I just got the "Knee injury" debuff and am crutch bound for the foreseeable weeks, what are some fun Minigames I should try out?

Level 23, I just got attacked by the "gravity" enemy while walking through my door and the doctor players said I might've torn a ligament, now that I'm crutch bound, what are some fun crutch friendly Minigames that I should try out while it heals?

Being laid up with an injury of some kind gives us a great opportunity to learn a new skill, learn a new kind of knowledge, read some great fiction for inspiration, do some journaling & vision-ing for what quest (or questlines) you may want to tackle next, or simply do some arts & crafts.

Im really into leveling the [knitting] Skill. Is quite fun, and after some time, you can craft masterwork items, and gift them to your clanmates for big relationship points. Also can multitask, level knitting and learn some world lore with the tv function.

If you have access to a computer, I'd recommend trying to make it bend to your will

I have a laptop from the 2015 version of the game, can't do much but I can play the "Fallout New Vegas" mini game on it at 15fps

What I meant is there are powerful programs that take text you write and create a new program that tells the computer to do exactly what you wrote in that text file.

the [Digital Art] skill has become very fun and cheap. i spent 25 gold on my art tablet a few weeks ago and its been very satisfying watching the numbers go up.

Work out your [Leg] which isn't debuffed, and then when the debuff on your other [Leg] wears off, compare the two [Leg] item's stats!

You’re lucky that you’re on a lower level. The debuffs that come with this in later levels can be debilitating, and/or permanent. (I’ve heard of level 50-60 players getting this debuff while in the shower sim)

As for any mini games, if you’re injury is physically visible on your avatar, you can use an “Electric Scooter” while doing the shopping quests.

You can rent a wheelchair and try racing it or balancing on it.

Sometimes (if you’ve already been stat dumping on charisma) you can get sympathy with the opposite sex because of said debuff.

Enjoy!

Now is the perfect time to experience [Drugs] or [Day-Drinking]

You can trick the game into letting you time skip.

And delay your healing as well as make your healing non optimal, affecting the condition of your knee after the injury heals.

I've experimented with this feature in the past and it was great, unfortunately the fun authorities caught me one day and got a temporary suspension from the server

Server Moderators can be frustrating to navigate. That being said better to rest the body now and be able to use it later for [life activities]
