New Bike, Depression

I started getting a feel for my new bike a couple days ago. Compared to my physical condition prior to grad school, I'm in awful shape. But cycling the Dutch countryside is fantastic!
I expect I'll be avoiding Amsterdam for the foreseeable future.

This depression/anhedonia/lack of motivation is getting worse.
I need to get some library schools apps together by the end of the month to be considered for Fall and it's really not easy. And I'm not doing the housework I ought to be either.

Today I'm listening to They Might Be Giants and cleaning. Music really helps me feel up to doing things when I can manage to feel good enough to convince myself to start playing it and do something.

New Computer for Danae

We are building a new computer for Danae and parts are slowly arriving. We have the monitor so I unboxed it and tried it out to make sure it works. I've never used a curved monitor before. It's weeeeird.

Other Games to Play

Dilemma:

My Factorio game has become complicated enough that I don't always have the brain power to figure out what to do next. I'd like to play some Rimworld because I like games that feel like fighting entropy in a potentially complex, technological way. But I don't own Rimworld and the creator is such an asshole that I don't want to give him money.

Games like Graveyard Keeper and Prison Architect are often described as similar, but I wouldn't enjoy the theming. What else is out there?
