#real time tactics

[hazzieandnord]

Stronghold: Definitive Edition is the same game from 2001 one except with QOL and graphical improvements. Nord really enjoyed revisiting this one.

[LEGACY] Ratropolis

#DoubtfulPlayer #Sunday legacy upload. Today's #GameReview is #Ratropolis by @CasselGames. An #indie #deckbuilder #towerdefense #cute game, released on #Steam, and given to me by #keymailer. The #repost of this #review is available now on our website.

Ratropolis takes the cake from Castle On The Coast from me for “best game I’ve received from Keymailer yet.” in the grounds that I am playing this game off-stream and really am enjoying it. Castle On The Coast is still by far a better game, but due to me getting motion sickness and Ratropolis being the extremely simple game that it is, makes for a super addicting, challenging but fundamentally…

Tips & tricks on how to stop giving a fuck about other people, specifically their feelings and chimpout reactions, if you're sensitive to that stuff?

This is a complex topic. You can become sensitive to people's reactions for quite a few reasons, ranging from mild workplace disagreements to severe trauma. The most effective approach will depend on the cause. As such, I will always advise to consult a qualified professional if it is possible. The following is what found helpful in my own introspection and what I personally find important to understand about mental health.

Do you have these moments in your life where, long after a conflict subsided, you replay an event in your head wishing you had retorted with something clever? Do you find yourself thinking how stupid you are for being bothered by something this petty? Is your immediate decision to shut your eyes tight and wish for it to go away? Don't. Stop in your tracks and finish your line of thought. A disturbance like that is not petty. In situations where retaliation is not an option for a variety of reasons, be it the danger of calling out your superior, or simply because the opportunity is long gone, people tend to not only opt out of confrontation, they opt out of experiencing the related emotional feedback as well. How often do you feel that your anger is useless? That the situation is simply too dire to be resolved with a simple display of emotion, and that expressing your displeasure would be a waste of time? Anger is an indication that something is wrong, and it is useless for as long as you devalue yourself and your own biological processes. The reaction you wish you had had has not gone anywhere, you are simply suppressing it over and over again, just like you did during the incident. Recalling it in an untimely manner is what the brain does in an attempt to process the event in earnest.

The solution comes down to the following psychological phenomenon. It does not matter to your brain whether the person you are referring to is real or imaginary, it treats them all the same. If it is not safe for you to confront the person, do it retrospectively and it will have a similar effect relieving emotional tension. The same principle applies to situations where it is dangerous for you to express your disdain outright: dealing with an abusive ex-boyfriend, your parents threatening to evict you should you make a fuss. You can see me refer to an imaginary person in this post as to avoid a spat and let off steam all the same. I have had women confide me in the fact that they talk to themselves in private, and it is crucial to recognize what this process functionally is. Do not deny yourself this on the premise that it is stupid or bizarre. Whenever you catch yourself slipping into an unpleasant memory, take a step back and play out the event as if it were real. Defend yourself to the best of your ability and don't mince words. I assure you, you will not only feel better, you will no longer be haunted by the incident soon after the exercise is over.

If I were you, I would ask myself this: Why do I care? Why do I care about people's feelings? Why do I feel like I have to take them into consideration?

Many a thing with insecurities are an inverse trauma response. It is easier to assume that you breaking down means you are unfit for the job, and not that your supervisor is a bully. It would require reflecting on the circumstances that led up to the moment: financial instability, fear of losing the job, a potentially triggered flashback; that in itself is traumatic. The best thing you can do is not make an enemy of yourself. Few a person has your best interest in mind. Now is not the time to be insecure.

I do not care about people’s opinions and feelings because their input is of limited value to me. Living by this world’s principles has never worked for me, it is stupid to assume that it will now. A common concern I have seen women express over consistently making a harsher judgement is that they will end up not having enough self-awareness not to go overboard, and that they will needlessly hurt the people around them and themselves in the process. The truth is that people who are malignant behaviorally do not ask themselves these questions, and they certainly do not consider themselves being at fault a possibility. With a smidge of awareness, you are good to go.

#ask #it's been a long time since i struggled with this #can attest that it works #this phenomenon is the reason fiction is an effective therapeutic tactic #you can develop preferences and regulate emotions #in scenarios that would otherwise require a real-life interaction #and forgo endangering yourself #like with you guessed it right #heterosexual relationships

people on the internet when you tell them that just yelling at people that something is problematic and they’re a bad person for watching/reading it doesn’t actually work or do anything

#who can i blame this on #society? the government? lack of reading comprehension and critical media literacy skills? #i support not giving money to shitty ppl but ppl are gonna enjoy this stuff anyway #would it not be more advantageous to encourage critical media consumption #you know so you can understand how these ideas are pushed and recognise them in the real world #understand how and why these things are ‘problematic’ and what damage they cause instead of just screaming that’s it’s bad bad bad #bc oftentimes this tactic just leads to ‘everything is problematic now so idc’ #but if people actually were given time and room to UNDERSTAND

“do you scorn my great domain? this mountain is bigger than your cloud recesses, you know. the food is better too.” “wei ying, you know what i mean.” exchanges i will be rotating in my brain

#it’s wwx trying to deflect and rile up lwj abt the rumors that he’s starting his own sect to avoid the very real concern lwj is bringing up #and lwj not letting him pull back #it’s funny bc wwx says that lwj is still the same #but at the same time lwj is no longer riled up by wwx’s deflection tactics #he is worried that wwx has no contingency plan for when things go wrong #and as much as wwx does not want to face that- lwj will not let him avoid it

im having thoughts about gay people again

#xxxholic #douwata #listen i have a lot to think about i always think abt them theres so much to discuss #if they had one confessional conversation it would all be over doumeki would die but not literally this time #i love the rarely discussed thing which is like 'sure watanuki is a blushing tsundere nerd loser BUT he could have the upper hand' #the element of surprise....the element of actually acting on all the boldness hes acrued but never actually committed to in canon #if he had any sort of healthy natural growth that wasnt affected by The Situation itd b over for that poor man #its like an explosion if either of them act on their feelings the other will just be like a human firework tbh #i love the idea of a potential relationship of theirs being just as much about revenge game 4d chess tactics #as much as it is goofy or serious or tender #then again im the type to view positive friendships in my real life that way so i naturally enjoy it in fictional relationships #but like #you have a tsundere who was trained in the art of being a seductress #and you have a more outspoken bolder type with strong conviction in his romantic feelings but also an expectation of it being unfulfilled #they have strengths and weaknesses that counteract each other greatly for the game of taking each other aback #they already do but in a relationship itd be tenfold #they also each have enough smugness in them to propel it to the next levek #imagine them constantly trying to one each other up #he who blushes first loses (but wins the consolation prize of a REALLY cute relationship) #heh ...all the excellent fic fuel if i could write fic without getting distracted panicking abt lore inconsistencies or cringing at myself #not for the act of writing fic i just find it tricky to like my own longform writing #but i wANNAAAAAAAA

[king-of-havoc]

I feel like at this point if I just assumed everyone who was in a certain circle of Minecraft Youtubetry is a bad person that I wouldn't be too far off

#king posts #this is about Wilbur Soot #if you haven't heard (I don't blame you I JUST learned about it) then it's being speculated that he abused Shubble #like she never said his name but there are many many MANY signs pointing to it being him #and I just can't be surprised anymore #she is so brave for even talking about it at all tbh #because his methods of abuse (that she talked about) were so unorthodox #and certain people (abuse apologists) like to write off unorthodox abuse tactics as not being ''real'' abuse #and hearing that she had those types of thoughts herself really broke my heart #abuse is abuse #I'm so glad she was able to get out of it in the end #even if she didn't know what she was going through was abuse at the time (been there)

what other RPG games do you like?

Heya anon, what a fun question! If I sat and listed all the RPGs I like, it would take forever. Here's a ramble instead because I'm bored on a Sunday.

I've been playing basically any kind of RPG since I got a copy of Fallout 1 in... 1999? '98? I was too young for it, but I was also too young to watch horror films then and look at how I turned out.

Pretty sure I blindly walked into the Glow in one of my first playthroughs and didn't understand why my character kept dying afterwards lmao.

Then I got into BG with BG2 when it was released. After that I started reading Drizzt novels, and that's where everything went wrong.

Either way, I like pretty much any kind of RPG. If you can find it on GOG, Steam, or Abandonware sites, I've probably at least tried it. Old-school, draw a map, tile-based dungeon crawlers like Pool of Radiance or Might and Magic? Yep, love those games. All the Infinity Engine games and their modern clones? Yep! I'm really hoping we get a Pillars of Eternity 3 some day. Even though I think they've all had massive problems so far and I've had bad interactions with the company's community management, I'll probably play the next Owlcat game too. I loved the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games when they came out, but I'm eh on ME2/3 and DA is a really uneven series. I'm less into JRPGs these days, but I've played stuff like Chrono Trigger, Persona, and most of the Final Fantasy series.

Speaking of FF, strategy RPGs are just so, so good and I've had to make do with constant replays of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre for years...

Tabletop RPGs are my only other real hobby these days besides writing, and I'm currently on a break from running anything. I plan on running either Dungeon Crawl Classics or the MCDM RPG (if it's out by then) when I'm ready for another campaign.

I've been a Larian fan since Divinity 2 (that's the Dragon Knight Saga, not Original SIn) and the fact that they got handed BG3 is still kinda surreal even now lol. I remember Kickstarting D:OS1 and thinking it was such a fun tactical RPG with just awful characters. That's what all of their games were like before D:OS2, really. Look how far they've come! And they managed to make a system that I think is largely bad for tactical play pretty fun.

OH! I also love ARPGs. I'm thankful I don't have a real hour count of my Diablo 2 playtime since ca. 2001, because it would not reflect well on me. My Path of Exile playtime is already dangerously concerning.

#hey you can ask me things! #personal nonsense #MMOs I am just way not into anymore... I occasionally play on early expac everquest 1 fanservers but not for long #and I'm eventually going to play the persona 3 remake but finding the time for it is... ough... #and open world “sandbox” RPGs just don't really do much for me either #but these days I love the relatively underplayed/obscure stuff #Voidspire Tactics? Underrail? sure let's go. still waiting on Death Trash to get a full release >:| #(and as a bg and general crpg vet I'm very happy to say that turn-based > real-time with pause) #(+ the contrarianism about BG3 not being a “real” BG game is hysterical)

a fellow english major, really happy to see someone who's proud of their degree <3

you know that "no love, no matter how brief, is wasted" line? i think the same applies for knowledge too - no matter how useless it may seem, knowledge acquired is never in vain.

#honestly like. idk what your age is but when i was attending uni i kept getting told that i shouldve gone for IT. because the future #- and the money - is there. #now look at the IT companies. the whole thing is crumbling #not to mention the arrogance. that IT degree didnt make you immune to the same old scam tactics did it. how are your nfts doing btw #honestly i never really expected it myself that a humanities degree would prove useful in a daily life type of way #like. sure i knew it wasnt useless but still. its entirely different to experience it in real time yknow #and the whole new wave ''it isnt that deep'' trend is honestly pretty dangerous bc there usually IS something deeper. #a narrative an agenda a propaganda etc.... or simply just capitalist greed #so its needed to read between the lines and see what the point/intention really is #- and thats what literary and other art analysis is making you do! it makes you stop and think #this is all not even mentioning all the political historical and cultural stuff we learned about all the anglo-saxon countries #which all prove to be pretty useful in light of recent events...... #so yeah. anyway. dont listen to all those who say its useless (and theres a lot of those even among the ones who chose this major too) #its clearly not. but even if it were it wouldnt matter ehat they think #(i do wish tho that i couldve attended it already on the right meds bc i feel like i forgot A Lot bc of my mental state at the time #but oh well. what can you do) #thank you for the ask it was really nice of you 💞💞💞 #ask #anon

i am quite honestly completely and wholly enamored with him.

#DCB Three Hopes Run #Miklan #I'll be adding this to my new post with all my screenshots of him later on but #this deserves its own separate post too!!! #he's just... so smart... so thoughtful... so insightful... so dutiful!!! #he is thinking of many possibilities and going through scenarios in his head while he waits! #like... this isn't a man who is being forced to do this!!! this is a real commander!!! #this is a commander thinking how a commander would think!!! #do you know why i know this? because this is the real mikkykins mikkycakes!!! #this is who he is and always would've been and should've been a long time ago!!! #he thinks he isn't the brains of the situation but look at him!!! he thinks like sylvain with this stuff!!! #and matthias was the tactical dude in his squad of fools (read: rodrigue and lambert) in his wee ol' days!!! #i love him thank u and have a nice whatever you are doing at this time

i'm never knowingly going to reblog a post that includes the phrase 'touch grass,' and that's not because i don't think it can be psychologically beneficial to get in some outdoor time if possible—i went for a walk earlier! it was great!—or to take a break from conversations that are getting you wound up, but because i think that particular wording generally reveals two things:

first, that the writer is speaking not from a place of genuine concern and sympathy, but from judgmental impatience à la 'get therapy,' which—i too have felt judgmental and impatient in my time, god knows! but when i feel that way i try to go unpack those feelings in private with a thoughtful friend, instead of pretending they constitute a source of wisdom or a helpful sort of energy to direct at people, you know? and i'm definitely not particularly interested in boosting a ventpost from someone else—who pretty clearly hasn't bothered to take the breather they're urging on others, if they're making little digs like that—as if it were actually sincere, carefully-reasoned advice.

and second, that the writer's argument embraces some seriously sloppy assumptions, which pretty immediately undermines my trust in the rest of their analysis—i mean, there's absolutely no guarantee someone's local scene will be any less parochial, just because it's playing out irl! there's also not actually a clean divide between 'people who spend time in the Real World' and 'people who spend time on the internet, which is for porn losers,' as demonstrated by a number of phenomena including, again, the aforementioned grass-recommenders' own presence right here on tumblr…

anyway. obviously we all have our own particular lines we draw around particular rhetoric that bugs us! these are just some reasons why that particular phrasing bugs me.

#language #metatumbling #like. if what you mean is 'your stance would be totally incongruous outside the microcommunity you're speaking to'? #say that! #but also—it's fine to speak to the state of affairs in a microcommunity‚ actually #you just need to define your parameters #but like. so do people who are speaking to Broader Culture bc like. *which* broader culture. #even if you mean American Cishet Culture there are. so many kinds. new york ≠ nebraska. #but anyway it's just like. stop fucking making (and reblogging) these implicit ad hominem arguments #about how people who disagree with you must be idiots and losers because they don't get out enough #if they really are wrong you ought to be able to argue against them without resorting to digs any real leftist ought to be ashamed of #and if spending all one's time in the physically-embodied socially-embedded world really stopped people from being wrong… #well. pretty sure a lot fewer people would be wrong about things‚ if that were true. #anyway i left this to rot in drafts last week for prolixity reasons #and like. it remains guilty of those crimes but they don't render its fundamental assertion untrue. #anyway fundamentally this is the sort of thing you immediately sound like a 'terminally online' loser for protesting and i realize that #but like. if we refuse to open conversational doors because we're scared of the shame bucket someone juvenile balanced on top of them… #fuck that. i decline to live in fear of implicit rhetorical bully tactics.
