I definitely understand where you're coming from. I love Bloodborne, but it's really demanding. Which is why I don't play it when I want to relax after work. I play it in the weekend if I feel well rested and up for a challenge. To unwind after work I gravitate towards RPG:s which let me get lost in the fantasy and forget about this world or FPS games which let me empty my mind and just focus on reflexes and simple tactics. Mario games are also an amazing way to unwind because they let me put intense focus into it without requiring much thought. The repetition of trying to reach the toughest secrets and attempting the same run time and time again for an hour or so feels very therapeutic. On the other hand, I do play Magic: The Gathering at work during lunch. It may require a lot of thought, but it lets me drop work stuff entirely for an hour so I can come back to it with fresh eyes and new energy after lunch.

This is completely off the original topic but: by any chance do you use a Japanese-layout keyboard? The colon used in place of the apostrophe indicates you might be doing that. If so: I'm curious as to why. I used to live in Japan and ended up naturally getting used to it when using a laptop bought there, so the colon stuck out to me. A little more on-topic: Playing MtG during lunch would be nice because it gets you away from a screen for a bit. I find the most refreshing way I can take a break is with a book or some other non-computer related activity. I find that there's something about staring at a screen for a long period of time that seems to take away some ability to focus or something. I can note a clear difference in taking a break between using a phone/computer and not.

  I don't use a Japanese keyboard, only a Swedish and sometimes French (Belgium). The colon in "RPG:s" was actually a simple mistake because I'm Swedish[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)#Word-medial_separator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)#Word-media...

    I guess I learned at least one new thing today, thanks! :)
