why would it hurt me—or was it real?

youre wrong

your problems dont exist

if they do exist, theyre not as bad as usamerican problems

if they are as bad as usamerican problems, theyre not as important

if they are as important, you should stop complaining about them not acknowledging it because they literally used your problem as a gotcha in an argument/a learning moment for the global north

youre not a real person

youre wrong

Protect what holds you in its jaw

Like, you don't have to wait for the ideal time to start doing things that could make your life better

but "ignore the fear and just do it anyway" is such an unstoppable and inescapable message, but on a basic level it is not true that fear automatically goes away when you expose yourself to the feared thing. Fear goes away when you expose yourself to the feared thing by your own choice and free will (not forced, coerced, or out of resignation because it seems like the only option), and when the experience feels safe enough that it can be a positive or at least neutral experience and help heal the fear.

people are very attracted to the idea that others have problems because they are not strong enough or too weak-willed or sensitive. Many people seem to like to believe that everyone's problems come from unwillingness to "do the hard thing."

As someone who viciously hated herself from very early childhood for being not strong enough, too weak-willed, and too sensitive, I have found that the method of doing things in spite of their "hardness" through sheer stubbornness and pain tolerance only created minimal progress.

"Pushing through" is useful in some circumstances, but using it as a primary tool for facing challenges results in expending enormous energy and difficulty for very slow results.

You've come to the right place Anon!

If you're new to Godgame in general, it's a digital card game that was created by SocksBX, SnoruntPyro, and Rox300, on Tabletop Simulator

It's typically a 2-4 player game where everyone has cards they can use to attack others. The fun part is that the cards can be anything and they often have some crazy effects/powers. Theres a ton of videos on Youtube if you want to watch how the game is usually played!

NOW! Godgame TTRPG is where the mechanics of Godgame are formatted into a tabletop roleplay system! So some things differ from how they'd usually be played and theres more emphasis on character and story interaction.

There are actually a few GGTTRPGs out there but the Official Main Campaign is gm'ed by SocksBX with the players being KuuEater, RenoBee, and RobbyDude

(There is also a parallel campaign that takes place 3 months before the start of main campaign called Obsidian Eclipse, that's gm'ed by SnoruntPyro with players Socks, Dyvone, and theRealYocow)

For people just getting into GGTTRPG, I'd recommend watching the Player's perspective first! That way you can experience the story as the players do

Here's a playlist of the current streams from KuuEater's POV:

Each episode stream ranges from 4 to 6 hours long, but they have bathroom and water breaks through out!

Socks also has their own POV uploaded as well! I personally, don't watch it often because theres a lot of Behind the Scenes stuff that gets shown and I don't want to accidentally spoil myself since I watch the player's perspective. But! I do highly recommend check it out if you're interested in seeing behind the curtain on how Socks runs the game!

Anyway! I hope this helped you Anon! Godgame TTRPG is crazy to pitch to people but I really really love it. The story is so interesting, the characters are fantastic, and Socks, Kuu, Reno, and Robby are such amazing storytellers who are so funny to watch but also can deliver really emotional moments

Not a silly question at all!

Godgame TTRPG main campaign is currently on Hiatus! Storywise, the team is in the end game section of Chapter 5

One of the players is moving so they've put the campaign on hold till that's all done

I don't know when it'll come off of haitus but I'm hoping later this month. Only time will tell when it comes back but I would recommend following the socials of the GM and players (and join their discord servers if you're so inclined) to keep up to date with everything!

They're all on Bluesky!

GM: Socksbx

Players: KuuEater (Player POV streams), RenoBee, RobbyDude
