Im genuinely confused. Then why even cite those articles? Is there a hard rule for "You must cite this much articles" before publishing?

I agree with the part " People say but don't do", sometimes it sure feels like some people say something for the sake of joining popular voices.

But on the other hand...Life is full of trail and error. It is sure sad to see people not sticking around. But the spark of impulsiveness & spite to switch to better software. Sometims, someone will stick around and we will have another more Linux user that enjoys it.

Pacific Drive, Whispers in the wood DLC.

Finally they added something that will actively chase you and act like a stalker type enemy(stop at nothing). You can crank up both your car and the enemy's speed to make chasing super tense.

The atmosphere and sound design are even more spooky, fantastic stuff.

The story's main character is a bit chatty, but I think sells the "mad cultist" impression pretty well.


Performance wise: Using lossless framegen 2x to pull the framerate up from 30 to 60. Pixel rendering in this game is cheap, so no amount of lowering resolution will boost much performance.

The story is linear, but the gameplay can be less linear if you choose to mess around.

The map is basically a large area with many "zones" interconnected. You'll have a desired zone to go to(by story requirement or upgrade collection), and you are free to route your drive there however you like(avoiding bad weather, choose zones with gas stations..).

As for how a round end, think of extraction games. You've collected a lot of parts for your next run, now you get out of there via the game's extraction mechanic (This part is most fun since the game turn the heat up), you will end up safe'n sound in the garage if you succeed. Failing a run is rare on normal difficulty, you will keep ~ 40% of your loot in a failed run.

Each run is quite lengthy, you can pause & save mid-run in game. So if you want something that can just kill time, this game will do just that.

Pacific Drive!

The game got patched quite a few times and now it can hit a stable 30 (most of the time)(there will be dip into 25fps when things start exploding or under heavy acid rain).

Despite having to turn all graphical settings to the lowest, the sound effect and environmental eerieness still did a great job creating the atmosphere.

Overall, a drive or two on the deck feels awsome. And when you got bored, just put it to sleep and drive a real car.

I probably wont try "Video game between sessions", I would just not go back to studying LOL.

As for the take more break & don't expect too much part, I agree! Progress is progress.

Good luck on finding new mechanisms! Feels like experimentation & messups, are forever parts of our lives (more so on our quirky brains).

Nighttimes are quiet and calm. Perfect for study. But mayyy mess up sleep schedule quite a bit.

Perhaps its because we are good at "pretending to be focused"?

A lot of people said I give off the impression of a "good student" but deep down I wonder how fast people will figure out.XD

Having dependable/depended friends sure sounds like a good motivation.

I wonder how well this will work for math related subjects. Will definitely do this for Spanish learning though!

A lot of people mentioned Pomodoro timers, I should pick this one back up and use it in non-library studying.(To better motivate myself in different environment.)

As for music cueing, I almost forgot that I had an album that do just this! My mp3 got so many new music over the years, think I lose sight of what the mp3 was intended to do. (Less distraction + nice music to study)

Lastly, 5~4 class a semester? Yeah... feels like I should cut back on how many hard classes I tackle at a time. Currently 3 heavy class + 5 filler class(class that are easy but have homework on a per-week basis)。

Points taken, Thanks for the advice!

For some people that can't cut out Youtube entirely.

Leechblock + unhook + not logged in

Is a pretty decent combo. Both Leechblock and Unhook are browser plugins ment to crack down on doom scrooling(viewing).

As for keeping track of subscriptions, pen and paper is a good strategy.
