wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet
i need to correct this: wow classic doesn’t have any npcs that can only talk to one player at a time. these lines actually formed for a quest npc that players had to kill to complete the objective. knowing that i think this image is even funnier.
How do you deal with being compassionate on purpose with ASPD? I really struggle sometimes because it's so hard having to be aware of it all the time and I was wondering if you had any tips, thanks!
i’m not sure if i’m the right person to ask because i don’t know if i have ASPD, although i do have some things in common with people who do. but i guess my advice might be helpful anyway. honestly, as cold and calculating as it sounds, i benefitted a lot from trying to frame my actions through a lens of self-benefit and reward. i taught myself to be more compassionate, even when i don’t really feel like it, by reminding myself that if nothing else it benefits me personally more to be, because it’s more likely to improve the way people perceive me and encourage me to practice compassion again in the future. (it also helped a lot to imitate other people who i see as compassionate, or ask “how can i help?” when i’m unsure.) i like the person i am when i show compassion and restraint a lot better than the person i am when i decide to be cruel or petty or selfish, even if the latter provides me with more immediate gratification. it’s honestly mostly a case of practice and self-reflection. an awareness of your impulses and a willingness to change. and having that kind of self-awareness and self-control does feel really good in the long term.
there’s something compelling to me about the fact that sometimes leaving a blade or bullet inside the wound it made is the only way to prevent you from bleeding to death. something about the symbolism of it. when the thing designed and intended to kill you is the only thing keeping you alive.
also yes i do enjoy a bit of penetration imagery and the perverse intimacy of violence. if you must know.
my brother started calling our cat “doobie brother” which he then lengthened to “dubious brother” and has since morphed into “brother dubious” like he’s some sort of fucked up little monk

everyone likes to talk about fucked up joke spells like “super brain hemmorage” and “fill lungs with water” but i let my players make spells once theyre a certain level and my sorceror just sent me this text
