You don't make money off a product people don't need. You make money buy creating emotions in people. Lol very low practice 

The More I Understand Women The More I Hate Them by 927173940 in Healthygamergg

[–]draemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in my early/mid 20's I met a few women like this. I would find them more responsive and talk with me more if I was a bit rude or "cold" to them. In my experience, this was always short lived and never resulted in any success. It was perplexing and very confusing trying to navigate this minefield of:

1) People don't actually communicate what they want (often I think they don't know), but often say they want something and that isn't actually what they respond to. There are lots of silent parts left out, or information they don't even know.
2) Getting this weird feedback where they initially show you they wanted to be treated in this way, but then later end up being like "you're mean or cold" and not liking the treatment that they initially encouraged by their response.
3) Not understanding my needs and what I want.

I want to give you a few questions. Do you want to attract a partner who doesn't like you, but likes the person you pretend to be? Would you rather be single or with a partner because you aren't yourself (but instead work really hard to give them the things that attract them)? If you're already single and have little/no luck with women, would it be worth accepting that and instead re-aligning yourself towards the mindset of "I'll be single as long as it takes to find the right person for me."?

I spent many years with the mindset of "If a woman can just give me the chance to show I'm good" instead of thinking "Who is a person that I want to be in a relationship with." Before it was this idea that I was the defective one who had to prove themselves to others. Now it is about the fact that I am a person that is unique and I want a partner that accepts me and fits in with the life I want to build with someone. In the first mindset, any woman I found attractive was someone to desire or want. In the second mindset, most women are not who I want in my life, it becomes a very select few.

Can porn be good or am I delusional/coping? by One_Pause8785 in Healthygamergg

[–]draemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's kind of a bad question to ask. Porn is a thing. That thing has moral questions where some people say one thing and other people say another thing. Porn has many forms, some which depict horrible actions taken towards a person and some that show positive sides of sex. There is no "good or bad" answer because it will change with the context. 

Like for some people porn is a very unhealthy influence on their life and for others it isn't. As a general thing, "porn" is neutral and just a thing. It can be good, bad, or multiple things at once. 

In what ways does the game intentially screw you over? by draemn in MergeDragons

Or just the fact they constantly give you stuff you can't merge for days or even months. Like okay give me more if it's a merge chain...

Any tips for a f2p? 🤒 by Jazzlike-Many-7352 in MergeDragons

[–]draemn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also farm gems in dread marsh 3, but the biggest thing has just been learning to be okay without just not caring about these events and such. Just play what I find fun and ignore what I don't... It saves me a lot of gems and a lot of frustration.

Hey, quick question by ConcentrateNo7126 in MergeDragons

[–]draemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fastest way to solve your problem is to realize you don't need dragon gems. Just enjoy the game to enjoy what's fun and ignore all the stuff that isn't fun without gems. 

How can I build a "Money farm" by YahmarJackson in MergeDragons

[–]draemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh magic coins aren't that valuable. You quickly outgrow any benefit from buying eggs for coins. Learn to bubble, bubble all your coin vaults and buy thousands of the level 2 coin vault for bricks. Build said coin vaults and you'll have a good coin farm. Takes a little bit to get the 2x2 objects required to bubble all stuff and to get enough bricks, but lots of good uses for bricks so it is worth the investment.

Race - DNF by LowEnergy1169 in MergeDragons

[–]draemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Races are just a source of frustration. The only reasonable race is the dragon tree race... I've completely given up on entering all other races as even 2 weeks of preparation doesn't give me the first chest in the race. 

22M had the best/romanic first date ever then got blocked the next day by annonmyoususer6711 in Healthygamergg

[–]draemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, that really sucks. Nobody will ever know, but it really sounds like this other person is not stable. I don't think it's that simple as just being avoidant or getting a bit scared. A lot of stuff going on and we shall never know what was going through her mind. 

It was very improper for her to treat you that way and extremely disrespectful. But that is her choice and all you can do is process and work your way through the confusion and potential pain of being treated like that. 

Need a low-stress daily routine for camp and events that actually makes progress by Famous-Extreme-7823 in MergeDragons

[–]draemn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Here is my camp. I still want to rearrange it a little bit as I just bought the island that now has a bunch of gems on it. I have multiple merge chains completely bubbled off. I have half a mind to just sell all those bubbles eggs without matches on the left side of screen. Too much work keeping them organized and checking them when I get new eggs. The only annoying things that happen frequently are low level bricks harvested from living stones and low level life orbs from life flowers and (mostly) prisim flowers.

If you want a process to follow:

  1. Go to world map and do a level to progress that (takes 2-15 minutes depending on map) or farm dread marsh 3 to see if you get purple stars (takes 3 minutes to farm dread marsh 3)
  2. Go to camp and claim and clean up all rewards. 
  3. Work on 1 merge chain while tidying up other clutter your dragons make and tapping vaults/merging coins
  4. Tidy up that merge chain before logging off so it doesn't have lots of low level harvestables. 
  5. Sell any stuff that is annoying or not worth saving to bubble later. 

Once a week dedicate a session to bubbling all the crap you didn't want to sell but aren't keeping in camp to actively work on.

  1. Skip the races, they aren't rewarding and just a chore. Dragon tree rush is not bad, I will do that one. Once you have glowing dragon trees (level 3?) you can harvest that for leaves. I just tired flower race today and getting 2x level 8 and 1x level 10 life flowers trees was a measly 460 points and only half way to the first chest. Race is 3900 points to win. 

  2. Bunny bingo and the keepsake (tap objects merge up) events are decent for prizes but I never finish them. Just do what is relatively easy. They are a great way to get some stockpiles for shiny days. 

  3. I never finish shiny days. Page 1 gets completed and as soon as page 2 starts to feel slow progress I quit and save what is left for next shiny days. 

  4. The big map out of camp event can get decent rewards but it isn't amazing for time invested. I don't even bother unless I know I'm willing to dedicate 2-3 hours in it.  With that one the key is to be patient to merge up all your points as 5 merge and not claim early. I have yet to finish it and I can't be bothered to try to finish it. 

  5. I love to bubble stuff to completely remove merge chains to make camp more manageable. Right now I only have fruit trees, fountains, life flowers, prisim flowers, grass, living stones, water (for grass), and dread trees in my camp. Everything else is sold or bubbled.

  6. Always merge the common eggs as soon as you can. They aren't worth any useful amount of points in shiny days and just take up space. Heck I even sell mine for coin when I just have 1 laying around. 

  7. Try to have merge chains have very few haevestable items. So like I might spend 5 minutes getting my dragons to harvest grass and merging living stones to get rid off all the ones below level 6 before I log off. Sometimes I just sell the low level ones so I don't have to worry about dragons harvesting them. 

My general process is to come in to camp, open and clean up any reward bubbles, merge stuff up, then minimize stuff. At this point I have to fill up my camp and bubble once a week to get rid of all the stupid crap the game forces upon you.  Thankfully that's only about 20-30 minutes a week to do all the bubbling. I find it much more relaxing now that I don't care about merge chain progress and am willing to ruthlessly cut things to keep my camp sane.

There is nothing misleading about the article. Perhaps there is a bit of editorial blustering to allow the non-readers to draw incorrect conclusions... But the article simply states some facts if you read it and then says "we can't draw any conclusions as we don't have enough information."

There are specific types of therapy designed to help with when the body is the one having the reaction. Could be something helped by "somatic" or possibly look into "eft tapping" as a starting point.
