Uh
Video game is either Dark Souls 3, or NieR: Automata. I am not sure which one yet, and it's been nearly 2 years...
Piece of Tech was probably my PSP. Don't have it anymore, but that thing was really fun. Lot's of normal games, you could emulate Game Boy Advance and there was some actually useful homebrew for it.
Linux (or any Free OS), I apreciate that at the end of the day it's computing in my interest. It's only running what I want it to run, and not doing any shit in the background that goes against my interest (DRM, Telemetry etc). I also find it a lot easier to work with than Windows. Android ADB just works without a gazillion different drivers for each phone/ROM version, and using different GPUs together is a lot less of a pain (try using a current AMD card and an older AMD card in the same system unter windows).
I didn't start down this rabbit hole for any 'real' benefit though, I just wanted stuff to look nice, and Linux (while being difficult to set up sometimes) can look incredibly beautiful.
As for culture, not sure I understand the question. I am like traditional architecture in Taiwan/China/Japan etc. as well as whatever you would describe Hong Kong, especially the places with appartment complexes. You know, where you look up and only have a limited view of the sky? My ideal place would be a huge city with lots of skyscrapers and lights, but little comfy noodle shops or something in back alleys.
Regarding eastern europe, one of my parents comes from a slavic country and I really like it compared to western countries I have lived in, despite being objectively worse off in economy or 'cultural relevance'. It also has something to do with how I view western society though I think. The mentality between western and eastern europe is just very different.
Not sure that made a lot of sense, but it's half-past-two in the morning so that's the best I am gonna be able to type I think
