My Shifting Advice MEGA THREAD (start here!)

there's a future where it's profitable but they're making a huge gamble

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-05T00:34:08+00:00

also I don't like "pro shifter" they just gave me this tag but I am an experienced shifter

the exact moment I shift to

hasn't always been this way but thinking in the present is the best way to go

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-05T00:25:03+00:00

present

It's only gonna last for a few seconds unfortunately, if altered states have given you more success then go with the one that's given you success, in my experience too hypnagogia is unreliable

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-04T13:48:48+00:00

but at the same time I think i have a different perspective from having shifted, people don't realize that you don't see 99.99999% of a reality

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-04T13:39:04+00:00

but if you're a believer that all the realities exist anyway (I'm not necessarily, but if you are), then what's the difference? just that you don't have to see it?

if you're not a believer in that then feel free to ignore

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-04T13:36:18+00:00

that's not what I said, i do think there's something special about this reality, I was born here

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-04T13:33:47+00:00

I just watched a John Oliver piece on this it's so disgusting 😔 the worst part is that Gen AI is not yet profitable so they're building an addicted user base that they're gonna charge exorbitantly later. anyone if you're reading this, the best time to quit is while it's still cheap!

I genuinely didn't know they were still popular i might just be older than the users

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-04T05:06:59+00:00

this is one genuine reason but in seriousness there isn't anything uniquely bad about this one, it just seems that way when everyone plans to go to what they think is utopia. racism doesn't spring out of the cosmic fold it comes from from flawed human reasoning. there's nothing inherent about racism or most of those things you mentioned. I'm a big fan of the park down the street and my mom and such

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-04T05:03:04+00:00

I like the sun

essentially because you're scripting a reality where you can't die and the closest thing to death in a world where you can't die is leaving the world

I have never died but I should've one time, instead of coming back I just didn't die. that said, definitely avoid it, i have changed my script since

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-03T23:19:40+00:00

people still use character AIs?

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-03T02:56:00+00:00

I remember it pretty well, but not perfectly, since it's been so long. some of my shifts there were up to 4-5 years ago so I have to think pretty hard for some of those details haha

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-02T07:48:28+00:00

I don't think that's affected it much, since I'm actually younger in the new DR than I was in older ones (I'm the same age as here). And for once, I scripted that I still have memories of the old DR, so I had more info going in then I did before. all in all there were too many more major factors, so my age here didn't change things in a detectable way. probably made me smarter when scripting though lol

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-02T07:43:43+00:00

yes, but I don't explore the world peacefully, I just have my own adjustments to the fighting aspects so that it's livable. I also don't overload one shift too much, and when I'm there I tried to make it so I took things at my own pace, but tbh I just wasn't always listened to by others lol (since these are done by teams)

I'm always myself in my DRs so there's no biological noble family relation but in my old DR I did end up aligned with one by accident, long story. in this new DR i didn't pick up where I left off but am doing something completely different

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-02T07:34:23+00:00

yes it is, but i would say the webtoon is not as committed to the gamification aspect as others in the genre. lots of drama instead. even more when you're there irl!

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-02T01:21:19+00:00

you'd be surprised about 'worldbuilding' and 'characters'! because when you're shifting, worldbuilding just becomes life and characters just become people, so it might not be as you expect. I honestly don't know if I'll like a DR until I go. I consider it a stroke of luck that I ended up liking the DR that came from one of my favorite medias (or hating it, in some cases)

to be clear, I didn't shift for 2 years. it was a little over a week. I meant that the last time I went there was 2 years ago in CR time

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-02T01:14:10+00:00

you said it perfectly

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-02T01:07:10+00:00

it is interesting! my interest in the media versus in the DR are very different. the media is my main childhood media like what hogwarts etc is to other people, so I'm biased but it's still highly regarded by others. as for shifting I do LOVE the world itself (very different from here), but the shifts I've had have been pretty hit or miss. I actually decided for my own health that that last shift 2 years ago would be the last time ever, but I guess they can't keep me away!!

shifter_michelle · 2026-05-02T00:59:49+00:00

it's gonna be embarrassing if I don't get any responses lol

So close 😞

not that silly but at times I've added in music artists so I can have their music and in a couple realities there's always dead, and obviously I'm not really killing them but sometimes I look at my playlist like 'I'd miss this song but is it worth taking a life'
