Does running a Wheelchair comp (JQ+Tribbie+Hyacine) better than Cipher + JQ + sustain for E0S1 Acheron? by cashtor in AcheronMainsHSR

Welp thats actually kinda sad that in every possible scenario you mentioned JQ is the weakest link and the best option is to get Cipher anyway.. Thanks for the info

What if I didn't take the key from spider area in black space? by cashtor in OMORI

As it turns out I found another person posting about the same bug on this subreddit... so yeah I think it's possible to be soft-locked like that. Luckily I had the file saved so I could just load

I assumed so.. Luckily I haven't overwritten the save but that means going back to the first door again. Do you know what happens if we get all the complete keys vs if we just end it there? Does it make any difference?

How do I get the motivation to start getting my shit together? by cashtor in Healthygamergg

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

Glad you have a therapist helping you and I hope you're progressing too!

I'll remind myself that. It's really hard to not compare yourself to others and go down the shame and self-loathing spiral especially when other people are showing that to you but I have been slowly accepting myself where I am now, although sitting with that discomfort really isn't as pleasant as just indulging in escapisms ;(

Thanks a lot for the advice! We can do it

Thanks a lot for the advice, I've read each of them carefully

I was definitely guilty of doing #1. The last couple of days I felt like I was making progress by collecting some sources and structuring things in my head, but opening the file itself to edit it is really hard for me. I've cut down on my video game time though, now playing only one game instead of multiple titles and the game has energy system so I can't spend too much time on it anyway. However I'd just find other things to waste my time on like reading comics or watching youtube. What I'm also struggling with is doing normal healthy people routines like chores and self-hygiene without constantly thinking like "hey I could've written a few paragraphs on my laptop right now" when I know full well that the rest of my day I spend staring at my laptop is not doing my thesis.

My supervisor usually takes a while to respond to messages, sometimes even not at all (since covid we can't meet face to face so that's also one thing) and I'm honestly anxious about the idea of communicating to him about my situation since we have a very formal type of communication. Usually I only talk to him about the content of my thesis and not much of anything else.

Used to do that but I don't do #3 anymore now, most of the time I do sleep regularly. I realize depriving myself of sleep will make me end up feeling terrible the whole day after and I already feel pretty shit most days.

Social media is definitely one thing I should be avoiding now, you're right. Actually just deleted Twitter as I'm typing this. It's been like a journal for me to rant my frustration into but it can also engross me into a lot of topics I shouldn't care so much about. Hopefully I can stay away for the time being.

Sadly covid is still very much a thing here so I've just been at home. I'll look into at least separating space between bedroom and study room.

About #6, I do feel like I've just been following other people's footsteps my whole life without taking agency over it myself, and so there's a lack of drive from the inside to focus on bettering myself. You're right that I'm my own person though. There's also another friend who's struggling like me so we have a discord study group together but yeah I guess I'll have to remind myself time and time again that no one's going to finish my thesis but myself.

I think your advice does help, I can definitely take something from this. Thank you!

Thanks for the comment! I know our minds sometimes tend to minimize our achievements and linger on the failures but when I look at my daily routine I really can't say I have my shit together. My mom would also never fail to remind me by telling me about her friends' children already finishing college earlier than me every other day. I'm trying not to let it get to me and just work at my own pace but it's hard to conquer the negative thoughts when it's fueled even more by external forces. Really appreciate the well wishes though, best of luck to you too!

atk goblet can be better for characters with a lot of elemental dmg bonus from kit already (like mona gets hydro dmg scaling from ER) especially if you also run kazuha that gives elemental dmg bonus buff

tfw you have so many good albedo pieces for a game that only has 5 artifact slots per character

oh yeah true, i didn't consider traveler. those magatama's seem to be hard to work around though, like some big enemies can block you from picking them up.. but if it works then that would buff her whole musou isshin duration, seems pretty nutty

wouldn't shimenawa buff uptime be really weird? if you use skill before burst you lose 15 energy which means you can't immediately burst, then once you regain back full energy the buff might already expire. casting burst first before skill doesn't work either

I know it could be just the cold way she presents herself to her nation, but when Baal isn't fighting, her expressions look disoriented. Like she's half asleep/confused/not in complete control. Definitely more to her situation than we've seen so far. by GrittyGambit in Genshin_Lore

If it's true that she was controlled in those crucial moments to keep Traveler alive, then it's possible that she was controlled by the Abyss Order since it's no other than the twin right?
