Yeah, bull sessions were (and still are) part of my experience. I'm a similar age, and had a similar university experience.
Sadly, I didn't get a chance to watch Three's Company.
you only get one body so may as well look after it
That's a really good way of putting it.
this is the only thing I’ve found that allows me to escape my mind and be in the moment
That's what I really like about snowboarding and inline skating - if I'm not focusing on the activity, I take a tumble, so I have to pay attention. I don't know if either of those are something you'd enjoy, but maybe give them a shot?
I'm really sorry that's how things ended up for you. Best of luck.
You're not wrong.
Drivers are so used to speeding, that consequences feel unfair. Just drive at it below the limit and there's no problem.
I have a sedentary job as a software developer so it’s good to be more active.
...
would you continue this hobby even though it’s wrecking my hands
As a software developer who also has fucked up hands, no. This is your meal ticket. Don't mess with it. Being depressed with a job is way better than being depressed without a job and a disability.
I've actively avoided activities that use my hands because I don't want to mess them up more. It sucks, but that's where we're at.
I don't know what activity to recommend. I do leg-centric stuff: swimming, inline skating, snowboarding, and soccer. I don't know if those would be good for you.
Edit: sorry. That came across as hostile. My hand situation is managed, but it still gets to me. I'm trying to say that you should take care of yourself and your hands. The short-term gain of an activity that messes you up isn't worth it.
Exercise feels great, and I hope you find something that works for your mind and your body.
If that isn't credible enough for you, a massive uniboob containing a tiny gnome sorcerer able to slay at range. Basically a lil green skinned tiddy tank.

where does the gnome go?
Yeah, I'd like to use the network, but the reviews are pretty bad. That and the lack of UWB makes it seem pretty weak.
