750 Words — Habit RPG

It’s been a while since my last post, and that was kinda a cheat post since it was copy-pasta’d from my Tumblr.

So I’ve recently come across an app called Habit RPG (click here for Apple version) to aid in my efforts to building better habits and getting rid of bad ones to work around my ADHD. I’ve tried a similar app before, but it wasn’t quite so fleshed out, and didn’t have a reward or punishment system, so there wasn’t much incentive to complete the tasks I’d put on the list. There also was no social aspect, and while I’m not a social person in general, Habit RPG (HRPG) has a very supportive social community; plus I’m trying to work on my socializing skills anyway.

I was pretty skeptical myself, but it has worked surprisingly well for me in the two or three weeks that I’ve been using it. You earn gold and silver for completing tasks, and use that to purchase rewards (which you can set for yourself). In addition, once you reach level 10, you can pick a class. There are guilds, and you can create/join parties to take on quests. Completing tasks does damage to the bosses in the quest, while missing an item on your dailies list results in everyone in your party taking damage. Each class has specific skills that come into play when fighting bosses, so the developers have really done a good job into making HRPG feel like an actual game.

The reason why I’m actually writing this post is because I took up a challenge in one of the guilds I’m in (you can join multiple), where one writes 750 words a day. The challenge described it as just having a 750 word brain dump session before the user gets onto actually writing the stuff they want to write for the day, but I’ll probably use it to help me write the thoughtful, planned out blogs that I usually post as well. Besides, it’d probably get tiring to see a 750 word post of senseless rambling every day. Or maybe you guys would find it amusing, I dunno.

750 words is turning out to be a lot more writing than I expected (approximately 3 pages, as per the task instruction). I might have to tweak it to be shorter, otherwise this might devolve quickly. Then again, the point of the task is to just type thoughts freely as a warm-up exercise, I suppose, so really, I might be defeating the purpose of the challenge by trying to actually write something meaningful. I guess I’ll stop the directed thoughts right here and instead type up my uncensored, scattered thoughts for the remainder of my 750-word quota.

Here we go, okay. What should I type. Gosh, stop thinking about things to talk about and just type, already. Blah. Oh, people are talking in the HERPco Haven chat. Ahh, Ang thinks she’ll get to 110 for this SCQ event. I’ll be lucky if I can make it to 100. I really want the 100 level demon. She’s pretty and has a good skill, plus I need more 5* demons for my CQ team. It’s a shame that Hand of God has rather low stats and a low trigger rate for her skill, but I guess what else can you expect for the level 80 demon? Especially since more free players can get there, and Zynga would rather people have to pay in order to obtain the good cards.

Can’t believe I’m talking about AGG here, and that I’m thinking about it so much. But I guess that’s to be expected — it’s become a pretty big part of my life since I joined the +Anima guild in March. +Anima was a pretty good manga. I should reread it sometime. What what, in the butt. Fusk, I hate Dennis for showing me that song. Not that I necessarily dislike it, it had a pretty catchy beat in it, but I mean, it’s talking about butt sex. :/

Besides, it also reminds me of the Rick Roll, and while I also do not dislike that song, the what what song isn’t something I want to remember. And now I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed, to something something all up that’s in my head, aiii! I don’t know the lyrics to that song, but thas fine. I doubt many do. Makes me think of Cameron every time lol, though I guess I made that association concrete myself by making that song his ringtone. And now I’m thinking of Jinkan no Tanaka, which just reminds me of Nightmaren. Jinkan no Tanaka is also really catchy lol. Can’t remember what ringtone I have set for Churrrlie, though I remember at one point it was the theme for the wise owl in Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. Oh look, 793 words, I can stop now yayyyyy.
