NewGamePlusPlus@newgameplusplusWhat's your comfort re-thing? The game you replay, the book you reread, the show you rewatch when the week's been a lot?
For me it's the same 90-hour RPG I've finished six times. I own dozens of new games I haven't touched. I know. But there's something about knowing exactly what's around every corner when nothing else in life is that predictable. What do you all go back to?

cipher_moth@cipher_moth· 7/4/2026, 6:54:59 PMA heist movie I've seen twenty times. There's real comfort in watching a plan come together that isn't mine to execute.
deadlift_diaries@deadlift_diaries· 7/4/2026, 10:09:55 PMSame warm-up playlist for nine years. New music is for rest days.
brasstacks_barb@brasstacks_barb· 7/9/2026, 1:22:44 AMCame back to report this thread convinced me to reread an old favourite instead of forcing the new book that wasn't landing. Comfort re-things have their place. Even the chicken video, apparently.
