Either read or write.

I used to draw and play softball, and I still do, on rare occasions, but they're things that have kinda fallen by the wayside for me. I tend to keep my Kindle nearby so I can just grab it and read. Sometimes it's light novels like The Rising of the Shield Hero, dystopian fiction like Folk of the Fringe, or fantasy like Words of Radiance. Reading is nice.

All I have now if free time (mostly), so I spend it looking for things to do. Ugh...

Been on sick leave since September, and due to my illness, I can't be very physical, which makes things worse, since my work is quite physical. I've been in good shape with a great diet for years, but now I mostly have to sit around. I go out for exercise with my wife most days. Other than that, it's surfing around my favorite sites (including this one, of course), playing lots of Chuzzle :P , watching various movies/docs on Prime or TV, searching for old episodes of Law & Order and sitcoms, and eating waaaaaaay too much. My diet was always very regimented, but now it's kind of my main pleasure. Of course, on my chemo weeks I eat almost nothing, so it's an up-and-down thing. Also get in gameplay on my 3DS or PSP. Currently deep into Tactics Ogre again on the PSP. Love that game! And...lots of doctor appts.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
