@hallowhavyn I'm on appa but flirting with momo too after the buffs🙏 need to get more time with the game to really know

I'll try and find time to post routes

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@hallowhavyn which support are you running?

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@danielbrottman yessss

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@danidonovan ooh slightly adjacent but this reminds me Jack Kornfield has a really adhd-friendly perspective of beginning a practice, the chapter on it in his book is titled 'Training the puppy'

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@QiaochuYuan check out Judith Herman's Trauma and Recovery / Truth and Repair QC 🙏🙏

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@securetoexplore and it all helps point attention to the root cause of the hyperarousal which serves atleast two great purposes:

1. finds roots causes of hyper arousal like sensitivities / suppressed emotions

2. signals to self and others that the problem *is not* the apparent low lvl issue

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@securetoexplore 'my nose is blocked'
'my hands are freezing'
'my mind won't stop running'
'my neck/jaw/head is aching'

*may* all be most immediately addressable via direct nervous system down regulation despite each having appropriate lower-level responses, or worse marketed innappropriate ones

@zandowastaken it was bugged in a predictable and useful way last patch but this one its unpredictable and way worse 😅

aang though 👌 support?

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@Alvinfly_ fighting game mechanics/core systems became more 'legible' versions of themselves so they could be reliably reproduced in title after title by people with shallower understanding

that combined with tackling the challenge of accessibility(good but hard) has lead to worse outcomes

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@Alvinfly_ well actually to rephrase:

ppl who actually understood what made them fun were rare, didn't stick around with series that became ongoing IPs, & even if they did they had to compete with pressure from the greater body of ppl lacking understanding responding to market incentives

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@Scythe_LDN man knows about appa aang

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@GardeniaVisboer 🐟🐡🦈🐠🦐

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@nosilverv oh a biggie I'm boutta tackle that you might like

A Path With Heart by Jack Kornfield

though you might be beyond it already

Judith Herman's Truth and Repair seems 👌 too

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@zandowastaken lets goooo king

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@parakeetnebula @vividvoid Connor Harris is more on the biomechanical side, has excellent animation on his YT for absorbing all the hard knowledge needed to parse this stuff

Neil is more on the somatic side, discussing posture as an autonomic input/output 🙏

[Ephi @Ephi_BL]

@parakeetnebula @vividvoid it's being covered extensively by 'postural restoration' (work of Ron Hruska) and the various offshoots from it that have spun up

genuinely fantastic life changing stuff

It's made its way to physio YouTube with channels like Connor Harris, Zac Cupples, Neil Hallinan
