Damn, I shouldn`t have bought the lite version!!!

Wimps mode for me, learning curve too time consuming.

"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

Can't remember if that was Schopenhauer or WOPR.

I hate those fecking scammers!!!!

How come no one ever posts what happens after permadeath with some screenshots or something?

It's always someone just saying they haven't gone through permadeath, but they totally know exactly what happens. The worst are the ones who try to get you to join their guild afterwards.

Neither.

It was Joshua.

Excellent post, I can relate to every word you wrote. Same problem for me, I'm often worried about what modes of practicing are the most efficient and which ones are a waste of time and energy. People keep telling me "not to think so much" but truth is, there are ways to practice things that lead to virtually no EXP gain.
I don't need an "achievement unlocked" pop-up because one can feel level-ups well enough in real life, the problem is that we don't have an EXP counter so we don't know if we train efficiently. Skill plateaus in RL are more brutal than in any game. It's like flying in the dark without instruments.


Just because you don't have a clear diagnosis does not mean you're a hypochondriac, don't let anyone tell you that!

Actually, I just started doing meditative breathing today - for a variety of reasons including regaining focus and increasing stamina while drawing.
If I understand correctly, meditation works best (or only works) if you don't put any result-oriented expectations / pressure on yourself. For analytical people like myself this is rather difficult because I'm always evaluating and judging everything I do to see if I'm making progress. In other words, I'm split between the past present and future. Meditation focuses just on the present moment. Inhale, exhale :)
