I also like to play Tetris99 on my switch when I have a few minutes to spare. I bought an RG351P retro handheld a couple years ago and I'll play some retro games on that as well. As a lot of other people have mentioned, I just don't have the time anymore. I have to plan ahead or seize moments of opportunity.

Comment on What, in your opinion, are the best true wireless earbuds for the price? in ~tech
socryptic LinkI have the PIxel Buds Pro and Jabra Elite 75t. If you're able to get either of them on sale, they're both worth it for the price. The Jabras have even dipped below $100 on amazon.I have the PIxel Buds Pro and Jabra Elite 75t. If you're able to get either of them on sale, they're both worth it for the price.

I've tried LSD, weed, Adderall, cocaine, nicotine, dextroamphetamine, phenibut, and more.
I realized I had an affinity for stimulants because I've dealt with untreated ADHD for most of my life. Now I have a script so no need for all that.
My general rule for drug usage: try to stick to mostly weed and psychedelics. I'm not really into downers, at least from what I can tell with phenibut and pain meds I've received for dental procedures.
LSD was great for me. I always wanted to try it but it took me years to finally take the plunge. I got some one day on a whim while getting some weed. I started out with a micro dose and worked my way up. I never had a full blown trip but I did have some great experiences and visual alterations. It made me realize I stress too much about stuff that doesn't really matter. I held onto that since that experience.
Weed is fun occasionally. I tried it a few times when I was 19 or 20 then I didn't touch it til several years later. I used to smoke way more often than I do now. Whenever I smoke now I get pretty high and end up learning more about myself and things I need to improve. It's not all self reflection though - a lot of times it's relaxing or entertaining.
Phenibut was something I came across while browsing the nootropics subreddit. It's supposed to be relaxing in small doses but euphoric in recreational doses. It worked a few times but wasn't my cup of tea outside the euphoria. Everything else about it felt dirty and gave me a wicked hangover. I wouldn't recommend it.
Stimulants just helped me focus. I did the smallest amount of cocaine at a party many years ago and didn't feel much. Didn't care to try it again.
I've always been open but careful when it comes to drugs. There are some I'll never try, and others I'd still like to.
