This is the mental equivalent of Saitama's workout from One Punch Man: 100 sit-ups, 100 pushups, 100 squats, and a 10-km run. (Repeat daily until your hair falls out.)
Now everyone needs to play all the clones of that dumb auto-shooter on rails. Their ads keep telling me that game is going VIRAL right now. I think they must have misunderstood someone saying their ads are like a virus.
Doing this just now, it's quite meditative. Clears the other thoughts away because it's just this short little thing that won't take a lot of time so tasks that would take longer are easier to postpone and discount. And when those "tasks" being discounted and postponed are mostly anxieties that are non-actionable so I can't do anything about them anyway... It's nice. A nice little pattern breaking reset button like taking a deep breath and stimulating your Vagus nerve and stuff.
My mind goes all over the place when I'm in bed, so I legit do stuff like this every night to help me relax and fall asleep. Like, I choose a theme and for each letter in the alphabet I start listing in my head as many things as possible. Last night I did Marvel characters, and I think I was asleep by letter ''F". It's stupid and silly, but it totally works for me.
As a baseball history buff, for a long time my way of "counting sheep" in bed was:
5 baseball players whose last name begins with the letter "A",
then "B", "C", etc.
When after a few nights I worked my way up to "Z", I started over, but with a twist:
5 baseball players, whose last name begins with the letter "A", and who played before 1950.
Then when I made it to "Z",
5 baseball players, whose last name begins with the letter "A", and who played after 1950.

it's also like 2 hours compared to 2 minutes.

I was thinking he'd wind up with a braniac-style nemesis.

What happened with those brain training games? Seems like they vanished suddenly.

Everyone's brains became fully trained and they were no longer needed
