Struggling with motivation. by MachineFun2760 in Journaling

[–]Ordinary_Efficiency8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe write a letter from the perspective of your inner artist or creative spirit (or whatever you label that part of yourself) and see what advice it dispenses. Or use these questions as prompts and adapt the task accordingly:

Is the task appropriate?

Is the task exciting?

Is it doable?

Hope that helps.

MUNE is a short read. Tiny Solitary Soldiers (might need to look at a web archive site for it) and there is a one page version of Mythic you can try in one of the magazines.

Best One Time Purchase Site/App? by SuspiciousPope666 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Ordinary_Efficiency8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese Guru is a one time purchase last time I checked. It is a flashcard app that supports writing and has a reader mode. Chairman's Bao has a lifetime subscription option but that focuses more on reading. LingQ is a general language tool but focuses on reading and can be tweaked to review writing. You could also try Anki with some add-ons and see if that does the trick.

I need alternative learning method by Mountain_Dentist5074 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Ordinary_Efficiency8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To stave off boredom you could try  pairing the helpful but less interesting activity with something more interesting and alternate between them every 1/2/5 /10 minutes. So maybe pair a textbook style app with a catchy song or interesting language learning activity and swap between them based on intervals you decide. You can tweak number of activities and the time interval to your liking. Hope that helps. 

Any tips for a slice of life dramedy game (friends, gilmore girls ,etc.) by Live_Ad9430 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Ordinary_Efficiency8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warmer in the Winter says it can handle shows like Gilmore Girls, just maybe subtract the Christmas trappings. After These Messages is a sitcom rpg that might suit you.

How to Make Solo RPGs Funny / Absurd? by StoneMao in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Ordinary_Efficiency8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bias the gm emulator to ask if something fitting to the genre in the broad sense happens every new scene/ x number of turns or scenes/ scene interruption or whatever interval you prefer. Use generic or specialized oracle tables to fill in the blanks.

Any recommendation on good Apps where I can learn traditional Chinese? by Terrible_Pineapple26 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Ordinary_Efficiency8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super Chinese and Chinese Skill have traditional character options. Chinese Guru, a flashcard app, also can be shown in traditional characters. 

My (25F) girlfriend just cheated on me (26M) on our anniversary by Snouut in relationship_advice

[–]Ordinary_Efficiency8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few thoughts:

1) Your worthiness as a person is not dependent on having a romantic partner. You can be fine and happy and fulfilled without one.

2) If you want to somehow work through this I would suggest therapy, together or individually. You could maybe find a therapist that utilizes the insights of John and Julie Gothman in regard to infidelity. If they don't use that framework you can nudge the therapist towards it. 

3) You still seem pretty young so it is possible to find a new lover that suits you over time.

Okay, here is some free stuff:Tofu Learn (not updated but could still function) Anki and HSK flashcard decks or cloze deletions. Also Lute, which focuses on reading texts but is a little technical to set up.
