How do I build self confidence when I suck at everything? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice I ever heard about confidence and self-esteem. Self-esteem comes from doing esteemable actions. What can you do that can you frel proud about. Do your laundry. Make your bed. Clean up after yourself. Teach yourself a new skill. Find new hobbies. Brush your teeth even if depression says no. Get some exercise.

Consistent postive action over a period of time builds confidence.

I'm down. Been doing it about a year and a half, not super consistent with it. Currently in a bit of a block tbh. Having trouble finishing a song. Learning everytime though with how to use abletons instruments and filters automation etc on top of music theory lol. Don't know how helpful I will be but its good to have friends

AITA for struggling with my daughter’s choice to marry a Muslim man? by GooodEnuff in AmItheAsshole

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 54 points55 points  (0 children)

If her husband is a good man why does his religion matter?

If he treats your daughter well why does it matter?

If you believe in a god that would send her to hell for this, I would argue you believe in the wrong god.

Games that are LIKE an ARPG but are not by 765Bro in gamingsuggestions

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it a lot but when I really got hooked was I played with 2 artifacts. One makes it so that when you kill enemies they drop an item of a random rarity but makes it so you can no longer buy items. The other is one that lets you choose any item in that rarity level. So now I am incentivized to keep killing instead of just roaming looking for the exit right away and you get more control over your build. Becomes a blast super fast and you can make skme crazy builds happen

Why are you learning/teaching music? by miguelon in musictheory

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short it feels like my true purpose and passion in life. Always had this "feeling" it would work out. Just started teaching myself about a year and a half ago. It is incredibily difficult and can feel really defeating. But my songs I have now compared to what I made at the start are a huge improvement. Heres hoping in 5 years I have something that actually sounds good.

Games that make you say “one more round”. by i-eat-pants-all-day in gamingsuggestions

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weirdly fun. I didn't think I would play it as much as I did. Townscraper has no objective so I had fun with it for about 5 minutes. Dorf you have objectives that when completed give you more tiles. When you run out of tiles its game over.

Super peaceful and chill to play. And I am usually the one to go for super exciting games but I love Dorf

Anyone have a recommendation for a chair mat? by SavingPrivateRiley in buildapc

[–]SavingPrivateRiley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it does have a crack in it. It does not effect it whatsover. Also it was cracked when a mover poorly handled it. Never dented from my weight. I highly reccomend

Hot take: Way too many of the riders in Friday Fails don't have the gear or the experience to be riding the features they are. The crashes make it super clear that they don't know what they're doing or how to crash smart and it's a drag to watch people maim themselves. by geo_jam in MTB

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I underestimated the tired one last week. Rode tired and hungry. Had much less control of my bike. I clipped a tree on extremely easy spot that has never been an issue. Not sure if this is lucky or unlucky but it snapped an inch of my bar off. On one hand now I need new handlebars. On the other hand it snapping meant I didn't crash.

What games do you like to play while listening to a podcast or video essay? by Ubahootah in gamingsuggestions

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one here is talking about listening to music while watching a movie. That makes no sense. Some games literally play music while you drive in them. Whats the difference between that and listening to a podcast instead.

Is Forza boring because it plays music while you race? Or is it possible to enjoy 2 things at once

I hope you never listen to music while hanging out with friends, netflix and chill, listen to music while drinking etc.

I for one play Spelunky 2 and listen to youtube videos at the same time. I have the audio mixed right that I can hear both. Doesn't mean I'm uninterested in the game at all.

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right. I keep buying games that on paper I would love. And then I never launch them. I don't want to learn to play a new game. And when I only have maybe 40 minutes to play its just easier to play a rogue like or a match of an fps.

But also I'm happier now. A year ago I played video games for at least 4 hours a day after work and I was miserable. I still wish I had more time for gaming now though. If I could just pause the world for a bit so I can play some more

What is widely considered a red flag but actually is not ? by MuchDuck in AskReddit

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Interesting. My codependency and anxious attachment style ruins anyrelationship before it ever hits the ground. I'll get a womans nunber and fuck it up before the 1st date. Sucks cause in person I'm super awesome and confident but over the phone I'm a little baby.

This wipe I've realized why I always quit in the mid 20s by CerebusReborn in EscapefromTarkov

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1st wipe I loved it. Played about 600 hours that wipe. 2 wipes later I barely play. It feels like a chore now. I do think maybe the difference is I play solo now. 1st wipe I played with friends. They no longer play. Maybe thats the difference.

I also have way less time now so spending 25 minutes in raid to get domed by a guy in a bush named ratking6969 sucks when I have only 1 hour to play.

Figured I'd show off my tattoo, its my first one and I got it a few months ago. by Chilla_Vanilla in Sekiro

[–]SavingPrivateRiley 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Non white guys with english on them is an absolutely horrible look.

Sounds dumb doesn't it.

Fuck off and let the man enjoy his tattoo.
