| ? PERFECTIONISM ? |

Have you ever worked on something significant and found yourself always tinkering with it? While you do want it done the right way, it can be highly stressful nitpicking and sorting through all the things that may already appear to be correct the first time. In a way, this can lead to someone having compulsive behavior (perfectionism OCD) towards fixing things because they have these unhealthy, intrusive thoughts and urges to improve something that appears to be right the first time. Perfection is a double-edged sword because while it can teach you to do your absolute best in what you do, it can be contagious because then you’re constantly finding yourself making everything else perfect.
This type of behavior can be spotted at your job when your manager wants everything done a certain way, perfectly in a timely manner. It’s crunch time, and those people don’t play around! Fixing computers, cars, home appliances, songwriting, etc. There’s all sorts of different compulsive behaviors for whatever it is you’re going through. For example, you might frequently check your bedroom (before you leave your house) to see if everything is flawlessly and neatly put away, sequentially. While a perfectionist won’t leave until their bedroom looks flawless.
Nobody is perfect, but there’s always room for improvement to make things better until it meets decent satisfaction. When it does meet satisfaction, then you need to stop tinkering with it and move on. Having a strong desire towards giving your best effort in doing something is one thing, but it doesn’t have to be perfect where you’ll end up obsessing over it and losing sleep. This is also known as “Maladaptive perfectionism” where you’ve placed these extremely high, unrealistic standards on yourself to perform a task, flawlessly.
Maybe this is why a lot of you refuse to post threads on JV. Perhaps it’s because you have anxiety about your writing style not being flawless enough for everyone else to understand. Or you’re self-conscious about posting because you’re afraid of how it’ll be perceived by others. Ultimately, this ends up turning you guys into lurkers who just logs on and reads things without giving your two cents, correct? So unless it’s controversial, nobody seems to give a shit to post anything or reply because their feelings aren’t affected, I noticed that. So folks, are you obsessed with doing things perfectly, or is adequate satisfaction more up your alley?

One of the most special phenomenons of all time (next to the blue moon). It’s not the rarest because the last one was back in November 2022, and the next one will be in September 2025; I’m pretty sure this one is visible for Australia, Africa, etc. If for some reason you fall asleep, or you’re unable to take photos of this special event, then you can always see it in the fall. It’s not like the blue moon where it happens occasionally. Anyone preparing to go see it and take pictures?

When was the last time you thought you were really skilled in something? You’ve got tons of experience, you know all the tricks and secrets, the cards are always dealt in your favor, and you have the right mindset to crush your opponents leaving them in your dust. At this point, you’re thinking: “There’s no way in hell that I can be defeated!” It’s funny how we all consider ourselves to be the best in the world at something when we’re on a serious winning streak. But unfortunately, there’s always that one person who comes along and obliterates us. They’re just lurking around in the dark shadows somewhere waiting to rain on your parade. To them, your game is hysterical. They don’t give a damn about your feelings, man. They’re here to win. They’re not here to play around with you, especially if there’s money on the line.
It can be quite devastating because you’re not used to taking an L. You thought you were really good until they show you that you’re a baby fish swimming with blood-thirsty, savage sharks who are on a higher level than you are. The steaks are high, there’s a bunch of money on the line, and the last thing that you want to do is go home empty-handed. You see, nobody likes to lose… and I mean nobody! So when you do lose in something like poker, pool, sports, chess, or whatever it is… then you start to wonder what you did wrong.
Now you must learn to tuck your tail between your legs and accept that ass whoopin’ instead of *****in’ about it because there’s always room for you to improve. On the flip side, you just hate to see that one person coming because you know you’re in for a nightmare from hell. Famous quote from Ric Flair: “To be the man, you gotta beat the man!” So to become the GOAT, you need to destroy your kryptonite who’s better than you and everyone else. This is why 10,000 hours in the lab is incredibly momentous because you’re putting in the work to achieve larger goals.
I’ll give you guys an example of a game that I was playing on my iPhone yesterday; these people are very competitive, so it’s interesting. The name of the game app is called Blitz - Win Cash, and it’s quite simple - you create an account, follow the rules, invest real money into your account, and play games against real people to earn real money. Yesterday, I played Black Jack 21. I was on a serious winning streak until something went wrong, suddenly, and I started getting my ass handed to me by more experienced players. I was just shy of $40 (that I had accumulated during my winning streak over time) then suddenly I’m at $5… like wtf?! I’ve literally lost a lot of money playing people better than me.
Winning streaks will make you feel like you’re invincible. Nobody can defeat me, I’m the man! Well, that is until that one person (if not multiple people) comes along and obliterates you. Now your pockets are empty and you have nothing to cash out with. Even with sports, you could be playing for a specific team in the NBA or NFL, and your friends and family were betting on you with Draft Kings and you’ve let them all down. Now you have to hear it from them when you get home. It’s painful taking an L but it’s a life lesson to grow and improve your game. When it comes to that one person, you’re kryptonite… subconsciously, you’re getting irritated with them because they’re handing you L’s on a silver platter. Consciously, you’re considering thanking them for showing you a better way to improve your game.
Losing streaks will make you feel devastated because over time the message will get rooted into your brain telling you that you’re not good enough. If you’re mentally strong, you’ll overcome these adversities and have the fortitude to succeed in the future. So with Black Jack 21, yes I was pissed because a more experienced player was kicking my ass. However, I watched the footage and learned something about myself compared to him. I learned that I was jumping too far ahead and going too fast, while their game was much more methodical and slow-paced; there’s a reason why the tortoise ends up beating the hare. So guys, how do you normally bounce back from adversity when you’re on a serious losing streak?

It would be nice to have the option to press a hotkey that restarts the current level if you are playing it alone. That's all for now, have a nice day!

Thankyou for preserving this site. Platform Racing and these forums were such an important part of my childhood. Seeing other people rediscover this site again put a smile on my face, I was surprised I even recognized some of the usernames. Platform Racing 2 was the ultimate creative outlet, being able to build and design levels and share them with people to play was a dream come true. I used to message people and create threads in Jiggmin's Village as much as I could after school. Thankyou for the good times and the good memories.

In 2024, I made a monstrosity of a net frust named Hyperion. It is the hardest net frust ever completed. I beat this level shortly after completing its construction, followed by @ Magniloquent and @ EpicMidget, who I commend for their unwavering determination and unmatched will to succeed. I recorded my entire 93-minute run but never released the video to be seen by the JV community. Today, I cut down the video and removed most of the dead time to create a more satisfying video. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to present a video of the entire titan frust, [Hyperion] by AspectZero.
Thank you all for watching, and I hope I've improved your day a little!

Hello everyone!
I'm back around these parts. Inspiration has brought be back. I enjoy creating things for PR2, so I will build unique new levels and post more YouTube content.
I'm going to make a lot more TASes for fun levels. I would be grateful if someone could send me the updated Block Editor!
If you have a level for which you'd like to see a TAS made, I'm all ears! Send it over, and I'll create a list. Your suggestions will make this even more fun as I try to optimize your levels!
I'll be avoiding the community Discord servers for reasons I don't wish to discuss publicly, so if you need to contact me, send me a private message here on JV2. I'm happy to answer any questions or discuss PR2 in general.
That's all for now. Take care, everyone!
