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.

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.

marcusmaximus: Even roguelikes have statistics screens telling me what is exactly wrong when I feel ill or pain or how much xp i need to gain to level up.

It is very hard to figure out in real life what actually helps gain xp, can exercise tons but still be weak and maybe have some status ailment like arthritis or runner's knee and not even know which one i have if have something like knee pain.



It is very hard to grind in real life because of the lack of feedback. In order to learn or get stronger one needs to figure out what feedback is important. In other rogueikes I can see xp appearing giving me feedback, and I can see the exact damage an enemy does to me unlike real life where if I get hit I have no idea what kind of damage is actually done. Like if I stood outside too long in the cold, do I have frostbite, where is the status ailment screen! I'm even trying to increase my cold resistance with cold showers and stuff but I'm afraid of the various status ailments and it is hard to tell if I'm actually afflicted with something like frostbite or chilblains.
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.

marcusmaximus: Having a lack of status ailment screen causes me to be a hypochondriac in real life which is a very annoying mental status ailment.

(honestly generally prefer none roguelke video games cause I like to reload saves and such to see the results of different actions.)

I also try meditative breathing but it doesn't seem to be working and I can't figure out if i'm actually gaining xp in the skill.
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 :)
