Have you seen The Straight Story, by Lynch? It shows he has the range to make a beautiful, character-driven, slice of life story based off of Stardew Valley, but generally he doesn't go that way.
Removing 4k streaming from my subscription is the last straw for me. Fuck you, Max, for fucking over tons of content creators before this. Fuck discovery and fuck your garbage reality TV content trash. Fuck your terrible new app layout. Just generally fuck this era of streaming services.
I'm so pissed because HBO Max was a pretty great service for a time.
If you convert them to usdz files (RealityConverter can help with this) and you have an iPhone, you can open them up and it will throw them into an AR camera mode where you can take photos with them in it. You can also embed usdz files in web pages and it does this through safari. Check out some examples here: https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/quick-look/
Make a meme where your cat is fighting a 5-foot tall melty-looking mouse!
You also can import them into RealityComposer and make simple interactive AR applications without doing any coding.
Legends and Lattes might be some easy lovable reading if you're looking for low stakes character-driven fantasy. It's very low on action, but there is some.
A former adventuring hero orc swordsman decides to retire to open a coffee shop, collecting a cast of local misfits to help make her dreams a success. It's light but basically D&D meets Stardew Valley if that makes sense.
Let me sell you on not reading it (yet): it's two extremely well crafted and lovable fantasy books and some beautiful novellas, but the author will (likely) never finish the series and has been pretty awful about it. It's been well over a decade, his editor has called him out on not having written anything in that time, and there have been some other controversies such as repeatedly using the promise of progress on his book to raise money for a charity he runs but then not delivering on those promises.
The books are a trilogy and not satisfying without an ending that may never come. If he finishes this trilogy then it's a must read. But until then it's a cautionary tale.
I leaned on as many friends as I could. Break ups are universally difficult and even friends you might not have seen in a while tend to have empathy and love to spare to help you get through this.
I also leaned on as much self care stuff as I could. I take long baths, sleep a lot, and take an appropriate amount of time off from work as sick time to do things.
Also, block your ex and purge his stuff from your life as fast as possible. That's usually the best option if he pulled something like he did here.
I'm sorry you're going through it. Remember to grieve and that grief isn't a linear process. You'll have good and bad days, but you can get through to the other side stronger.
I downvoted this one because I do play games but I don't know the rules!
