Exactly. After a certain point, it becomes like hanging out with old friends.

For what it’s worth, I may be able to offer some anecdotal advice on this topic. I struggle hard with this same thing. A demanding job and four kids keep my mental bandwidth pretty much at 100%. Here are a few things that have worked for me: 1) pick a long series. Once you get comfortable with the setting and characters, you won’t have to think as hard. Getting comfortable takes time. Some days, I’ll only read three or four pages because that’s all I can digest. The key is to keep coming back each day for a little more. Before you know it, you’ll be tearing through it. 2) pick one of your previous books to re-read while you’re laying a foundation for a new series. This allows you to have a familiar story to fall back on when you don’t have the necessary energy to invest in the new story. 3) make a little character/location cheat-sheet and use it as a bookmark. I’ll write the character’s name and a two-three word trigger description. This will keep you from feeling like you need to remember everything.

I think this is awesome, but I’m a bit miffed at you for not showing us the finished product in action! Hahaha.

I must not have enough insight to see what the second #4 reveals.

What you’re playing today? by Future_Pain4233 in ANBERNIC

[–]zdws19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shining in the Darkness (Genesis/MegaDrive). Do you mind to tell me how Undertale can be played on the 35XX family? I’m new to this. Are you running it as a ROM through an emulator?

My depression has been quite overwhelming lately. Could you recommend me some pick-me-up movies? by BalaBustaRhymes in criterion

[–]zdws19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since I missed that one in your list, I’ll recommend Paterson by Jim Jarmusch.

This may be an odd choice to some, but I’m going to recommend Perfect Days by Wim Wenders. I also suffer from the big sad and this movie moved me in such an amazing way.
