I read a lot of people claiming that waterproofing technology has come to a point where this isn't too much of an issue, but that's as far as my knowledge goes

I think I only saw a trailer when it was announced. It looked kina horrible to be honest, but after reading this I'm imagining it like one of those games that are kind of bad by usual standards and that you can't really recommend to anyone like you would recommend any other game, but that is just so unique and special in its own way that it sticks with you. Something like Pathologic maybe, but without the depression

I'm lazy, so I was hoping to find some comics-specific tool that searches the web for the right filenames.

I remember there being something like that for games on the Wii homebrew channel when I was a kid. You would select it from the menu and it would look online for the right name and cover

I live in Italy and don't really give much attention to latin poo songs, but it sure feels like it.

I have to say though that those are probably the ones that get here. I don't think that in Latin America there's no poo music for the rest of the year.

EDIT: obviously pop, not poo. I'm leaving the typo because it's funny. EDIT 2: GODDAMMIT I wrote poo TWO TIMES? What's wrong with my fingers?

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and I hated it.

It takes a very cool premise, then fills it with incongruences and predictable twists that you understand chapters ahead of the protagonist. Then it all ends up being (SPOILERS AHEAD) a "humans used to literally talk to nature, modern society bad" mumbojumbo with some kind of unexplained multiverse in it.

What's the best thing that can happen to a singer?

Having a name that sounds good

Thanks for the suggestion!

Since you look much more knowledgeable than me, could you help me understand how to navigate the overwhelming amount of different versions for every piece of music? For now I'm completely ignoring who's playing and conducting and sometimes I timidly try to listen to another version, usually just to come back to the comfort of the first version I listened

I recently started listening to classical and boy does it require a completely different listening approach! I'm listening almost exclusively to Mahler's No.5 since my attention fades away after the first movement and I need lots of listening to know what's actually going on

I live at the top of a hill and keep thinking "oh it'll take no time if I shield surf my way down"

I'm using Top 6 Hours since I'm trying to not use my phone that much, and when it gets boring I switch to Hot or New.

Sorting by New is particularly refreshing since the communitoes are smaller and it doesn't feel as a depressing ocean of posts no one will interact with.

I already commented on your older post so I'll just copy-paste what I wrote:

Let me tell you, if your interests keep changing and you’re easily bored, you’ll get bored of every new hobby you find. Thing is, boredom is inevitable even when we do things that are pleasurable, so you might as well find something you actually like and “elevate” yourself in some way (be it physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, you name it).

I’m a psychology student and I love what I study. Is is fun? No. Do I get bored often? Hell yeah. But god I love doing it, because at the end of the day I feel enriched and with a new perspective on the world. Every single time I decide to persevere through difficult or boring material instead of booting up a game or watching YouTube I feel so much more myself.

And mind you, I’m terrible at this. I struggle so much to keep myself from getting into the hyperstimulation rabbit-hole, and I often spend whole afternoons jumping from one thing to the other (not necessarly games/social media, often I keep jumping between books and articles and projects every 10 minutes without ever finishing anything), but it’s a process.

That said, I would suggest someting like music production. You can get as wild as you want with technicalities but it’s also creative. I recently discovered Pure Data and it scratched that itch of both doing something creative and learning something technical.

Whatever you choose, embrace the boredom! It’s part of everyone, it’s part of life. The hardest thing is getting started (e.g. I stayed up late to work on a new hobby and the next day I have no desire to get back to it, but as soon as I start doing it again for as long as ten minutes I’m absorbed again), often you’ll fail but it’s not a race. You could also get back to an hobby you started a while back but approach it from a different perspective (for me Pure Data did it with music production and coding), so that you’re not overwhelmed but don’t have that feeling of “already seen” neither.

On a side note, mandatory “are you seeking professional help” question. If you’re not, start doing it. If you already are, good job! It can feel slow at times, maybe you keep talking about the same thing (or change topic everytime) and feel like you’re not making progress, but it will yield its result in the long run!

Good luck with everything man! I know you’ll get something out of this situation :)

Loved this post, and I agree on everything. I don't really have anything to say, I'm just commenting to up this post hoping more people will comment :)
