Thanks! Sometimes it's tough to keep going on it, but we don't give up πŸ’ͺ

hobbies - maybe try doodling on a random piece of paper to start, it helps get the mind going! Reading late at night before bed has also been helping me.

Don Corgi: doncorgi.com , been working on it with my Partner for over 10 years already.

Awesome about AI automations! I'm learning more Product/Data Feed Optimization and Automation for the same goal.

Sleep consistency is a BIG one! What are you trying for screenless hobbies?

Busy with Don Corgi (the art website) + updates on Recommended Play.

On the hobby side: learning small electronics repair

Health side: trying to get more daily steps

How about you?

Nice, I'll probably play with the wife, so she'll be the human sidekick that takes the aggro haha

If I can get more NPCs in (2p + 2 NPCs?) it would be even better

Yeah I'd say that's spot on for Code Vein 1, linear labyrinth πŸ˜†

Honestly, the second one being more open world is a bit of a con to me, I'd rather have a linear playthrough. (Elden Ring was neat though, but somewhat empty)

How was Code Vein 2? I've enjoyed the first one!

Love the art btw πŸ‘€

How does that markdown format work in rails 8.1? I think I'm still in base rails 8.0

Usually Ctrl + Shift + T opens up the latest closed tabs (including a bunch at once)

Text at the top reads, β€œstop normalizing the grind and normalize whatever this is.” Below it is an illustrated scene of three anthropomorphic animals sitting around a small wooden table inside a cozy, rustic interior, wearing robes and calmly drinking steaming mugs, conveying a relaxed, slow-paced moment of rest and companionship.

Let's be cozy together instead

Sorry for not being present much! Been working hard on different things and mostly staying away from social media.

How have you been doing?

Here's my super professional screenshot. πŸ˜‚

Update: Added dynamic deals to each game page!

website: recommendedplay.com/

1) Checks if GreenManGaming has a deal
2) Falls back to Amazon if not

Was looking forward to adding this!

Gotcha! Seems interesting, but the website I'm working on right now has too many pages via programmatic SEO. Might try with a new small project!
