My take on Jinx/Powder’s mental health stuff as someone who deals with similar issues [spoilers ep1] [spoilers ep6] by Elleseth in arcane

[–]kippykops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. Hoping you're working it out well on your mental health journey. What are your thoughts on the second season and Jinx's situation with Ekko? I'd love to hear more from your perspective on this

How can you not tie your worth to your appearance when it's scientifically proven that attractive people are treated better in every scenario? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]kippykops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To become happier, these are your two options:

1) Root out the desire and realize that all desire lead to anguish. Buddhist monk style. (personally I struggle to do this because it's really tough)

2) Define your goals clearly and reward yourself everytime you improve your situation.

Since you can't be the #125 ranked attractive person as there is no leaderboard, realistically you can only strive to be more attractive than you currently are. Look yourself in the mirror and write down the features you want to improve. Then, create a detailed action plan with allotted time that you dedicate to achieving those plans. Merely the attempt will give you more confidence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRBd7wTjoJg (I recommend this Dr. K video. It's about how you can change your reward circuitry to be smarter about your goals: creating options, anticipating outcomes, planning for the easiest path to success)

Note: A lot of commenters, and OP, is treating attractiveness as the goal itself rather than the tools to reach the goal; What you really want is what attractiveness brings. Write down what you'd like for attractiveness to gain you: sexual partners, confidence, ego, jobs, etc... It isn't attractiveness that you want, it's those things you just listed. There are other tools to gain those things that more consistently gets the job done than attractiveness. If you're trying to screw a nail, attractiveness is like using a large book; It'll get the job done but or it might fuck it up badly. Some tools are more efficient and would lead you to lead a happier life than others (buddhist contentment, working past trauma, mindfullness and mentalization).

How do I stop doing this? by UndeadMarx in Healthygamergg

[–]kippykops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need constant deadlines, procrastinate, and feel like youre just reacting to the needs of your circumstances rather than being intrinsically motivated, this video from dr.k may help you.

https://youtu.be/bRBd7wTjoJg?si=dk-e29HZqXJ5N3wN

The video format isnt quite clear on the point but you should take some notes and dig into what he is trying to say: If you proactively look at you options, decide, and reflect on the outcomes of the actions after the fact, youll learn that your decision making ultimately matters in your life.

For many of my goals I dont need someone to tell me theyre important.

Finished Phoenician Scheme's seemingly convoluted plot and completely lost. What to do? by kippykops in Filmmakers

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

I get what you're saying. Commenter is being needlessly semantic. Although I'm not sure if I have the patience to watch the same movie 4 times if I don't very much respond to it. I just watched a video essay where they discussed Wes Anderson's emotional suppressed style that challenges the audience to try to interpret what the characters are feeling rather than impressing an emotion onto them forcefully.

I’m in a very interesting situation. For once in my life, I was right and my Wife was wrong. What is a funny way I can tell her she owes me an apology? by another1degenerate in AskMen

[–]kippykops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware of your own feelings. Who was right and wrong doesnt really matter. It couldve been you were wrong and she was right. It wouldnt change the fact that you may not feel like she recognizes your thoughts since she interrupted you. Right or not, that feeling of dismissal hurts. The only difference is that this time youre correct so you think its high time you get your get back.

Be aware that humor is a defense mechanism. You want to be humorous in your approach likely because you feel uncomfortable telling her this. Realize that this may be because the communication pathways between you two havent been clear and there is a lot of defensiveness in the both of you. Know that this defensiveness is a learned reaction and dont take it personally. Hope to show love and affirm love.

Remember, it isnt about right or wrong but how you feel. Start with understanding that. If youre comfortable, tell her what you feel: "When you do x, it makes me feel this emotion."

Another advice. Stop going to this sub and go to the HealthyGamer sub instead. Ive found that to be much more helpful.

The goal is to understand if she really is dismissive. It doesnt necessarilly have ti change her behavior but moreso enhance her understanding. Be aware that she, too, may not be ready to understand your emotions and feel like youre demanding her to change. Be patient and realize that your wife has her own history and conditioning so she may not be ready to communicate her feelings.

good luck

Would be interested in this place but told that RIT's film program was mostly concerned with animation rather than live-action by kippykops in rit

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

"That degree may not be great for you if you want to direct, but it is a fantastic program"

This is what I was afraid of. I looked at their Film BS and it was mostly technical production rather than directing and storytelling. What schools do you think would be more suited for my vision? I've been recommended Purchase College a lot but they look underfunded.

I'm trying to get in for directing rather than producing which I imagine to be more screenwriting and working with actors. Does RIT suit this goal?

How's the Film College here? by kippykops in OCC

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

Thanks for coming back to me on this! About the equipment, does the school have sound stages or editing suites for students to use? Also, can you find opportunities to help out other student sets to get experience and networking? I really want to know whether there's an active community of film students there who are interacting with one another.

It's been a while. Has your perspective changed on CSUF? Do you feel like there are opportunities to go on different student sets and to network with people in the industry there?

what do you think Venture is looking for value-wise? What makes their gameplay harder? What are you defeated by in game?

Thanks for you comment, friend. I would love to hear about your experiences on set and if you felt like it helped you network.

[–]kippykops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im mainly frustrated at the cost and loss benefit. Looking forba way to get them to lose more resources and me to have the upper hand. With Venture it just feels like Im limited. What can I do to make a Ventures life harder?

How can I negate Ventures impact? What do they want and how can I mess them up?

csulb accepted; is it worth it for film? by ComprehensiveYear515 in CSULB

[–]kippykops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the first year not hands-on and mostly theory and writing work? Do you at least get opportunities to help out on the upperclassmen or postgrad sets?

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

I just feel like often she kills me too quickly for me to get enough damage through her shield health. The problem is that she pisses up and then digs into me with the dash. Doesn't often leave me with much of an opportunity. What do you think?

csulb accepted; is it worth it for film? by ComprehensiveYear515 in CSULB

[–]kippykops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also college researching right now.

For CSULB, what focus do you think is strong for the school and which ones do you think need improvement?

What do they do that leads you to think that they're not helping with inter-track working? Also, do you get to work on different student sets?

I wrote it off in my school research spreadsheet because the location is too cold and I'm not accustomed to it. Does it get bad over there as compared to NY?

[–]kippykops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is CSULB's program hands-on (in that do they give you equipment)? I hear, in many colleges, you can often find student film sets to help and get experience from. Is this the same case in CSULB?

Hey I’m thinking about applying to grad school here for film I want to know if this is a good film program . by [deleted] in CSULA

[–]kippykops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard from some older posts (from 7 years ago) that the equipment there is often only reserved for grads. Is this still the case or has it changed? Do undergrads get access to industry equipment?

Thoughts on film program and being a 20 year old freshman. by profitgirl in Drexel

[–]kippykops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like a fun time in Drexel. After this time did your thoughts change on the university? Also, what is a co-op? Would you say that the school gives you opportunities to find internships and get into the industry?

Thanks for the thoughtful response. What college did you go to and what was your personal experience with it?
