I watch a lot of horror but that managed to unsettle more than anything in a while.

There’s an active sub, so it has potential but does nerd everyone pitching in.

That was my reasoning.

Ahhhh, I didn’t check… Now I feel bad.

It’s an artform, like perfectly baking a poo. If you time it right you can basically fall straight asleep without your brain going “hey, I just thought of something!”

I messed up last night when I hit the wall after 9 days solidly on the go - I thought the bed looked nice and a little lie on it wouldn’t hurt but I still had shit to do before bed. So I dropped off but my brain kept prodding me back to near consciousness and I kept on having weird sleep paralysis/false awakening dreams - including one in which I heard a woman murder a friend outside my bedroom door but I couldn’t force myself off the bed to intervene.

You can do something cathartic. After getting dumped, I once pushed a tree down in my back garden and carried it around to the front of the house for disposal. My muscles ached and I was cut and bruised but felt a lot better afterwards. Other times I’ve just gone out drinking with friends. There are sater more controlled ways of doing it - try exercising to exhaustion, get away for the weekend and GI hiking, drive a tank, go to one of those places where you can smash things up, organise a big paintballing session, etc. Something that breaks you out of your routine, preferably gets you out of your local area, needs all your focus and tires you out. It should take your mind off things, get you so focused and tired you aren’t brooding about it and provide a symbolic break so you can leave your baggage behind on the other side.

It’s not an instant cure, this will all take time but it’s a decisive first step.

What I wanted was the social experience of chatting with people about games.

There’s !letstalkaboutgames@feddit.uk

Me too, I’m working on encouraging it. Progress is slow.

It has a huge number of plugins - this is a list of the productivity ones. You’d need to do some reading to see if it has what you require.

As far as I can tell, you can do.

Obsidian has a huge number of plug-ins, that cover a wide range of uses. I also use Zettel Notes as a quick md file editor and that has the ability to capture pages in markdown to read later. And/or you can use Omnivore.

Counter-proposal: Perhaps use Obsidian instead?

Thanks for that. I’ve been out of the game long enough that I feel I need to freshen up my skills and this is just the kind of thing I was after.

Although it’s open source, so anyone can contribute, the original developers are Chinese (it seems to default to the simplified character set, so not Hong Kong). It’s been going for a while but has only popped up on a lot of people’s radars as it got English-language documentation.

My best shot at a name: AllDB

It’s probably cooler in Chinese.

Online discourse tends not to be the kind of place (in the English-speaking world) where “please” is the appropriate response.
