zoning out/center extreme focus

[Bubblesong]

I was thinking more ChatGPT. Smells like AI to me.

What i did was I wrote 2 paragraph lot of it was insulting and stuff that I wanted to avoid, because I wanted to explain what my issue is and why it bothers me to much in a way that wouldn't create trouble, then I used Grammarly to correct my tone and wording not for the reasons Jeeqbit listed, but because I go from one to zero in things I write including personal stories And I wanted to have a tone that wouldn't get me into trouble, which I'm starting to question why I bothered now... since People can't seem to understand why its a god damn struggle playing something then zoning out for hours at a time, to a point I pissed myself because I was to zone out to have any awareness. So yes I used a tool to help it although now I'm starting to wish I wrote it how my original two paragraphs were, maybe if I used my anger and frustration that things cause when they don't make me use my brain and trigger the sparks within my brain causes, I'm not even joking why this is an issue when people scream accessibility and simplification is good when its not its only good for people with 0 brain funcation. I'm trying really hard to not.. go berserk now seeing people cant understand why some people need something like what i've been saying

I can understand that, to a degree--I just think that if playing FFXIV does this to you, it's not something that SE can really address. There are limits to accessibility, and SE is not going to change the entire makeup of combat from a GCD and tab-targetted based combat because of this. You have to take care of yourself. Even if SE does revamp combat, they are not going to be doing it on any timeframe where you should subject yourself to something that clearly causes you actual suffering.

Find and play games that don't hypnotize you to that degree, and do it now, for your own health.

It's not that I don't understand. A lot of people who play the game have ADHD, so it's not like I've never met players struggling with it and needing to play busy jobs or switch jobs to keep them engaged.

It's just SE shouldn't be expected to necessarily cater the game to specific disabilities at the expense of everyone else.

As for adding accessibility generally, SE and arguably most companies aren't great at that. Because their primary focus is people without all the different disabilities that exist. To be fair, even if they accounted for 20 different disabilities, someone would still say their disability isn't accounted for, so it's a challenging thing even if they do bother.

SE aren't known for responding or barely acknowledging a lot of the posts here, so how you worded the original post isn't really relevant anyway, providing it's within the forum rules.

Yet they do the reverse for the lazy dumb shits playing the game who won't do anything and dumb down and remove things from every job for dumb people expecting one or2 jobs that does meet the need doesn't effect everyone lol, if they cant do that then they just dont play those jobs, I mean I'm pretty even my cats could play the design on jobs perfectly I might record it after I get them some cat nip to put on the keyboard to keep their interest lol


I mean really vast majority of player base doesn't even know what a prime number is without help 2nd grade basic math people are 2 stupid to do in the game that is just... sad not even complexity just basic math lol

lol this gave me a good chuckle. So now you're mad that people didn't immediately grasp that one boss in the Ivalice raids? Nevermind the fact that in reality one is a prime number, which will mess people up because some mathematician in the game decided that it's not. And you wouldn't know that unless you read the notes scattered around the raid. Secondly knowing basic math is one thing, knowing how that applies to mechanics is another. Also I want to add that kids play this game too. I just don't understand the vitriol here. You just want a game to cater to you is all I got out of that rant and anyone not like you is lazy and dumb lol

Catering is expecting everything to be like that asking for 1 job that requires some cognitive abilities isn't, and that was just one example lol do people not understand an example, ALSO AGAIN THAT 2ND GRADE LEVEL unless your kid is 4 years old there is 0 excuse in that


What your expecting is catering to the dumbest of the dumb by making everything so stupid and requiring 0 brain activity to do is catering expecting 1 job out of what 13 now or so isn't that's expecting something FOR EVERYONE not just the short bus crew

Good bait, especially by staying vague and avoiding anything specific, all the usual forum suspects immediately chimed in and filled the void.

The number one is in fact, in reality, not a prime number.

not bait just because it makes you feel bad, its the truth period its a struggle to stay aware when playing the GAME becauses it so dumb to combat pve wise requiring 0 brain processes leading to zoning out and disassociating, its sad when a party IQ of 8+ people only adds up to 80 at most, you get on a game to play A GAME which requires somethings requiring some basic engagement lol






I wish I was joking I really do, because it legit feels like my brain is rotting and suffering trying to remain focused on pve with everything job-wise at most requiring 2 brain cells to use if that

As I said, good bait. I appreciate the immediate jump to appeal to emotions, shows a very solid grasp of the fundamentals. The resident forum clown could learn a lot from you.

Getting a lot of those recently in these forums.

learn something new everyday. It's literally what I learned in school. And when it comes to pedagogy sometimes the earlier lessons are made simplest before getting into more advanced subjects. For example, when i looked up prime numbers after seeing your comment, the definition is not what I was taught in school. And my life doesn't require that i know that one is not a prime number. So when I saw it in game I assumed this was an in world logic.
