a whole part of this chapter is about how we need to have professional wills because we can die at any moment especially while we're doing therapy which is illustrated by a story about someone getting held hostage and knifed by a client and i'm here stressed about dying from the plague i almost want to just skip the assigment but i should at least try

and a section about how therapists should be totally logical and "know how to avoid logical fallacies" ugh

That's such a dumb thing to call it. Professional wills? What's so professional about being okay with being killed? What exactly is so professional about being okay with dying? Like fuck, what is a professional will anyway. I'm pretty sure they're not talking about a legal one.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
They're saying I should basically have a list of clients and who will "inherit" them if I die. As if a client is some object that can just be handed down. As if I'm going to constantly keep a document saying all of that shit.

Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>822401 and sometimes they wanted to keep those files because they were proud of it i'm sure
!C0.PerkELE
also in the case of USA, I think many of the files were essentially part of larger storages etc while no one uninvolved could read them or access them, but if someone goes around erasing documentary, people will start to ask questions
but who actually cares about some dusty files, if they don't even know they exist?
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
like does nobody think it's weird that the CIA had files sitting around documenting their extensive attemps to kill people by blowing up their heads using their minds if i were a CIA big wig i'd be like "no, erase this shit. nobody will take us seriously. its too stupud" >>822405 yeah true
!C0.PerkELE
man the psychic arms race was DAMn amusing part of cold war how come there isn't more fiction out of that atleast in vidya or movie format

My expectations of that scenario is that no CIA bigwig knew it had been filed away. Like it was a failed ... experiment, so everyone just figured the stuff would get tossed. Then some procedural paperwork employee threw it in the filing cabinet and it got forgotten about until it was fished up decades later.

locked out of my uni web account so I can't download the pdf with the assignment in it. I emailed the sysadmin to get my account unlocked and my prof to get the pdf.
!C0.PerkELE
when it comes to the found footage genre, mocumentaries and such are an interesting way to do them it does remove some tension, for example anyone being post interviewed of some case, obviously survives the flick but at the same time it does give it a weird reality
best case of course is the poughkeepsie tapes that is a very interesting movie to watch
i'd like to do a found footage story about something that seems really ominous and scary but it never really shows exactly what's happening until the end when you realize that it was something completely innocuous and a waste of your emotional investment

>lectronic devices should only be used during class time to assist with participation and not be disruptive to instructor/colleagues. this is in the syllabus for this online class
!C0.PerkELE
But I think horror movies as a genre have a lot of room to expand to internet and indie games have already proven that
what I don't get is, why do indie horror movies also tend to fall to they "safe" tropes or formats
you don't have the studio to tie you into those, so why not do something different of some do try this and fail >>822433 might be also there is an issue of turning a good idea into a 90 minute movie which is why short film anthologies like VHS 1 and 2 or ABCS of Death are incredible
but what I mean by format, is how say you have a B or even hollywood monster movie and then some pasta inspired monster movie
both pretty much have identical acts 1, 2 and 3 so why when you are an indie team, would you go with the safe but, stale approach?
Anno
>>822430 Ergo when you're out of class time NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES ALLOWED
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>822431 i think part of it is culture people who make indie movies are usually inspired by creepypasta when it comes to horror sometimes the games are too but the games have more room to play with viewer expectations which helps them avoid some of the tropes sometimes

be sure you have some extra to rebuild the good tools I had my fishing rod break right after turning them in

It's only a nugget a piece to craft 'em though, so even if you just have one or two spare you can easily skip over to a Tour island and get more.
why do i only find coconuts and cherries on mystery islands is it just luck or can i not find other fruits
Anno
Purportedly you can find other fruits, but I have not seen one for myself yet. The overwhelmingly predominant turn-out is your native fruit and coconuts. Some islands will only have coconuts because they have some other special feature but they're pretty rare too.
>>822710 none of them have really seemed special so far same plants and everything and ive been to at least 10
Anno
I've discovered myself one special island where I got bamboo from, and another one which was definitely unique. There is also an island which it is perma-raining on, which is useful for catching specific kinds of fish. These are most certainly exceptions though and not the norm. Unfortunately the best use for the Islands is really to collect DIY recipes (they seem to appear in bottles on the shore pretty consistently) and collect resources.

Yeah. I mean I guess it would be also kinda weird to have pet actual cats with cat villagers running about. But you can catch octopus and there's at least one octopus villager so.

big pro AC tip, customizing your tools resets their durability to max
Anno
Yeah, though that still only reduces your crafting time from two actions per good tool to one since you need to visit a DIY to customize. And I dunno if the 600 Bells per customization resource is worth the crafting ingredients. Maybe with the next tier of tools, though you would probably still want to keep count of uses to not waste customization boxes.

Focusing on the positives always feels so hollow to me. Like what, are you just supposed to not think of the downsides? How?
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
It is hollow. Positive psychology is bunk. It only works to encourage a little bit of reframing. Positive thoughts don't actually help people.
Telling someone to think of the positives is the most dismissive shit and so many people have been told to think positively for so long that they dismiss their own problems like that. I've heard so many clients say "it could be worse, I shouldn't complain, it's not that bad" and I always tell them to fuck off
