Reflection by 아버지, listening to it is like having your mind defragged.


It can be useful to get worked up about things. Rather than dwell on something it can be cathartic to play into your emotions in the moment and let them release themselves, and practicing this allows you to do it internally with a straight face.

If you forgot something you were just thinking about a few minutes ago try thinking about what you were thinking about before that, it might activate the same train of thought. It’s like thinking about what you were doing before you set your keys down rather than where you put your keys.


What about the acidity though? Personally I love the taste of highly acidic beverages, but I’m worried if I drink them too often they could fuck up my teeth.



Even if enemies got a lot stronger you’d still have numbers go up, and less superficially you’d still have significantly more options than a bunch of level 1 characters. I don’t want to feel like Superman when the roleplaying situation is supposed to feel grim and insurmountable. My mood to use caution and diplomacy is really killed when I know I can destroy any encounter. I also just want a fun tactical experience in addition to the roleplaying elements, is that too much to ask?

Currently, the game on tactician, even without abusing resting, consumables, or strong multiclass is too easy in my opinion, and this is coming from someone with no prior DnD experience. I do have a little bit of Pathfinder experience as I got WotR during the Steam Summer Sale.


I don’t really consider them boycotts because they are indefinite and I don’t have any demands or don’t see how they could change that would make me receptive to them.

Cars. I’ll personally ride along or carpool with someone but I don’t want to add another car to the world and to the road. Even if we switched over to all electric cars, they still require lots of resources to build and maintain and put a lot of demand on infrastructure and urban design.

Animal products. I am against all animal products and treating animal as commodity. We’ve enslaved animals all the way down to the biological level, it’s unethical.


I didn’t get many bugs with later content, but a big problem with later content is that the player gets immensely stronger but enemies stay about the same. It also becomes way too easy to pass out of combat checks. I doubt this will be fixed any time soon, maybe in the future they will add a new difficulty.


Recommendations have gotten better recently. I’ve been recommended more specific stuff and more stuff that has less than a thousand views, which is really small for YouTube. I feel like the algorithm now has more bias towards recency than trendiness. I don’t mind being a guinea pig for new videos, much better than being inundated with successful clickbait and other crap.


Network wasn’t underrated but has felt more relevant every decade but has been talked about less and less.

Showgirls tells a compelling story about poverty, fame, power, misogyny, and abuse. This film is severely underrated but also it is forgotten by most people who do not go looking for the lowest rated movies to watch ironically.

The second season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex was really good and I find the story centered around a refugee crisis to be a much more compelling one. I feel like this season gets talked about less than the first and the movies, which are generally seen as masterpieces.

You didn’t list books but I wanted to mention that Player Piano is one of the most precient books I have read and was written back in the 50s. Vonnegut is of course a well known and regarded writer but you’ll rarely see his first novel topping lists even among just his own works, and so it doesn’t get read and discussed as much as it should.
