    Might have missed this last week but glad you got back into Irish!

    Ad yeah… also had some issues when I made a OS switch from windows at home. Takes a bit to find your new workflows and getting cozy with your new OS.

    I still haven’t given Steam study software a try, but damn I want to based on all your recommendations.

    • I’d try Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, Ithya: Magic Studies and Chill With You Lo-Fi Story in waves and not altogether. There’s probably a whole other bunch of software out there on Steam that’s similar but different, but these are the only ones I’ve managed to try fully.

      The software on Linux is a bit buggy, the sounds on my machine go f-ways when I run Chill With You Lo-Fi Story, but only switched today so it’s possible it’s a me-issue.

      Also the free route is still an option if you’re okay with using just youtube videos, the Lofi Girl channel has a pomodoro lofi video that I used to use before getting into the software side. I bought a bunch of these knowing I could just get free pomodoro tools elsewhere because I wanted the extra comfort/coziness that the games/apps provide.

      Like for instance, this Lo-Fi Story game has the worst set of tools for studying compared to the other 2, but I’m still using it more because of the plot built into the game. And I guess the gated unlocks also keeps me going.

      There was a Black Friday sale on not too long ago which is why I picked up the latest one, but the Winter Sale should be on soon if you’d rather wait to buy them then. They’re quite cheap at around 7 euro each (roughly) when on sale.
