    I wear Backcountry climb joggers. I originally got them for climbing when I started and was looking at climbing specific pants but now wear them also as my office/lab pants. I've got a black, olive, and three khaki colored pairs. They are nice and light seeing as they are supposed to be climbing pants but still look nice enough for an office/lab setting. Also I really dislike wearing jeans and a belt so them having an elastic waist with a tie is a nice bonus.

    In regards to getting stuck in Oxygen not Included, i know the feeling you're talking about. I realized this is more of a sandbox type colony/engineering sim and that's help my mindset shift a bit. It's all about conquering and controlling the resources available to you on the map you got.

    Some things are critical, like food, water, and oxygen, to get going. But after you can get those sustainable, the game becomes more of an engineering sim type game where you can work to make whatever you want. I usually end up tapping into magma for geothermal power or a petroleum boiler and call it a game but you can definitely make some wild setups.

    My main go to game has always been World of Warcraft. I've been involved in every aspect of the game at some point or another, high end pvp, mythic raiding and mythic+. The newest expansion, dragonflight, has been a huge breath of fresh air compared to the last two expansions. I don't feel pressured to play daily anymore for the risk of falling behind on gear progression. Compared to my life during those two expansions, I can't just play the game anymore all day everyday. I have a job, wife, and two kids now and I'm glad dragonflight is in a state where I can only raid log or log on to run a key or two before being done without falling behind.

    Recently, in my downtime from wow, I've also been playing a lot of Oxygen not Included (oni)and just got into Kingdom Come Deliverance.

    Oni is a nice little colony/engineering sim. You have to keep little duplicates alive and they definitely try their best not to stay alive. You have to figure out how to build and design food, oxygen, power, etc. for your base.

    Kingdom come deliverance is a different style game from what I normally play. It's a medieval times rpg set in the 1400s in Bohemia. Some of the style of play reminds me of the Witcher 3 and it's been super fun to play so far.
