Basically just "what's your happy place?"

For me, there's this obscure card game that I was really into years ago. It's out of print, the company shut down years ago. But there's still a very small online community that discusses it (and by small I mean like, maybe a post every two weeks on the message board) and it's kinda nice to see people still talking about it. And I have thousands of these cards I still need to sort so I can finally try and get at least a copy of every card before it becomes so obscure you can't even find copies.

Whenever I'm feeling doomer about the state of the world or even just mentally ground down by life, I get those cards out and start sorting. I can easily lose a few hours that way but I'm vibing the whole time. Just wish I had more time for it.

So what about you all? Just be careful not to dox yourself or anything.

    I like to tinker with my 3d printer. It's in a back corner of the basement, away from everyone and everything. I always have a backlog of little doodads that my friends asked me to design and print for their projects. Plus, designing and printing things to make your printer better is always an option.

    Just a few days ago I caused a "maintenance cascade" where I was trying to fix something that required me to fix something that required me to fix something that required me to fix something. We like to refere to it as a "Hal moment" in our house.
