Feeling a little inadequate?
getting between the sheets momentarily, i will recall my dreams for the benefit of the pos. except that i took a trazodone because my sleep's been so ifucked up so it'll just probably be like TV static or something.

i don't get why people are still nintendo fans. the company just seems to be full of [home console] disappointment and now its latest handheld had poo poo the bed too.

they were desperately trying to hold onto something they had once before

zelda anad mario is software. dunno how they let themselves get wrapped up in how precious their hardware is if their software was the main selling point

they did movment stuff first-ish but they didnt make it great. ugh, oh boy guys. face the music - youve been mediocre to bad with the last couple iterations

they've been mediocre since the N64.

SNES was the last real good market leading system imho, then PS won over n64 by miles, and since then, they've just been exploiting their brand titles for what they could

i include the DS in this, too, it's always been way behind

i think? like one common theme is that im being pursued by an evil force usually numerous and when that happens i either give myself weapons to fight back or an impenetrable place to hide or some allies to oppose them whatever fits in the context of the story

they arent really terrifying theyre just obstacles i can overcome at will

KoRMaK posted:

a few months ago i suggested that the switch should just be a nice controller/dock for iphone/android, and focus on bringing its 1st party IP to mobile, but nobody agreed. i still think something like that is inevitable, they aren't nearly good enough at hardware to continue coexisting with the smartphone/tablet juggernauts, and their recent focus on tablety systems only serves to force a comparison

That switch problem is ugly, & that channel has uploaded videos of launch issues for all the latest consoles (and some controllers). What a bummer to plunk down your hard earned bitcoins on faulty hardware. lesson is get an insurance plan or just dont buy day 1 devices.

ps some punk why not

the audio from the alarm probably triggers the dream and you need it to be loud enough to impact the dream but not loud enough to wake you. the timer is probably so it goes off during rem?

You can lucid dream if you build enough of a tolerance to caffeine that you can nap after coffee. The issue is that if you don't hit the target you will end up with nightmarish sleep paralysis.

ive never had a wet dream ever

ive had sex dreams but i never create those. its hard to describe but when im dreaming im always aware its a dream even if i dont change whats happening so dreams already seem fake like watching a movie only (usually) from a first person perspective

i usually just let the story go on if its interesting enough. sometimes if its boring ill add elements to the story or just stop it and have a new one begin like changing channels on a tv

my point is that theres already a problem of suspension of disbelief and doing something like inserting someone to have sex with isnt very satisfying because its so fake so i dont do it unless it comes naturally in the story. sometimes if someone shows up in the dream that id like to have sex with i make that happen but otherwise i just let things play out without interfering

my recurring bad dreams:
- losing teeth
- zombie invasion
- my fiancée cheats on me / disappears / dies

so yeah, pretty vivid dreams right there. especially the zombie ones, i wake up in complete panic and it takes me a few minutes to realize where i am.

BUUUT i also get awesome recurring dreams, where i can literally fly just like in dragonball z. so i guess it all balances out in the end
