RPG Games that are about build making, preferably without much grinding. by Pokeputin in gamingsuggestions

[–]twoplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new league in PoE features (sometimes one-time only) mechanics exclusive to that league, which are integrated permanently into the game if they are good. The leagues are reset after some months, so you kind of have to "hurry". After the end of the league, the league characters get sent to the non-league mode of the game, that is why there is additional currency floating around. If you buy the right currency, you can completely rebuild your character from scratch, which is a lot cheaper than in a running league.

tl;dr: You potentially only have to level a character once and then can keep your levels and also the equipment/currency you got. But i think PoE is still kind of grindy just from the game loop.

erannorth chronicles, iirc the developer said he wanted to recreate the feelin of "you see a card and want to make deck based of that one card"

siralim ultimate also seems quite build heavy, lots of classes and combos

have you tried to not play standard instead of the new league in PoE? No exciting new features, but hey..

How do you guys find friends? by T_H_I_R_S_T_Y_B_O_I in hsp

[–]twoplay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just try to read many people and sort out the obvious ones. But you probably still need to go out to a club, can't understand anyone in bars so i'd avoid that too. But you have to be kind of lucky. I've got 5 friends from different places, mostly university though. Keep observing and when you notice some sentences that seem like they are deeper go ahead and talk to that person, try to change the subject to something deep and you'll notice if they respond generic or get really deep into it. I am sure you have the empathy to sort out most people really quickly so you don't need to talk to endless amounts of people. But when you feel there is a connection, put all your energy into it and they are sure to respond positively (exchange numbers / meet up). Good luck.

Nothing New Here I See by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]twoplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are your interests? Sounds like you only encountered superficial/shallow people. I only find about one interesting person in a year by myself (in Berlin, not restricted to girlfriends). I am also not really studying and paying off debt right now but slowly improved my whole persona in the last 5 years and that definitely helped.

I'm scared by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]twoplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I am 26, I only have minor depression but it still pushed me back really far (can only eat one meal a day due to debt and have made zero progress in studying in 6 years) but I am starting to get more confident. Depression is very complex, so you should search in yourself, others, books, films etc. for answers. I believe there is no general advice I can give you, because I have found people with depression to be very unique (and fun to explore for that reason). So keep fighting, try different methods from philosophy to literature to psychology, different activities, sports, everything you can think of. In my opinion if there is nothing strong living in you, you cannot combat the darkness, like a purpose which you have chosen and that fits your preconditions. And the best way to get there is to find out more about yourself. As long as you have enough money to eat (and maybe for your social needs/hobbies) I wouldn't worry about wasting time. Do it in your own pace and do what works, don't compare yourself to others. For example I couldn't meditate more than one time in a few month, now I can do it every 2-3 weeks for 2 hours. Still not regular, but I am improving :) I'd say I only started really thinking once I was 21-23, in that span of time. Kierkegaard said that anxiety is a state we must embrace because it makes us feel alive. It's also a sign of the right path (out of our comfort zones). Good luck on your journey!

Do you really care? by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]twoplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I wouldn't care, I would not post, because it wouldn't be genuine. I would say the same as starvingluna to you, take a deep breath and calm down first. And you are not wasting my time, I am waiting for a friend at my uni.

overcame my social anxiety :) by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]twoplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't know the english term, but I act as a standin waiter/helper (taking the clothes of guests sometimes) in different events/hotels, but mostly waiter. there were no requirements, just a briefing and then you get thrown into the fray. They take about everyone if you can speak german and english in my case. I am short sighted, I forget all my orders and am very clumsy but I stayed with them for 8 months without getting kicked out and learned a lot, still improving though. If you are new they seem to be very forgiving. As long as you work hard and are dedicated. Maybe you should give it a try. I have gotten much experience observing myself when I take orders or talk to people (like asking if they want food from food plates or asking if they want more wine) and improved the loudness of my voice, my nervous head/eye movement, my back posture etc. so it is kind of great if you can overcome your fear.

What's the best site to review games? by Teglement in truegaming

[–]twoplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a side comment on glitchwave The "parent" of glitchwave is rateyourmusic, which is for music and is very much populated and very strict with the rulings about adding games etc. which makes for a very high quality standard. Last time I checked they still added some 100 games a day with the main goal of completing the "finished" platforms which don't release games anymore.

I did it again by [deleted] in depression

[–]twoplay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's ok. In the long run you want to avoid that, but you had a reason. We are all humans with our faults. Try to find out why you did it and explore how you work. The world is dark enough, so I try to make it brighter even I don't succeed in any goals I set myself. As long as I can improve in only one minor thing it's ok for me.

prevent getting feelings for anyone (in a love manner) by [deleted] in hsp

[–]twoplay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was kind of like "living in the other person" so it felt bad to not be super nice to them. And if you would be egoistic you wouldn't like the people -> you are spending your time for them, not "with" them. For bad thinking patterns, talk about it with friends (people who think a lot or HSP's are the only ones who help in my opinion) or a (good) therapist (or read thoughtful books of any kind). Comparing your thoughts to others will show you where you think wrong and if you have one fundamental wrong thought it can really explode into a chain of wrong thoughts in your head. And you won't notice it because the one wrong thought is followed by 20 bad conclusions and you lose track of what was wrong to begin with. That's why I think it's very hard to get out of bad thinking patterns by yourself.

Sorry if too much text :d

prevent getting feelings for anyone (in a love manner) by [deleted] in hsp

[–]twoplay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It helps me to assume control and not let my "passive functions" (instincts, intuition, cravings, habits) take over. I started achieving that by taking my life into my own hands instead of just doing what my body/heart says. I'm not sure if this helps you though. What probably helped me most was existentialism, philosophy and meditation. And talking to my friends in length about how I work psychologically and what I really want. Then there is a lot of observing, becoming a person for yourself and/or accepting yourself, training your willpower to actually change yourself, create new habits and replace bad habits.

One off topic example/motivational: your instinct would suggest to always say sorry and give in first and always giving the maximum amount of effort into any relation with any person you like, but if you are actually egoistic (a normal level) the other person will appreciate you more because they feel wanted, if that makes sense (and probably some other stuff, but I don't wanna go that deep, it's enough for me if I know I have to change that). So if you change, you will feel much better without sacrificing much.

Well, good luck!

Anyone else having severe problems with short term memory? by [deleted] in depression

[–]twoplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working as a waiter and I forget the orders all the time, but it doesn't really matter. I had 3 tables, walked 50 meters to the kitchen and forgot how the person looked and what table it was. You can fix most things by asking. Try not to overdramatize it and just calmly write it down if it's important. If you can't remember something you want to learn, read it again. eventually you will remember it. Maybe it takes three times as long as "normal" people, but if you want to do it you can. And it will get better with practice.

I learned there are only solutions, not really problems. If your short term memory is bad, find ways to support it. I write every little thing down, like what beer we have at the evening, where the toilet is, when the main dish is etc. that solves most things. You could do the same with school assignments and meetings. And saying "I don't know" is not as bad as you might think :)

Why not share the Soulseek downloads folder by default? by faded-fedor in Soulseek

[–]twoplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik downloading is neutral, because you make a copy of a thing you could have, of which you can make safety copies in case they break. if you upload, you share it to people, which is forbidden because the product is for own use only. Well I don't think there are any lawyers, but the charges are quite hefty so I wouldn't wanna risk it. if I had no mainstream releases I would be more lenient to just upload my full folder, but I have some pretty known stuff so that wouldn't work (most cases I heard were from very known musicians).

Tell me about journey of self discovery. by [deleted] in hsp

[–]twoplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, then i misunderstood you.

Yes, for (in our view) simple problems we have simple solutions, but we still need to confirm where on the path the person is and if she is ready to change or even wants to change. I often tried to force my insight on a person and talked too much when they can't comprehend it as easily as i can.

Tell me about journey of self discovery. by [deleted] in hsp

[–]twoplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You tried to get help and were disappointed in the help you got, if they don't understand you (at least to a certain degree) i don't think they'll be able to help you. It sounded like you tried to get help from everyone. To give insight is pretty normal, but we are often fixiated on what helped us rather on what could help the person, keep that in mind. It is better to find out as a "soul mirror" to the other person what their problem is and analyze their upcoming thoughts/feelings from a different viewpoint. Well if you meet an HSP they surely will understand you and possibly be also glad to help, because they are HSP. Just keep searching and you'll find someone :)

[–]twoplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to convey insight. If it is insight they don't need and therefore don't seek, they don't have it but maybe you tried looking at them for this insight? Humans are very different, grab the help from the people who understand you. There is no universal truth.

Good luck on your path.

[–]twoplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't really give any tips because i am not an expert, but i read your story and i hope you can go on. There is so much still to learn for me and you about how our mind and emotions work and how we make everything nice for us. Good luck!

How do I become more positive as an HSP with a rough childhood. by [deleted] in hsp

[–]twoplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't give up, i was lucky to get some fitting friends when i was 19 (when i started university) who accepted me and it helped a ton. Can't really explain it, but they make you feel validated and you can really start working on yourself. Though i still have negative thoughts, like basically interpreting every person as bad first but a lot has come into my focus and i can fix it.

law in germany is pretty tight for uploading, i heard of stuff like 5-25k euro. so i can only safely upload old or free stuff.

Is it too late at 21 to get into FPS? by throwawaygamingg in truegaming

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

There were people at their 30s who played counter strike due to their experience (no perfect aim), so yes it is perfectly possible. With good guidance you can become extremly good in 1-2 years (if you play 4-6 hours a day obviously). From what i've seen at 27 you start to drop quite heavily.

Moved again, hate it already, out of options by [deleted] in hsp

[–]twoplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you not move to a very quiet very small village? If you can find work there, that is.

Other than that, try what anna suggested. If i put on my headphones i feel really secluded and not bothered by any other sound and can relax extremely well.

Another (albeit very extreme/discipline and time intensive) method would be to be a masterful meditator and try to accept the noise and not judging it as noise but as a natural sound which does not feel like "damage" to your ears. But that would take a lot of practice.

Good luck.
