That's hilarious because I've done the same exact thing before except it was the watch menu from the Goldeneye Nintendo64 James Bond game. It worked for several years as a young lad.

Starcraft 2 is seriously the only game that's ever given me performance anxiety. There were days when I'd sit down to play and I'd already have nerves and just nope right out and watch GSL VODs of pro players instead. Seeing your rating and all that, Platinum to Diamond, then Diamond to Master, that game was rough and you were always at risk of cheese and basically getting harassed to death playing a traditional build order

On the other hand I enjoyed that game for years without ever touching multiplayer....

It's always weird because everyone talks about how stressful it was, but it never was to me because I could just pause/save and walk away.

Personally i didn't really have performance anxiety, but I would get really pumped every match with my pulse racing and sometimes even my hands shaking afterwards. I always had to take breaks in between ladder games, only after an hour or two it would normalize enough to queue repeatedly.

The cheese didnt bother me much, I always loved macro and did that every game behind good scouting, often leading to some timing attack I built up to like a stim bio timing or tank marine drop.

Sleep paralysis is the worst, you feel the presence of demons around you.

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Never had that, but waking up and not being able to move for 10 or 15 seconds is annoying. It was frightening when I was child, not anymore, but still, the thought "Did I have a stroke in my sleep?" until you jerk into movement is annoying.

This is my new answer to the "what super power would you like" question.

It's just you trying to break out of the Matrix, but you keep waking up back inside it.

Is it possible to learn this power?

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, there are practices you can adopt in every day life that make you more likely to experience lucid dreaming.

Certain mindfulness exercises to do during the day that essentially give your consciousness muscle memory that you later kicks in when you're dreaming and helps you you pull a bit of control into the dream.

If you have a Circadian rhythm disorder it helps.

As a kid I learned I could "rewind" my nightmares and go back and do things differently the second time. Lots of nightmares where I couldn't run fast enough to save myself I was able to rewind and run faster the second time around.

As a teen I learned that I could just deux ex machina my way out of any dream.

I was having one of my recurring stress dreams about not meeting societal expectations due to lacking resources. I'd had this dream a million times before, I'm desperate to pee and I'm in a labyrinth of broken toilets. Other people are coming and I going and seemingly peeing just fine and not getting lost in the labyrinth at all. but I can't figure out how they're using these broken toilets. Usually in the dream I just wander around anxiously looking to pee until I wake up (and notably, I don't actually need to pee). But this time I was lucid enough to decide, fucking this, the ceiling had been made of glass the whole time, and a dragon burst through to pick me up on the her back and burn the whole Loo-byrinth down.

So now I do that a lot. I was dreaming I was in a house slowly filling with green water and I may or may not have been a snake, but never fear, I summoned a goat from the thin air and gave it wings and we flew away.

I had a dream where the fat bastard from Austin Powers was roomates with Oscar the grouch and I'd been sold to them as a indentured maid and for some reason they were naked and I was deeply uncomfortable with the arrangement, that's when the lucidity kicked in, so I froze time and just walked away from the weird dream, deciding once I turned onto the main road I'd wake up because this was too bizarre to even come up with something better (I haven't even seen Austin Powers)

Anyone else do an image search just to get a good look at that menu again?

I'm old, so I always got up out of the dream and turned the knob to switch channels.
