Games:
- Truly relaxing games:
- Eastshade
- A Short Hike
- Mountain
- Dragon Quest 11
- Walking simulators
- Most games I play are stressful:
- Cook Serve Delicious
- Almost any Real Time Strategy game
- Almost any MOBA
- Chess
- Shooters and such
- Many games that we think of as relaxing can be quite stressful:
- Stardew Valley
- Roller Coaster Tycoon
Develop:
- What makes a game truly relaxing?
- What amps up the stress levels in a game?
- Do stressful games contribute to burnout?
- Making progress on writing for my game
- Got back to the gym after being sick, which helps me massively
- Chess as a metaphor for setting myself up for success
Repeat:
- What small choices have an oversized impact on your day/week/month?
- Tip for myself: Prioritize relaxing relaxation over stressful relaxation.
