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
Endless candle and cuddly bear seem op. I think I'd go with the endless candle build, because cuddly bear build may cause a side effect of people perceiving you the wrong way if you cry too much. Magic blanket feels appealing because of the perfect temperature though.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
i hate alcohol, just makes me nauseuous and fatigued and self-conscious and scared. i don't really even like being around drunk people even though i pretty much have to since one of my best friends is an alcoholic, it's exhausting and scary every time for me.
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
Magic blanket, summers here too hot, winters too cold and my ass can't afford any comfort, so that's a clear winner. As for the rest, dream pillow don't really need I can lucid dream already, any candle sets off the smoke alarm, the teddy doesn't seem to be anything special and I have cuddly kitties, the favorite mug is interesting but nah unless I can use it on warmed water, that'd be hilarious but still not as nice as the blanket, I don't see what being braver will do, I'm already here afterall.
Candle probably does it best, since the cup specifies warm - and if you take an extremely cheesy interpretation of "stress" then it might apply to material stress, for added reality-breaking consequences.
