>>54995957Just adding to this encouragement, as I too have struggled in the darkest place. tldr is we do have a surprising toolbox available in our heads; we can repair ourselves. This poster is right in that: the hardest part is putting in the work. I'll add on to that by saying: That also involves failing a lot, but you get better at it each time. In time, you look back surprised at the progress you've made even though it seemed like nothing. If you make the effort, you will see results.
You are also right in that it changes over time as we change. For me, I view my mind as a mental garden which I must tend daily. If I don't tend it, I will rapidly decline into the dark pit. Spoilers it will happen, but now I know how to dig myself out. It's kind of like walking on the edge of a canyon, I really have to be mindful all the time.
>>54996870I have a picture of a dog like that, growing up as a puppy into an adult.
I used Ditto in a recent file, it was really interesting and changes how you think about playing. I've always wanted to play using a team of Ditto, Smeargle, Porygon, Castform, and these type of people which have a really unique mechanism tied to them.
Yeah the new games are disappointing, but entropy ruins all so it was inevitable. I wonder if they will ever return to form. I wonder what games post-Ohmori will look like.
Emulators are convenient. Last time I had Pokebuds, they all used fast forward. I'd bet they don't play anymore. For me, the tempo of the games is part of the fun. I am that purist elitist with a monocle, carrying my original hardware every time I go out. Yesterday waited for an appointment for probably 20 mins, had my GB Pocket ready. But whatever is fun for a person, I am glad knowing people are still enjoying and playing.
