I’ve played video games almost my entire life…well, 40 out of the 47 years that I’ve been here.

I’ve never been the “normal” gamer guy- I don’t care much for Skyrim and I’m currently playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve really tried to focus on doing things that make me happy, and it seems playing video games is a major part of that.

I’m playing more now than ever and I’m in a great place.

I’ve also decided to expand the types of games I play because games like Fortnite and Call of Duty just wasn’t bringing the happiness any longer.

I still play those games here and there, but I finally discovered he “cozy” area of gaming and I’ve falling in love with it!

Animal Crossing New Horizon’s really got me through the amazing year that was 2020- it was the perfect chill game that I needed to get me through the chaos.

Cozy games have been around since the 90s with games like Harvest Moon but the genre seems to be blowing up the last few years.

I’ve been researching some of the best “cozy” games to get into and I’ve realized that there is a lack of guys that look like me- big, old, gray beard, etc.

I’ve never been one of those guys worried about what others thing- I mean- I just started playing HKIA- remember?

I finally got a decent gaming laptop, finally got into what all the fuss was over Steam and I’m really enjoying it all!

I plan to dive into gaming much more because it’s also helping me with my weight loss journey to give me something else to obsess over- besides food.

I know that the gaming community is one of the most toxic places out there and I’m fine with that…I mean, one of my all-time favorite games is Dragon Age: The Veilguard and I know that just pissed most of you off.

I wanted SharkysWorld to focus on gaming and weight loss and it’s time to get into the gaming stuff. As for the weight loss, I’ve been using actions lately- I’m down 33 lbs. in a little less than 2 months so I may jump back into writing about that more as well; I was just tired of talking about it and not actually doing it.

Love, Peace and Sharkyness
