mental health break ,./'"**^^$_---
I had an epiphany the other day. See, I was playing Balatro and I opened an arcana pack. And I sat there, and I stared at the tarot
cards, unable to make a decision for a minute or two. The other night I was watching Feinberg and Fulham play some Balatro, and it occurred to me that they were a lot more decisive than I was being. I realized that I was doing a bad job judging between the different options. They were coming up with a plan and then looking for cards that fit with their plan, whereas I was looking at the cards in front of me and trying to react to them. This difference between perceiving and judging is the difference between the last letter in Meyers-Briggs personality type. I used to be an INTJ and then at some point I became an INTP—focusing more on perceiving and reacting rather than being able to judge things off of a pre-existing standard. I said to myself, still looking at the Balatro cards, “okay, I’m going to try to make a judgment here. I’m going to turn on the part of my brain that makes judgments” and I did, and I promptly judged that playing Balatro was not a good use of my time and I hit Options, Main Menu, Quit.
