For bibliophiles and casual readers alike: how often do you buy books? Do you treat yourself weekly, wait for monthly splurges, or only purchase when a title truly calls your name? Is your budget stretched across digital, paperback, and collectible editions? How do you balance your TBR pile against impulse buys?

Everyone has that one lesson learned the hard way - what’s the funniest thing you’ve learned through trial and error? Maybe you discovered you can’t respawn indefinitely in real life after testing gravity without wings, or you learned “CTRL+Z” doesn’t fix microwave disasters.

What format feels most natural, and how do you engage your audience effectively?

Knowledge flows in two directions: teaching and learning. Do you prefer sharing your knowledge or learning from others? Reflect on times you’ve led a workshop, written a tutorial, or mentored a friend versus moments you’ve been the eager student in a class, forum, or book club. Which role brings you more satisfaction, and why?

In our hyperconnected world, it’s easy to overlook the quiet moments. Do you prefer quiet reflection in nature or lively discussions in a café? Describe your ideal setting: a secluded forest glade with birdsong and wind in the leaves, or a cozy coffee shop buzzing with conversation and clinking cups. How does each environment influence your mood, creativity, or focus?

The Dreamcast pushed narrative boundaries, but one title’s branching twist based on player choice still lingers in my mind.

How did level design, enemy placement, and weapon pickups foster cooperation (or friendly rivalry)?

The Sega Saturn boasted a surprisingly diverse fighting lineup, but only one roster truly captured the spirit of Sega’s characters. Which Saturn fighting game’s roster best represented the full spectrum of Sega IP? Was it Fighters Megamix, with its mash-up of Virtua Fighter and Streets of Rage heroes? Or perhaps Sega’s Wrestling game, which threw mascot appearances into the ring? Which character crossovers worked, and which felt shoehorned? How did the roster choices reflect Sega’s identity at the time, and what secret inclusions would you have added to perfect the tribute to Sega’s eclectic universe?

How did Sega’s early approach to game design set the stage for its later franchises? From the high-speed thrills of Turbo and Hang-On to the genre-blending action of OutRun, what core ideas did Sega plant that grew into Sonic’s speed, Shenmue’s realism, or Yakuza’s cinematic flair?
