Yeah I have a “nextlist” that I maintain in a Todoist project, that just lists the next book, game, movie, show, podcast, etc.

I add to it and rearrange priorities occasionally, but it’s super nice to have when I get into that analysis paralysis you describe.

System shock 2.

Ever since covid hit, I’ve been keeping digital copies of several books like the following:

• Reader’s Digest DIY Manual
• The Forager’s Harvest - A Guide to Identifying Harvesting and Preparing Edible Wild Plants by Samuel Thayer
• The Complete Guide to Edible Wild Plants
• Back to Basics - Abigail R. Gehring And of course a copy of Wikipedia.

I haven’t gone full “prepper”, but seeing how fast things went sideways at the beginning of covid, it makes me feel a little better to set aside a little bit of hard drive space, just in case.

I’m sure influencers do, but over half the xevelopersyi like to follow on Twitter all created Mastodon accounts but never post to them. They all still only post to Twitter.

I’ve used sketchup in the past, and it works great, but for more recent projects I’ve moved over to blender.

I don’t go into crazy details for projects, so mainly I just need real world measurements and units, and the ability for my wife to be able to visualize the project as a whole. She usually designs everything and I just make it work.

I use the free version of Todoist. I don’t know what features google tasks all as now, but the big reason I switched from Tasks to Todoist was

1. Being able to share lists - Super helpful for things like shopping lists
2. Integration with things like Alexa - Going through the pantry and adding things to the shopping list with just my voice, or being able to add something to the shopping list just by saying it when it runs out is kind of like magic.
3. Easy natural language recurring tasks

I can’t live without todoist personally. I started with Google tasks.

Natural selection 2. The game is pretty much dead now, and it is not easy on new players, but no other game I’ve played has this awesome sense to teamwork and coordination with intense combat. It kind of ruined all other multiplayer games for me. I haven’t found anything like it.

Alien Isolation

Yeah, I was against it at first, because I don’t like options being taken from me, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

The whole idea is based on the false equivalency that upvotes and downvotes are equal, when in fact people feel negatives much more strongly, and they also tend to have an oversized impact, like mentioned by OP.

That’s the hard part. It takes some time to curate a good list. One of the nice things about ttrss is that you can drop any url into the subscribe field and it’ll search the page for RSS feeds. I’m sure other readers probably do something similar.

When it does click with you, them every other editor feels a little broken. It’s a double edged sword.

I self host a tiny tiny rss instance, and while I’m not a huge fan of the developer and his behavior, I like the web app in combination with the android app. It’s been working great for me for years.
