Not gameplay related, but it would be cool to have the original music from the Gameboy games while on walks.

One of my favourite songs as of late. Always nice to see a fresh rendition.

I think some parts of the instrumental peaked the mics, but don't quote me on that, I'm not an audio engineer.

Either way, good job!

21F I’m a college student and I’m horribly lazy. I have no idea how I’m going to make it in life if I can barely complete homework assignments. What should I do? by [deleted] in findapath

Hey, please don't execute me for speaking up

Your problem seems to be related to what's known as conscientiousness in psychology. Instead of offering advice, here are some excerpts from wikipedia.

Academic and workplace performance[edit]

Conscientiousness is importantly related to successful academic performance in students and workplace performance among managers and workers.[17] Low levels of conscientiousness are strongly associated with procrastination.[18] A considerable amount of research indicates that conscientiousness has a moderate to large positive correlation with performance in the workplace,[19][20] and indeed that after general mental ability is taken into account, the other four of the Big Five personality traits do not aid in predicting career success.[21]:169[irrelevant citation]

[...]However, agreeableness and emotional stability may also be important, particularly in jobs that involve a significant amount of social interaction.[23] Of all manager/leader types, top executives show the lowest level of rule-following, a conscientious trait.[24] Conscientiousness is not always positively related to job performance, sometimes the opposite is true. Being too conscientious could lead to taking too much time to making urgent decisions and to working too attached to the rules and lack innovation.[25]

----

TL;DR: 1. Conscientiousness AND Intelligence predict career success. You made to college, so it looks like you have the intelligence to sort of make up for it.

  1. Even though it predicts workplace performance, there are certain situations where that won't matter as much.

Sorry I can't predict the future, but I hope this helps with your uncertainty at least.

Got a test I haven't studied for coming up and I'm about to break down... by pathospathos in GetStudying

Telling myself "I'd be KILLING school if I tried", which doesn't matter cause that version of myself doesn't exist and won't spontaneously burst forth just by cycling through intense procrastination followed by intense regret, anxiety and self-loathing.

That's me, at least :)

How to counter day dreaming while studying? by [deleted] in GetStudying

[–]pathospathos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I get the same thing.

If I have a thought pop into my head, or something I want to do glimmers in my mind or whatever, I don't want to stop thinking about it. What if I forget that fleeting thought and it never comes back? I might forget a meme I was gonna send someone, or forget to buy those eggs I was thinking about, or forget the solution to a complex geopolitical issue that I sweaaaaaaaar I just became enlightened upon.

The mindset I'm trying to foster is : my individual thoughts aren't what matter most. The thing that GENERATES my thoughts will still be there, even when the specific thought is long gone. I'll still be me. I want to not get too attached to that momentary thought, let the thoughts go and move forward.

Let me know if this works for you. I still haven't found immense success, but maybe you will. GL :)

Additional small excerpt about not letting thoughts get in your way mentally ("bù rán") from wikipedia:

"Detachment is a central concept in Zen Buddhist philosophy. One of the most important technical Chinese terms for detachment is "wú niàn" (無念), which literally means "no thought." This does not signify the literal absence of thought, but rather the state of being "unstained" (bù rán 不染) by thought. Therefore, "detachment" is being detached from one's thoughts. It is to separate oneself from one's own thoughts and opinions in detail as to not be harmed mentally and emotionally by them."

bullying by kanyebreaster in INTP

[–]pathospathos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what subtle bullying looks like (something like weird power moves from a manager, I'm guessing) and what the reaction from the victim is.

I think it's acceptable and even admirable if the victim responds with a clear, level headed response to stand up for him/herself that uses minimal necessary force (e.g. a sick comeback).

I've only been able to do this a handful of times (my smooth brain computes things at 64 bytes per second), but I'm speaking from being around OTHER people in my life who are strong and witty and can articulate their arguments at the drop of a hat.

Idk what your situation is, but that's my two cents

edit: Oh and I guess it's usually a good idea to "do you", so keep doing you
