What's your favorite Pokémon?
Gliscor. I just think it's cool and even liked it before it received its hidden ability and became good competitively.

Yes, Gmod does a pretty good job at that for me lol, there is a large selection of gun mods, I even ported several models of some lesser known guns myself into the game.
I love Gmod! Sanboxes have always been one of my favorite genres.
anything horror, and japan :)
What kinds of horror?

Japan creates the best snacks. As an American our food is over saturated with flavor. Japanese snacks have modest flavoring in comparison. Japanese snacks are also higher quality than American ones.

Can you psychoanalyze me?
I can but I recommend you to use AI (copilot ,chatGPT, gemini), they are more capable to rationally understanding you than me, faster, comfortable for you in analyzing your deep desires.

Oh I love plane crashes (that sounds weird)! Do you have any podcast/series recommended rations? The podcast I used to listen to ended.
Not weird at all, it's a fascinating (albeit sad) subject that's scary, but very enlightening on how each accident has made flying safer! Personally studying this subject has reduced my fear of flying to zero (though suicidal ideation helps lol), although I'm still anxious when my loved ones fly... :-) I'm not one for podcasts, but if you're cool with other mediums, I really recommend:

  • Mayday AKA Air Disasters, great TV series with many episodes available for free on YouTube
  • AdmiralCloudberg's crash analysis series on Reddit -- they get somewhat soapbox-y in newer writeups but still informative and easy to digest
  • Last Words of notable plane crashes -- the entire website is a great resource but tis page is a great jumping-off point for further research
  • Macarthur Job wrote some great books on air disasters, slightly harder to find the editions but can usually be purchased used on Amazon

other Total war games but I've played warhammer one for pretty long time too, in the end I guess I just didn't like the universe and I prefer older titles with amazing mods historical or fantasy.

No, we can't do that with dinosaurs. We don't have dinosaur DNA (if I remember correctly)
I think it would be possible to make synthetic dinosaurs in the future. I am not a biologist, but I suspect we could just brute force all possible sequences and create a dinosaur by trial and error

Have you watched 9/11 ATC communication?

I also liked the 9/11 in real-time video that features news reports and communication as it was happening

When I was a kid it was extinct animals and dinosaurs. Because of the mystery surrounding them.
As I grew older I became preoccupied with mysteries in general. Unexplained events, and conspiracies and alternative history. I am also interested in spirituality, comparative mythology, esoterics and tarot

Buying cheap cars and daily driving them to see how long it'll take till they break down. Sure I would repair them but only with the cheapest 3rd party parts just to make things even more interesting XD

For example I have an beater 2005 BMW E87 116i and it still runs but recently it got quite a sport car like sound and I thing the exhaust system finally has some holes.

However, before taking that "Bring Me (to) Workshop" car out from my garage again, I was daily driving an 180hp Audi A6 C5 Avant 2.5 TDI. It was a 23 years old rust bucket but I kinda loved it. However, a few weeks ago it broke down on the highway, I managed to get it running again but it was leaking Diesel, loosing fuel pressure and I had to call the tow truck. I paid like under 500$ for it and I loved how loud the turbocharger was with it's blow off valve and it had quite a lot of space. However, I didn't repair it and instead sold it to a random mechanic for parts and also sold the catalytic converters for 600$ each.
When it comes to the BMW, I bought it for 600$, it had accident damage on the back which I fixed with parts from ebay and amazon, it somehow passed the inspection and it got boring since I was only getting sometimes the half colored "check engine" notification instead of the not colored one and I was tempted to fix it but it said that it was thermostat but the rubber pipes were hot and the engine temperature never got over the normal temperature. After I left it for so long in my garage, this issue fixed itself and I don't get the half check engine light and also still not the full one. Kinda boring tbh.
However, I think about trading the BMW for a 2008 E Class Mercedes 220CDI since I managed to save up a lot of money by buying those shitboxes but also I would get like a new shitbox, maybe a pre 2004 Honda Civic which I would use as my new beater and use the E Class for long trips across countries.

My personal record and the best shitbox was an Vauxhall Astra G with steering wheel on the "wrong side", I bought it for 550,42$ and it had around 190.000km/118.060mil on it, I was putting semi truck Diesel into it, used the cheapest parts, I was like drifting with it even though it was a FWD car and a caravan. The car died at 732.800km/455340mil till the engine started pouring oil into the coolant and then the engine rod which was driving the pistons up and down just broke into 3 pieces. I got 200$ for it at the junk yard and 400$ for the catalytic converters

Minecraft, Starbound, Terraria, and No Man's Sky. I like building houses. What games do you like?
My favorite sandboxes were Minecraft, Terraria, and Garry's Mod (I remember playing them in 2010), but I also enjoyed Don't Starve, especially when they added multiplayer.

Counter-Strike was fun because you could compete with others and continuously improve your skills (game mechanics and strats).

I enjoyed (and still do lol) Genshin Impact because of the characters and the story (and spiral abyss...). A classmate at uni introduced me to it when we were doing an assignment together; I probably would never have tried it otherwise.

I recently finished Resident Evil 4 Remake, so I probably enjoy action games with big lore. Also liked to play the RE2 Remake a few years ago.


~~~
I also liked to play Sims. For me, it almost never progressed after the "create your character and build/decorate your house" stage, so I guess I enjoyed that kind of house-building experience.

Edinburgh is as close as I've gotten to Athens. I've been there before, and there's a part of it that looks likes Greek architecture. I think it's called Calton Hill

Philosophy, anything fundamental is just really attractive to me. Moral philosophy, trying to understand why bad people get ahead in life. It's hard to recommend unless you really, really care about what's true. You've probably heard of the whole "If you stare into the abyss", and so on.

Oh nice. I forgot to say that I also like jasmine, coffee, white tea, rose, etc. I like J'adore Dior, Chance Eau Tendre, etc. I'm probably forgetting some scents and perfumes right now though lol. I was thinking of becoming a perfume chemist but perfumery school is extremely competitive to get into. By the way, I changed my mind about Flowerbomb. It's not that bad; it actually smells pretty nice. I prefer Ruby Orchid though

Ghost towns and abandoned places. Deadmalls fascinate me the most. The idea of thousands of people one day visiting, yet someday, everyone decides (without knowing) they just won't visit anymore.

A more niche interest of mine is what the Japanese call kodokushi, I don't believe a word exists for it in any other language. It's where people die and can lay for months, if not years undiscovered.

Like many others here, alternate history, and namely history after world war 2 interests me.
