Oh also, randomly, Warframe is my most played game on my Deck! I got the Steam Deck for the first time a couple weeks ago and then went and bought a bunch of new games with the recent sale…but a free MMO shooter is what has kept me hooked the most lately.

The entire Halo series.

I never owned an Xbox growing up when the games were originally releasing. I recently got a Steam Deck and bought the Master Chief Collection on sale last week. I’ve been having an absolute blast working my way through the campaign (still early in the first game!), and I’m just kicking myself now that I never got into this earlier when the multiplayer was more populated. This shit is such my jam.

I recently got a convertible standing desk thing, with a treadmill/walking pad for underneath. It has done wonders for my mental health while at work. Reading boring real estate contracts is a lot easier to get through when I’m standing up and moving instead of falling asleep in my chair while simultaneously destroying my back/posture.

I’d love to get into using Obsidian but it overwhelms me and freaks me out and also I just don’t know how to best utilize it for my personal work cases…I.e, how to blend professional/personal/creative uses into one all in app experience with Obsidian.

I actually just downloaded this on Game Pass - excited to try it out. Your description and recommendation is great!

I actually just downloaded this on Game Pass. Looking forward to it!

Yes, I definitely need to work on getting more “me” time. I am just…so exhausted. All the time.

The only time I seem to have for myself is in the early mornings when I go to the gym. Or when I’m commuting to work. Or when I’m walking the dog. All other times I am either working, or with family at home and constantly being pulled in different directions. It is a lot, and it is hard to find the balance that I think my body and mind need right now.

Definitely need to figure out if it is ADHD, depression, or a combination…

On your second point: I also need to work on this. I find myself constantly “doing something”. I’m listening to music while typing this; when I walk the dog, I’m listening to an audiobook or podcast. Same when I’m doing dishes or other chores. I rarely have “chill time” - or give myself that.

Thank you for this comment. I am working on myself and trying to see what I can do to help me get through this depression I’ve been experiencing.

I appreciate you reminding me that I am not defined by just my hobbies (or my work, or my failures, or whatever). I am me, and that is perfectly alright.

Just downloaded DayZ on Game Pass! I’m going to check it out based on your experience you shared. Thank you!

This is now the fourth or fifth time someone has recommended this one to me…I think it is high time I pick it up!

Any advice for a first-time player?

Ooh what’s this one like? How is it different from other gacha/ anime style games?

of course! Any recommendations there?

Honestly, Stardew Valley is so good. I bought it when it first released on mobile and have never once regretted it.

I’ve heard of Lichess and have seen it recommended several times around here! I just downloaded it. I wish I was a better chess-player…I tend to do the same things over and over again and struggle with really “progressing” beyond basic moves/openers…I always end up getting crushed pretty early on.

Nothing really, unfortunately. Life has been busy lately and, with kids, gaming is almost nonexistent.

This weekend my wife and kids will be out of town for five days and I’m honestly contemplating buying either Tears of the Kingdom or Diablo IV and just going to town on one of those all weekend…

For some reason, I could never get into RSS readers. I tried, but quickly felt overwhelmed and gave up. I’ve tried to get back into it over and over again, but always get just absolutely rocked by the amount of content that can be pulled in and get discouraged. It’s also hard and daunting to think about getting into it at this point, now, because there’s so much content out there that I don’t even know where to start with adding RSS links of stuff I follow…because sometimes I don’t even know where I get my stuff from (just from all over, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, email newsletters, kbin, Google News, etc.)

A big part of it, I think, is the fact that RSS doesn’t have community curated content. to me, it just seems like such a wave of news content…but a lot of what I enjoyed about Reddit/social media (including kbin) is the community aspect, allowing for more nuanced and popular stuff to be driven to the top of the feed (based on upvotes, retweets, user activity, clicks, or what have you). So the lack of that in RSS stuff really hinders me from fully adopting it.

this is great! I really enjoy the UI and the feel of this app.

@gkd@lemmy.world - any plans to allow for adding multiple accounts?
