There was an announcement that Hearthstone Battlegrounds was now playable on a browser. I decided to check it out and I was led through a tutorial that explained all the differences it had with the base game. The onboarding experience also involved a lot of cinematics.

I was at a fancy restaurant when I got a LINE message from my uncle. It was a video from a Taiwan news report about a local car crash. Apparently multiple cars were going at high speeds in the wrong direction on the freeway. I called him to ask what he meant by sending me that video.

I was in a shopping mall with my mom when we were approached by a lady holding a small booklet. She started talking about some kind of immigration interview and needing us to sign our names in the book. She kept going on about how it was urgent and that it was to make up for some past error in the process. My mom already had a pen in her hand when I finally had enough and grabbed the green booklet.

A strange creature was wandering near the furnaces. It looked like a normal human from the right angle but whenever it turned slightly it was apparent that its head was flat, almost as if it was 2 dimensional. We were observing it from the distance when it noticed us and started attacking my friend. I quickly grabbed a pizza peel and shoveled some hot coals onto it before stabbing the alien in the “neck”. I kept slicing at the “flesh” which split apart like raw dough until it was decapitated. The creature stopped moving. Both of us were surprised that we had really cut off its “head” as we expected otherworldly beings to have dissimilar anatomical structures.

I was entering some kind of video editing contest but everyone had to submit their entries in person. I was next in line with a flash drive in hand only to be told that it had the wrong USB type. I tried to think of the best way to submit my entry and settled on converting the file so that it could be sent over a private message. The other people behind me in line got annoyed as I kept revising the message that accompanied the attachment.

I wanted to print a note but I didn’t have any paper around. I decided to fry a slice of toast to use as a surface. A family friend saw me in the kitchen asked me if I was trying to make a grilled cheese. I hesitantly replied “Yes” and slapped down a slice of American.

I was playing a TF2 mod where every class had branching upgrades. There were Engineers with extra sentry levels and Snipers with miniguns. Scouts had the ability to backstab, but only in shaded areas.

I woke up and looked out the window to see that my room was many floors higher than usual. Apparently it had floated into the sky while I was asleep and was now on its descent. There was a large circus tent across the field.

It was the zombie apocalypse and we were walking down the stairwell of a parking lot in search for the underground safe house.

I had pirated Tears of the Kingdom and was playing it next door to my friend’s room. Our doors and the wall between them were overgrown with glowing tree roots that were responsive to our game progress. I had also grabbed a safe file from my friend that was right before the final fight.
