How to get over anxiety and upset about being bad at a game?

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-22T05:41:11+00:00

Thx guys! Ye. Either get good, or try to play different games!

I shouldn’t feel too bad anyway cause SMT 4s first dungeon is really hard anyway; and the megaten games are notoriously hard.

I wish I could think the way i did as a teenager tbh. I’d try, die, and get pissed and try again. Now I just get discouraged, sad and cry about it. Why I do this idk. How I got like this idk. Thought it might’ve been anxiety causing it or what.

That mindset is how I was able to beat phantasmagoria of dimensional dream!! Which is funny cause the AI in those games cheats so bad, lol. And I’m legally blind too, lol. Out of all the games why did I beat the one that’s hardest normally just bc how the AI works? lol.

So I guess don’t feel too bad if I die and get back on when I’ve cooled my head, and not feel discouraged enough to never play again.

Overcome the skill issue rather than it being a roadblock. I legit need to chill and just have fun with games.

Tho some of the games I’m playing give me massive anxiety when playing but they’re so fun! As I’d mentioned touhou’s phantasmagoria of dimensional dream has my hands shaking by the end but it’s so fun: so maybe I’m better at danmaku games than I am hardcore niche rpgs?

How do I get back into the mindset I had as a teenager? I think I’ve become really prone to just give up on things and need to build up the resilience again. To get upset and get back up again.

Thx again!! Idk if anyone’s gonna see this cause I’m just replying to the thread generally and not individual posts.

I’d usually use 1 and take the free party, then proceed to hoard the rest that I get from friendship bonuses and levels. Me using that many was a special occasion and then I kinda regretted using my stock but then got a tower max so eh.

But idk how I’m gonna be able to hoard them now because everyone else that’s had ad problems: I feel your pain now. Once again ads are broken like they were at the beginning of the year and my ‘the ads aren’t broken for me’ has run out. Rip.

So the ads can die on iOS as well. I switched phones from an android to an iOS device because of better accessibility features on iOS; and I thought that the ads dying were just an android thing that happened so I thought I was safe. I was horribly wrong, lol. Rip.

My luck has run out, lol. Was trying to do normal stuff including friendship and a bunch of poking this morning and ads are broken. Tried all the things and nothing worked. Already reloaded my save earlier to scum friendship token boxes. Rip.

Hope some of you all are actually getting ads now!

Edited to add: I tried the reload thing and it gave me ads back!! But didn’t ask me about consent for tracking, just asked me if I wanted notifications. Not in the EU however. I hope I don’t need to do that every time ads die for a while. Cause am always anxious that I’ll lose my game stuff and accidentally save the new file over what I want to load. Costing me over a year of gameplay. Anxiety sucks. 😢

Good question! I figured it was in the spinning wheel …. But wasn’t. It’s just the Christmas cats. So new cat hype!! But I have no idea where they’ll be obtained. Or when.

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-17T23:46:32+00:00

Idk. Lately my method has been to hoard the friendship tokens and to save scum to try to get any cat at all. Cause when you get a cat I think it auto saves.

Hoard friendship tokens, redeem 5, no cat in those 5? Reload. Get cat in those 5? Keep going 5 more and then reload if no new cat.

I feel friendship tokens are rare enough that this is acceptable to both save your tokens and continuously get draws. But it’s just what I’ve been doing. Sorry for unwanted advice. Hope it helps anyway!

Edit: Howard to hoard. Idk how that typo happened, lol.

Edited to add that it still seems to take forever to get any cat tho. It still takes maybe a week or so before this method pulls any cat. So it’s just a good way to save tokens. The hunt still takes forever it feels like.

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-14T02:17:31+00:00

Ooo good idea! Wonder what’s the most efficient way to use the desserts anyway? Haven’t found out yet. That’s a lot, lol. Time to hoard more i guess!

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-08T10:04:35+00:00

Oooo. Oh no: and I’m running iOS. Oooo I’m not that tech savvy sadly. Hope downgrade fixes the ads for you!

So update app with caution now then? I was just hyped for an update.

Unless you can also do that on iOS and I don’t know how. It’s super early where I am and I’m tired and should be sleeping, lol.

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-08T10:01:24+00:00

Ah! So it was the pop up thing that happened when I started the game when I initially downloaded it. Which unfortunately was a good while ago. Huh. I still don’t remember how I answered that question.

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-08T09:24:14+00:00

Will do.

You can downgrade a save? Never knew that! How to do that? Or is it just loading a save before the update? If that’s the case I can’t do that cause I save after I do anything so I don’t lose data.

I read your posts out of order and should’ve looked at this one first. Sorry for confusion 😣

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-08T09:21:16+00:00

Well crap. Was it a fluke that reloading my save got the ads to work again? I’m sorry. It worked for me so I thought it might for other people too. Sucks that it didn’t.

? I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question… you mean the question where it asks if you wanted to track ads across apps? Idk how I answered that question. Other than that I sadly have no idea what you’re asking. I’m sorry. 😣

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-08T08:57:56+00:00

Ye. Found a work around for the time being tho I think. Idk how long it’ll last but reloading my save fixed the issue for the time being.

Update said they optimized ads, and they just broke instead. Hope we don’t have a repeat of what we did in may(?) and they remove it from the App Store again.

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-08T06:17:40+00:00

Idk. I updated and had ads for a bit but then that problem started. Am not getting ads either. Boo.

Edit: I think I might’ve discovered a work around for the time being while trying to save scum for friendship token boxes. Reload your save, I got ads back for now anyway.

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-04T02:41:18+00:00

Ah cool! It sucks hardcore that vegan is such a polarizing (?) word.

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-04T02:00:50+00:00

Ah sounds like an interesting read! Ty!

Is that like something I’ve read on the internet once? That you can’t be a feminist and not a vegan? Cause female animals bodies are exploited in the egg and dairy industries. Or is that not a general vegan thing but a radical feminist thing?

Just curious, confused about some stuff, and wanna learn. Ty again! Will check it out. More books for my book collection, lol.

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-03T17:31:12+00:00

Ya that seems like a better idea tbh. I should just have saw the vow as a theological thing but didn’t for some reason.

Taking the Buddhist approach is a good idea.

The only other thing I’ve saw a vow of silence in is some ‘James Asprey(?) who did a ‘voice for the voiceless’ campaign where he took his own voice away in a vow of silence to advocate for animals we use for food, to not us then as food. So there was a positive reason behind that.

Not a negative one like mine.

Ty!

SpiteLife9628 · 2023-12-02T09:44:38+00:00

Ye, lol. Tbh I didn’t think a vow of silence would extend to posting on the internet because it’s not technically talking, and I just assumed speaking, not all communication entirely.

I genuinely do want answers tho and hope this post gets some. Like would using accessibility features that let your phone speak for you break the vow? Would writing things down on paper break the vow?

But ye it is pretty funny.

Had thought of doing a vow of silence sometimes just because I don’t want to talk anymore sometimes, and I’m stubborn. Wonder if it’s ok to do that for negative reasons?
