Doing dumb runs in EU4 while cheating. I give myself a few techs at the beginning of the game to be stronger than everyone else and focus on my objective.
For example, Hindu Hungary, Jewish Arabia, Totemist England, Tengri Russia, Protestant Ottoman Empire, destroying France as a small East Asian country and forming it again by culture converting, being Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire by starting with an African country etc.
Meditation
Sometimes I pick through homebrew content other people have made and offer comments and suggestions. I used to float around on /r/UnearthedArcana before I jumped from Reddit, I'm kind of hoping something similar pops up in the federation. Either that, or on the really bad days, I play an old game that I've played a bajillion times before. I know the routes and strats, I can kind of go on autopilot while I try to decompress from the shit that happened. System Shock 2 is a favorite.
GuildWars 2, small scale stuff on the borderlands with my WvW guild.
Smoking and watching YouTube.
Not super healthy, I know.
Fwiw, I’m doing that, and kbin. Kbin isn’t very comforting, you say? Maybe, but at least there’s intelligent discussion to be found.

Gunpla. I go into a zen like state and achieve inner peace as long as I'm making dumb little robos.
Playing Palia.
Sudoku.
Watching YouTube videos of people making things in machine shops. It switches my brain off and just lets me focus on the work happening on screen. It’s so rewarding to see the process and the finished product.
