Haha that's a wild description. I recently told a friend who doesn't play games that some of the best stories being told in media are happening in video games (and you also have a lot of B-level TV quality). I'll go with your suggestion and just dive into it - I like Match-3 games, so worst case scenario I just enjoy that.

That's what I was shocked by honestly. I think it's a solo dev? And it feels a little indie in that way, but the entire package is so tightly done and the story is actually fascinating - the game quickly became one of the best I'll play this year over many AAA games and Realms is now top of my list too. Really an insane achievement from a solo dev; they have a lot to be proud of. And their Early Access plan is to have Realms complete from start to finish and use it as a refinement process? Lot of respect for that.

"And I still think it's misleading. If they made the analogy in the video it would be different."

I was just responding to your own point, mate. Good news, it is in the video multiple times, even visually referenced multiple times. They even described as a cartoonish test while showing the cartoon wall gag. So, per your own words, should be good to go then, yeah? I mean, you're arguing with yourself at this point.

Easily the most effective for me has been to develop, review, and/or do one action item off a plan to be able to leave the job and work towards something I want to spend my time working on. Knowing I have a plan, remembering it and seeing that it's a good plan, and taking steps on that is a concrete reminder that the job I hate is temporary and I'm not stuck. That reduces the scaries significantly for me.

Then I also like to clean my place, light a scented candle, and read/watch something to make where I live feel cozy, comforting, and home-y. A reminder that even though the job is shit, I have at least built a home that I come back to. Might call a friend and talk it out too - works on both levels.

What do you do?
