Yeah, I've been meaning to watch it for a long time, but never got around to it. Saw this rerunning and took to opportunity to finally watch it.

Considering the two fall anime I've been watching are literally Kandagawa Jet Girls and Azur Lane, I'm due for something that's actually considered to be good.

Finally started Re:Zero with the Director's Cut showing. Figured I could just keep up with it weekly this way.

Looks like it's essentially the BD version of it.

So far so good. Outside of a certain spoiler, I don't know much about it.

It's convenient for things I only use on my computer or for like one-time things such as when I'm sending out job applications.

But for accounts that you use on multiple devices, I don't know what's the better alternative. Like I don't think you'd use one for your Nintendo account.

On the flip side, now your accounts aren't as likely to get broken into, since those passwords won't be on a dictionary that came out of security breaches on websites.

That said, password managers are a thing so you don't have to remember your passwords. And did you like not have email accounts that you could have used to reset passwords?

First, I'm gonna quote some stuff I said in a different topic since it's pretty related, but not all of it may apply to you.

WhiteLens posted...
if it's about racing thoughts, there are 2 things you can do. There's the mindfulness approach, where you just accept the thoughts that come in and don't react to them. You can't control what thoughts pop-up, but you can control how to react to them. It's best to acknowledge that thoughts are just thoughts, that they'll come and go if you let them do so without reacting to them. Trying to push thoughts away can lead to the thoughts coming back even stronger.

The other approach is to get out of bed when you can't sleep, and do something that'll calm you down. This is particularly a good idea when your mind is really anxious because you don't want your body to associate your bed with anxiety and frustration. Just do something relaxing until you're sleepy or relaxed enough to go back to bed. What you do can really be anything, just keep in mind that the goal is to get you to relax, not fall asleep. Doing anything with the intention of getting you to sleep does the opposite and keeps you awake.

Last piece of advice is to get up and out of bed at the same time. The only thing that really dictates you going to sleep is your own sleep drive, and the only thing that'll raise your sleep drive is being awake. Thus getting up at the same time gives you an anchor to start building your sleep drive. Ideally you should be going to bed at the same time, but you really only want to be going to bed when you're sleepy.

Biggest thing to remember is that you can't force sleep to happen, and "trying" to sleep often does the opposite, keeping you awake. It's something that happens on its own, and good sleepers don't think anything about their sleep.

Next, these have been my go to YouTube channels for dealing with insomnia

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_tdQDMQon0CfD0xAbZPNDg/videos
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL5LsLUeVA2j_Vsl5625shQ/videos

They have a lot of videos, but it's mostly their early videos that explain CBTi. Most of their other videos is just them addressing common worries about insomnia, and sometimes they're repeating themselves. They're good to watch if you have some of those same worries.

The nice thing about Daniel Erichsen, the guy in the first link, is that if you email him or leave a comment in any of his videos, he may respond in a new video with some advice for you.

This is a new channel that I discovered fairly recently:

https://www.youtube.com/user/steveorma/videos

I'm actually familiar with the guy running it, I think it provides a good overview of the problems that caused insomnia and how to deal with it.

There's also a chance that your local library has books on how to treat insomnia. You just have to make sure that it's a book about dealing with insomnia specifically, and not books on sleep in general. Because reading about all the negative effects from the lack of sleep when you're already having trouble with sleep is only gonna cause more anxiety and make sleep harder to get. (The famous book, Why We Sleep, is probably the biggest perpetrator for this)

Something to keep in mind is that it can take awhile to see any effects, after all you're trying to reverse something you had for a decade. It does take a lot of persistent and consistent effort to get through it. None the less, I do hope you get past your insomnia.

Remasters shouldn't be allowed, but full-blown remakes should be fine.

But the games I'd have trouble considering are Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D, and Wind Waker HD.

WW HD might be ok since it got a huge graphic overhaul, but I'd be sort of against allowing the N64 Zelda 3D games in. Those would open another set of problems...

Though I guess it could be interesting to see if OoT 3D would still win a contest.

Dude, look into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. It's considered the gold standard for treating insomnia.

It's actually not good to rely on medicine for sleep in the long run. They don't give you very good sleep quality, and you develop a psychological dependency on them.

trdl23 posted...
Its pretty much permanent with me since H1N1 messed up my brain stem.

It's actually quite common for someone to go through a life event that triggered their insomnia, but the insomnia still persists even after what triggered it has past. It's how people develop chronic insomnia.

Insomnia is predominately a psychological issue and thinking something is like wrong with your brain can keep the insomnia going, especially if you're prone to getting anxious all the time.

What's happening is that your body is constantly activating an arousal system, and what CBTi does is suppose to address your thought patterns and behaviors around sleep and ease your mind.

I can provide a few resources for it (mainly YouTube channels), but the thing to keep in mind is that sleep is suppose to be something that happens naturally, and constantly being worried about it and the effects of lack of sleep, will only make sleep harder.

I'm gonna piggy back this topic and ask, how were the Gagharv Trilogy for Legend of Heroes? They're the 3 games released on PSP before Trails.

I know there's some confusion with:

Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch is actually the 1st game in the trilogy in Japan
Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion is really the 2nd game of the trilogy
Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean is still the 3rd game, and is recommended to be played last anyways regardless of the order you play the previous 2 games in

I'd say Halo 5, but odds are the person you're gifting it to already has it.

If it doesn't have to be an XBone exclusive, then it's actually not hard to find one since it's anything the PS4 would also have.

Super Lucky's Tale, Sea of Thieves, or Sonic Forces are probably the safe picks.

So would it be better to use the UoC tickets for his prism and then use the two dupes I have of him for his STMR?

Actually is that approach better for 7*s? Using the tickets for the prism so the dupes can go towards the STMR. Given that you actually have to tickets to do so.
