I have work I need to do but I find myself scrolling here and on reddit-logo for hours at a time. It feels paralyzing but also its hard to stop. Not like reading about Lolitics* makes me feel good so why am I addicted to it ๐Ÿ™ƒ

  • I was gonna correct that but it works. LOLitics, because everything is fucked so hard you just gotta laugh...

I still doomscroll, but a little while back picked up a little Linux handheld emulator device to have a different option. If you're okay with touch controls/like games that work well with them using your phone is an option too. I've been playing some random itchio games on it and working on Mario and Luigi superstar saga. I really like having good games with actually usable controls on me though.

edit: oh and another big thing I love about these handhelds is portmaster which lets you run kind of a lot of PC games, both classics and modern lightweight indie games. Big plus if you want to play for slightly longer sessions imo.
