Remap those rotation controls and lose your mind to art sorting

Getting sucked into what people are unironically calling "choreslop" is a personal low, but sorting scattered jigsaw pieces on a virtual gallery floor grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go. What saved me from throwing my mouse out the window was immediately remapping the god-awful default controls—because using E to pick up and R to rotate is actual developer violence. Once I had rotation bound to the scroll wheel and disabled that hand-holding color outline helper, the flow state kicked in. Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery feeds this weird, brain-melting hyper-focus where you start off totally lost but end up recognizing a Lautrec or a Degas just by the brushstrokes on a stray corner chunk. Granted, staring at Mondrian’s slightly different shades of red for forty minutes straight made me want to pull my teeth out, especially with the same classical music tracks looping in my ears until I went numb. But then you realize you can upload your own absurd custom images to rebuild the entire museum, and suddenly the cycle starts all over again. It's a short, cheap, wonderfully monotonous little trap that respects my time a hell of a lot more than most triple-A releases this year.
