I'm ded. Although my big trick lately is just adding 3x to whatever I think, and it works pretty well

Yeah the content isn't quite as niche yet, but I way prefer it

I used to make maps by hand. Over time I got better and better at holding on to where I was. I've read studies that playing 3d games increases spacial awareness, so it might get better over time.

Other options I do when I'm too meh to bother is mods to add maps and quest tracking if the game doesn't already have it
