the DARE method is basically step-by-step exposure therapy that teaches you to retrain your thoughts on anxiety, to mock the "what ifs" and turn the anxious energy into something productive.

Been good so far. I was worried it was going to be hokey but it isnt, at least not yet.

I've been dealing with pretty constant health anxiety since my mom got diagnosed with cancer a year ago. She's fine now, but it caused me to spiral into worrying I have some hidden disease thats just a ticking time bomb.

Hypochondria is an idiot, you KNOW Its illogical but worry anyway.

Been listening to the audiobook for the DARE method of dealing with anxiety; Defuse, Accept/Allow, Run towards, Engage.

Been implementing it the past few days and it did actually help pull me out of a bit of a spiral, today in particular.

"What if...?"

Naw man, "So what?"

Nancy and Sluggo have found a pair of sunglasses and they are walking side by side with their heads together so they both can wear the sunglasses at the same time.

Having a blast with Hyrule Warriors age of imprisonment, it feels like the most well combined a Zelda and Warriors game have ever been

And uh, Nintendo, my guys, take note on how every cutscene is voiced please. Lol

(for the record i've beaten the NES game and its easier by far, because while the bosses ARE tough, you NEVER feel like luck is REQUIRED to win.)

yes im fucking salty

RPGs are supposed to be about strategizing and this game did that well up to a point but now there is no strategy beyond "keep dying and restarting and hope the luck required for the narrow path to victory works this time" and that's just...

well fuck, it makes a game bad.

06.11.2025 02:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Also, on the easiest fucking difficulty, a boss shouldn't be able to deal TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY damage to a character with 300hp, and the REQUIRED STRATEGY to beat him is to use an ability that has a CHANCE of reflecting damage, so you keep dying and restarting hoping it procs.

That's NOT fun.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm putting Dragon Quest 1+2 HD2D down, possibly for a long while

at roughly the halfway point in DQ1, the bosses start more-or-less requiring good RNG to beat. You HAVE to get lucky with things proccing and status attacks missing you.

RNG isn't fun in an RPG.

After a night of dealing with an anxiety strike courtesy of hypochondria, I open the Dark Tower 4 to resume reading, and this is the first page after where I left off last night

Eddie gets me, he just knows.

Then I'll look up "symptoms of anxiety" and i LITERALLY HAVE LIKE ALL OF THEM. Every single symptom of anxiety. And a KNOWN HISTORY OF HYPOCHONDRIA. I've been DIAGNOSED WITH GENERAL ANXIETY DISORDER in the past.

I will hit every single symptom. And my brain will look at it, and just go:

Hypochondria is fucking stupid!

I can look up symptoms of deadly diseases and see I very loosely and vaguely have noted early symptoms, really generic shit like "tired in the day" and "digestive issues" and start panicking that I probably have some deadly disease and the clock is ticking.

Its our third winter with Hekr, you'd think I'd be used to the brumation by now

I'm not! I miss him lol

I miss his dopey little face coming to the glass as if saying "where's my food, hoomin??" and the way he'd eat, bask, then come out in the afternoon for some window time

I miss my little buddy!

(For the record I don't really care about sales numbers, aside from the fact that a console that's selling well and can run modern games WILL see more support come to it, which is exciting!)

Dang. between early June and Sept 30th, the Switch 2 sold over 10 million units

(For the record, between early MARCH and Sept 30th of 2017, the Switch 1 sold about 7.5 million)

Switch 2 is doing great, glad to see. Means more devs will be eager to get their games on it :)

brumation time, this pic is from early yesterday (he still opens his eyes when the morning light turns on) but overall he's been in there 2 or 3 days now

He pooped, ate a few bites of veg, and basked for a few hours before going in though, so I'm gonna trust him to do his thing

Sleep well fella <3
