  • This is like asking if you should get into books or movies! The answer is absolutely! 💜 There are so so many games.

    The genre “cozy game” is a pretty good place to start, I think. They focus more on the vibe than challenges.

    Definitely stay away from games that use phrases like “souls like”. Those are games that are trying to be intentionally difficult for the sake of being difficult.

    A lot of this depends on what sort of console or computer you have access to. A lot of indie games are not very taxing and you can probably play them on your computer easily even if it isn’t a gaming computer. Things like Stardew Valley and Spiritfarer come to mind.









  • I’m on Lemmy essentially 99% of the time. When I’m on Reddit it’s because of niche hobbies that have more presence there. It’s very rare. (Or search index results.)

    I never use Mastodon. I was only on Twitter for very niche and interactive hobbies that do not have enough people to engage with on Mastodon. I mostly use BlueSky now but still use Twitter on occasion. It’s like 50/50 at the moment, but that’s a lot considering my BlueSky account is only like two weeks old.

    Lemmy has enough content to keep me entertained for general browsing and most of my hobbies.

    I have ADHD and I really hate this post. I’m tempted to claim it’s ableist, but that feels dramatic. This plays into that idea that hyper focus is some sort of super power that I can control. That “things I need to do toive” somehow aren’t things I want to be good at. My reality is changing fixation/hobbies every couple of months or so. I don’t want half finished projects everywhere.

    I want to have things organized. I want to not have random piles of stuff everywhere. I want to not fall into a spiral every time I misplace something.
