Tried Runescape but I don’t like the controls or the camera and probably don’t have the patience to faff around with a clunky older style game.

Debating getting rid of this ukulele because while I could definitely try to tune it as a bass just for lols there are some reasons (explained but I don’t fully understand yet) that it wouldn’t work very well. And the fret is so short that by the time I get to the base there’s not a lot of room for my thumb and it collapses backwards. I want a mini practice guitar instead but let’s be honest - I still wouldn’t practice.

Ordered 2 pairs of new pants I hoped would be comfy but after trying them on I might like to return them for a different size.

May I suggest a 3/4 sized guitar? And also JustinGuitar has a lot of free resources.

I’ve found some cool mini ones intended for travel, it’s just… while bored out of my mind I’m so constantly exhausted and lazy and probably wouldn’t be able to stick with putting the work in. So would be spending money on something only to abandon it and have the item become clutter 😔

boredom is very tiring in itself, it means your mind is desperate for activity, has no activity and yet is being attentive

do something that is not boring and makes you feel good about yourself

so many hugs

Thanks. Easier said than done but hopefully I find something that doesn’t feel like a chore
