i have a weird thing i do where whenever im a bit overwhelmed or sad or bored or
have nothing to do and stuff, i put on my music and sit down and play nes tetris
for an hour or two. the trick is not to take it too seriously, just play on
level 18 (dont try to get super good at level 19 or anything), and just be calm
and clear some lines. i can vibe to music (which i feel like i often cant do
because when i listen too closely to music i stop enjoying it or i am in the
mood for only a few select songs, if that makes any sense, here i just vibe).
plus tetris is really fun, and i feel myself passively getting better. like i
can just zone out watching the blocks fall while subconsciously implementing
strategies and doing cool-ass things that novice players wouldnt even think to
do, and thats cool as hell. i like tetris and i think its therapeutic for me.
