Playing X4, despite the crashes.

But to be really honest, giving drawing lessons to 9-11yo kids. Something I never considered doing in my life, but damn does it make me feel good, though the kids' progress (or lack thereof) often leaves me wondering if I'm actually being any good

That sounds like rewarding work. I feel like even if they're not progressing that fast, just having a positive role model in their life is probably really meaningful

whaat x4 looks like modern tachyon: the fringe.

how did i never hear about this game before

X4 is a very complex game. You start as a relative nobody in space, but can earn money to create big mining and trading fleets to get more money while you're busy with other stuff, finally using said money to buy military fleets.

It's full of eurojank, it's a huge time sink (I'm a bit over 100h now), but it may be the kind of thing that tickles your neurons just right.
