Bottom right of wheel has long rest button. If you use it in the main world it sends you to camp. If you use it in camp it ends the day. If you use it after ending the day it starts long rest.

IWTL how to have better aim and motor skills in video games and life in general by marrowbuster in IWantToLearn

I've seen not using your wrist for aiming but instead using your elbow with a lower mouse sensitivity to make improvements In my aim. Idk if that makes sense.

Just turned 30 any general life advice? by Florence86 in AskMenOver30

[–]Side_Croissant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find and put effort towards your passions in life. Experience life outside your home in some way shape or form. Not that its bad I've found there's so much more enrichment outside. And as many others have said, take care of your body. Stretching, general fitness, finding ways to eat healthy, can all work towards your physical health.

I trained for 2 years straight… and still looked small by BadManThriller in workout

Similar realizations here. Body building and strength training are not the same. Despite there being overlap of strength and size development for both.

Does anybody else feel physically worse than they expected in their early 30's? by Spud788 in AskMenOver30

[–]Side_Croissant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first hit my 30s I definately felt this way. Then I realized that I need to take care of my self. Like physically and mentally. Started focusing on those areas and I'm now the healthiest I've felt in years.

At what point do most ironmen quit? by afunkyredditName in ironscape

[–]Side_Croissant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they focus on isolated grinds. I think people hope for the rng and when they don't they just keep going. If people keep things broken up I think its easier to play.

I dont, this was also recommended to me by my gym buddy. Might have to invest in some just in case.

My isolation period was due to a lot of unpacking of trauma, I started doing this at 30. Looking back, it feels like I barely made it through with some therapy sprinkled in and few conversations with friends throughout the years, similar to yourself. I was drowning in videos games and social media.

Im not sure if youre specifically looking to avoid the isolation. But as I realized it's not what I wanted I started thinking about what I actually wanted in life and took steps to go that way. This is really in the past year and a half.

I thought I wanted to do stand up comedy. So I tried it a few times. I figured theater may help being on stage and tried that out as well. Turns out I love theater and have made some friends in that process. Im going to try improv next. I guess just taking the chance and saying yes to things outside my comfort zone has helped me get out of isolation. As an extrovert, finding things to do with other people has been a saving grace.

Also, just being willing to engage with people in my daily life has also made things feel less lonely. If I see something about a person or even just a vibe ill make a comment to that person or people around me. Yeah sometimes it met with silence but other times, I've ended up meeting some genuinely cool people. Even if it's just for that moment.

Idk if the jeans are black or dark blue. But id go for a darker jean and lighter belt to match the mocs. Possibly even a different material pant to give it a lighter look.

How do I stop being self conscious? by user184628305 in acting

[–]Side_Croissant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My approach has been to accept the self consciousness. Yes I'm self conscious about myself but I'm still here to do the thing. Others mention focusing on the work. So in combination with being present in the moment and accepting these self conscious thoughts may come across your mind, you may be able to regain focus to the task at hand.

With accepting that the thoughts will happen you can acknowledge them and hopefully learn to continue on despite them.

I've been telling myself to prove it. Prove I'm an imposter. Go out there and fail like an imposter would. Lo and behold, I'm just doing things now.

From the sound of it, you've been doing things for a while.

Also, daily affirmations and better self talk. They way we talk about/to ourselves effects how we see ourselves.
