I know a number of people who fall asleep while watching stuff on their phone, the phone never enters any kind of sleep mode. These people also all have bad sleep schedules.

A lot of people benefit from simple sleep hygiene improvements but a lot of people are also unwilling to break habits. Like not being on the computer until the last second or not following any kind of sleep schedule

on topic just watched this video from Answer In Progress about focus and thought it was a really great little video. I appreciate that she tries and discards lifehack productivity styles in favor of a middle ground.

e: i just remembered this. a few days ago someone linked a video on white wolf's VR game for Wraith that reminded me of how bile fascinated i am with white wolf's story-telling uhh choices lol. does anyone have any vids on white wolf lore. ill drink that garbage

The problem with the World of Darkness stuff, in my experience, is anyone deep in the lore and storytelling crap is usually too lost in the sauce to humorously recap it from a safe distance. The TG community here has some write ups of various books in the FATAL & Friends archive: https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/

The writeup on the classic Vampire: The Masquerade is good:
https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/halloween-jack/vampire-the-masquerade/

The one on Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary is abandoned but you'll get... the vibe:
https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/kurieg/werewolf-the-apocalypse-20th-anniversary-edition/

The one on Mage: Ascension 20th Anniversary is also abandoned but near-complete and you'll get... the vibe there too:
https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/latwpiat/mage-the-ascension-20th-anniversary-edition/

Ditto with the one on Wraith: The Oblivion
https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/felicitygs/wraith-the-oblivion/

The Hunter: The Reckoning one is complete:
https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/night10194/hunter-the-reckoning/

Then there's the one on Kindred of the East, for a dash of orientalism:
https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/mors-rattus/kindred-of-the-east/

The one on Racial Slur For Romani People who are magical creatures deserving of their own supplement, apparently:
https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/mors-rattus/gypsies/

For some reason, it looks like the write up on the Eternal Hearts paperback fiction book (which is very :nws: and just assume every bad content warning about it) isn't in there, but it's worth a read if you want to see The Absolute State of Things:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3758962&userid=192031&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post462937323

There's some short, unfinished things in there for Demon: The Fallen and Changeling: The Dreaming as well but I won't bother linking them. There's also write ups on the New World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness things in there, which are their own game line and completely separate from the classic WoD things. The only thing there that's a fascinating disaster on the level of the worst WoD stuff is Beast: The Primordial.

Jesse has listened to like two tracks from FF6(Dancing Mad and Opera iirc) and otherwise is completely unfamiliar with it. someone recommended Terra's Theme to him, and that track alone made him go "okay, yeah, I HAVE to play this game." :allears:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWrmZpY6hc4&hd=1

god drat is terra's theme just an all-timer. doesn't matter if you even know what final fantasy is, it's just an emotionally powerful track all around. the pixel remaster version is also impeccable.

Yeah it's a really great theme. I like this group's performance of it:

Congrats! Do you feel well when you wake? Is it quality sleep? If so, celebrate that, and don't throw off the rhythm.

To be fair those papers are extensive meta reviews of existing research which exist to compile and draw conclusions from large amounts of studies. But yes I agree that individual sleep troubles should be first and foremost advised by medical professionals and not the internet.

Ya but the fact that you are defending that they are meta-studies is exactly "knowing enough to cause trouble." All the studies could be verifiably true and an expert could still be like "oh yeah, but like that doesn't matter at all compared to doing X and Y behavior." Need the scope of domain knowledge not just meta-studies

Sure I'm not arguing the data isn't best interpeted by an expert, just that they represent an analysis of hundreds of studies, not a couple randomly selected papers.

Listening to something while you sleep obviously makes a huge difference, that's why those subliminal weight loss tapes worked so well

When our daughter was born we ran a white noise machine for her. Once she was sleeping through the night we got one for us, it gave my wife the best sleep ever and absolutely trashed mine.

I have the best drat sleep when the room is below 16°c and I have a weighted blanket.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

like i mentioned before, my current sleep issues have nothing to do with background noise and just the fact that i'm a pushover when the cat is crying at my door to come in because they'll sit there for a half hour if they need to. they know i'm weak

Honestly I think it's worth pointing out again that Quinton wasn't badly regarded here when he was doing the Fallen Titan videos or when he was doing Garfield road trips and finding lost Garfield comics. He's not an irretrievably awful youtuber, he's just spent so loving long making the blandest poo poo that might as well have been read directly from Wikipedia for all the opinion and insight it offered.

At the end of a four hour video by hbomb or Noah Gervais you know their opinion on something and how they arrived at it. At the end of a Quinton video now you know he's definitely watched the thing the video is about.

i hated quinton after watching his fallen titans video about Tobiscus where he spent 15 minutes of a 30 minute video sullenly looking down and to the left of the camera talking about how he wasn't even sure if he was gonna post the video after The Allegations Against Tobiscus and then never actually talking about what the allegations against Tobiscus were
