As a big LEGO fan, LEGO got me into videogames. First with Indiana Jones in 2008, then Batman and Star Wars - it‘s funny how much impact my first gaming experiences had on me, as I’m now a big fan of all 3 of those franchises!
One really nostalgic game for me was LEGO Universe, a short lived MMO which had so much heart in it that I still remember so fondly 13 years after it shut down! I’m happy that there’s still a community around it as we all thought the same.

spent many days growing up just building a lego city for hours in my basement. there was no better feeling than rummaging around for each piece and then snapping the finished product in place. I used to also make little stop motion lego videos and my greatest regret is that in late middle school I thought they were cringe and deleted them forever. I still get a set every once in a while but legos don’t take up the majority of my free time like they used to. s-tier toys IMO

loved these lil fuckers man. i was big into legos as a kid but my favorite part was always just the figures. and obviously blind packs for children’s toys is a shady business practice but uhhhhh it worked. i loved giving them backstories and displaying them. one year for my birthday my parents just got me a box of them, it was all i wanted.

I love the night vibes but it’s also lovely to finally see a bit of light at that time, after about 4 months of pitch black darkness. Makes the commute back home happier and less tiring.
