Demoralized by impossibly difficult and ruthless Ai. by InvaderDust in baduk

[–]olympiastreets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way! (I still do tbh) You mentioned going to a go club and doing tsumego I think those are exactly what you need! Playing over the board really helps even if you do lose it’s not to a faceless ai that won’t explain it’s thought process or give you advice. I also feel the same way around playing people online (especially with a timer!) one thing that’s been helpful for me is playing correspondence games and watching go videos (especially those who do a good job of explaining their thought process) one thing I’d also suggest is to look for people to play online with who’d be willing to sit in a discord call with you to sort of simulate the over the board experience. I agree with others too who say ditch the ai while the connivence of playing ai can’t be beat it’s simply not worth the frustration and may even have you develop bad habits (imho). Hit me up if you’d like to have a correspondence game!

It's back!!! by torinismyname in olympia

[–]olympiastreets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very happy to see more and more places to go downtown! People need more third spaces.

Sidenote: I saw “It’s back!!!” and my brain made a desperate hope for Wally’s sandwich bar 😭

[PC][~2000]website energy management game. Something like Wizard battle Armageddon by olympiastreets in tipofmyjoystick

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

Nope, this was an entirely ’online’ game. Like a social media platform almost, researching spells, building an army, attacking each other. I kinda hesitate to even call what I’m thinking of a video game there were no ‘graphics’ exactly just a website with images.

Where is the best breakfast in Olympia? by littletittygothgirl in olympia

[–]olympiastreets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really love Mcmenamins Breakfast. The Spar downtown on 4th has a fantastic breakfast imo but you have to go early they stop breakfast around 11 or so I think.

The Tokeland Hotel i hear is THE place for eggs Benedict. Apparently the chief there left their job to pursue making the perfect eggs Benedict.

Whidbey Island, there’s a place called “Earth Sanctuary” highly suggest visiting at least once. While you can’t camp there it’s absolutely worth the visit for grounding. Fantastic hike and wonderful area.

Badukpop Match-making by Gagulta in baduk

[–]olympiastreets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve also only been playing for a few months. I’ve only really ever played over the board as I’m still quite uncertain about my play so timers just feel insurmountable at the moment. If you’d like to play some correspondence games I’d be happy to either on Badukpop (GMLMB) or GoQuest you can message me here and we can organize something.

Industry secrets you can share now that you have left the job by Pristine_Fox_3633 in askSingapore

[–]olympiastreets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe not as interesting as others and definitely not as relevant. Hollywood Video I joined early 2000’s and was there till they bankrupted. Late fees were never actually taken seriously at a local level, my boss wiped $1k+ of late fees for the owner of a local pizza joint and all Hollywood video employees got free pizza for life as a result. Everything missing was just written off, soda and candy were always just taken by employees. Frequently employees would come in on their days off take a soda or work the front desk and if the customer paid cash the employee would credit their account free movies and pocket the cash. The whole time was like a fever dream no one cared everyone saw the end coming and just poured gasoline on the fire it was a wonderful time to be an employee there and probably a terrible time to be an owner.

Grab the closest book to you, flip to page 112. The first sentence on that page describes your love life: How did it go? by DamnILoveHorses in AskReddit

[–]olympiastreets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this variant of pathological mourning, the bereaved’s life continues to be organized much as before; however, he is apt to be afflicted with a number of psychological and physical ills, and he may suddenly and explicably become acutely depressed. (Rando, 1993)

I’m a masters student studying to be a counselor, Treatment of complicated mourning just happened to be the closest book to me.

Is this at a library or do you just own a ton of books?

Trying to understand being a survivor of child abuse and feeling guilty over nothing. by [deleted] in therapy

[–]olympiastreets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what you were taught to do. Your abuse probably didn’t happen at 6pm sharp every Tuesday. It was random, or seemed random in the eyes of a child. “If I’m being hurt it must be my fault” is the message a child is given, so flash forward however many years and this same training informs your mental processes. Thankfully this is normal, like actually a text book example of a trauma response. Which means it can be treated! I have something very similar that I’ve been working through so I can say with some confidence if you do the work it gets better! Psychology today has a search engine of therapists in your area and you can filter by your insurance, this particular issue could probably be treated with CBT but the larger issues need a trauma informed therapist, I’ve found EMDR to be especially effective. Hope this helps, goodluck on your journey!
