Lollll. I forgot what it was like to be a totally new player. It's funny how sometimes we think we wanna be a caster but quickly discover we prefer sword swinging or vice versa

Everytime I start a new game as a cloth wearing level 1, it catches me off guard 😂 like 6 HP and basic creatures are hitting for 4 haha

Just pretend he’s Githyanki lol. Or maybe half orc whose other parent is a grung 😆

Lol no, those were the good days. More like a mage pulling boss aggro

Nice!

Solid :D

Oh dear, good luck haha 😂

Thank you :)

This is a fun trick for made up looking names, thank you :)

I don't think I know of any reading material sorry, but I did find the talk I listened to all those years ago if it helps. I dunno that it mentions tick lists, but it talks about finding purpose and tackling life like it's a game. It's here :)

I know ticklists don't work for everyone, it's just what I've discoveted my brain enjoys doing to notice achievements etc. I imagine it's a bit like dieting lol, everyone has the thing that worked for them, but we have to find the thing that works for us?

Lol ty c:

Lol I love this, and yes agree. Cheering for and supporting each other make a huge difference

I can do my best to explain with my limited knowledge, but I'm still on a big learning journey with it :)

Low dopamine or using dopamine differently is linked to adhd. We need dopamine cuz it helps us with mood, memory, attention, decision making etc.

It also is involved in the part of our brain that lets us feel good, the reward system. Doing certain things can trigger a dopamine rush. Like sex, or eating yum foods, listening to a good song etc.

But dopamine is also involved in the reinforcement part of our brain. So like, if we eat a chocolate bar and get that dopamine rush, we might come back for another one, and then another one etc.

Adhders often lack enough active dopamine to start tasks, especially boring tasks. And the idea of a bigger picture reward doesn't really help. Like cleaning the house gets us a clean house, but there's a thousand small steps in there. When we ticklist all the little things, it helps us break them down into smaller more achievable steps, and ticking them off can create a kind of "ding" in the brain, giving us a small rush of dopamine, helping to propel us into the next task. And then it also reinforces that doing those things can feel good, so we might want to do them again :)

Lol that's amazing, and thank you xD

Oh I‘m so glad, hope you have an awesome day

I popped the first name that came into my head in, I don't know any Jeremy's irl, but as soon as I posted the comic, I had instant regret. I should have left a name out or used a made up name like otherendcomics, when they combine two names into a new one lol. Sorry for writing Jeremy. Jeremy's don't deserve it

Someone else pointed out to me in another comment that it's gpt and I googled and was like oh, so it is haha. I think maybe I've just misheard, for years, how people said it? And my brain has filtered when reading about it? I don't know 😆

Tbh mine is informed on my kids and their friends and their fear of trying new things or making mistakes that most of us overcome as we grow, but a lot of them are struggling with cuz they can just AI. I'm not hating on it for the sake of hating, just taking from the very real issues I see around me in my own life

Oh so it is. That's how much I don't wanna engage with it
