Disclaimer: I do not know anything about KenKen puzzles (apparently it was/is popular especially in Japan…). Also in Japan the puzzle culture is on an absolutely different level, it’s hard to describe, but puzzle-solving even has a separate word for it: "nazotoki" :)
I’m not into videogames much myself. I was wondering if there is something I might actually like; so far city/civilization-building was the only thing that felt kinda ok-ish. I'm not sure whether there are good elegant puzzle games out there: everyone recommends Jonathan Blow's The Witness as some masterpiece, but despite all his philosophy and deep talks, after less than an hour I felt it was basically one puzzle with steadily increasing difficulty... given what I expected from his talks I was kinda disappointed.
For some reason your reply is associated in my head with a very very heavy book (it was hard to read... on physical level): Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. I sometimes have strange associations like that where it’s very hard to pinpoint the exact connection...
gardening been also helping
seasonal gardening rather than mass producing indoor or whatever
getting some of that sun vitamin that helps on not feeling too down, watching those plant growing overtime then when harvest time comes is chill time
walking the doggos helps too getting some of that sun vitamin as well and doggos are precious af, dont wanna make them all sad by not being there for them no more type thing
some people do deserve to be sad, but doggos dont, so, for the doggos :3
oh damn looks like sudoku :O
like, our grandparents didnt have videogames back then, and many would just sit and watch tv, the news, the worst kind of brainrot
my grandpa was a bit like that, watching lots of tv and news, but he also kept doing sudoku until his last days, kept those braincell actives, the type of activities that could be helpful to delay things like alzhimer/demancia and whatnot
but tv is not all that bad either
that might sound like the dumbest thing ever but in my darkest days, being like "i gotta make it until next week so can watch the new weekly episode of that tv show i really enjoy"
that literally sounds so stupid but it been very helpful, the small enjoyments of life
or like, when cant make groceries for awhile cause too broke or whatever, when finally getting to eat actual food is like the best day ever, those small things that make the day a little bit brighter do help to keep walking
