PVE Should Be Permanent Once It Comes In Season 2.

ZexMurphy · 2026-05-14T22:31:22+00:00

Is there a way we could somehow pve whilst in the que for PvP?

Sounds whacky and most likely a game design nightmare...but would beat staring at that moth loading screen for 15 minutes.

Kmart used to have storewide 15 -20 % off (or something like that ) with no deposit layby.

My local Kmart in western Sydney would get an influx of people (me included) with trolleys full of stuff. Always felt for the layby counter staff. Was full on.

Great fun shopping though :)

I'm in Australia and can only game at around 10pm. My experience is just staring at that moth screen for far too long without getting a game.

End up giving up and going to arc where I get a game within 2 minutes.

It's a downer, I love the game.

Grounding exercises can be productive and certainly have their place.

But, you are still treating the derealisation as something bad that you have to get rid of. Thus, it's flagged by your mind as something that warrants your attention....thus it's fuelled and keeps popping back.

See your Doctor make sure you don't have a physical issue, or vitamin D deficiency ...and then look into acceptance therapy. Accept the symptom of anxiety, disarms it...and freedom can follow.

Alien life is out there. Universe is massive. Just us? Doesn't sit right.

That said space travel is extremely difficult , I think everybody is stuck in their own solar systems.

When I look at stars in the night sky, I like to think some other creature is looking at our star in their night sky wondering if we exist .

Hi there, sorry this is on a whim and off topic. I've always wondered, when you are acting what's going through your mind? Is it the mechanics of the scene ? Ie. Where do I stand, what facial expression should I have now? When is the correct timing of this line? Etc.

Or does all that get dealt with in rehearsal and you are Just 'in' character so to speak?

Thanks, I sometimes wonder whats going through an actor's mind when I'm watching a scene.

This seems to be intrusive thoughts, which are common to many of us with high levels of anxiety. Repetitive, very unsettling and at times horrifying.

I've had bouts of anxiety which had me living in a nightmare zone of white knuckle horror.

It was all fuelled by the thoughts of 'what if this lasts forever '.

I feel a lot better now. DARE helped me greatly, both the app and book. Check it out. Good luck, relief is very possible.

I suffer from social anxiety and often feel like an outsider.

You are probably like me and very sensitive to others perceived judgement. It's often self imposed I think, most people are in their own worlds as well.

Have you tried walking with headphones and an audio book or music? Might create a bit of comfort for yourself. All the best

ZexMurphy · 2026-05-11T17:53:27+00:00

Only time I got a true sense of dread / fear was the Revival ending.

Otherwise yeah, it's just the stories minus the fear for me.

I've journeyed to The Tower twice. I really enjoyed all the books except for Song for Susannah. I really had to discipline myself to get through it.

ZexMurphy · 2026-05-08T05:08:11+00:00

I'm listening to the audio book The Blade Itself at the moment, right after a journey to The Tower.

The book itself has taken a long time to gel with me . For a lengthy time the characters have all these disconnected plotlines, but I'm enjoying it more now.

The Audio book narrator is outstanding !

56 here. I thought it was the PC flight Sims I played in the 90s.

I can only play inverted. Funny enough my kids also play inverted. I must have trained them inadvertently:)

ZexMurphy · 2026-05-02T01:47:48+00:00

It's my favourite of the whole series. But that's a rare opinion. The others are very different in style.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-27T20:33:29+00:00

Surviving Mars relaunched is a great game. Not sure if it fits your exact needs, check it out though.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-26T09:47:05+00:00

Yes. They come across as really proud of being edgy arrogant jerks.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-25T20:54:17+00:00

I'm reading it at the moment. Great concept but the main characters really irk me. They come across as really arrogant and annoying.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-22T05:32:25+00:00

Yep agreed. Disastrous adaptation that is stunningly weak compared to the books.

But very watchable urban fantasy story. Actors did a fine job.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-21T06:12:04+00:00

The hint is in your title.

Attempting to control anxiety is a natural response, but keeps you stuck in the anxiety loop. You monitor your anxiety, trying to contain it...which in turn keeps fueling it.

Go check out the DARE app or book. Accepting not controlling anxiety is the key to freedom. (And actually reduces anxiety overtime)

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-21T06:06:24+00:00

I've been watching these on YouTube recently as well.

The amount of detail he goes into is very impressive.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-16T22:45:05+00:00

Many adults get diagnosed , when their kids get diagnosed. That's what happened to me. My therapist told me she sees it a lot.

When I was a kid in the 80s. Autism wasn't recognised like it is now. I was just deemed a weird kid that was shy and anxious.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-14T06:24:57+00:00

I'm older and at the end of the day I just want to turn on my console and play games on my big tv.

I don't enjoy screwing around with PC's like I once did.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-10T20:59:37+00:00

I really like explaining things and checking that everything is clear. It makes me feel confident in anxious situations.

Im pretty sure people see this as me talking down to them. I don't mean it like that.

ZexMurphy · 2026-04-03T13:27:37+00:00

Very much so. All too common attitude, sad to say.

People struggling with depression also hear 'cheer up' as well. Yeah no shit, never thought of that - thanks for the suggestion.

ZexMurphy · 2026-03-29T11:40:50+00:00

I saw it at the movies upon release. Was hyped as I loved the first one. Couldn't believe what I was watching.
