You can play them in any order, but I’d recommend playing the English games before the Japanese market games because the Japan games have more difficult levels.

I’ve mostly been wanting to play Rocket League, but I’ve been super stressed and for whatever reason playing against real people stresses me more. I think it’s because I can’t just pause the game whenever I feel like it.

So I’ve been mostly playing against ML bots with RLBotGui. As a gold/plat level player, it’s actually a great way to practice.

I’ve also been playing through all of the Adventures of Lolo games(1-3 US and Japan, GB Lolo, eggerland series, plus all of the many rom hacks) on my Anbernic handheld. It’s my favorite puzzle game of all time.

I recently watched, “Russia 1985–1999: TraumaZone” and greatly enjoyed it.

It’s about what it was like to live in the Soviet Union at the end of communism and then the end of democracy. The story is entirely told with footage from the time.

I’d like to also recommend my two favorite documentaries about labor unions, Harlan County, USA and American Dream.

I was a binge drinker. I would buy a big bottle of whiskey and drink until I fell asleep, then wake up and start drinking until it was gone. Then I’d be sober for a while and eventually binge again.

I had a sort of similar gradual experience with quitting. I was enjoying it less and less, mostly just getting depressed and feeling sick from the constant changes in body chemistry. I went from being blackout drunk 2 days a week to 2 days every other week, and then every month or so. At one point I realized I had been sober for 50 days and decided I needed to be done with it forever.

Now I’m at 200 days and almost never think about drinking. I have basically zero desire to drink, all I can think about is how bad it made me feel.

I don’t go to bars or really socialize in person at all. I would recommend trying to find other ways to socialize that don’t involve bars, but I have known sober people who can happily hang out with people who drink.
