looking for feedback from y'all

@Zenithspeed In my defence, I saw the topic as evolving :\

@LeMagicBaguette i think we got way too offtopic
but yes

@Zenithspeed it’s not a matter of if. When your armour does fail, it will all come down with a force you cannot comprehend. Everything you resist doesn’t make way for new stuff; it simply sits there waiting for the chance to strike. The longer you wait, the fuller the backlog, and you’ll be swamped.

I did this myself. Twice. The first time nearly killed me, and the second time snuffed what humanity I had left and spawned a beta-trial version of PTSD. It took me over a year to break free of my little prison, and the spacing out ceased a month or two after that. The only reason the second meltdown didn’t end me is because I only had five months or so of backlog. Despite this, it still proved quite grave.

If you melt down, you will have no ability to ask for help; if anything, you will deny it because your brain does not want to believe that it is helpless, you won’t want to accept that you are losing yourself. In a final ploy to have any semblance of meaning left, it will shut out all notions of help because it needs to feel strong. This apathy and its accompanying excuses (too late, lack of care, self-depreciation) you are displaying is the alarm you need to heed.

I have been there, and I beg you to not repeat my mistakes. When your will fails, your heart and spirit will be shattered. You must turn it against this growing threat before it’s too late.

@LeMagicBaguette i am aware of my mental issues, i just don't really care about them, and it's too late to fix them anyways
essentially, i know it's a big issue, but won't do much about it because i'm lazy and useless
i won't claim i'm "immune" to my mental issues, i think we can both agree that that is kinda bullfeces, but i'll still be tanking them while i can regardless, if i can no longer tank it i'll just tell my parents or something and then go to a therapist etc etc

@Zenithspeed the way I define it in this context is an apathy towards one mental state and a lack of will to address it. The common excuse is that one is used to the problem, and thus is falsely led to believe that it is a low priority issue if one at all.

Another common thought process is that of perceived immunity. One may believe that this heightened exposure is granting them immunity to its effects, but this is a scenario where one cannot ever hope to tank said effects. This usually leads to a build up, which may ultimately lead to a total mental breakdown. The consequences are sometimes lethal.

@LeMagicBaguette what is complacency lol

@Zenithspeed I am warning you, complacency should not be tolerated! Please focus your efforts on yourself, man.

@LeMagicBaguette my mental health has been like this for a few years, i've gotten used to it by now

If your mental health is proving to be problematic, get the hell of this platform, stop building things that (according to yourself) you don’t like. Take as much time as you need, maybe practice a funky martial arts, or just vege.

I’m not being harsh, I’m just giving you the best advice I can given that I’ve been there before.

For 3, Take as much time as you need, don’t try to force yourself to do anything you don’t want to, no one is going to hate you for shelving the systems. From my experience planning systems just makes it much harder to make them, whenever you are feeling right just take some time to make a planet or moon or star and spend some time making it, keep doing that and then try to see how those planets can fit into a system. Don’t rush planets or make yourself think “if I don’t release this people are going to be impatient and hate me” no one exept real parasites of human beings are going to hate you for taking a break, and if anyone does hate you for it then tell them to fuck off. Whatever you are going through don’t give up, there is always a light at the end, a better future. Take your time mate. Breathe.

@RichGWall well yeah but i don't want babes or whatever that mojito drink is

@RichGWall ???

@RichGWall "a bit" of burnout, sure....

@Zenithspeed You are just suffering from a bit of burnout. Take two months and just fly some missions. After that maybe find a way to make a highly detailed Earth, clouds, night lights, and 3d patch work making one mountain range at a time that can be added to the project over time. That would be a significant achievement.

@Zenithspeed ah alright, but still if you want a break and NEED a break just take it. JNO is just a game after all and yeah have an awesome day fam :)

@Luckwut that clashes with number 4 though
as i said, i'm too lazy to make a planet with a quality higher than "severely modified template" or "generic altitude-based-biome planet"

for question number 3, yea go on, no one going to stop you for having your freedom and please don't stress too much on finishing the system. I suggest you to try spending your time on a single planet project rather than system and you can pour all ideas you want on that single planet, perhaps you'll learn something new doing this and increase the quality of your planet.
