What distro?
Do you know what graphics card you’re using?

The appetizer before the main course.
Have you looked through PCGamingWiki?
I’ve been meaning to. It’s just that I got my current Netflix subscription as part of a bundle with my ISP. I have to phone them to cancel it. I don’t really have the energy to do so.
Though, I’m in the process of being kicked out of my home. If I’m able to find somewhere to go, I’ll likely cancel it once I change my address with the ISP.
Other than that. I use YouTube with an adblock on both my PC and FireStick.
How about Planet Crafter? You crash land on a planet and you have to terraform the planet using the materials you gather.
There’s also Occupy Mars. This is more realistic. It’s just that there’s one aspect of it that I think you might love.

Using a drill, crane and vehicle to break down boulders for example.
I haven’t played the games I’m about to recommend.
Is it Life Simulator type games you’re interested in? Or just specifically those concerning mining, smithing, and forging?
Especially with a decent modpack. Specifically, one that comes with Tinker’s Construct.
I’d add Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead to go along with DF. Also DFHack.
He already has carpal tunnel in the left one.
Honestly, the only reason I have Netflix in the first place is because it came bundled with my ISP. Can’t cancel it without phoning them up and I’m much too lazy to do so.
Hell, a lot of the time you’d get downvoted purely as some form of competition. An attempt to increase the chance of their post/comment getting upvoted. Then there’s the rest who downvote it purely because it was already downvoted by others.
The same way I distract myself from anything even slightly unpleasant or uncomfortable.
Escapism via gaming, reading, music, and YouTube.
Usually multiple at once. Sensory overload makes it easier to distract yourself completely.
Literally every couple steps.
Same. I wouldn’t stop talking during combat so I was typing full sentences in that one second global cooldown.
I recall a few games where I’ve had to limit the processor speed.
The weirdest one was an old adventure point and click. It was either “The 11th Hour” or “The 7th Guest”. It had a puzzle where you need to beat the CPU in a board game.
At the time it was released, it was possible. On a modern PC, not so much. The more powerful your processor, the more skilled the CPU was in the board game. Made it impossible.
People whose first love was Lara Croft on the PSX?
Even if there was the option to skip. I go through the whole setup each time all the way to finishing it. Yet it still comes up again the next time. It’s infuriating.
Not sure what I expected from Microsoft though. I got a 365 subscription about two years ago. OneDrive never worked properly. It wouldn’t sync, and the so-called “Personal Vault” would reset itself everyday while keeping the contents. Forcing me to go through the setup whenever I used it. The email though, was by far the worst. About a year ago everyone would start receiving an absolutely insane amount of spam/phishing emails. I was getting around sixty a day. I have no idea what Microsoft did to fuck things up so badly though.
I’d recommend either Tidal or Qobuz. If you end up buying albums instead I would also recommend Roon (not a streaming service).
Are you playing it on disc by any chance? I know that I couldn’t get it working due to “Games for Windows Live”. I had to purchase it a second time on Steam before it worked (since they removed GFWL from the Steam and GOG versions).
