How DARE you show me this meme when I should be writing my thesis
Thank you! I used to have more accounts on other instances for these cases but recently I have been loving this instance so much that I’d rather just wait instead of using my alts. So thanks for all your hard work!
It finally clicked for me why I love 5e’s combat so much (as the only TTRPG I’ve played - still a newbie!), while other people always criticize it. It’s because my DM is awesome and keeps including visual aids, descriptions, and ways to make the combat dynamic such as using the environment either against the players or against the enemies!
Off topic: that font gives me fuzzy feelings inside
I’m sorry, this is one of the most amazing twists on this meme I’ve ever seen. I burst out laughing. Is it OC?
People have mentioned good options such as books, and they have mentioned hobbies, but since apparently you like video games, why not try developing some games?
It’s free, just download a game engine such as Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot (my vote goes to Godot as it’s open source but you can’t go wrong, try whichever sounds more appealing and if you don’t like one check the others out) and follow some tutorials. That’s where YouTube can shine again!
It’s a great way to exercise your creativity and learn some programming. If you don’t like programming, you can join a team and just be a designer, thinking up gameplay concepts. Or the other way around, someone else can help you design the game while you code it.
Or… Maybe you don’t like programming. Why not try making digital art? It could be pixel art, 3D modeling (both of which go really well with a game development hobby, but with 3D modeling you can transition into 3D printing) or just plain old art, digital or not.
It’s just an example. It’s amazing how many things are available for us to learn on the internet, you cá try anything you ever had a passing interest on. Always had trouble drawing? Go watch some tutorials and try again! Want to learn a new language? Get on Duolingo to learn some basics and then watch some TV shows or movies in other languages!
I know when you are really, truly bored, all of these will sound dreadful. But stick with it past the initial boredom and you will find something that will make you unable to stop.
Keep us updated!
