    Aaand… this is my cue to go to bed. It’s 6:30 AM here and I haven’t slept a wink yet. I’ve been up all night being super productive, as is my M.O. as a retired night owl.

    I just got Anno 1880 and it’s latched right on to the optimization part of my brain.

    If I just arrange the pig pens this way for soap production I get this modular section I can paste and rotate, plus it saves 4 tiles on my island

    It has not been good for my sleep.

    It’s not as bad as Factorio though, that game turns me into a husk of a human that wants nothing but to make the factory grow.

    Most people that claim to be night howls actually just got used to feeling like shit all the time. Sleep deprivation is not sexy and it’ll fuck you up eventually.

      i think you’re leaving out the rather important aspect of being unable to sleep, it’s not like night owls are just choosing to stay up. I’ve had long periods of my life where i simply could not sleep before 02:00 no matter what i tried, i could go to bed at 23:00 and literally lay there wide awake for 3 hours then fall asleep.

    Okay… I don’t think it’s particularly hot. I am a creative though, I occasionally freelance as well as having a day job and when that happens the last thing I look like is hot. I become grumpy, I get dark circles around my eyes, I get pimples, I gain weight. But yeah I can function with caffeine and 2 hrs sleep

    So you want to understand me,
    You just see what you want to see.
    There’s no way I could help you out
    You don’t know what it’s all about.

    Nothing like hearing morning birds on a work day because you ‘5 more minutes’ 100 times.
