  • Hunt Showdown with my mates, really loving this event. Had been burned out of the game for a long time but it feels sorta new now.

    Crusader Kings 3, loving Tours and Tournaments. Hadn’t played much ck3 till now, I miss some features from CK2 but, I’m sure it’ll get there eventually. Not like CK2 was perfect out of the box.

    Project Zomboid: doing a TLoU inspired run with a bunch of mods on apocalypse settings. It’s pretty hard, but very fun.

    Rimworld: always there when I need it. Currently running a mafioso vampires run, pretty fun, but I think I’m ready to move on.

    Honestly OP, I’d look into third party controllers. I’m assuming you’re gaming on PS, but if you’re gaming on PC, 8bitdo makes bang for buck xinput controllers. I got the pro (I think, has paddles round back) and it’s held up through Rocket League, Elden Ring, Fifa, and For Honor. No drift issues just yet.






  • This. The two times I’ve noticed my spoken english getting better were when I worked at a call centre and when I spent hours and hours on my clan’s Discord back during New World’s release. Plus, it allowed me to really see what weaknesses I could address by just asking people I was hanging out with how they would pronounce a word. I’ve recently started to have the same thing going with Battlebit, but I haven’t found a group to game with.

    If OP’s SO is at all interested in history, Overly Sarcastic Productions has a discord channel and people there are beyond nice. If Gaming is an interest, there’s tons of niche content creators with their own discord to just chat in.






  • I enjoy the simplicity of weightlifting. Make sure your form is good, count reps, count sets, take note of the weight lifted. All of that keeps my mind occupied for 2h, no room for it to wander into topics I’d rather not think about atm.

    I also find some measure of joy out of knowing I’m lifting more today than I was last week, it’s simple and measurable progress. No room for subjective bias, unlike other things I’m trying to improve upon.

    It also has the added benefit of tiring me out. GAD and ADHD make for horrible bedfellows, they’ve made nights sleepless for me more often than not, so I’ll take any help I can get.

    Edit: otoh, I hate cardio with a passion. Its boring and does nothing but make me sweat and lets my mind wander. I’ve tried everything, from music, to audiobooks, to podcasts. Plus, I feel like I run loudly, like my feet are made of lead, and I don’t like being loud.


  • I’m SzPD and not from the states. Had to go through Houston last year on a connection flight, when I first saw those tablets in the airport I thought it would’ve been the bees knees. Thing is, those things are so overloaded with useless shit (like ads) I just wanted to talk to a waiter. So many clicks to get to the main courses on offer, and there wasn’t any available space for notes, in case a costumer had a specific need (allergies for example). Plus, signal was so damn slow it took a while for it to load the dishes’ pictures.

    No contact ordering has potential but it needs UX designers on top of the whole thing in order to make it more convenient and faster than just telling the waiter what you want.
