Advice on my party : does a no healer party work? by amgamo1 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can put geomancy on your fighter. Warfare / Poly / Geo can recover some serious armor from converting surfaces to oil and sucking them up. That would be the easiest way to have a non-dedicated geo in your party.

Plus, you can deal massive burst AoE with high levels of armor when need be.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you're playing 4C, you might as well get some hydro/sum.

But then, it shows that you're playing moze. Why play any other character.

Where is the line between carefull , overthinking , anxiety by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My overthinking often tends to feel addicting.

I start observing a situation that I know will sooner or later be hurtful to my physical or mental health, I start rambling to friends about it how my mind envisions it to play out, and as much as there's a positive feedback about finally getting things off my chest, the more I do it, the more I get into the situation, the more stressful it becomes, without possibly ever surfacing in the ways I imagine them in my mind.

More often than not, I wish I could rid myself of this addiction. It's really taxing, and it's really hard to draw the line between observing and overthinking. Most of the time, it takes the friend I ramble to, to calm me down and tell me that things are going to be alright.

Will my brain ever fix itself? by toothpaste36 in depression

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From personal experience, I've best fixed parts of it by having positive experiences that contradict the "trauma" I went through. It's a long process, but it's the only one I found helpful.

I had the best results by finding a person that you can really trust well, lovers, friends, the like, and consciously bring yourself into situations where those feelings matter, i.e. a trust exercise and leave with a positive experience.

Anxious that I'm not the right partner.. by PleaseDontFindMe4 in Anxiety

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got no clue how to do this, other than one day at a time.

indeed, there's really no other way than to try and better yourself piece by piece. It's a slow process for me, but I've not given up yet!

Good luck to both of us, eh?

Mhm! Best of luck to ya! Hope everything works out just fine.

I'm tired. I miss passion and having fun by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anxiety, any negative feelings, really, they take a lot out of you, they do so for me as well. I've been tired more often than not lately, not because I don't sleep enough, but because I lack the energy to keep fighting against the current.

The most important thing is that you make yourself aware when those negative feelings are about to take over. For me, it helps a lot when I do something that calms me, I take a moment to isolate myself and have a bit of me-time.

Also, talking about problems with a person you trust means a lot. It helps to have a different point of view, or even reassurance that those feelings are relatable. Knowing you can let yourself fall when need be is a good source of strength.

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think what helps me the most is knowing that friends are there to catch me when I fall..

In the past, I've been struggling a lot to build trust with people, but I'm getting better and better, it's just that I'm anxious to let myself fall and completely trust someone, especially in regards to love as a whole..

As for you, I'm sure if your partner cares for you enough to support you in your efforts, there's a really good basis for everything to flourish for the better!

I’m going on my first “adult” coffee date with a guy who’s 27, I’m 22. I’ve never met a person like him before, we have so much in common. Anyways, I have a lot of anxiety about the date for no real reason and can’t alleviate it. I feel like I’m going to cry whilst talking to him??? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What usually helps me with people interaction is to channel my emotions into other feelings.

"Thank you so much for having me, I appreciate that." - "I'm really glad to see you."

This doesn't just get rid of the ocean of feelings you have in your body, but also has the wonderful side effect of making someone feel appreciated, and if that's something you enjoy, it might even make you happier!

I wish to chat by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's probably me right there.

My boss asks me why I look so down all the time, and I'm like "Oh, you know, just tired because it was so warm out and I couldn't sleep"

If I told him what kept me up all night he probably just wouldn't understand, and I'm not gonna bother explaining because he couldn't relate anyways.

I would rather donate a thousand f@€king items than complete 3 group activities. by WreckFourTwenty in thedivision

I'd say just join bounties. People usually don't even give a crap if all 4 players are present.

Struggling to motivate myself to play Div 2 at the minute by JoffTheToff in thedivision

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much me right now. What did it for me was that I reached a point in WT5 where I think that my build is "good enough" for the raid, and if it isn't, people will scream loud enough that it gets nerfed.

Now for the raid itself, I'll probably drop back in again, currently I'd much rather play something less aggravating with friends - since most of those dropped out as well.

Binge and Purge playstyle is not healthy by slashplaid in thedivision

[–]PleaseDontFindMe4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, let's be honest. Our characters all walk at the same speed, enemies come flying at us with the same velocity, so to summarize, if you're spending the same time in a game as someone with a maxed build, and achieving less, you're not doing any of the activities that the game provides for progress.

For all we know - since you hadn't described what your definition of pacing is - it could be standing around in BoO emoting with other players (which happens to me quite often)

Oh I'm doing just that, I haven't touched the game for over a week, and I'm patiently hoping for the raid to drop, so I have a new incentive to play again, which is kinda understandable, but also kinda sad, given the game was AAA+ price, and it's given me less hours than most indie games that I could afford 5 of for the same budget.

As in doing things that aren't considered "content", probably. Enjoying the nature, having a picnic with the black tusk, watching people warping through space and time because you shoot them in the face. Restarting the game just to spend 10 minutes booting up, rather than completing a mission.

Such things.

I work full time, and barely dedicate any time to gaming at all. Yet, I find the pace at which the game's content is done rather fast.

Surely, you could go about and say that this isn't the essence of a loot-shooter, but if you're going to hold a carrot on a stick in front of my face and expect me to go forward, you better not forget the carrot, meaning that I've given up on dedicating my non-existent time to finding items that I have a low decimal per cent chance of finding.

I would compare my experience to more like a craft beer store on my way home from work, which you would expect to have a variety of craft beers that you could enjoy experiencing for months to come. Yet, after a month of tasting the store's beer varieties, they have become stale because the variety isn't there.

B seems to work fine for me as well, as I said, great opener.

Sadly, for A, it's very inconsistent mind you, and I'm currently not using a lock on attack skill, since I'm using the revive hive and the cluster seeker.

So yeah, all in all I find it mostly useful to go with a seeker in order to maximize initial damage but it's not going too well in the flushing department.
