Civilization 6, Helldivers 2, fallout 4, and elden ring are all in the several hundreds of hours for me. I’ve got some decent time into cyberpunk 2077, valehim, no mans sky, and the wither 3 wild hunt too.

Nothing approaching 1k hrs yet…

That stock photo is irritating… Get out of bed and sit at a desk if you truly require that many devices.

Boycott Nintendo

I’ve heard notion calendar is the best calendar software out there. If it also supports reminders really well (and I’m already a notion user), then maybe this is worth checking out.

Tbh I know this isn’t helpful, but I recommend take the L and find better games to play. Errantly perma banning users shows a lack of consumer consideration and does not deserve further energy to fix. They fucked up, take your business elsewhere.

Again, I know it’s not helpful but I think worth considering. Companies some decades ago used to be user experience as the top goal, but that has gone to the sidelines for many companies, and I don’t think it’s good to normalize. Hence, boycott when it happens.

For me it’s reminders. I use slack for work, and whenever anything comes up that I need to take care of (personal or work related) I’ll tell slack “/remind me about <thing> tomorrow/next week”.

I’ve been doing this for years. I have it on my phone and computer so it’s easy to view and add new reminders whenever I need. I didn’t think slack is crucial to use but I find it to be the most convenient, even more so then dedicated reminder apps

This image is hurting me

The materials needed to produce batteries and wind turbines and maintain them over time is the issue. Did your 62 page report discuss this?

Thank you for reminding me of this game. I think it is Microsoft ants

Yeah hate to say it but by the time this golden age ends with valve I’ll prob either not be gaming as much anyway or to your point have enough that I won’t really care about the newer games.

Wife spilled some beer in the keyboard. Screen doesn’t turn on, it doesn’t hold a charge, keyboard doesn’t work. But we need sensitive data off the drive.

Take it to their “genius” bar where we are told there is nothing that can be done for the old data and we should just buy a new one.

I take it home, Google a bit and try target disk mode. Et Voila I’m in and can get that data from the hard drive as though it was an external HDD.

Why the Apple “genius” didn’t share this option with me? They don’t actually care about helping.

And that’s the rub with Apple. They don’t give a fuck about their users or developers. Just want to herd them around to make more money off their overpriced garbage.

About 90 min according to my settings screen time. Looks like it divides into ~10 sessions throughout the day, each lasting 1-15 min.

I hardly use mine. I bring it with me on plane rides but find myself just watching movies instead. Trying to play on a plane and having to share an arm rest, idk it works out better in my head than in practice.

I find I really need to play a game consistently to stay interested, and that makes the deck hard cuz I reserve lighter games for it, like ori, but since I play so infrequently I don’t really end up being interested in the game I startup on there.

OTOH I play PC regularly, no battery concerns, much larger screen, better visual fidelity. The deck just isn’t reinforcing enough.

I’ve had this problem. My solution was when starting a game to play regularly and semi exclusively. I.e. I only have one single player game I’m working on at a time, and I play it multiple times per week to make progress.

And I just keep playing until I beat it. I then may take some time off gaming for a few days or weeks, but will eventually pick up another game and repeat.

This works for me cuz when I don’t play consistently and decide to take, say, a one week break from a game, I find I end up not returning. So it’s crucial to keep revisiting the game and sensing that progress or it feels like it never ends and drags on and on. There’s also things like muscle memory and strategy that if I don’t keep fresh at least a few times per week, it makes returning to the game feel like more work rather than just jumping back in.

I don’t have diagnosed ADHD so it may not apply to you but that’s what worked for me (and continues to work). I’ve played many dozens of games following this system for some years now.

Don’t overthink it

How long ago was this?

Lol

I have 2 monitors. My primary is ultra wide for gaming and the secondary is discord, Spotify, etc. so I can view messages and stuff without leaving my full screen game.

For work? I just use my Mac monitor like a neanderthal. Idk why but I don’t really find multiple monitors helps me work faster.
