Random shower thoughts6/7/2023 "Let me share a tip that might work for you as well then: some times you will procrastinate heavily because you're have a hard problem with no solution in sight. I've written in the past about this, let me copy an old comment of mine: I don't know him personally and this is conjecture based on what I've read about him, but his being totally immersed in a particular subject, to the extent of going to a thinking retreat in a cabin, is the best way to reach those Eureka moments. ![]() I find it hard to go back to work, and my working sessions are shorter and shorter the earlier I allow myself to play any games. It seems that modern game design generally avoids the dominant and dominated strategies that I used to enjoy finding and exploiting mindlessly decades ago.īy and large though, I personally try to avoid games until I’m done for the day. Newer strategy games I find lack this quality though. Many one more turn type games can fall under this historically. Lots of relatively brainless combat, especially if you use save games to avoid truly stupid moves. Something about the combat is meditative, especially the corpse runs from dying to an easy mob, that focuses my attention in ways I find other activities don’t. Suprisingly, though, dark souls is a good game to play. ![]() ![]() Other games that don’t work well for me are zachtronic likes, too hard, and too much like the problems I’m trying to solve. Multiplayer games of high action, like overwatch similarly are bad. Just like driving during rush hour in tretcherous conditions doesn’t work for me, but a driving sim where I can’t physically die if my mind wanders might.
