HABITICA: Your Fridge Is Stinky. Roll For Initiative!

Sometimes, but usually when it is harder to do the task, I also find the changing of difficulty really hard to do. I don't know why, but the amount of clicks and scrolling needed to change the difficulty just make me nope out of that. If it's a habit thing, I just click twice on the plus sign to kind of... make up for that.

 

Oh yay there is a thread here for this!

I just got back into HabitRPG because it's an Android app (omg) so I can put it on my phone! It's definitely more fun and rewarding than ticking items off vanilla task lists and memos. I've never done the social aspect of it, though.

 

How different is it with the social aspect? I tried it beginning of last year, I think (or maybe year before I'm not sure) and I stopped it like I stop all similar things- there was something I was freaking out about and getting into a shame spiral over and stopped checking HabitRPG out of guilt and then just stopped, even when I eventually did the thing. I never used the social either, because I have like 2 friends and I am pretty sure neither of them would do it- how does the party and guild stuff work?

 

Party: Someone starts it and invites other people. You go on quests and fight with them by checking off your dailies. If you miss a daily, your whole party gets attacked and looses hit points. Also where spells & skills come in handy, because you get to cast them on other people in your party.

Guids: Basically just a message board, but you can also participate in group challenges the guild comes up with. Check out the list on the wiki for some examples.

As for how different it is... can't really say. Haven't kicked around there enough yet.

 

ALSO would anyone join a party specifically for people who are trying to get back in the swing of things, since you're not exactly newbies?

 

@autopsyblue
I feel kinda interested but also hesitant. I don't really want to make other people lose hit points just because I forgot to eat lunch, or worse, because I didn't have the mental energy to go on Habitica and make sure I've checked shit off before bed. And I'm not sure if adding that kind of responsibility/guilt would actually make me more motivated to do things, or less motivated.

 

Eeeeh forgetting to do stuff every once and a while isn't that much of an issue, and I'm certainly not about to yell at you. As for the forgetting stuff, can you get the app for your phone? I take my phone with me everywhere so it's pretty easy to check off things as I do them.

 

@autopsyblue
It's more that a few of my dailies are things I want to do as part of my evening routine, so I don't really get the chance to check them off until bedtime... but I just got the app and I think it'll be helpful with that. (The site was frustrating on mobile because it kept making me log in and that was too much thinking right before bed.)

 

@garden check them in relation to the day before! It's what I do with my 3 before-bed dailies (brush teeth, chapstick, antidepressants). I check them off today if I did them last night. That way there's no rush to check them off before midnight and it's also not a problem if I go to bed a little later than usual and, for example, brush my teeth at 00:02

 

If you're talking about the iPhone app, they've greatly improved it. It used to be super frustrating but now it just does exctly what you'd expect it to.

 

You can also change the time at which habitica considers a new day. Instead of midnight I set mine at 3am so I tend to add the before bed stuff if I take too long

 

Yeah I have it set to be a new day at like 5 am, so that's not a problem.

also: today i ate lunch! which feels like less of an accomplishment when my roommate was the one going "do you want to go get lunch" and I was just thinking "sure ok guess i'm eating lunch instead of taking a nap," but whatever, I had lunch.

 

I've given up on structured meals tbh, I just try to keep track of how hungry I am and how long I'll be out.

 

i didn't mark stuff for two or three days :( i actually died again when i relogged today.

i do have a lot of dailies tho.

 

I would say it's a good enough reason, @jacktrash. I generally don't amount to much of anything when I am too cold. It really makes the executive functioning worse and the cold doesn't help with any pain I might have at that moment.

 

now begins the season of my comfort and jesse's grumbling.

Summer is the worst. We had 35 degree temperatures (celcius) here at some points. Good thing hospitals are climate controlled :P
