How do I enjoy Factorio?

Serious question, i played it for around five hours a few days ago and haven't touched it since. It just makes me feel stressed an anxious. It feels like im just giving myself more chores to do rather than progress. Its like one of the most well reviewed games on Steam up there with Terraria (And I fucking LOVE terraria). Genuinely i want to enjoy this game, i want to like watching items go on belts and be made into useful things but I don't know how. It feels like I have to enter a college class when it comes to understanding things.

everything I do just feels so inefficient

It feels much different than something normally difficult. i fuckin love the Fromsoftware games like dark souls,Bloodborne,etc but that's different. i can throw myself at Smelter Demon or Guardian Ape as many times as I want and still somewhat enjoy myself since I have something to look at and characterize as this big thing to overcome

but Factorio is one of those games that is basically just a thinly veiled allegory for a Programming language (See Baba Is You) , so I just feel stupid for even trying since its less about beating something and more about addressing my own latent stupidity.

#factorio #to a certain extent i know that i just have to play the game more #but thats the advice for literally every single game 'just keep playing you'll get better the more you do it' #and yeah thats probably a good idea #but i want to enjoy my time here not feel like im doing my taxes and taking notes on hours of youtube videos that might help #whatever

Aoetic desecration and S.O.S both having this rising section of guitar, but in AD it ends after just a few rounds whereas in S.O.S it just keeps climbing and climbing and climbing higher and higher; and the way that section version of that guitar section puts me in mind of the visuals of Nathan climbing that hill during Knubbler's training, making it feel as if S.O.S is triumphant not effortlessly but with great effort and exertion to keep rising and not falling- because failing or giving up is easier sometimes but that doesn't make it the right thing to do, same as sometimes persevering and succeeding and doing the right thing is sometimes hard fucking work but that doesn't make it worthless or not something you should do.

This isn't a hidden theme, its just textual it's literally what Nathan's arc entails, i'm not saying anything big nor smart lol- but i do just like how narratively the instrumentals of the movies music drive the movies themes home too in this way! It adds so much more to feel and sink your teeth into when it comes to this plotline about him having to put the effort in to be a better person and to grow and do the right thing instead of just resorting to giving up or falling back on old habits and what he knows and does best!!

#jay talkin #metalocalypse #army of the doomstar #aotd spoilers #i care him so fucking much i do i cant deny it and this movie is my fuckin everything #im so tired i got no idea if im making sense rn im rlly just saying shit. anyway. aotd fucking good #n also hey w the themes around nathans wellbeing in this movie i also fuckin connect to like #IDK. IN A METAPHORICAL SENSE BEING A GUY IN A SIMILAR POSITION B4. LESS APOCALYPTIC BUT YKNOW #yyouuuu can see some of this to be abt recovery to and doing better and it makes it feel like. acknowleged that YEAH ITS FUCKING HARD #and i like that triumphant feeling of 'we have to keep fighting. its fucking hard and youll want to give up but we have to' IDK ITS GOOD #DUNNO. s'not intentional probably but i can see smth thats meaningful to me personally in there #not coherent enough to figure this personal feeling out rn maybe ill ruminate and type it out another time. im tired.

i agree Echo should get the handprint back on his armor

but what if... what if.........hear me out?...........

he doesn't get Rex's handprint, but Omega's

whaddya think TBB fam? 😏👉👈 (explanation in my tags)

#omega #echo #the bad batch #star wars #''why'' you might ask? ok here's my thought process #he kept rex's handprint from rishi moon because rex saved them and because he looks up to rex right? #rex was his hero and inspiration and mentor and he followed that man towards the jaws of death every day #and he'll continue to do so every day until his last #BUT imo at this point they're very much equals now #rex has taught echo everything he knows by this point #in fact rex is probably looking at echo as an inspiration and a hero in return #and as we've seen echo can very much stand on his own as a solider and especially as a leader #like yeah im sure echo still looks up to rex and all #but who else is he probably drawing inspiration from these days? #who's also doing a lot of good heroic deeds? who else is inspiring him to keep helping people and fighting the good fight? #omega omega and omega #her handprint is less of a ''nod to my mentor and hero'' and moreso a reminder and inspiration as to why they keep fighting #but that's because ECHO is now the one mentoring and leading people and being THEIR hero #plus of course omega's handprint would be a cute heartfelt symbol of their growing bond <3 #idk that''s just an idea thats been knocking around in my head for awhile :)))

in general, sometimes i really wonder what sort of impression i make on this place

#some told me (ily muach) but this sort of question do appear sometimes #like i know my personality and such #but like writing wise #and like from things i do here i really wonder how people see me #probably because im also new here and a bit tmi but this is like the most active i have been in socmed after quite a l o n g while #everyone here has been nothing but kind to me tho ily everyone #im glad im here hahaha #maybe one day i will talk about how happy i am whenever i talk to someone here #as a shy person it really means a lot to me haha #okay this is getting embarassing but yeah that question does exist #babblings #it's been 3 work days right so yeah let me be noisy this once again #or maybe i should make another blog that i treat like a priv acc and i dump everything there #hey thats a good idea actually #there are many things i want to say but all in all im really happy to be here. thank you everyone #i am still learning on how to express it and about interaction all in all as i am still as much of as a grandma as when i first start #but there is that. ily everyone #just putting this out here for a bit haha. might as well

doing the mental equivalent scrabbling my legs in the air like a beetle on its back because i am thinking about the concept of cindy piss and fuck taking care of cuno and c. and i love it so much but i dont have anything significant to add to it so the idea is just being. rotated in my mind while i flail for something to say about it because i want to talk about it but i cant think of anything. to say.

#just!!!!!!!! pointing at that idea!!!!!!! really good!!!!!!!!!! #fuck's dad works in la delta so it can be assumed. hes got a rich dad hes from a well off family #we dont know what piss's home life is like #cindy of course knows what its like to be homeless so thinking about her seeing those kids #and her tough heart kinda breaks for them #cuno and c sleeping in the coal room...... waugh....... #piss and fuck being whipped into shape a little bit by cindy to help take care of the kids #because they want her approval so so soooooo bad #cuno: faggots are whipped by the bitch c. faggots getting fucking whipped #c: yeah cuno faggots getting whipped! #of course cuno and c get something painted on the back of their jackets. #cuno gets city of rage or something honestly i think that would be rad as fuck. #girlchild revolution boychild freedom etc etc. thats what one of them conceptualizes #probably piss or someone coming up with an actual good idea #cuno immediately blows it off nah fag thats boring as fuck cuno wants a name that kicks ass. not like fucking. pissfaggot #it hurts eric's feelings a little bit. #lmao okay well i guess i ended up doing what i said i couldnt do in the post #go me! #its easier to talk in tags

Linktober 2022: Day 15 - Weapon

we just going to ignore the fact that bapy zelda had access to a bunch of ancient weapons or...

#linktober #linktober 2022 #loz #age of calamity #terrako #but like #who thought it was a good idea #to let a tiny child (the princess of the realm) #build her own robot #with death lazers and a sword and axe #with only her mom as supervision #yeah thats probably very safe #also I headcanon that after eggboi jumped back in time #anyone in the original world who remebered him #like rhoam or whatever #forgot him #bc he doesn't exist in that world anymore #i guess rhoam wouldn't remember him #bc he's dead #but like zelda wouldn't be able to #terrako is not an orb #he is an egg #an eggular little man #also I messed up the scheduling oops #it was bound to happen eventually #pancake's art #loz art #loz fanart

starting to get worried abt this site's userbase and their determination to boil every evil in the world down to "tiktok did it"

#sorry that post thats going around thats like 'well nobody had a REASON to be worried about other social media so we're different' #REALLY? nobody had reason to be worried about facebook? about TUMBLR IN 2013?? #or the idea that lack of media literacy is "the tiktokification' of media #bc as we all know the tumblr teen generation was SO media literate in our day right? this is SO new right? #(that was me being sarcastic because almost the exact problems people complain about w tt were also true here) #avpost #i do think the app itself sucks. probably worse than any other social media out there. #but im kind of getting tired of boiling complicated society wide issues down to 'this one app that im not on is the true enemy. ' #with a HEAVY side of 'grrr kids these days.' #there are actually other sources of evil in the world and also a good chunk of the stuff you guys complain about tt for are non issues #like ~stealing tumblr quirky culture~ . please get a hobby who fucking cares if tiktok girlies post about mushrooms and soup. #but yeah more importantly a lot of the issues being attributed to tt are much larger and older than one single bad app.

well folks its been a good two months of denial but i am finally ready to admit that the reason everything sucks is because of major depression relapse. if i werent so depressed id make this everyone elses problem by projecting it on to blorbo but alas

#taylor.txt #incapable of making this not a joke but i do have to say it kinda sucks #like obviously ive never been 100% free of my depression probably on account of it developing when i was a Child and then not getting any #treatment or even really any sympathy for until i was in my late teens but. BUT. even my historic mental breakdown 2 years ago didnt really #feel like depression. like yeah i was sad and hopeless but this is very different. sad and lethargic more so. simply too tired to be lost i #despair. which is i guess a good thing because it means its easier for me to fix. its just that right now im kinda stuck in it #i dont know if id say ive experienced major depression since my first year of uni #thats why ive been denying it all this time despite it being pretty…glaringly obvious #anyway. good news is im meeting with the prof of one of the classes im currently failing this week #and now i guess i kind of have an idea of what to tell her because all this time ive been struggling and i havent understood why #the content makes sense. i understand whats going on. but my memory has gotten so bad recently and the energy required to do my assignments #has been way too much. and im past my limit on that at this point unfortunately. like yeah shes probably gonna tell me well that sucks but #theres nothing i can do to save your grade and thats fine but at least i know even if it was a Me Problem that i let myself get depressed #again in the first place being actively depressed is a major barrier that i at least know isnt 100% me being an idiot with a bad attitude #i will struggle to the finish line but i will make it there. even if i fail a class or two in the process #and regardless of if it gets better i will finally go see my therapist again in the new year </3 something obviously led to this so whos to #say it wouldnt happen again if i just let that fester. whatever it is #also writing has been tough for the same reason school has been tough but its still happening and i will do more of it when school is over #i PROMMY

#it turns out that watching saw while snacking and knitting is indeed very good for your mental health #my body knew what i needed lmao #i got so many rounds done so i feel productive too and the irony of knitting a red and white scarf in the round... #...(meaning as a spiral - helical knitting) is not lost on me but the hidden spirals of the knitting project came after the spirals on saw #((its yoko's cowl from gurren lagann lol)) #idk how im gonna block this thing bc it has wild floats showing on the front so im gonna need like 60 pencils to slide in there... #...before i start pinning it down and spraying it and idk how thats gonna go but it 100 percent needs to be blocked #tension? who the fuck knows what that is lmao #also the floats were a bad idea but like i didnt wanna knit 10 bobbins in the round for my first time knitting w bobbins #theyd tangle every time the project twists lmao but whatever im making the extra stripes caused by the floats to work #i wasnt sure how to stagger them in a way that wouldnt look weird and i had already unknit the project like 5 times so i committed #speaking of its 240 stitches each round lol its killer but its going so whatever. #im at about 6.5 inches and i want probably around 14 (im gonna connect the top and bottom to make it reversible/hide the back) #so yeah my night was better than the day i had thankfully #im so tired tho lol #i havent worked out yet today and i dont know if im gonna force myself to lol hashtag no days off lololol #ill see how i feel after i brush my teeth if im up for it i guess but im pretty tired from being mentally stressed all day #anyway good night ill prob #delete later / /

wow my artistic confidence just skyrocketed okay good to know

#amicus.txt #for a really long time now ive felt really low abt my art bc ive been dealing with a lot of wrist pain when i draw traditionally #which has p much been the only medium i draw in #but since using a mouse is much less intensive for me than a pencil and paper i figured i could probably do somethiing with that right #i had gotten the idea to just use the polygon tool on my art program since thats what i would do to digitalize my trad art #at least for the colors and stuff #i was like 'its gonna require pretty much learning how to draw again from scratch since its entirely different #but if i put in the practice and the time and be patient i might be able to do it' #but i was putting that off for SO long. really difficult to get started on practice like that yknow #until like 10 minutes ago. where i was just like 'ok whatever its gonna look like shit but lets just try to get a feel for it' #so i just use the polygon tool thing and try and make one of my ocs #and then i took a step back and like. #holy shit that looks adorable? wait thats really good? #like yeah theres a ton of room for improvement obviously but like. holy shit this might actually be possible way sooner than i thought #“this” being. making my webcomic

He is like an angel to me <3

#akira nishikiyama #every time i see a gifset of this scene and it's THIS quick moment JUST before he slicks his hair back THIS to me is his pinnacle of beauty #look at my beautiful bloodstained koi. succumbing to the darkness but honestly he held out longer than i would so we gotta respect that #also Matsushige. my guy. my dude. why did you think talking shit to a guy JUST after his sister died was a good idea. ya shoulda run #but also thank fuck ya didnt cause i fucking hated ya and im glad pretty koi her fucking gutted ya. absolutely eviscerated. like goddamn #this rewired something in my brain lads #cw blood #almost forgot that bit lol. also the other day i posted this pic and caption in a Discord server im in #yknow with the intention of basically swooning over him because yeah im in love with him right. and one person responded to me #and props to her she was reacting like. properly i suppose? like 'oh it's so sad what happened to him #when it all came crashing down </3' but im here like 'yes the scene is VERY tragic and rips my heart out but thats NOT what im doing here #today lmaooo' i am happy to focus on the tragedy of his character and often do #but right NOW i am trying to sexualize a man covered in the blood of his enemy as his psyche shatters so like <3 #theres probably nicer pics of this bit but i dont have them on hand. i might start a 'pretty Nishiki pics' folder on my phone too
