Im mostly a normie and just bought a Switch 2, first console in literally a decade (outside of a used PS4 exclusively for Bloodborne).
Since getting it Ive played

MKworld (fine, mostly play with my wife)
SMB Wonder (tremendous)
Links Awakening (great but way too easy)
some NSO stuff
Bananza

Of them all Ive played DK the least because, idk, it just hasnt grabbed me yet. Smashing the B button mindlessly wall then slapping the ground constantly for the radar, it's like I can feel my time being wasted and sucked out of me. Few games have made me sit back and legitimately considering what the fuck I was doing with my time.

I never played Odyssey and wish I just got that instead because the environments seem more entertaining. I like the variation. Dk so far feels like a variety of water parks and somehow that also just makes me think I should go the fuck outside.

SMB Wonder on the other hand is the second best 2D mario Ive ever played behind World. But still, its easy, ive played for two days and think Im already halfway done.

I get that Nintendo is for kids and then adults who grew up with it. Its either entry level or nostalgia. Even so, these games are too fucking easy. Maybe it was because I was young but even on replays SNES versions were never this easy and they had better secret zones.

Their side scrolling/top down stuff still feels innovative. Their 3D platforming seems to just be 'heres a sandbox look at all the wacky stuff you can figure out the very simple tasks via a variety of methods'.

As a lifelong Zelda fan I wont touch BoTW or TOTK. Ive tried the first multiple times. Fucking dogshit. And it pisses me off it's so popular because it just ensures Nintendo will never take the time to make good dungeons again. Not when you can make some dumbshit sandbox and MAKE THE SAME FUCKING MAP FOR A SEQUEL. Because making something linear takes actual effort. Anyways thats my fucking soapbox idk.

There really is nothing better than total physical and mental contentment for just a little bit at a time that also keeps me able to do my job

Same thing I always do, cold turkey I just stop. I can do this with pretty much anything. Drinking I didn't really plan on it, just had too many shitty nights of sleep and said done. Same with vaping. Same with periods of appetite or physical self sabotage. Once my mind switches Im fine. Probably a byproduct of Bipolar II but is what it is.

This was a substance I like had to go way out of my way to acquire and use again. Im never around the stuff not a single friend uses. I hadn't taken it in like 8 years since college. Then went through DNM, dabbled, binged and quit for months, then slipped into it daily. So fortunately all I do to quit that part is like, not do the runaround on DNM plus the main one I used just got closed, its another sign.

As far as 7oh thats tricky because its just a drive or clearnet order away. But I dont want it. Like the thought of it just really grosses me out right now as does the flab Ive accrued from not working out. Realization hit so Im done. Only other thing might be grabbing a therapist to keep myself honest weekly.

Yea pretty much and Ive done it before. AA/NA is out of the option due to keeping this from my loving but aloof wife, however I do have a few online communities that help, and it's nice to have the flexibility of when to talk. The rest is staying busy. I have plenty of real endeavors I can focus on.
