Life pro tip. Here's what you do when you get critically stuck while writing code:
1 Power off your computer.
2 Are you thinking of taking a break or coffee and stretching? No. Don't do that.
3 Walk out the door.
4 Go to the bus terminal.
5 Visit the countryside.
6 Start farming.
8 Adopt goats and cows.
9 Never return or think of computers ever again.
10 And if anyone asks about your past life, just baa or moo mysteriously.
@nixCraft Isn't that basically what Dylan Araps, the creator of Neofetch, did?
@nixCraft, bus terminal? You mean a bus station? Fine, if one's nearby; else better to go to a bus stop.

11. Save your Story of Seasons game, turn off that Switch and fix that problem now that your brain got time to think.
@nixCraft swearing at a small plastic frog is easier for me

@nixCraft

1. Think through the basic common issues you've dealt with prior & contextualize the problem outloud
2. Think about asking your buddy
3. Anxiety about you just being dumb
4. Convince yourself, you are not dumb.. it must be something worth asking about
5. Ask buddy
6. Accept you are a doodle bop

@nixCraft that’s perfect pro tip. Thanks!
@nixCraft "Baaaar! Foooo!" Oh man, I can't even goat.
@nixCraft You'll probably think of a solution to the critical problem while you're on the bus to the countryside.
@nixCraft "I'm going to a commune in Vermont and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season."
@nixCraft i like how you're thinking but it's gonna be sheep
@nixCraft Does this method apply to the craft of teaching as well?

@nixCraft is this the next Hallmark movie coming out in December?
@nixCraft and 7?
I HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT 7 NOW!

@DerPumu

@nixCraft crime obviously. That is the only way to make a living farming, steps 8-10 are just about hiding that crime.

@DerPumu @nixCraft probably some failed farming enterprise that he's too embarrassed to mention.

@nixCraft

This also works surprisingly well if you work in financial services.
