    Is the writing worse than S03? That one was tedious to get through.

    Admittedly I only have a couple of hours due to my busy schedule, but it really has a cosy atmosphere for a trucking game.

    Vegetable smoothies and broths, blended stews. I would avoid sugar either in honey or fruits as it drives inflammation.

    Okay, Wreckfest and Snowrunner are such a treat I'm playing them every day. The last time I was so into a game was 9 years ago with Minecraft.

    Spiderman: Brand New Day. Best MCU film since Infinity War. Proof that we don't have superhero, but bad movie fatigue.

    I have started watching Resident Alien as I'm really enjoying the Once We Were Spacemen podcast. Liking it so far.

    I made the most insignificant graveyard of a base ever. It's so unremarkable one might think it's a pile of refuse stacked by a highstorm. I love it as unfinished and crappy as it is. That notion is a major victory for me as I can finally wrestle away from the artist's curse: "There is more that can be done. There will always be more that could be done."

    I can slowly retire Minecraft as a large part of my life and move to other hobbies. I will finish up my youtube series and only rarely visit the game. It's time to sail away with Frodo and Bilbo.

    Gruvbox Dark or Zenburn during nighttime and Gruvbox Light during the day. I loved Tildes themes back when I first joined. Something that was only vaguely accessible on reddit via RES.

    it's enough as i will now go into that film expecting an xman and the expectation will continuosly break immersion. Similarly to how people memed 1917 praising its one shot sequence and when I went to watch it I kept waiting for that sequence to the point it ruined the experience.

    I'm an extreme example so this might be too much for most people.

    I have been showering in cold water, even during winters, for the past 6 years. Although this was done to combat drowning induced ptsd, it has also done wonders for the electricity bill. Especially during winter. My bill never goes more that 30 euros per month on winter and not more than 9 euros during summer.

    I don't drive, so I walk everywhere. Owning and maintaining a car is expensive.

    I eat once per day and due to the diet changes I've made last year I also don't buy pasta, rice, bread, sweets, pastries, sodas, alcohol because I don't consume them. I also buy food every day. Why? So there is only one meal available in my home for the day. That way I don't have the temptation to eat more out of stress and boredom. So, I don't buy more.

    Covid borked my sense of taste a couple of years ago. All my meals are extremely simple which also cuts down costs. I have two metal plates, one cooking pot, one pan and a pair of utensils. I never have guests. I don't go to restaurants. I don't go out as all my friends live far away from me.

    I cut my own hair. This is something I learned to do more than 10 years ago while I was in university. It was tough to find a good hairdresser so I just learned it myself. Buzz cut during summer, relaxed crew cut during winter.

    Now, in terms of psychology. I research an expensive item for 3-6 months before I make the purchase. A laptop for example took me a year. I ask myself a simple question. Do I need it? How have I lived without it so far? Did I live fine? Yes. Then I don't need it. It's the same with extra food or clothing or whatever. You need water and you need enough food, but you don't need a beer because alcohol is a poison.

    I live alone. I don't have a partner. I'm a fairly solitary being, but all of the above wasn't born out of a need to save money. It was born out of solving problems. The drowning ptsd, the diet changes to combat prediabetes type 2, teaching myself to cut my own hair. Point is, it's easy to save money when saving money is a byproduct of your actions, rather than a conscious decision. Again, I am an extreme example, but I like it like this. There is some solace in being able to choose to live the way I do as opposed to it being forced upon me.

    And yeah, I save money, but money is not the point.

    This has me whelmed. It's a superhero movie that I won't bother to go to the cinema for. I'll watch it on my 15.6" screen. That's the extent of my interest. I just don't feel anything here. It's as if they are gaslighting the audience into feeling emotions that aren't there.
