For my work lunches, I either read a book or do some random sketching. Alternatively I go and buy something outside and go for a walk while eating my lunch. Some coworkers make a big thing about eating together, but I really can’t do that every day.
At home I usually don’t eat on my own.
Happened to me where I felt loss if enjoyment over any game, that it felt like a waste of time and a chore. That eventually passed, definitely find them fun again.
For me the main reason is that games are the exact same with better graphics.I already spent hundreds of hours in one game getting better, unlocking shit, learning the maps. Why would I want to start from scratch for another game that is the exact same gameplay.
Nowadays I will only get into a game if it’s something I have never played before, and Pokemon games that I know what I am doing already and I just do. But starting a new shooter, new adventure game, rpg, etc, its just the same in green for me.
I just try to find all the information I can from all sources of all types, and then stress about my complete inability to be sure what is even true, considering how much of it is contradictory. The only thing I’m certain I learned is that neither side of this wants to tell the truth all the time, and new news will often change over the course of a week or so as people get caught in lies.
Currently I’m playing way less and almost refuse to do any grinding activities. I don’t play multilayer anymore except local console such as FIFA or Super Smash. When I’m alone at home I do mostly single player and I like short indie games the most. I’d rather pay 20$ for a 10 hour indie game than 50$ for a 150 hour open world grind. I’ll not play run around and grind like never Assassin’s Creed games but Hades was fantastic.
Takes Two and Cuphead have been great with the wife but I really want to play something like Cyberpunk even though I’ll probably never finish it.
For we now it’s more Paper’s Please and Undertale with occasional Elden Ring and Cities Skylines sprinkled in between.
Your politicians, along with business leaders, have made sure to remove those places as much as possible.
But I have to ask: Is talking not allowed in American libraries? Cause where I live, libraries are places where you can sit, talk, eat, drink, play board games, and of course read. There’s different rooms for different activities.
Some libraries have this in the US, but not all. Also a lot of funding to libraries has been cut over time. Due to this a lot of libraries that once had these features no longer do.
I haven’t gamed for a “long” time, as I got into it when I got my 1st laptop like 5 years ago… And I can’t say that I feel the burnout yet, especially with great games like Baldur’s gate 3 being released this year
All I can suggest is to read many sources. Keep a mental tally sheet. See which sources correct themselves when they are proven wrong. Note how often they present provably false information. Try to look up the original source material (some will misquote or distort to advance their agenda). Look for widespread corroboration from other sources. After a while you’ll know how each spins their information, how well they vet their material, and their overall journalistic integrity. That will allow you to rank credibility.
Misinformation often has only one source, and that source will usually have a history of misinformation or extreme bias.
I had to go to IKEA for some furniture during a hotter period in the summer. The amount of people just hanging out and preventing us from actually trying the sofas was really annoying. So yeah, you can do it but it’s a bit of a dick move to actual shoppers.
(also fuck IKEA for making their store into a huge maze where you almost have to go through the entire thing even if you just want a single item)
I’ve only ever been to one IKEA, but at least for that one, there were somewhat subtle but definitely visible holes in the walls and displays to allow you to cut through the maze.
ETA: Also - again, for that one - if you know what particular item you want, you can find that item’s location on the website and go straight to the warehouse to grab the item off the shelves.
