For me right now, it’s books followed shortly of watching things. And I mean watching things that isn’t YouTube. Recently, I’ve been donating totes of books, books I’ve spent a long time having thrifted for and waited to get without having to cave to spending online.
And those books just sat there for months and months without being picked up to be read. Even books I wanted! I used to have a 5-shelf bookcase filled with books, another 3 shelf filled with books, a structure compromising of a shoe shelf and TV-stand filled with books. Now after donating things, I am only down to a single three-shelf bookcase just packed up with what books I have decided to remain with me.
As for watching things, I’ve discarded over 120+ DVDs from my collection, I still have a hefty amount, like I have nearly 5 full disc books filled with discs of a wide variety of movies and shows to watch should I ever not be online or want time off from being online. All just continue to sit there unwatched as I just keep watching YouTube video after YouTube video.
I just think I am coming around to the acceptance that I just will not give myself time to these hobbies and that they’re probably dying out, I predict that if I don’t do anything in the next couple years should they all sit and gather more dust, I’ll just let them all go.
Unfortunately, the types of video games I can play has been severely limited in the past several years by muscle disease. I have tried to adapt with low-APM turn-based games like Slay the Spire, Into the Breach and chess. While I have developed a certain fondness for these games, they were never my first choice.
The recent release of Silksong has been especially hard on me because its predecessor was one of my favorites. I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch a play-through of it yet.
Super duper looking forward to Mewgenics, though! Only 4 months to go.
strongly recommend just cheating the shit out of silksong on PC. download a trainer and turn down damage taken during combat + make yourself invincible for platforming challenges.
The new Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster is really good if you haven’t played it yet.
One of the best games ever made imo
Thanks for the suggestion. I forgot that came out recently and I never did play the original or the PSP remake. I hear lots of good things about it.
So good… The remaster includes the full original game as well
Have you tried Balatro? If you like Slay the Spite there’s a good chance you will enjoy it.
Definitely. Love that game. If it’s turn-based and even remotely popular there’s a very good chance I’ve played it.
Nice. Got any suggestions?
Also a very different kind of game but have you played citizen sleeper?
Never heard of it. Looks pretty interesting.
Lately I’ve really been enjoying Shogun Showdown. I made a post recently outlining a bunch of the games I like. I can vouch for all of those. Make sure to check out the rest of the thread too. I avoided repeating what others said.
Thank you!
