdom. The whom is now in the ruins, the game adds new and necessary mechanics that you need to master in order to continue exploring trough the kingdom and discover the truth that lies begin the fall of the kingdom and the now reanimated inhabitants. And aspect that I liked about the games was how it challenged you to try other ways to achieve your goal trough a customization fighting mechanic, along with a grim and mysterious ambient that goes well with the graphics chosen for the game.

Another game that I would like to talk about is "Stardew Valley" a game made by a single game developer Eric Barone(ConcernedApe), and published by Chucklefish, being an Indie game as well as Hollow Knight, it greatly difference itself by being a Casual farming sim game and a social sim. The game is very calming and can be very addictive, it doesn't have complicated mechanics, it's a simple looking game with simple mechanics. It certainly reached it goal to became a great and popular successor to the Harvest Moon series.

A job that I dream about and other things

A Dream job  is, and will always be a subject of importance among the new generations in a constantly changing and expanding world,

In my case this is no exception, as a biochemistry student, I consider myself as an aspirant Virologist, is not the most quiet job or the most exciting in existence but I have high expectation about the practice of this type job, this job has more of an indoor approach than an outdoor one.

This doesn't mean that I will stay inside a laboratory forever, in fact, I would like to be able to have connections between different laboratories around the world, and have the possibility to travel  participate in different kinds of investigations about illness caused by the virus, fungi, etc. The salary won't be much a problem, it's a job that require a high handling, that means it naturally has a good salary, well, in countries that expend in science. Biochemistry it's just a step to that dream.

Of course that becoming a Virologist is not the only thing that I have in my mind, there are  other things that are related and others that are not even close to it, like nano microbiologist a Graphic Designer or a Patissier, the last one is growing in me lately. I have been baking a lot in the last weeks.
