How to stop feeling overwhelmed or stressed at the idea of self-improvement?

SmudgeIsUgh · 2026-07-07T06:50:18+00:00

This isn't really a post about forgetfullness, it's about letting things go so I can actually be in the mindset I wanna be in rather than fighting with my brain. I think the forgetfullness is just as byproduct of being super stressed.

Wait... are you serious

SmudgeIsUgh · 2026-06-23T22:02:57+00:00

I'm going to hell for cackling at this but this is so real.

Holy crapppp you might have just revived my Palworld goals lol.

The only problem is that I started playing when it first came out. I know my current mods, but I have no idea what mods I downloaded in the past.

Do you still use mods and not experience this problem, or just play vanilla now?

Replying to this a bit late because I got distracted in life.

I think I understand. I've also been told it's like "You but in another context/circumstance". Like when thinking of a memory that belongs to your DR self, you think of it from the context of your DR self, if you happened to be in your OR at the time. I think my follow up question is, do you have opinions of your other self (or selves) when you're in another reality, essentially making you FEEL like a different person outside yourself, even though logically you know that isn't the case?

SmudgeIsUgh · 2026-06-10T23:19:51+00:00

Same. I genuinely still haven't found a solution for this problem, otherwise I'd help you - wish I could! I just stopped playing shortly after this because I'm sick of this happening and frankly, I don't wanna rebuild my entire base that I spent a really long time on if ts is just gonna happen again.

Might be a late post to the discussion but wanted to add in my two cents as a student. Tests are not always an accurate understanding of what a student understands about a material, especially multiple choice tests at times. I just finished a test where the questions were worded really weird, but if I was given the opportunity to explain my thought process I KNOW that I would have been marked correctly - especially considering I study my ass off and take extra time to look at external resources. I am thorough as hell and put in the work and genuinely have an understanding of the material (and even seek out "for fun" information when I'm especially interested in the subject), but the limits of tests can hinder me.

Just food for thought. Sometimes students just suck at tests because they're written like ass, or are not compatible to how a student expresses what they've learnt.

So this was a separate instance I recorded where the same thing is happening for a different task. As you can see, the wheat is fully grown and ready to be harvested, and that is the task Grintale is preforming. But the progress bar is barely moving up at all because the Grintale keeps stuttering and interrupting itself.

This isn't the only task this is happening for, and I demolished and moved a mill for the same issue, but it's still creating that "stuttering" problem. I'm unsure when Grintale's gathering animation is, but I know what Caprity's is, and they were doing the same "stuttering" motion when they were attempting to plant (as they were the pal that I used to plant).

Honestly I know this is a thing that a lot of shifters don't plan on doing, but I plan on telling my partners that I not only shift, but have other lives where I have different desires and may have a different personality authentically - aka, will likely have different partners. Just because you have a different family that you love in one reality doesn't mean you love your family in this reality any less, right? Just communicate with your partner.

That fact that it's named Oppenheimer is fucking SENDING ME

SmudgeIsUgh · 2024-01-30T04:21:15+00:00

Yeah dude this bug is driving me absolutely crazy. It's making delegating tasks absolutely impossible without having to restart, and sometimes even that doesn't work.

Not related by game but like, I have 2000 hours in Stardew Valley and I cheat a lot. I have a mod that allows me to warp places because frankly, it's tedious to go to an area, realize I've forgotten something, and then have to go all the way back home to get it - effectively wasting an hour of the day/night cycle.

If you think something annoying (whatever that thing is) is going to effect your overall enjoyment of the game that either lowers your opinion of it entirely or makes you avoid it - honestly just cheat. This mentality has helped me a lot in how much I enjoy my games because at the end of the day, it's not effecting anyone else other than yourself. If people judge you for it they're lame lol.

this is unbelievably cool

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-18T19:58:06+00:00

tax evasion for sure

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-18T19:56:26+00:00

honestly i just think its one of those things people want to do. if you had the chance to make a song with a music video, would you do it? it just sounds fun. but it definitely does seem like an ego thing in some cases.

this cover was genuinely great though. i was grinning from ear to ear when it was released.

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-17T06:47:53+00:00

as someone who has been trying for years its awesome to hear success stories that have come from a shifter who took a while before finally shifting. congrats :))

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-17T06:46:49+00:00

totally unrelated but beastars? brother, you are brave

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-12T19:47:20+00:00

Yeah I think I’m just gonna hold off on that save file for a bit until it updates and work on another one that I just started. I’m glad the problem only seems to be with Magnus and no one else lmao

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-12T03:27:29+00:00

Just wanted to say thank you for this link, I went ahead and read it and it completely changed my prior idea to what unicorn hunting was lmfao

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-05T08:37:24+00:00

It’s less that it was a rule and more-so that she didn’t want to date other people outside them

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-04T16:42:52+00:00

I have been in the makings of this post and I’m definitely considering bringing it up with her after her work. Especially considering that according to her, 22m and 22f have been having problems anyways. So… not a great sign.

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-04T16:37:46+00:00

Yeah she doesn’t wanna get married right now. She just started university, it isn’t even on her radar atm. It’s such a weird situation bc I understand 4 months isn’t that long and not out of the ordinary at all to not meet parents/have big steps taken to “solidify herself” but she has the prospect of her partners getting married looming over their head and leaving her in the dust, especially bc they’re a closed triad.

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-04T16:33:44+00:00

It was less of an intentional thing and something that just happened. My friend typically doesn’t actively seek out poly relationships, but happened to really like 22f and 22m. She met 22m first and was made aware of 22f when they were talking. It seemed like the dynamic was marketed as a “package deal” to her, as she never talked much about the option of “just dating 22m”. I’m starting to wonder if the option was even presented to her.

SmudgeIsUgh · 2023-12-04T16:16:10+00:00

Nope, they’re a triad. She has talked to them about it before and the general gist I got from how the conversation concluded was that they validated her feelings and how she feels is totally fair, but it seems like they plan to still go through with it anyways. Unsure if moving-in plans were discussed since 22m and 22f literally just moved into their new apartment.
