Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
I'm bored and miserable. Help please?

CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
Learning cooking or working out are probably the two best time investments in terms of things that take up your idle hours and also improve your quality of life. Reading and artistic pursuits aren't far behind, and if you're that unimaginative, go volunteer.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
a little activity and sunlight should help.
Google your city and find out stuff to do. Then try doing it, even if it's just "visit the public library". Give it a chance and really try to explore what you see.
Or just take a walk, or buy a bike and take a ride for greater range. You'd be surprised at what's around you in your neighborhood.
I think it's really fun to do the tourist thing in my own city every once in a while. Put aside any "lol no locals go here" snobbery, and act like a tourist. I think it's fun, anyway. You'll get some fresh air, exercise, and maybe you'll meet some interesting people from different parts of the country/world. Obviously, this may not be applicable to you, depending on where you live.
You could read a book. Really, any book. I assume you have some books in your house? Pick one up and start reading it.
If it happens to be a cookbook, try to make one of the recipes out of it that looks good to you.
Go for a walk. If you don't have a job, get one. If you don't particularly need the money, try to make it part time.
Really, just do anything besides playing video games. That doesn't mean you have to stop playing video games altogether, but it's good to have something else to do.
Are you trying to cook spaghetti at the spa?
No that's where you buy the ingredients. And a sandwich.
I think there's some regional confusion here.
To me, a spa is a place where you go to sit in a hot tub, get a facial treatment, back massage, etc. Not where you buy groceries.
Just the way the sentence was structured you may think that you are supposed to look up a recipe (I would say pasta) then go to the spa (need hot water for pasta right?) and get to work (ie start cooking).
Boston area, although the preponderance of the modern spa and the rarity of the neighborhood grocer has killed it off. When my dad first came to the area for grad school, he thought his roommates were gay because they'd ask if he wanted to join them at the spa every single day. Apparently, it comes from the time people thought tonic was good for you and would drink to their health.
Either way, it's more fun to frequent the local greengrocer than a chain, although smaller-footprint chains like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods aren't terrible.
You get to meet like-minded people and it looks good on a resume.
Good idea. Volunteer or find an internship somewhere.
It's like a FPS that hurts!
Seriously, though, I've only played paintball once, but I had a lot of fun doing it. It's an adrenaline rush, and a pretty good workout.
