    I typically just make a to-do list with the Internet of finishing stuff on it within the week. Generally just pick a couple of things a day, honestly what I know I can manage. Anything more after that is a nice bonus. Doesn't always happen ofc.

    I find using this https://goblin.tools/ can help break down some barriers.

    As an immigrant to Scotland I find that the weather is not as bad as the Scottish like to make out. What was a bigger impact was the lack of daylight in the winter months.

    The musical scenes aren't like those in a typical musical where they sing the plot, so yeah you could skip them.

    I just love it how Art doesnt have some tragic backstory like some slasher villains. They are just out for a good time. They are living their best life.

    Google music gives you some storage to upload music to your personal library. Only you can access it but it syncs across devices etc. https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/answer/9716522?hl=en...

    Edit: just FYI, if you want to move fully from Spotify to Google music for this (or between any music streaming service) you can use services like tunemymusic to transfer over playlists etc.

    Watched Autopsy of Jane Doe. A lot of the elements were generic horror stuff, but still interesting premise and development.

    I know what you mean re Dnd. I don't blame people though, characters have so many individual unique mechanics that even as an experienced player I find it hard to remember them all.

    That's why I tend to go for OSR (or specifically post-Osr) type games for a lot of that fantasy hack n slash fix. Mork Borg and the like are dead simple and great fun.

    I'm going to dodge the question and advise you to look into ttrpg conventions ( online and irl ). Typically held over a weekend, you can sign up for a wide variety of games and see what is out there.

    Thing is what might be a great game/ system for me to run might really suck for you. Running Bitd requires a different headspace to DND as an example. You need to figure out what kind of stories and systems work for you and the way to get that is trying them out.

    If Zealandia is too pricey then head over to Otari bush instead. Close enough that you get the birds from the sanctuary and has old bush, 600 year old rimu trees, etc.

    I am currently on this journey.

    What I find helps:

    • Go for some light and easy reads. Stephan king was a good reintroduction for me.
    • I paired reading with other activities, i.e having brunch at a cafe on saturday and get through some pages. It is a nice environment, fewer distractions.
    • Setting relaxed targets. So if I have an hour to read, I will aim for x number of pages. No worries if I don't make the target, but if I do, it feels nice and encouraging.
