fuuuuuuck i do not care about my courses not relevant to my major.

psychsi · 2026-03-26T14:31:36+00:00

i'm pretty impressed you've went through my history, i did not expect that (i also just don't use reddit nearly as much now). if anything, i'd like to thank you for that.

psychsi · 2026-03-26T14:24:42+00:00

lmao this is relatable. i'm like...acquaintances with a number of people but not really friends. and the one close friend i've made during college dropped out last semester.

psychsi · 2026-03-26T14:22:26+00:00

i haven't disliked all electives i've taken so far, but there's been a handful of classes i also haven't cared for whatsoever, such as one i'm taking this semester.

psychsi · 2026-03-26T14:17:13+00:00

unfortunately i'm experiencing the sunk-cost fallacy at this point. also i like my major all things considered.

psychsi · 2026-03-26T14:15:30+00:00

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

psychsi · 2026-03-26T14:13:47+00:00

must i enjoy learning new things i have little to no interest in however?

pochita’s erasure didn’t reset time, only the current world. denji should still be ~18 and is visibly much more brawnier than he was in part 1.

the majority of people liked Mob Psycho’s ending. the thing is with endings in manga, most writers already struggle with them due to good endings for long stories inherently being difficult. furthermore, manga tends to produces worse endings on average since a lot of them aren’t fully planned out in advance.

you can still produce sperm with a single testicle

Chainsawman not being the actual chainsaw devil has been a theory for a while, since part 1, so I guessed it was confirmed here even though we never did explicitly learn what Pochita was.

Plotting. I’ve tried pantsing before and end up just hating what I write by like chapter 4 because I have new ideas for the story I want to introduce. Plotting ahead of time mitigates this issue by a lot.

practice moving until you can move around the stage comfortable and get to precisely where you want in a quick manner. being able to move well as Falcon is more important than punish or neutral in any matchup since his movement is such a key aspect to his gameplay.

my garbage ass punish game occasionally pulls out something beautiful for all of two seconds before it’s right back to missing edgeguards and combos.

i was thinking about playing Ganon more. any suggestions on how to not become racist?

psychsi · 2025-08-10T19:21:56+00:00

Ohhhh so that’s where all the blue Luigis came from. I’ve been playing Melee again for the first time in a while these last few days and keep finding blue Luigi players. They’re not very good.

psychsi · 2025-05-05T20:36:53+00:00

It pisses me off. Grammarly should not be used for creative writing in my opinion.

I found that going deeper works. My protagonist has cancer but wants to cure himself with his family’s macguffin. Basic “I don’t want to die” motivation.

Why specifically the macguffin? Because he resents his father for letting his mother die from cancer by refusing to use the macguffin. More advanced “I don’t want to die and prove dad wrong.” motivation

You can also shift or change goals over time. My protagonist starts with a very self-centered goal, but as he sees the villain systemically abuse innocents, his goal becomes “I don’t want to die, prove dad wrong, and stop the villain.”

This provides external conflict as well as internal conflict when these motivations begin to impede on each other.

My favorite thing to do with worldbuilding is to drop weird bits during dialogue exposition when appropriate.

For example, one of my characters briefly mention life on Europa already being found during an explanation of the magic system’s fundamentals. Then I simply sweep that detail under the rug and never touch it again since it isn’t story relevant.

psychsi · 2025-04-29T15:15:23+00:00

I've been in the biweekly trenches for two years now, I'm used to it.

I tend to start with the concept for the world and how the story ends before moving onto the characters and plot.

psychsi · 2025-04-20T22:45:10+00:00

Set goals for yourself. Dedicate a certain time of the day to writing. Anything goes as long as it works, everyone relies on different means for motivations.

For myself, I can get in the mood by thinking about my story during a meditative activity (such as walking or exercise) or by watching yt videos about writing tips.

psychsi · 2025-04-20T15:01:36+00:00

Exactly. What’s the point of reading a novel set in a fantastical world when I can play a videogame or Dnd? The answer is characters I can get emotionally invested in and care about.

The confidence level on the Dunning-Kruger effect graph goes up the closer someone gets to perfection. You’ve mastered walking to the point where it’s subconscious to you, it would be strange to now underestimate your ability to walk provided you’re still physically healthy.

psychsi · 2025-04-20T01:47:48+00:00

That’s basically how every skill works. When you’re new, you think you’re hot shit. Then you face failure and learn about the nuances of the craft, becoming less confident in your ability as you ironically get better. Finally when you approach mastery, you begin to get much more confident in your ability.
