I’ve cosplayed as a Ghostbuster and Dr Doom at conventions, it’s a blast!
Putting the costumes together gave me a break from computer stuff, which was nice, and gave me an excuse to obsess about my interests.
Going out in public wearing a costume is always nerve-wracking. But the anxiety disappears as soon as you get close to the event. When I saw someone walking down the sidewalk, dressed as Megaman, I knew I was home.
Walking around in cosplay at a convention is like being a celebrity for 4 hours! Everyone knows who you are, and wants a picture with you. As a Ghostbuster, I get high fives from every other GB (there’s always a bunch, young and old). As Dr. Doom, I had a 5yo girl (dressed as Minnie mouse) come up and tell me I’m her favorite. It was magical.
[Star Trucker] (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2380050/Star_Trucker/) - omg. Bought it about a week ago, it’s devoured my spare time.
Never tried a trucker sim before, usually more into base building, but daym–throw some scifi in there and I’m hooked! All the levers and switches work and are satisfying to pull. Blast through the short tutorial, put on some music, decompress, and just driiiive(/float).
