It's been good so far and it also has the benefit that I'm pretty tired by evening time and I don't have less trouble heading to bed instead of doomscrolling.
I go through periods of working out for a few months and then my life routine changes so I need to adjust. Come winter for example, it will be more difficult to wake up and go to the gym when it's so dark and cold outside so I might have to experiment with other schedules.

Games are still running specially during the weekend at around 3 pm EST. There’s a discord channel you can join for live banter.
The game was originally developed by Microsoft but they released the source code and you can now play on steam for free:

Comment on How do you deal with the world getting hopeless everyday? in ~talk

“Live as if you are living a second time and as if you are about to act as wrong as you did on your first one.”I think the idea is that you realize what is your personal responsibility at this moment. Nobody else is in your unique situation and there is something that life asks of you. What can you do this moment that nobody else will? So then you ask, but what should I do? But by looking at the present as if it already happened once, and as if you were not satisfied with your original action, you realize there is something you can do.
I’ve just started to try this but I thought you might find it useful too.

UI/UX designers (at gov.uk maybe?) are trying to adapt the interface to the user: a first time user would see the full website with descriptions and explanations but as the user becomes familiar with the site, the interface starts to be streamlined for simplicity. For example a save button would initially be an icon with text but eventually show just the icon as the user now understands what the button is for.
Anyone interested in playing the old spaceship shooter + RTS Microsoft Allegiance? It's free on Steam and I can show people the ropes on weekends, Saturday or Sunday around 2pm EST. Once you have the basics it can be pretty fun to play as it is all team based. Pickup games last anywhere between 20-45 mins with some exceptions lasting longer/shorter than that.
