Everyone here is giving you good advice mostly but I’m going to depart from that and give you a potentially unhealthy crutch.
Food.
Start baking or trying to get good at asian food or something new to you. As long as you dont massively overeat it gives you something to research, guves you an activity that keeps you from wallowing and when you nail it dopamine from delicious food.
Tiddies are only a good thing when attatched to someone.
I will not explain how I know this.
There needs to be some respectful images that you can reply with on social media when you see local businesses using AI images just to make the point that if they wont hire local for their advertising why should I shop local to keep them in business.
Fallout Tactics.
I love that game. I’m playing through it again so I can play through it and do a proper Iron Man run.
I love the series and yeah its definitely not for everyone but I would say finish book one. Its a very unique flavour. I cant think of another “If you like that then you have to read DCC”
I second the beater cars. Both of mine combined cost less than the first year depreciation on an average brand new family car.
But it definitely requires a skillset, mindset and tool set. Its not a lifestyle for everyone.
Honestly imagine how much better the traffic for somewhere like greater LA could be made by an AI system using cameras and variable speed limit signs to control the traffic flow.
If they used A.I to make our lives better in just a few ways I think society in general would be so much more tolerant of their shit.
Some movies only hit on the first watch. Once you know the gags, twists or ending its just “Yeah Ok.”
Thats also giving some of the women too much credit.
They are aware that they can exchange vagina for money. You say the right things, act the right way and some guy who hates the idea of his wife having more say than him will happily keep her from ever working a day in her life.
My wife is academically smart but seat of the pants stupid, I am academically a dumbass but a genius on the fly.
Its a good system.
“Honey, this is becoming very much a you problem!”
Like we can afford to smoke.
I hate to say it but its the sole reason I keep giving Nintendo a pass.
When I buy my daughter a AAA Nintendo title its a FULL GAME and its damn well polished. I get exactly what I paid (too much) for.
I didnt know who that was… Now I hate Imagine Dragons.
I dont love LB but something about them hits just right for the gym. LB were popular but they werent sellouts. Even if you hated them.
Nickelback had the chops to really rock, but instead settled into a top 40 safe role and cashed the check.
Slot machines are random. What about what I said suggests random?
The idea is to have an RPG that makes you PUSH every second you’re on the battlefield. No Leroy Jenkins behavior, no grinding low xp mobs for hour after hour day after day.
F2P Diablo style mmorpg with a twist. Each year starts a new season. $20 buys you a character for the year, pick your own class, skills, stats and starting gear. Punishingly difficult, permadeath, maximum playtime of 30 hrs a month, META adjustments on the fly by devs every month. Play like a risk averse little bitch? Serious XP penalty. Get overconfident and die? Thats it your season is done. Why would you play that? SERIOUS prize money on the line for the characters that make the end game.
Theres free characters and no playtime limit on those but you get a randomly generated character with slower progression and a greatly reduced prize pool for the characters that go the distance.
I am a petrolhead, I love cars, but even if I won the lottery (and I mean a BIG win) I could never justify spending more than $250,000 on a single car. I believe thats the price point where you are buying a flex not a car. $250k buys you (or gets you built) an absolutely top shelf truck, sports car, 4x4 or family vehicle, any number of incredibly cool vintage cars or one absolutely mental amateur race car.
Even then, theres maybe 5 cars Id consider dropping that kind of cash for, EVEN THEN I dont think I could justify having more than 1 of the 5.
People who play the more involved and serious sim racing games look down on it because (IMO) its the most accessible for casual gamers.
Thats why Gran Turismo haters can fuck off.
I owned a ps4 already and Id owned Gran Turismo as a casual gamer before I decided to give sim racing a go. I bought a $200 used wheel and pedals off marketplace and built a cheap rig for about another $200.
It might be “Simcade” or whatever elitist gatekeepy shit people want to say but my total investment to suck at simracing is $500. You can spend $10,000 and still suck at Iracing.
“I know pasta, my great grandmother was Italian”
Yeah, how do you know your great grand mother wasnt the worst fucking cook in the village? Maybe her food was so bad that her family had to get on a boat and move half way around the world where nobody knew about how shit her cooking was.
