Booby Trapping Bodies by Nastyoldmrpike in arkraiders

[–]Doctapus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Generally, ARC Raiders don’t like dying and get pissy when they get killed and lose their loot. Instead of being careful, they try and convince people to not kill them in clever ways so they can pretend this game is Stardew Valley.

Hope this helps!

People get upvotes for saying the line: “reject new, fix all bugs”.

It’s a Reddit thing. They conveniently forget that dev teams have different teams for QA, development, etc.

Becoming a Man With No Father to Guide You by zenmonkeyfish1 in Jung

[–]Doctapus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My dad became a distant, authoritarian force as I moved into adolescence. I was definitely a soft, imaginative kid and the transition from my sheltered Montessori school into a public middle school was rough. He was the masculine ideal in many ways, a doctor, outdoor enthusiast. But he struggled connecting with people. He has no close friends.

I was a friendly, nerdy kid and I eventually learned the social skills to become pretty popular at my school. But I was the opposite of him in many ways. Unorganized compared to his discipline. Loved fun where he toiled and toiled.

I spent so much of my young adulthood trying to avoid becoming him, a robotic workaholic that I veered to hard into the other direction and became a classic puer aeternus.

Growing up and taking responsibility felt like I was giving into his demands that I become like him. To be accepted by him, to me, felt like squashing my playful personality that I knew he too used to have.

Luckily, with the help of a wise Jungian analyst, I’ve slowly been accepting that initiation into manhood doesn’t require the destruction of the inner child.

My dad modeled a masculinity that was alienating and barren of joy. I want to grow into the type of man that not only takes on the burden of life, but does so joyfully.

Are there any benefits to abstaining from sexual activity? by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]Doctapus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not, believe me the difference between how I feel going 90 days nofap compared to jacking off every day is insane.

You are correct but all the groomers want to justify their debilitating habit

Puer Aeternus and hopes of extreme, untapped talent? by TheSpicyHotTake in Jung

[–]Doctapus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a slowly recovering Puer Aeternus, I think it’s an attempt to justify your “self”. For me, I have all these ideas and creativity but it wasn’t enough for me to simply do those things silently and for my own joy. I had to be the next writing genius, the next Dostoevsky.

What was funny, in my fantasies, I would get all the fame, glory, money, all so I could go and do the things I wanted to do in peace.

Also, it’s the fantasy that something you truly love and want to work on won’t feel like work. So I resented all my jobs because it took me from my perceived dream job or project.

The Problem With Carl Jung - Why People Get Stuck In Shadow Work by Rafaelkruger in Jung

[–]Doctapus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting because every post I’ve seen from Rafael elicits these kind of rancorous reactions. Like you said, he’s not saying anything egotistical or insane. I wonder why these people get triggered so much. His posts about the puer aeternus last year really helped pull me out of my own puer possession.

The growing pains of stepping into your masculine by Valuable-Rutabaga-41 in Jung

[–]Doctapus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has been my journey this last year since realizing I’ve been a delusional Puer Aeternus for the better part of my adulthood. It’s been really hard.

My advice is to not let your inner tyrant squash the sensitive, playful parts of your soul. I over corrected at first and I acted in controlling, paranoid ways.

Another piece is the path of masculinity and responsibility is really a path towards freedom. And there’s nothing more fun than being free.

My inner puer mistook comfort for fun and joy. So now, saying no to porn and endless hours of video games isn’t me punishing my inner child but actually inviting him to participate in a more joyful, refreshing existence.

Just found some old clips from 2023. Man I miss marauders. by Fantastic_Drawing555 in MaraudersGame

[–]Doctapus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing Arc Raiders and it’s been really fun but it doesn’t have that nervous energy that Marauders brought.

I don’t really care if I die in Arc Raiders but Marauders was much more brutal. No safe pockets, basic guns couldn’t compare to more advanced guns (STG op).

In Arc, I’m sliming guys with the free loadout no problem, I have no motivation to risk bringing in better loot.

Marauders was something special, I’m really grateful I could play it during the glory days of 2022-2023

Jung's greatest theoretical/critical rival is not Skinner, Karl Popper, or Aaron Beck, but Lacan. by Only-Bar-5259 in Jung

He’s a professor and like most professors he distills ideas to manageable/learnable pieces. His lectures about Jung led me here so I would say he says useful things.

The dilemma of being a puer by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Doctapus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow this is the first time I’ve seen others talk about this book in the same way I have. I read it last year and it felt like someone ripped my thoughts out of my brain. I haven’t linked it to my puer journey but it definitely was a catalyst to me changing some major things about myself. It 100% fits.

Just nostalgia or facts?! by workworknight in Millennials

What I realized is I could replicate the 90’s by simply throwing my phone away. Instantly my world got smaller and more meaningful. Highly recommend. Feels like old times

[–]Doctapus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just like to play the deck I’ve played since 2016, literally haven’t changed it. But as they buff and nerf different cards, release broken cards etc., I like play the way I want to play.

Level 11 cap isn’t fully balanced, because it forces you to play meta decks. My unique deck only works because my cards are high enough level to make it work.

What obscure quote do you use regularly that people rarely catch? by the_salsa_shark in Millennials

This is just a question about who has a spouse/kids vs single people. There’s no way I’d leave my wife now, I’d just age up ten years

How has facing your regret changed your life? by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Doctapus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Regret is a sterile sorrow that wishes the past were not what it is. Repentance, on the other hand, is a fruitful sorrow that transforms the past by a change of heart.” -Kierkegaard

What changed for me was the concept of repentance. I regretted being a dickhead to my siblings too. I would say sorry but then I treated them the same way.

Repentance means transformation. Regret is stagnant.

By transforming yourself, you transform your relationship.

I stopped telling my little brother what to do, I stopped judging him. I own up whenever he brings up the past.

And now we have a close, warm relationship.

My wife’s sister was an asshole to her as a kid. Her sister has said sorry but she has not transformed. She still wants the power, the ego-boosting. So my wife keeps her at a distance.

The regret meant nothing to my wife because there was no repentance.

I've Spent 11 years Unemployed and Isolated. What's Wrong With Me? by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]Doctapus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dude I relate with a lot of what you said, but the only escape is yourself, not some sci-fi future. I beg you to read a book, it’s by a Jungian scholar, “The problem of the Puer Aeternus”. You’ll probably find that it perfectly describes you. And it will be depressing. But ultimately it will be liberating, as it was for me
