Pretty damn good, actually.

Making some progress on DIY (of which I am terrible). Made a habit of getting up early to do some project work (building 3D models - of which I am terrible). Keeping in touch with buds through PC gaming (of which I am terrible)

Just generally enjoying all those things I'm bad at. Can't imagine how buzzed I'll be if I get any good at them.

First, welcome to feddit.uk!

If you're enjoying it then it doesn't matter how bad you are, other than it makes you happy! I'm awful at DIY, it actually makes me anxious.

What games are you playing?

Thanks for the welcome!

I get that. I occillate pretty wildly between anxious I'm ballsing up and head-pounding rage at my own ineptitude whenever I DIY solo. Thankfully, I have a mega-competent spouse.

We're actually playing Abiotic Factor; hadn't heard of it before my friend recommended it and now it's started a ritual of once a week gaming sesh and chatting about life. It's basically free therapy.
