Can you think of any link between the games you’ve played and your academic (or vocational/work-related) choices and development?

Hm, the only connection I can think of is writing papers for my academics. When I was younger, I used to play video games involving city-building and wanted to be a civil engineer. i was fascinated with the idea of efficient road planning, separating industrial sectors from living quarters, and the depletion and preservation of natural resources, and I did end up reading books about city planning eventually. But there is not much you can learn from Dark Souls that would be applicable in the world we live in now, unless you aspire to be an author writing minimalist stories.

Final thoughts: I think that editing wikis can be a very rewarding experience. Even if you don't learn anything yourself, enlightening others is, to me, highly fulfilling. Hours spent editing and creating pages on this wiki are worth it, as long as people read them and learn something new. I highly recommend ANYONE, not just gamers, to try out editing a wiki and see what they can do to improve it.

I am completely fine with you using my username, but I understand that it might be problematic here (it has in the past), so please refer to me as Rio if you feel that it is appropriate.
