I listen to audiobooks or podcasts while playing so it doesn't feel like I "wasted" all that time cleaning pixels.

I work from home and it's also great for helping me focus during meetings.

I thought I was a vernal pool, but y'all, I might be a playa...

Wait, tyromancy is real?! I thought CDPR were joking when they made an entire quest line out of it in the Witcher 3. I got a nice sword called the Emmentaler out of it and everything. Huh. TIL indeed. Thanks, OP. I never thought to Google it.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my comfort games, but I hate replaying the end of act 2 because of the emotional toll.

In Devil May Cry 3, the Nevan boss fight and backtracking through the rearranged tower after it's activated are just tedious.

Another user said the Fade section of Dragon Age: Origins, but I'll go with the Deep Roads. Everything you learn in that section is fascinating, but man, I just want to see the sky again and you're down there for a while.

I've been pretty happy with my Motorola moto g series phones over the last several years.

Maybe look into an Onyx Boox instead of a Kindle. It will let you download books straight from the web (like standardebooks.org and Project Gutenberg) without having to side load. Also, you can add the Libby and Overdrive apps to it since it accesses the Google Play store. Also, it accepts all files formats so you don't have to convert anything.

I read on e-readers a lot and I've been known to long press a word on the page of a real book to get a definition. Yeah... Muscle memory is a hell of a thing.

Dragon Age: Origins. Not sure why. I was a big fan of Mass Effect already, and of story heavy RPGs in general, but I stopped this one pretty early on and sat on it for several years. Needless to say, it stuck the second time and now I've played it and the other Dragon Age games multiple times.

Yeah, it's the price that bothers me the most about this. For the same amount, you can get a whole Switch Lite.

And I'm still salty about how they treated the Vita. This is what we get as the first handheld successor to the Vita? And the Vita didn't cost much more.

Yeah, @Freesiana, I have to know where you got that Mass Effect pillowcase. I want one.

Also, adorable sus kitty!

The little fuckers have given me PTSD. The toll they take on your mental health is real.

It's almost pornographic. I can't stop staring at it.

This explains why sometimes I'll research something or study German on my days off instead of playing a video game. I thought I was "wasting" my day off and not properly relaxing. Instead, I was letting my brain off its leash to do what it wanted and that's what it picked. That task was actually relaxing for my brain at that moment.
