A great deal of thinking happens in Menzoberranzan, the drow are quite known for it. After all, paranoia does tend to induce a lot of thinking.

I'm suspicious of any elves in tunnels. Dwarves are a reasonable subterranean sort, though.

Funny how i can relate to this. When i still played Minecraft, i dug a monstrous basement with stone picks. This was something i could do without thinking, while actively contemplating other problems.

I would not describe it as elves speaking to me, though.

Doing repetitive physical labor has always helped me solve problems. Mowing the lawn or splitting wood or digging a hole is very meditative.

Cray was the first homelabber.

Dude indeed saw a lot of cray

Taking your mind away from the clutter of a complex task and doing something simple, physical, and tactile can really help break “writer’s block” and move you forward.

I have heard that there's no sound when you live underground.

I'm going with LSD

So how's that tiktok tunnel gal doing?

I can see it, though - exercise can be great for thinking, paradoxically (it's a paradox because many people exercise to NOT think).
