Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • You might just need to reduce choice anxiety.

    Once my library got really big, I would find time to game, but then waste it on figuring how exactly I want to spend the time. End up on youtube or something and not actually get into a game at all.

    The solution was to keep just a few games favorited, and forget the rest existed.

    When I’m done with a game, it gets unfavorited. When I buy a new game it gets favorited.

    If the list gets too short, I might do some spelunking in my library to favorite something from my backlog.

    This way, each time I sit down to game, I have a very short list of stuff to start or continue that I might actually manage to pick from.


  • What the others said.

    Maybe you need to take a break from games and indulge in some other, or new, hobby.

    I like audiobooks, electric skateboards, cycling, manga… And more.

    You could also expand the kinds of games you play. I keep trying new genres and if one gets boring I try something else.

    Don’t force yourself if you aren’t having fun. That’s a quick way to really ruin something you like.

    I’ve gone through several episodes of feeling like there’s nothing I want to play… But, if I keep giving things a chance, and make sure not to burn myself out by trying to find something too hard, or forcing myself to play something because it “supposed” to be fun, even when right then it isnt, something eventually gets me hooked right back in.

    Most recently that has been Deadlock. I can’t get enough of it and the feeling is the best.







  • For the mouse, I recommend G305. It’s wireless, but it lasts a truly stupid amount of time on a single AA. Just keep a spare in your bag and you will literally never have to think about charging it.

    It has a fantastic sensor, and doesn’t break the bank. As long as the shape fits you, it should be good.

    For keyboards, look for “tenkeyless” or even smaller. Tenkeyless can come with full size keys, while being smaller by dropping the numpad. Even smaller keyboards might drop the columns of keys with the arrow keys and home/end/page keys, the function row, or even the number row. Somewhere along the spectrum you should get down to something that’s about the size of a SteamDeck, or smaller, without making the keys you’ll actually use while gaming, smaller.

    If you want to save on thickness and weight, consider LP switches. Low profile mechanical keyboards have become more available. These’ll be thinner and have shorter travel, but without going as flat as most laptops. They can be really nice, while also being way more portable than boards with full-height key switches.

    I like them myself just for the ergonomics. A keyboard that lays flatter on my desk means less bending upwards and then back down in my hands and fingers when using it.

    I use a G915 TKL, but that may still be a tad big next to the Deck. (And expensive)

    Edit: I remember hearing good things about keychron. I don’t have personal experience so do some research, but that K3 and this K7 seem potentially ideal. They also have a bunch of other models.




  • In my experience firefox also seems to remember where I last saved something from each website, and by default opens the download location dialogue there so I can often just hit “save”.

    If I’m saving something from pixiv, it goes to where I last saved something from pixiv. Same for imgur, catbox… Etc.


  • Yeah, things aren’t clear-cut. There are several matters in which Japan is painfully behind, and being such a populus country you can find people with views across the board.

    But a lax justice system isn’t one of them. In fact Japan almost certainly has a huge problem with ostracising and convicting the innocent. You might hear about people losing their jobs just for getting arrested, even if found innocent.

    And while laws also definitely need improving, it’s happening.

    The main problem with stuff like age of consent, is going to be communities and groups of people who are behind on these things, and thereby shielding individuals from justice by keeping the bad things happening out of earshot of society at large. Their justice system might be brutally ruthless, but that doesn’t help if it never finds out about the crime in the first place.
