What is your comfort activity (like comfort food)?
What is your comfort activity (like comfort food)?
Mine is playing AOE2 in easiest (or standard if I want a bit of challenge) mode against 3 bots. I just build my economy, wall up (and laugh at the enemy soldiers attacking my walls in vain), reach imperial age and attack once my army reaches the population limit. I also send 104 in the chat so they don't surrender and I can enjoy razing their all buildings one by one. If any of them builds a castle, even more fun. A build a trebuchet and watch it raze the castle from a safe distance. If there is sea, after I am done with the land, I build 3 docks, do research and build a navy and hunt down ships around the unxplored sea. It is fun, satisfying and relaxing.
What is yours?

Ah, you mean what do we do to cope with the crushing existential pressures of modern existence?
In order from productive to not productive:
Hike, photography, walking, playing music, writing music, editing photos/videos, producing music, cooking, playing videogames, Lemmy, porn.
That about accounts for all the time I'm not sleeping, working, shitting, showering, or shaving,
Can you please change 'working' to 'slaving' so that you keep the alliteration?
Sir/Madam, as an expert in this area, I draw issue with your comment: several of these can be performed WHILE shitting. The determination of which specific activities are compatible is an exercise left to the reader.
Hey you just coincidentally listed all of my interests
Since when is producing music less productive than playing music??
... okay so first, the word produce has like 600 definitions, so start there.
Playing music takes me away from reality and my thoughts a fuck ton more than producing ever will.
It is far more productive in terms of stabilizing mental health.
What the fuck did you think I was "producing" on hikes?
To be fair I'd argue hikes are productive for the beneficial health effects. I know they'd be good for me for sure. With that said, very similar list, just add 3D to the mix lower on the list and the photo/video is my job so not really hobby nor relaxing.
Haha I excluded web development for the reason you'd exclude photo video editing. And also network adminning even though I do have a little self hosted media server setup
Hikes are good for the body and the mind 🙂
