I've heard a lot of people benefit from "body doubling": a YouTube video where another person is also doing the thing you need to do. Like studying or cleaning.

Should pop up if you search for "body doubling study" or something.

I think it would be useful to you to release a very early beta for 2 reasons:

  • apps are popping up left and right, I think some users may pick one and stay on that app after having tested all that are out
  • you can get early feedback on what people would like to see but also bugs and glitches they may encounter on different devices / instances

Spiritfarer. I needed a good distraction after my dad passed away, but I put it off for a year because I was afraid my grief would still be too raw at the time.

Then the grief grabbed me by the throat when playing the game where you need to help a frog pass over after death because he couldn't let go of his wife and daughter for whom he DIY's a lot. It was as if my very own father was imported in the game. I've never sobbed this much in my life over a videogame and it truly helped me process things so much better. So many valuable lessons to be learned from that game.

Edit: I ended up breaking the game by putting off the final quests of the frog character which is ironic because I needed to let him go, but couldn't.

Honestly: no.

But I must say that I wasnt enjoying reddit in the way I used to anymore. I used to scroll reddit in bed to wind down, mostly text posts (meaningful conversations) or cute animal pictures. Last few years it turned into doomscrolling with way too much video content like tiktok/reels/shorts. So I enjoy the text and image focus on Lemmy which also seems more civil (for now?).

I only know the videogame lemmings (vague memory) and I love how they used umbrella's when falling down. So I love lemmings, even more now I saw that picture. Go lemmings!
