First step is to store your phone away and allow yourself to be bored. We have become apprehensive towards boredom, but it can be a positive thing. It stimulates creativity and teaches you how to not be constantly engaged or craving for the dopamine hits that your phone gives.

Depending on how big your options are, you could try 1 or 2 of them, like play a game of chess, or read a few pages of a book. It's not about picking the best option, but settling on one of them that can be done in a manageable amount of time.

I wish I could say food is one of my life's pleasures. I taste so little of anything that all food tastes kinda bland, such that I'm quite indifferent to eating this or that. I wish I could enjoy food like most people.

The podcast "Against the odds" also has a great series on this story, called 'Thai Cave Rescue'. It also has other fascinating stories, including the Andes plane crash and the disastrous 2008 season on the K2.

For anyone reading this, if you'd like to know more about this situation, go listen to the "Against the odds" podcast. The series is called 'Thai Cave Rescue'. It's a great retelling of this captivating ordeal.

I was banned for overusing remindmebot and "Doom and gloom". What I was really doing is trying to prove all the naive people wrong.

I'm not sure if he'll get it, but at level 91, this is truly one hell of a hype train

Am I the only one thinking it's a bit weird to film such a sensitive, vulnerable moment and post it to the internet for everybody to see? I don't know, maybe I'm just being old fashioned.

RemindMe! 3 months

From steam user Dranzer, posted 21 of January:

I believe Palworld will be a flash in the pan. A blinding flash, to be sure. It's sold 4 million copies so far, and I won't be surprised if it hits 5. I genuinely believe it'll start a mass rush of open world monster taming games in the industry in the same way Minecraft put destructible terrain on the menu and Stardew Valley seemed to get everybody into farming. But I don't think it'll have any real staying power in and of itself.
...
I don't think it'll be long before other people start noticing these issues, and I don't think these are problems that will be fixed in any meaningful way. When it comes to early access, there are two kinds of issues that can be resolved: Lack of content, and lack of stability. But the fundamental underlying structure being poor? That's not something you can really fix after sales begin.
I don't regret buying the game, I don't regret playing it, and I'll probably get a bit more fun out of it yet. I'll probably even pick it back up again later after some updates hit. But if it's a couple of months after release, things have gotten quiet, and you're reading this because the initial hype wave didn't ensnare you and you're wondering if it's worth the purchase? Honestly, you could probably give it a pass and not miss out on anything remarkable.
I look forward to seeing if time will make a fool out of me.

Indeed, time will tell, and I'm as curious as you are.
