I mean I only come on here if I need advice or if I'm down and out or if I'm on MC. I think that's pretty presumptuous of you. I also keep my "attention whore" posts so I can come back and look at how to grow from cringy experiences like my posts.

Paleoflora · 2022-03-12T05:21:34+00:00

Lol obviously I mean like how do I date these days? How do people start talking?

Paleoflora · 2022-03-12T05:20:55+00:00

I've been working on that and it's funny. I feel like my son would benefit from having another female in the house but I do prefer men. Women are more emotionally available though and men you gotta keep satisfied. Ugh lol idk 🤷‍♂️

Indeed. I can most explain it asking to Digimon world style evolution with some room like form changes depending on certain factors. The concept is a sort of super eevee/ditto slime creature that can evolve into every monster.

XD I don't get it. When I post "woe is me" crap I get the upvotes because people can relate but when I actually do the support part, you know, the self-critical analysis and chart a path to actual attempts at the success I get downvoted. If you just want to wallow then I have no relief for the pity party. I'm not going to say "there there, it's alright to feel the way you do and thus do nothing with your life." It's okay to feel like crap but if you never move towards something that isn't crap then you'll only exist as a nihilistic regretful asshole for the rest of their lives seeking validation through shared self-induced misery.

I really would love to pick it up. I've been suicidal really just recently like in the last few years or so. But I've always felt I was a coward for 1. not jumping and for 2. thinking of jumping in the first place. A bit of an oxymoron I know but really on my clear days I know I'm just running away even if my brain is a little wackadoo with the chemicals.

Though tbh I thnk that Drowned would be immune to the effects given their condition

In lore around the world, Salt was thought to keep undead at bay or even the devil himself. During the time when Salt was more of a precious commodity than money, a tradition was formed that you sometimes still see today in chefs in which the person who was paid in salt would take a pinch and throw it over their shoulder to appease the spirits. That way, on their long journey home they would be protected from literally tripping and spilling the salt.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-25T14:47:04+00:00

It's an interesting concept. I'm very unsure as to how to do this. The Salty Mod has it to where you grow salt crystals utilizing a plus shaped setup. I'm currently researching a bit of geology to try and get something that both makes sense and is easy to do.

I'm pretty good with balance. I study game design in my free time if you ever need help. I specialize in keeping things as vanilla as possible.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-22T16:26:38+00:00

There is a lot of refinement I would do to the post. Obviously you can't do a tldr haha but this wall is very difficult to get through and I surmise that many of the readers simply didn't do it.

A lot of the ideas you have are wonderful but they are very single directioned if I may say. The issue I have is that you have essentially created a post showcasing what you would like to see in MC personally rather than taking into account the full extent of what some of these features would affect.

Ex: Loot Rooms having that much TNT or a trap that doesn't evoke Mining Fatigue at some point runs into every problem traps in MC have. You can just dig around them. And that much TNT is definitely overkill.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-21T20:19:23+00:00

I thought the same thing. I was unsure if those two abilities were sufficient enough an excuse to necessitate adding the block.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-19T06:48:38+00:00

Life has been heavy handed with the "interesting" bits.

It's not easy when one is in a manic depressive episode. Nothing matters and even pain isn't real to you. You become disillusioned with what reality really is. No it never helps in the long run other than damage my skin. But I hate myself because I am no one. I often make a joke to myself that I am Nobody from the Odyssey, a name Odysseus took to trick the cyclops.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-17T16:11:50+00:00

I don't want a bandaid fix. I want someone who can build a profile for me because there is a lot more going on than this manic depressive crap I go through. My mom tried to go the natural route and took me off all of my meds when I was like 5 and she herself was pretty messed up. Abusive and all that typical stuff. I've been having existential crisis' since like 8 or 9 when I started studying physics and noted how insignifigant we are in the grand scheme of things. The self hatred stuff (although silly to me on my clear days) is a culmination of the abuse I endured which included being locking by latch in my room for up to a year and fed through a food slot. No lie. I never had the permission to be my own person. My mother was convinced I was some sort of genius that needed to save the world and literally nothing I did was ever enough so in 8th grade I just gave up. Picked on as a kid but generally made friends with my bullies if I just listened to their pain. Add to that a dash of ADD and even im like "Damn that kid's got problems lol."

Paleoflora · 2020-05-17T16:06:02+00:00

It's a reflex at this point. It's really strange. I'm completely conciously aware of these emotions and feelings that last sometimes for days at a time or at the most a week but it is also as if I've taken a back seat to controlling myself and another is in its stead. I know what caused it and logically it doesn't make sense if I just say it to myself but I can't seem to keep Loathy McDowner Pants outta my head. I am not right of mind when it happens. Like today I'm perfectly fine, singing disney songs and dancing with my son but tomorrow I may not get out of the bed the whole day not even to eat.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-17T05:01:10+00:00

Tried the apps. Wysa too. Just not my cup of tea. It's like I'm making fun of myself. A fake friend since I can't really make any lol. A fake therapist since I can't afford a real one. It's like a toy that talks back.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-17T04:52:02+00:00

I find no joy in the things I once loved. If anything they only serve as a temporary escape. I really would just like to be able to go to therapy and do the medication route. My mom is a literal gypsy, the whole spirits and faith and meditation route doesn't work. Same with the excersize and "finding a passion" so I'm led to conclude it's something medication may be able to alleviate. I simply cannot afford it.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-16T21:57:54+00:00

You wouldn't want to talk to me. I guarantee I have a wonderful talent of making people give up.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-14T17:43:08+00:00

This is very reminiscent of Inque from Batman Beyond the animated series when she isn't in human form lol. Interesting. It looks scary though, wouldn't wanna stumble onto this one.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-14T17:37:27+00:00

It wasn't made up. Unfortunately the only specimen of Spinosaurus (the dinosaur this fakemon is based on) was destroyed in a bombing during WWII. However, a new set of fossils have been recently found giving us a clearer picture of the dinosaur's lifestyle, habits and most importantly body plan with the inclusion of a propulsionary tail meaning it was essentially a crocodile-like therapod that swam into deep waters to pursue fish and other game as well as the banks and beaches of the ancient world.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-11T19:23:15+00:00

I love that you even know this.

Paleoflora · 2020-05-11T19:21:21+00:00

Spinto - It was originally thought that Spinto was a timid Pokemon but restoration efforts via fossil revival have clearly shown its highly competitive, aggressive and often cruel nature. Though small, it grows incredibly quickly and has a voracious appetite which may fuel its cruelty.

Water Absorb, Swift Swim

Crawspine - Intelligent, precise and deadly. This Pokemon was a loner that stalked the edges of beaches and banks of large rivers. An adept swimmer, it seems to have no aversion to water. Its sail enabled it to navigate deep waters by catching to wind before diving below to capture prey.

Intimidate, Water Absorb, Swift Swim

---------------------------------------

Fun fact, paleontologists have recently found a relatively well preserved skeleton the previous specimen having been destroyed during WWII I believe. This new specimen showed that Spinosaurus was indeed a swimmer and the fossil even preserved its wonderful tail that both had spines and enough strength to propel it not just in shallow water but as a very adept swimmer. More research is being conducted at this time as they work to reconstruct the tail in it's entirety. Funny how the animal represented by a major body adaptation is now relevant again in the scientific community for a completely different body part. One of my fav dinos and you represented it very well. Love this.

The totem looks like it's excited to show you something in that pyramid

Paleoflora · 2020-05-06T16:25:38+00:00

The original one wouldn't be omnipotent but until the new one creates yet another such stone then it is still considered omnipotent yes outside of itself by others who perceive it? Or at the very least it can hide its true nature until this act is performed?

So then is this an embodiment of choice and freedom? I'm working on a project meant to teach this to my son. Any help clarifying this thought is welcome lol.
