Power naps? In the car (since you’re not driving) or at any point you can get even 5-10 mins. Get a sleep mask and ear plugs if you need to. Try to sleep max 15 mins at a time, so you don’t get that super groggy feeling. Set an alarm or timer. If you drink coffee or tea, supposedly if you drink it just before your nap it will metabolise while you nap and give you a boost when you wake up.

Go for a walks in between to energize yourself. You can also do a sort of walking meditation to try and reduce stress, just kind of look around at the colours, light, shade and movement, listen to the sounds around you (and the gaps between sounds), the feeling of your feet meeting the ground and lifting up again, etc. Try to just take it in as pure perception and if you start thinking, just return to the physical sensation you are focusing on. Even 10 mins will do.

Eat an apple or two for a healthier sugar rush.

Even though I’ve seen TOS I never connected the dots! Didn’t realise their characters had appeared before. Must watch those episodes again some time.

Cidona, it’s basically a non-Alcholic version of one of the biggest alcoholic apple cider brands in Ireland. A gateway drug.

I never really played 2, but the art and music in 3 are amazing. Very fond of that era in fantasy art.

Warlords 3 Dark Lords Rising, Age of Wonders a close second.

I would second this. Find social events that are structured around some shared activity, whether it’s sporty, nerdy or anything in between. Takes the pressure off to meet somebody, alleviates loneliness even temporarily by keeping you busy and engaged. And if you do run into somebody that interests you and that might be interested in you, it’s way easier to break the ice and get talking naturally without any expectations by just focusing on the activity at hand. It’s a chance to forge a bond over shared interests and activities rather than the transactional detached experience you seem to be describing from dating apps. Some scenes also soft of have a naturally less conventional and more diverse following, so it might be easier to find somebody compatible.

Nice thanks, will check it out. I last checked pre- Steamdeck.

Cool, my friend always told me about it but when I looked into it last it didn’t seem to work on Linux. Must try it.

Does it work on Linux?

Is this an ADHD thing?
