How would you run a psychoanalytical setting?
What's a psychoanalytical setting?
>>97956357freudian psychoanalysis is a process of analyzing cognitive associations without bias or judgement to identify the root of a trauma and move past it>i fear driving, i panic, i shut down>i fear driving, i see that it reminds me of how my father died, i grieve for my father, process the trauma and overcome my phobiathere are other schools of psychoanalysis, but presumably a freudian one would follow a similar process (and heavily involve symbolism in dreams)im not OP btw, op is a fag
Is it possible to run a game where everything is all in le head, with PS1 graphics?
>>97957035>session #178>party defeats final boss>state it was all in le head>leave
>>97955680what kind of moron assumed that only those two options exist, 99% of cases the woman wouldn't examine it at all and consider it a normal tuesday
>>97956357Nogames nonsence.>>97957018Case in point.
>>97955680It’s transactional. He gets to see a beautiful woman, which improves his day, so he offers his seat, which improves hers.
>>97955680I will answer 'how' when you answer 'why'.
>>97957018Okay yeah, but how the fuck can that be a setting? Retarded.
>>97955680Are you attempting to find out how off-topic you can get before you get a vacation?
>>97957044the point was that the way you see the world is also a reflection of who you are, ie "but if she picked b we know something about her"
>>97955680If you want a Last Psychiatrist thread why don't you just go make one on /lit/, or /r9k/, or /x/, or some other insufferable hell hole.Are the sage arts truly lost?
>>97959399>dumbass exists>omg is X truly lost
>>97957697It's not that hard to imagine one, are you daft? How about "we're adventuring inside our unconscious!" and you tackle the characters/players defenses and repressions
>>97955680You've got the girl on the bed and she's all ready for it. She's a real stunner, she's got great big tits, she's really well stacked and you've got her legs up against the mantelpiece...
Tonight on 'It's The Mind' we examine the phenomenon of Deja Vu...that strange feeling we sometimes get that we've lived through something before.
>>97957018So, what, like a more stolid interpretation of Everyone is John?
Psychonauts. But that'd actually be cool instead of your retarded nogames contentfarm nonsense
>>97959449>are you daft?Yeah probably. That still sounds like retarded shit fart sniffers would get up to instead of playing real games.
>>97957044>assumed that only those two options exist, 99% of cases the woman wouldn't examine it at all and consider it a normal tuesdayThat's literally the entire point anon. The kind of person who simply assumes that nice things happen to her as a matter of course and people going out of their way to make life more convenient for you doesn't require any introspection is IN AND OF ITSELF a revealing characteristic of that person's inner world. If that same man in a suit had stood up and offered his seat to a scraggly homeless man on the way to a soup kitchen, do you think the homeless man wouldn't question it at all the way a beautiful woman does and simply treat it as "normal"? No, if the world bending over to accommodate your needs without even asking was his status quo, he wouldn't be homeless. Maybe he gets mad and assumes it's pity, maybe he's embarrassed, maybe he takes it as good will and it stays with him for a long time, but it's virtually guaranteed he'll have SOME thoughts about the interaction vs somebody who has NO thoughts because to them it's simply "how the world is"
>>97959655you're defining it as a nice and extra thing as opposed to one of millions of normal social interaction things that literally everyone including the hobo you're talking about experiences every day, thereby deliberately missing the point
>>97959763>nice and extra thingsomebody on a crowded subway getting up and offering their seat to you is a nice and extra thing.
>>97959776not inherently, it depends on the social context, the woman from the example would see things very differently depending on if she though she was being flirted at or noti do shit like that for anyone, for example i let people pass me at the cash register if they have only like one or two things while i have a full wagon load of stuff, i don't choose who i do it for based on their identity
>>97959655Wrong. You're too focused on your "women don't understand how privileged they are" angle of the example; instead she (you, everyone) is too focused on the kind of person they are to see the world as it is. If she thinks it was an act of kindness (instead of anything else) then you can tell something about the kind of person she isthe point is to defend against change
>>97959815>If she thinks it was an act of kindness (instead of anything else) then you can tell something about the kind of person she isThis is specifically an anecdote about a woman complaining to her psychiatrist about how she has trouble finding men interested in her, including those like the handsome man on the subway, which baffles her psychiatrist because "You DID meet that guy, what do you mean?" it's not just that she thinks the man on the subway was being nice to her, it's that she thinks he was JUST being nice to her, because she's so beautiful and has been treated a certain way because of that beauty her entire life she only recognizes interest and romantic pursuit from people who are explicitly overt and vulgar about it, because she thinks everyone else really is just kind and helping her for no good reason. But, as the anecdote points out, if this handsome man in a suit was really just being polite and would give his seat to anyone, why was he sitting down on the already crowded subway car when she got on and only stood up the moment he saw her? Someone who would really give their seat up for anyone wouldn't be sitting. He's not Prince Sattva using his body to feed a tiger's cubs, but her perception of reality is subtly warped by her experience so she thinks this handsome man is just being nice because everybody is nice to her, she thinks people going out of their way to be nice to her aren't interested at all, hence her lamenting about her love life
>>97959878>>97959796>"her blindness to the desires of men is necessary to her sanity-- that she doesn't want to believe that every man's interaction with her is sexual; she doesn't want to have to live in a world that only sees her naked. She wants the world to be... nice"
>>97959910there's similar anecdotes from trans men who after transitioning struggle with depression or even kill themselves because they feel like everyone is so much colder and meaner to them than before, because they're used to how people treated them as an attractive woman and not a short, average looking (they can't all be Buck Angel) man
>>97959878Correct, but that's not what you said (assuming that was you) before.>vs somebody who has NO thoughts because to them it's simply "how the world is">..and people going out of their way to make life more convenient for you doesn't require any introspection..Why say it like that? like "the woman wouldn't examine it", that's irrelevant. The point was not a comparison between two choices, or how stupid or incapable of introspection she would have to be to not see otherwise; but what the choice (ANY choice, that's irrelevant) means about the person making it.
>>97959933And to be clear, "the choice" is how you choose to see the world, what you think is "obvious" about reality; so you won't think you're choosing it (you'll think that's just how it is, it's the truth, that's how the world is etc) It's not a conscious choice; that's where defenses are hidden, in what you know is obvious
All this discussion about how attractive women perceive the world reminds me of that one video where a youtuber stops random passersby in a Russian city to take photographs of them. Every single one looks at the camera with a slight smile on their face--the default reaction, I imagine, to having a random photographer ask you to pose naturally. But then the youtuber exclaims, "Wow, you're beautiful," and to a one all of them react similarly with a moment of surprise and then laughter as they break out into a much more genuine, wide smile, which the youtuber then takes a photograph of. All except one particularly attractive woman, who reacts to the compliment by not reacting at all, and it is in fact the photographer who ends up breaking out into awkward laughter to fill the silence because the moment he was waiting for never arises. Meanwhile she continues to stare at the camera with her same initial slight smile, only with a little confusion pulling at her brows at his strange laughter. I believe screenshots of this woman still get posted with some regularity in other boards like /int/.Anyhow, it made me realise how different attractive people have it. To them, being called beautiful is a completely normal occurrence. How is this thread still up? Feels like /lit/ in here.
>>97959920even if they do end up as buck angel they're in for a completely different social reality that growing up as a comparatively coddled woman hasn't prepared them for
