Hope you don't mind the sudden change in video style. A lot has happened recently and I just don't have the energy to make the kind of content I was making before. This style of video just feels... Natural, for now. Let me know if you like it.
I stumbled here accidentally, and what you said resonated with my recent thoughts. I hear all around about "optimalization." Optimal training, optimal diet, optimal ways to have fun, yaddi yadda. It tires me to no end. There's no fun anymore, no exploration, no making mistakes, and stumbling around until you find your way. And God forbid we have some fun while we're here if it's not optimal. Thank you for sharing. And to you, dear reader - go ahead and have fun with exploration. You'll find your way eventually.
My playthrough of Dark Souls 1 was that life is hard, but through jolly co-operation, it can be made easier. Sure I can face slam my self in to job/uni/relationships the same way you can attempt a boss over and over and over. but you can also ask others for help on how THEY beat the boss or apply for a uni course. and get help from others who did it before you.
This video was very therapeutic. It hurts a little bit, but it's sincere. "The hardest boss you can face is yourself." "I was so frustrated that I gave up." "Don't you dare go hollow." The part about goals leading us forward through unhappiness is so real. I feel like a mooch, a slacker, a burden on my parents. Typical, I guess? I struggle with despair. I look back on my mistakes and fears and I cringe so hard. I am physically overcome, my hands wrench up over my face. I decided I am finally going back to college. I started taking some steps and setting some goals. My coping skills transformed practically overnight. My self esteem is improving. I am not meaningfully "happy" now, but working at my goals ensures that I will be. It is worth doing. When I am working at my goal, and I have an intrusive thought that sends a spike of anguish, I do not allow it to intrude further. I cannot crumble over the past or the future, I would never get anything done. It is good to have a reason to remain composed. For now, I just need a reason. My work is the reason I need right now, for it will deliver unto me my real goals. My goals are to move out. To get a job that's interesting and won't kill me. To earn a better life for myself, and my cats. I've always wanted to experiment more with material things. Woodworking. Pottery. I used to watch "Primitive Technology", that looks pretty fun. And easy. I'll need to make some friends to share something that fun with. And dear god, I have pirated a lot of games. I need to buy them proper and restore all the starving indie devs I robbed.
Solid and achievable goals, plus a potential hobby. Seems like you're taking steps in the right direction. Wish you the best. You deserve it. And so do your cats!
This video found me at the right time, I got into a prestigious university but was miserable there, so eventually I dropped out. Friends family everyone called me lazy but I was just really depressed . I managed to find a job I liked and actually enjoy working hard I even spend my free time learning new skills to further my career. at one point I in my life I even convinced myself that I was lazy and was good for nothing, turns out I just do well In academic system. Now I’ve managed to almost quit my bad habits and my mental and physical health have improved Things still aren’t easy if anything they’ve been harder than they’ve ever been but for once I’m not miserable and I think that’s worth something. I still want to be rich one day don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think the meta is for me. Also one thing I’d like to add on to your video is that I don’t believe in a purpose or grand objective in life and I don’t really think there is a main objective, because I feel like my long term goals change at least once a year haha. I think we have to decide on what’s the most important thing right now and work hard towards that and things work out eventually Anyways thanks for the video chief
This popped up in my recommendations and i decided to give it a try, super nice title dude it caught my attention immediately. You have a knack for that. I have found that DEFINING goals is the hard part, not having them. If you are rowing on a misty waterway, how will you know you are going in the right direction? I think its really important to mention that someone has clear, concise goals with a clearly defined method to achieving it (though not necessarily, sometimes you only have the pieces to take the first step, and sometimes thats all you need). If happiness is your goal, what is that to you? what are you doing/have done/going to do to make that happen? Give your brain, your soul and your body a clear path! or at the least make sure you can see the next step on the staircase!!!
True. Defining a goal is often easier said than done. But I also think just *wanting* to find a goal is enough to eventually stumble into it. You rarely find something when you're not looking for it. Sadly, as I said in the video, I get the impression many people are just going through the motions, "playing the meta" even though they never really decided to do that... Anyways, thank you for your kind words! It's always nice reading comments like that.
I feel that what you are talking about is really important, i recently started going to college for a "meta" major, i know this is what i want to do with my life, i find joy in the pursuit of knowledge in this field and i see myself being fulfilled working in the industry. most of my friends, however, aren't meta players, they forced themselves into studying this either beacuse theres a bunch of money down the line or beacuse they MUST go to college for something, anything. I see them unhappy, stressed and lacking hope, just getting by, surviving. As a society we need to promote other options for people like my friends so they won't end up trapped in a job they hate, that they got from a major they hated studying for. btw, you were playing really well, even if you aren't a no-hit god
It can be hard to convince them. But if more people choose to live their lives in their own way, more will become comfortable enough to do the same. Thanks!
I had a decent paying job last year that I worked over four years. I was overworked and miserable, stacking heavy lumber every day and often doing the equivalent of two jobs, but kept working regardless because my family was poor. I also had a lead who hated me and eventually he got the job I wanted and also got me fired. Now I realise I should have walked away from it when I realised I needed to. Still trying to get my life back together.
It's tough. Life sometimes requires us to stay in that kind of situation for a while. But I think if we at least *want* to find something better we are guaranteed to not stay there forever. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah I guess the lesson I learned is to give the same love and attention to myself that I've been giving to everyone else. It's been about a year and where have all these people been when I've been in a bad spot, you know?
i never saw anyone saying to level up endurance and vitality , if i want to play a mage i'll just put points in inteligence before anything, the important part is dealing damage, since you have the abillity of dodging attacks but i understood the message
That video was one of the best videos that i have ever watched. I loved hearing you rant about life and the fact that you are Brazilian came to me like a plot Twist, i dont know if you are refering to the flood as the one that happened here in the south, but if it's so me to has been affected, all my best condolences for you man. Good video

So nice of Capra Demon to let you heal.
He may be a demon but he has manners.

It was precisely that one, yes. But I was fortunate to not lose nearly as much as so many others did. Thank you for your comment and sub!
