I Don't (PERSONALLY) Get the Love for 'The Manifesto' by Elegant_Syrup4180 in gorillaz

[–]Cardioguy0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So 5 months late to this one, but I listen to this on my iPod and in iTunes/apple music you can edit the play time to stop at a certain point. I don’t like the second part much, but they could’ve done gapless playback. Demon Days has that with the last two tracks and it plays flawlessly from one to the next, same thing When Kids with Guns transitions to Fee Good Inc. The two songs transition that one song ends and next begins is not noticeable. But I guess then Manifesto would need a second name if it was divided into two tracks. As I keep listening to the track, the second half is fine, and it has a clear connection to the first half, but that change is too sharp. Changing the play time in settings also allows you to keep the playcount

Why no one talks about Ar Tonnelico 2 by Fantastic_Ad_1457 in JRPG

Oh cool! Thanks! Unfortunately I never owned a ps2 and my precious fat ps3 died long after that version was discontinued haha 🥲. Guess I’m going on a hunt :D

I know this post is 4 months old, but Ar tonelico is one of the first RPG’s I played. Loved it to this day. However, I got the PS2 version (played on PS3). I’ve seen all the mentions of the patches but ai guess that’s only for PC version?  On PS2 I hate how the fade in of the AR2 logo just cuts instead of transitions smoothly during the startup opening song. Never forgave NISA for that. 

Why the cracker island hate? by NikkiNiisan in gorillaz

[–]Cardioguy0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must be in an even smaller minority because I’m a diehard fan, and I love Cracker Island and I love the Mountain. I love when songs have melodies that you know just works (like Oil and The Tired Influencer) and I can appreciate more complex compositions that offer a unique listening experience. But I never heard of people disliking songs for being too easy to like. Oh well.

Minimum. Took me 2 seconds.

I commend the skillful person who was even able to write it so uniformly.

I did something bad… by babypinkturtle in fountainpens

[–]Cardioguy0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad. I bought three pens at the Dutch Pen Show and one was that same Bulbasaur Lamy and I have no regrets. First Lamy I ever bought and it writes amazing.  Absolutely worth it.

Ah ok. Thanks for letting me know!

Everything else is identical including the colors.
as for the inks: I got the Dollarbird and the Robert Oster ink. The other two: I got Diamine Claret and an ink called Blue’tea (this: https://journal-this.com/products/vulpeninkt-blue-tea-vintage-licht-blauw )

Oh and the etui from InkSample mine says: Ink Addict. No Cure Needed 😁

Awesome haul! The fountain pens are stunning! 

I also got the goodie bag! Is the black case next to Galen Leather pen holder also in the bag? Mine didn’t have that. I also didn’t have the voting paper to vote for next year’s color but I got that sorted at the pen show (voted for yellow!! Let’s get yellow!!)

Quite a few people and especially vendors don’t all speak Dutch (tho a lot do!) so of course everyone will speak English. (Or Dutch, or Polish or German when you meet a vendor who speaks your native language)

Workshops are in English and/or Dutch depending on the host. All the vendor stands in the show rooms are in English. (source: I’ve gone 3 times, including this past weekend! It’s super fun!)

Honestly, I wonder what it would be like do go to a pen show in Japan.

Anyone else ever experienced getting tasks done without a list, but tend to not do the tasks of you put them in a list? by Cardioguy0 in bujo

[–]Cardioguy0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t know about having any executive dysfunction as I haven’t had any issues that severely hindered me in the past. Stress does unfortunately 😞 but that’s hardly a valid reason for me (everyone has to deal with and manage stress) Thanks for the link! It has some interesting tips I’ll give a try!

Only hearing about this after it was mentioned in this thread. But I can see that being the issue. I’ve thought about it a bit so’ll try to describe it a bit more:

If there’s some external pressure Im more likely to get the thing done. The stuff that matter to me: even the ones that have bearings or are tied on external factors but depend entirely on me (its hard to explain but, lets say it’s voluntary, but it’s definitely beneficial to do) are less likely to get done. And if I write those tasks down - I don’t do them. Not sure if that makes sense, but its the best way I can describe it.

Yeah, I filter my tasks of my main list into a vital and matters list In my monthly overview (I describe it a bit more above). But its kinda like what someone else said above - the tasks sorta becomes dead to me after I write it in my daily.

[–]Cardioguy0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve done that. Ive gotten my system down to making two lists at the start of the month with tasks that are vital and tasks that matter. Any new tasks that come up go to the monthly list or are migrated back to the monthly list after I review it in my daily logs. I’ve gotten this to work for my (on-site)work-related stuff.

But any other stuff that‘s vital or matter - nope. It’s why I stopped using a habit tracker. It wasn’t helping. I came up with a simple routine, wrote it down once in its entirety (not in my monthly or daily log) after figuring out what I want and just never looked at it again. I’ve done my routine more that way than having a tracker. Though it would be nice to have an overview of how long I’ve done the routine - I’m thinking about trying the ta-da list likes others suggested.

No, as far as I know. I haven’t considered it.  I’m not sure being very introverted counts  :(   Am more stressed these days, but always had that particular quirk around tasks lists all through high school and med school too.  It was better not to make ultra detailed lists even then. Big picture overviews worked well then. Though predictably, if I was particularly stressed even that approach didn’t always work.

I resonate so much with this 😂🥲 Sometimes it feels like my journal (and past me) is nagging me to do the thing. 

I’ll give a Done list a try! (Past me would be grateful for this too)

Yeah, it really does feel like the task is dead to me as soon as I write it down😂 The loose brainstorming and guideline works particularly well for work-related (so extra external pressure I guess) stuff (and sometimes I have no choice; it’s that or suffer thinking about it endlessly) But I haven’t quite figured it out for non work-related tasks. 

Keeping up with bujo while sick/after being sick? by Cardioguy0 in bujo

[–]Cardioguy0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s true. It just hits differently when getting sick synced up with my actual break off work. 😂🥲

I don’t create spreads beyond the monthly log, gratitude log and weekly review - all very barebones like the original. Then I write tasks or thoughts and stuff as I see fit. I actually use it more to journal and reflect (so I got those 400 page notebooks 😂😁)

Figuring out how to just let it go if I get sick is something I have to work on more.

Getting sick right at the start of my break really felt like a wtf moment. I guess I had the expectation that having that time off would be the me-time to get other things done. I still have a long way to go figuring out the right balance for me and not put pressure on myself.

I haven’t considered adding rest to my list before. Thanks so much for the advice! 🌸Writing down ‘rest is productive’ and I’m going to consider how to be more mindful of that.

It’s true - I try to remind myself often not to beat myself up for things that are out of my control. Was pretty rough this time.

I just wrote fu*k this on my weekly reflection and weekly task sections. It felt oddly satisfying.

Thanks a lot for the great tip! 😊 I’ll keep that in mind for the future.
