If each member of my party picks a different one we can share, right?

Treasure stone, I have no idea why anyone else wouldn't choose it

[-] goose@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

Is everyone else really so confident? How is treasure stone not the obvious choice by a mile?

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

They think they're better than us

[-] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

I was gonna say, I desperately need the Treasure Stone

[-] replaceable@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

blanket, candle and mug are infinite energy sources so they are op, blanket has the greatest capacity for energy generation among them so it is objectively the best choice in this meta

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

Definitely the "magic blanket."

I can easily stim with it and I live in a cold place so, err, I kinda need it; the house I live in isn't really conducive to staying warm, not always...

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

I'm torn between the treasure stone and the cuddly bear ngl

[-] Meh@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

Same. I don't think of myself as repressed but I can never get a good cry on

I know right? I can take it with me and help my friends etc with one hug. I didn't see an emptiness expiration in the description. And , you have an immortal friend that loves you.

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

Blanket. It's fucking warm here. I'd just wear it always.

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

blanket/candle/mug are great bc they violate the laws of physics and you could probably become some kind of guru cult leader by showcasing them

but dream pillow is definitely the most fun

I could actually see cuddlybear being powerful. Market it as a psych treatment for depressed multimillionaires, get them hooked, and start extorting them for it. Also videotape them crying and blackmail them with it. That's right cracka I sell the opiates now

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

With the stone, you'll have the confidence you need to become a guru cult leader without a magic item.

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

you need more than just confidence, also I don't need any more of that

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

Magic blanket seems like a safe pick with a relatively low skill floor, but in the current meta I can't see myself choosing anything other than treasure stone. High risk and high reward. The only problem is that I see it being a popular ban during the draft.

[-] Sopje@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

Candle, pillow and cuddly bear together would cure my ptsd. Seems kinda rude to deny me that by making me choose.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

magic blanket if it also works to keep heat out, otherwise good dream pillow

[-] bubbalu@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

treasure stone, blanket, and cuddly bear are goated. I'm leaning treasure stone, but if the magic blanket can keep two people of different temperatures happy then its magic blanket handsdown. I would pick magic pillow but sometimes my nightmares are really beautiful and creatively inspiring. idk if that sounds too edgey lol.

[-] SummerIsTooWarm@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

Magic blanket, it would be great as a heatsink during summer

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

'right temperature always' has tremendous implications. gonna start a thermal energy facility by willing the right temperature to be 2000C

I already have cuddly bear so I think I'll have the good dream pillow

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The stone so I never have to forget LToV. It'd also be great for union drives and building solidarity etc.

[-] qtop@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

people are sleeping on the candle, no stress? i need this NOW

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

its definitely the blanket, with that I could walk through lava

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

Blanket, unless the good dream pillow magically makes you fall asleep too. Just let me sleep, plz, I am so eepe.

[-] Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

The blanket is OP i take that.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

Dog do you have any idea how much of a life changer that mug would be?

The perfect warm drink at the perfect temperature to enjoy it AND IT DOESNT ACCIDENTALLY SPILL EVER!

Nevermind the fact the blanket would be the perfect survival kit item I WANT MY LIQUID TREATS TO BE TASTY

[-] TraumaDumpling@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

gimme the dream pillow. i feel like less of a human than others because i can never remember dreams. like other people have these amazing often lucid fantasy adventures and meaningful psychodrama when they sleep, whereas i just go black inside and then wake back up in ShitWorld with maybe 1 or 2 vague sense/emotion impressions of something that was maybe cool or at least interesting that just piss me off more than if i remembered nothing at all. but alas i need to use weed for PTSD purposes or else i just sit around doing nothing in an executive dysfunction way and thinking depressing thoughts and feeling bad in an existential way all day. and yes i have tried dream journals, but you need to remember something to write it down. i could write 'i maybe had a dream about a house at night or something, there was a window and lights' and that would be like 99% of my dream journal entries. i keep waking up in the middle of the night, not enough to do anything (if i really 'got up' even enough to jot down notes, i wouldn't be able to get back to sleep), saying to myself 'i definitely was just dreaming, i'll definitely remember this well enough in the morning to write it down' and then its gone by the time i'm actually awake if there was anything in the first place and not just vagueness my half-asleep brain convinces itself was anything more than like 2 images and a vibe.

i had like another full paragraph/collection of run-on sentences of trauma dumping typed up here but i'm not posting it due to opsec reasons. you are welcome. be thankful that you are spared further inane whining ramblings of a depressed yet comfortable 30 year old failson/manchild.

This is normal for beginning to dream journal. Making entries like that is perfect. I do not know exactly how it works in the brain but I know from my own experience and others that if you consistently write down the little bits you do remember, your brain will gradually start retaining more.

i keep waking up in the middle of the night, not enough to do anything (if i really 'got up' even enough to jot down notes, i wouldn't be able to get back to sleep), saying to myself 'i definitely was just dreaming, i'll definitely remember this well enough in the morning to write it down' and then its gone by the time i'm actually awake

This also happened to me during this process and I think it's an important part. What I did was keep a scratch pad next to my bed. Wake up, do not turn on the lights or move much at all, and just scribble down something illegible. Alternatively turn on your voice recording app and mumble some nonsense. Go back to sleep as soon as your body wants to. It doesn't matter that in the morning you don't understand what you said or wrote. It's something about your brain being shown that it's important information to retain.

I use weed for PTSD too, and it definitely makes remembering dreams more difficult because you just don't have as many with the REM suppression. But since I've made a practice of dream journaling - you really do have to keep at it unfortunately - I still regularly have the sort of "meaningful psychodrama" dreams that I end up discussing in therapy and dissecting to better understand my own feelings.

[-] pastalicious@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

Do you by chance sleep very soundly? I find I only remember my dreams much if I slept like shit.

Dream pillow, I love good dreams and sometimes wish they'd never end.

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

Gimme the pillow. I always have wild dreams but I can never remember anything more than the vaguest details

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

I choose candle. I'll get a candleholder and carry it with me everywhere so that people around me chill the fuck out.

[-] omenmis@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

need cuddly bear in my bed immediately

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

good dream pillow obviously on account of my constant nightmares, I think that mugs going to lead to food poisoning

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago
[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago
[-] goose@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, no need to waste a pick on the mug. If you need caffeine to get going but get jittery from finishing coffee before it cools off too much, an electric mug will genuinely make your life better

If you wanna save $50 and avoid using an app, Nextmug is a good alternative to Ember

Mug gang mug gang

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

I'm saying mug so it doesn't feel left out. Ily cute watermelon mug

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

Good dream pillow should mean I get good sleeps and get big brains. But treasure stone means I could apply those big brains. I need both really.

[-] autism_2@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

[-] Jenniferrr@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

Between the candle and the bear. I think probably the candle

[-] mango@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

[-] Des@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

magic blanket because if things go to absolute shit just head north into the arctic and at least you have one element of survival covered magically

[-] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago
