  • My gut is vanishing, ab like shapes are becoming visible. I will become as it's my moral duty as a leftie dude
  • Reading still strong. Starting Wheel of Time for the first time.
  • Game Development going well. Have some basic 2D platformer functionality.
  • Grinding leetcode because I need a job and sadly the stupid leetcode thing is a part of the hustle of finding a computer nerd job in 2024
  • My circle of friends seems to be shrinking, not getting texts back from people. I don't know if that's good or bad, or it's on me or on them
  • Getting back into playing games I love rather than playing games to pass the time.
  • Did some worldbuilding for my "dream project". I created the some Sea gods that the pirates worship for favor or pray to avoid their wrath.
  • Watched several game development behind-the-scenes and interviews on GDC from real indies to see what it's really like to make a project from zero
  • Listened to an audiobook version of W.E.B. Du Bois "The Souls of Black Folk"

Self Improvement

315 readers
4 users here now

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.

While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.

This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.

Rules and guidelines:

  1. Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

  1. Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

  1. Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
