    I started playing Spiritfarer the other day as a way of coping with the passing of my dog a few days ago, and also a divorce of a marriage of 19 years.

    On the odd times, I've been playing Doom 2016 (I need to finish it to free some space on the HD), Spiderman (got it as a father's day gift last year and I've been putting it off, also need to free some space on HD), and I'm trying to improve my game on Tetris Effect.

    Sorry for the edit, forgot to put some thoughts about the games.

    I'm still early on Spiritfarer, but it's quite beautiful (both visually and thematically). I'm not big on managing games, but as far as it goes, it's very laid back, much like stardew valley, but more story oriented.

    Doom 2016 I guess everybody knows. I enjoyed it until about halfway into the story, but I'm actually a bit jaded on it now, it's becoming a chore, and I just want to finish it more because I'm getting close to the end, and I'd feel terrible to just drop it at this point.

    I'm enjoying Spiderman, minus some of the side missions / challenges, specially the taskmaster ones. But the story is good, actually makes me want to get into Miles Morales afterwards.

    Tetris is something I just am always playing sometimes in whatever platform it's available. I discovered Tetris Effect a couple months ago and fell in love with its gimmicks. Too bad I suck at Tetris.

    Ok, so you're a lab technician. What parts of your work do you see as being repetitive and would benefit from being automated? Or, what processes in your work would yield better quantitative our qualitative results if it was done by a machine? Maybe you use Excel for organizing stuff, but some of that organizing could be improved and cut time on your work if it could be better tailored to what you do.

    That's just some ideas, I know nothing about labs or chemistry. The point is, coding is just the latter half of what entails programming. The first part is being able to identify problems and working out solutions to those problems at a high level - and then in the latter half you basically translate these solutions into code.
