“stress relief, helps better than meditation”
психолог сказал найти способ выплескивать стресс, теперь бегаю с бензопилой по кукурузным полям и вешаю людей на крюки если честно, помогает лучше чем медитация

“42 killers each with distinct playstyle and synergies to discover” (5)
1 674 часа в кошмаре (это в стиме, вообще начинала играть на другой платформе, там тоже где то столько же сыгранных часов): честный взгляд на Dead by Daylight Что делает игру по‑настоящему особенной: Глубина геймплея. На первый взгляд всё просто: выжившие чинят генераторы, убийца их ловит. Но чем больше играешь, тем больше нюансов открываешь: -микроконтроль за состоянием досок и окон; -просчёт оптимальных маршрутов и зон давления убийцы; -использование звуковых сигналов и визуальных подсказок; -синергия перков в команде выживших и контрстратегии убийцы. Разнообразие убийц. Каждый убийца — это
