Sometimes we play SS13 not in the best mood and it makes us look at the role list and go: Not that one, not that one, not that one.
BUT....
What is that role you play to forget and relax of your worries?
For me it can be botanist or chaplain or barkeep.
Botanist since you can grow almost anything get funny results and failure ain't too bad.
Chaplain cause it's the RP role that is the most isolated and thus as long as I am not too active it's fairly relaxing and checking in with the station.
Barkeep since everyone comes to you for drinks and most of the time you can make something silly on the side for people who want to try, but Triple C mostly served.
Anyway what do you like to play and do to lower that bad mood?

For me, if I really have the itch to play but not the motivation to interact quite as much as I would on a busy doctor round, I go for mining! It gives me the chance to still shoot the shit on the radio, but zone out in a mining pod providing some goodies for the station.

Either staffie or bartender.
I haven't had the chance to play bartender as much recently, but I know on 3 playing either of those roles will allow me to have some great fun roleplaying with other people. It's nice to follow people around or hang out in the bar without the responsibilities of other roles.

Janitor. I can scrub the floors in maintenance with an empty head, just listening to the radio, and then get inevitably pulled into Station Drama as soon as I step out and feel like engaging with it.

Genetics, when I first started playing SS13 genetics was my first main career path, its nice plenty of activity and low interaction or urgency, nothing and no one depends on you but you can still make a difference to the shift.

Security Assistant for the best seat in watching the stations demise while not being expected to do anything.

I like to stuff ???? in the enzymatic reclaimer as a staffie and spend the rest of the round making incomprehensible horse sounds.
