I’m going to go with Satisfactory.

I get your point but at this point I get more satisfaction simply progressing and completing rather than overcoming harder difficulties. It’s a trade off I guess but I have a huge anount of games I haven’t even played so I guess It’s quantity over quality given my free time and that’s ok, I can change the difficulty back at any time but yes, I’m sure it impacts the enjoyment from the gameplay itself.

I’m definitely feeling this.

My schedule makes it hard to play online with people I know and I hate playing with randos.

I switched to single player games on easy mode just to be able to make progress and get through some of my huge backlog of games.

It is starting to feel a little forced though.

Are you me?

The green onion teriyaki sauce is fantastic. I mix it into ground turkey and make burgers on the grill.

On the sauce tip we’ve gravitated to SBR. It’s dark and smokey like bulls eye but sweeter.

For chicken I really like grill mates sweet and smokey rub

Cahoots

It kind of sounds like you’re describing bipolar disorder. These cycles of up and down.

You said this low period always happens right after your most creative periods. Depressive cycles typically last longer than the manic phase which is what you described.

Not a doctor obviously but I lived with it undiagnosed for a very long time. Maybe read up on it and see if it fits your experience.

Whatever it is I hope you find some relief.

Heres one I found that looks similar:

Flower Fly

There are quite a few different ones out there across the globe. Pretty interesting.

99% sure that’s a fly mimicking a bee, not a real bee. Bees have 4 wings and tuck them in when at rest.

That makes this fetish even weirder.

Luckily she was made out of cake.
