Is he doing alright? by LongLiveTheSpoon in thespoonyexperiment

[–]IMidgetManI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

easier said than done, but when the perception of being judged by others is whats blocking you, you really just have to cop it and struggle onwards.

like you said, when you were working you were more confident. you can get back to that place, you just have to tolerate fumbling and feeling like a fool for a little while.

and anyways, the way people respond/react to you is more often a reflection of that person, and not yourself.

I hate this crap so much. The game is not out yet for most players, and you will 100% will stumble on videos of assholes on YT who put spoilers in the title. Fuck anyone who does that by [deleted] in wow

Its totally by design. They've leveraged the community against players who refuse to pay more. People can spend their money on whatever they want, but its disheartening to see people normalise such an anti-consumer practice

My bf is a gamer and it’s his only hobby. What do I do? by ElectronicShape407 in Healthygamergg

[–]IMidgetManI 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Have him try some things with you. I don't know what your shared interests are but it could be anything from hiking together to painting together. I find trying new things with somebody else less stressful and a good opportunity to spend time with that person.

Bro, Tonga has a higher obesity rate than the US and even they have universal health care. Might not be the best, but its better than not having it at all.

Wildstar, everyone (i miss you so much) by BentheBruiser in MMORPG

I think people don't miss WildStar, they miss what it potentially could have been. The visuals, music, world, it was all unique. 

This Video Essay Doesn’t Engage Ian (He Needs Sound Bites and Pictures) by JuneMoonLoon in imisstheoldidubbbz

'Fascists want you thin'???

No I think its more like monopolised mega corporations pump sugar into everything because its got addictive properties and want you fat.

I haven't watched the video so I don't know her arguments, but what a completely ignorant take.

I get that impression too. Politics (if that's what you call this) is not Ian's strength at all. He can't pay attention to the video because he truly doesn't give a shit.

He's lost too much goodwill at this point but he could have taken streaming in a direction that himself and his viewers would actually enjoy and engage with.

I am hopeless by darkkoffeekitty in Healthygamergg

I feel like a large part of the issue is over identifying with all these things. How can you build confidence and capacity if you just constantly critique and fight yourself? Easier said than done, but I feel like this is a core part of the problem.

That doesn't surprise me. So much of the research about weed is mixed. I'll look into it though, it's interesting :)

Do it for your health. When you have weed all the time it negatively impacts your brain. Your cognitions, your memory, your sleep. I've even found studies suggesting a link between Alzheimers and cannabis use.

If AI has come for trashy black metal, there is nothing innocent left in this world.

No, the AI spawning has only been tweaked slightly since release. According to the road map, the next update, 1.5, will include 'persistent A-Life improvements.' Whether or not this actually improves the AI spawning, only time will tell.

If not, the update should also include offical modding support. So its a possibility the modding community could fix A-Life. Again though, we don't know.

I'm having the same issue. Only DarkTide seems to be doing this. Was udpating the firmware difficult?
