That’s quite an interesting problem to have. I’ve never been very prone to nostalgia myself, partially due to there not being that many good memories. Not sure how to express this in English… I don’t know how I would have handled the whole dropping out, unemployment, being kicked out and being homeless. Or if I would have handled it at all. I’m impressed.

The part I can actually relate to is “I just want to keep barely working and playing games and staying up late forever”, while also very much not wanting to be that way. (typing this at 5am) For myself, I’ve identified the likely problem to be that I no longer have any goals or dreams. There isn’t really anything I’d want to work towards, nothing I want to achieve. I can’t come up with anything either, so I’m kind of stuck in the present unable to look to the future, just trying to survive day at a time. Whenever I do think about future, I can only think about it in a negative way. I’m curious, how do you view future? Or do you have any leads as to how you might get out of your situation?

If online friends aren’t your thing, this won’t be of any use, but when it comes to making real friends online… Based purely on my personal experience, I’d recommend some kind of an online penpal site. The ones where people look to chat with people from other countries or speaking other languages, for example. Differences between countries and cultures give a lot of interesting stuff to talk about, and easily leads to deeper conversations. Especially helpful if there isn’t much going on in one’s day-to-day life. And people there are generally looking for actual friends, more so than in most other online communities. I’ve made most of my best friendships on sites like that. Some of them I’m still friends with a decade later. (I just now realized it has been that long… damn.)

A soul eater trying to explain how what they are doing isn’t really any different from the humans hunting and eating other animals.

I don’t know why exactly, but I find this absolutely adorable.

Only goal I can really think of is unlocking War’s Retreat. Never really been a goal oriented player, although I did give Taskman a try for a few months. Surprisingly fun.

Guthixian Caches is a good minigame to pay some attention to. Anachronia also has a few useful things even early on, although most of it is for higher levels. You’ll want to unlock Menaphos, since that’s the low-mid level training hub and might as well get the reputation there while the content is still relevant. As longer term goals… Prifddinas and Invention are probably the most obvious ones. If you’re playing ironman, there’s of course plenty of other things that are useful just for them.

Storywise… World Wakes is a good one to aim for, I think. Lays a lot of groundwork for the newer stories.

I know at least Firefox and Signal do the same. I don’t see why it should be changed, since pinching and double tapping are also supported. Although, the zoom on double tap is indeed way too strong.

Me here looking at the last frames, trying to see where Hooty is stalking them from.
