>>224795Something else I forgot to mention - I love to take naps during the day. It's again that satisfaction of doing something relaxing when most people have to work but also generally I find that sleeping is one of the most satisfying things I do. There is no place more comfortable than my own bed. I even created a shortcut on my phone that will turn on airplane mode, dim the screen and start a timer for my nap and it is within easy reach at all times.
Also, here's one of the pictures that are in my wallpaper rotation, I remember having this as my phone wallpaper a decade ago now when I was really into Minecraft. It still reminds me of those fun times even now.

>>224807Gardening is super comfy when it's not hot outside. I remember this spring I spent around 2h just cleaning the paths around the house with a broom. There was a nice wind going and it wasn't even warm. I try to help my folks with garden work in the summer too but a lot of the times I can't bring myself to do it in the heat.
>>224814I think I got to around season 4 or so with Dexter before it became too repetitive for me but I definitely enjoyed the 2000s atmosphere of it. BB is up for a rewatch soon too for me, though I think I liked Better call Saul better overall. 2010s are also still fine for the most part, some of my favorite movies are TF1-3, Pacific Rim and similar ones, which are definitely more recent. I think the main thing is a time when the internet wasn't so ubiquitous and smartphones weren't a thing yet or very new. Media set in that time just has a nice feel to it. Especially when it's filmed with a film camera and you have that nice natural graininess to it.

>>224795As a person with very rough ADHD: grabbing the first cup of coffee or energy drink for the day.
It's essentially God's nectar for me and has been for several years. Feeling sluggish in the morning, but then remembering that caffeine cures my ailment, and then looking forward to it, and then finally consuming it… it's all obviously very pavlovian to me, but then beyond the chemical compound it's all of the things connected to it. Putting on a playlist of "getting hyped for the day" music, maybe putting on some video games or setting up my programming environment, getting into a productive groove where I'm not hating myself. That's what makes life worth living to me.
I'm very thankful for caffeine working as a self-medication. Many of my peers aren't that lucky.

Playing a porn game with a calm video essay about Ultima Underworld in the background was a weird combo in the beginning, but now it goes together like PB&J for me.
>programmingTinkering with my linux system mostly, currently I'm packaging some windows games for proton. Been spending some time learning Rust too, where I'm writing a command line utility I actually think could be very useful as software for developers. It's been a very intellectually satisfying project, having been a python programmer for years it's been a huge whiplash but really fun.
Though it is frustrating to have a hobby where only a small subset of the already small subset of linux users know what my niche is and how it works, and my projects are only ever gonna sound cool to that specific niche. It's thankless work in that sense, but obviously it satisfies myself so who cares.

I love a good cup of loose leaf tea.
Earl's Gray when I am winding up, usually to actively engage in one of my hobbies, is a regular favorite.
Mint tea, sometimes with a bit of ginger, is my ideal drink to wind down.
No.225169
>>225166Tea certainly is nice. My mom also buys loose leaf tea for herself a lot. Usually some kind of green tea blend with fruits and stuff. For some reason the ones with the fruit always turn out bitter for me but the pure green tea is pleasantly mild. I also love mint tea, there's this expensive brand that makes bagged tea and their spearmint/licorice tea is real tasty. Too bad they're so expensive, though.
