  • Out of sight out of mind.

    That’s my problem. Three screen setup. I have three browser instances open.

    Instance 1: YouTube. (Left screen) Instance 2: Gaming wiki’s and info for the game I’m currently playing. (Right screen) Instance 3. Online courses and study materials. (Right screen. I swap between instance 2 and 3 based on what in currently doing on my main monitor).

    I’ll constantly delay or forget to study just because it’s not the currently opened in the foreground.







  • I use “Sleep as Android”.

    1. Sleep tracking in an attempt to wake me up 30 minutes before my alarm depending on my sleep cycle.
    2. Smart watch with the same app for increasing the accuracy of sleep tracking by giving access to my pulse.
    3. NFC Tag. Using one of the settings from the same app. I’ve connected it to an NFC tag in my living room. I can’t turn off my alarm unless I scan the NFC tag. Nor can I turn off my phone, snooze the alarm, or lower the volume.




  • I’ve been meaning to. It’s just that I got my current Netflix subscription as part of a bundle with my ISP. I have to phone them to cancel it. I don’t really have the energy to do so.

    Though, I’m in the process of being kicked out of my home. If I’m able to find somewhere to go, I’ll likely cancel it once I change my address with the ISP.

    Other than that. I use YouTube with an adblock on both my PC and FireStick.










  • Personally, I don’t really bother with keeping up with things like upcoming releases, reviews, teasers and trailers.

    Not only to avoid the hype but also because there have been a couple of occasions when watching a single review or trailer on YouTube led to me getting a recommended video of the game during the release week, and that video had a massive spoiler in its title.

    I prefer to go into it completely blind. Maybe I just have incredibly low standards though. Some of my favourite games are those which were widely hated.

    Although after spending 10+ years on Reddit (which I’ve since quit using). Even the dedicated game subs are full of bitching and constant arguments, and God help you if you’re a fan of MMORPG’s cause that sub seems to absolutely despise them.
