For me, weirdly, it's a tie between TotK and Street Fighter 6. Every time I sit at my couch, it's a coin toss of which one I'll be feeling. I've never been that into fighting games, but SF6 is really clicking with me. Then of course is the unbridled freedom and creativity of TotK. It's a tough choice.
I also need to download the FF16 demo. Heard it's amazing.

TBH, the thing I disliked most about Reddit ended up being the community. It was nice having little niche communities, but wisps of inceldom, hivemind, and that general air of arrogance permeated the entire site. Killing the apps that made the site tolerable to use (Apollo, in my case) was just the last straw. I already used a plugin that deleted all of my posted content from the past 5 years, so I'm officially out, and it's kind of a relief. I'll stick to Discord interest servers and small communities like this one from now on.

Blogging was my entry point to writing. It's useful to see what kind of content people are interested in. Plus they say that you need to write some 100,000 words before you're half decent at grammar, sentence structure, style, tone, etc. and blog writing is a fairly safe way to get the hang of it.
Sometimes I'll read my old blog posts and laugh at how bad they are, but that's ok. I'm a better writer now as a result.

When in doubt, I refer to my outlines. I'll find the next story beat and skip to it, then find a way to bridge the gap later. I'm definitely more of a plotter than pantser (a painful lesson to learn btw), so having a roadmap really helps.

Like most others, I use Scrivener for long-form content like novels.

For short-form content and general notes, I was one of those people that bounced around to a million different apps (I tried Apple Notes, Bear, Upnote, Evernote, OneNote, Craft, Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, Roam, etc.) but I just ended up landing on Apple Notes. Every app had its drawbacks, but the biggest drawback of all was the constant switching. So many hours wasted testing word processing software.
