We talked stuff that works you up, how about things that you do to calm down? What techniques, activities, mantras, stims, etc. do you do to keep yourself comfortable and safe? Feel free to share what you’d like - and something kinda cool is that you might end up helping someone else down the line.

    People who love animals get the healing power of them. They just lift you up with their sweetness. I used to listen to music, but I stopped at some point. I’d get an earworm and keep that sucker playing on repeat and zen out and BLAM! Chill. (Blam maybe wasn’t the right word but I mean all of a sudden I’d realized how chilled out I was)

    What ryhthm games? I can’t play them, but my sibby plays Konami stuff. My fav is pop’n music.

      I mainly played Project Diva for 10+ years, but now I also play Theatrythm FF. I think I would love Pop n music but never have it a try (the special controller looks so good :) )

        Ooooo, those are the guitaroo man kinda ones with like - lines and timing right? How any of you play these is outta my head. I can sing, and I understand rhythm but translating that to this kinda stuff is just *wuh!?*

        It’s got a crazy variety of songs if you ever want to check it out here’s a playlist of all of them apparently. I hope you get to try it someday =)!

          Yes, it takes time to get used to it, but it’s almost automatic at some point :).Thanks for the playlist, I will have a look at it ;).

            No worries, if you wanna send a cool jam (or jams) from either game feel free to toss it here. I love fun music =)

      Crypt of the Necrodancer on steam is a fantastic rhythm game, and you can use your own music on it. The switch version is portable, which is a plus, but there’s no ability to swap your music in.

      I also second Theatrhythm! Final Fantasy music is almost universally gorgeous.
