š PERFECTIONISM š |

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 youāre 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. Itās crunch time, and those people donāt play around! Fixing computers, cars, home appliances, songwriting, etc. Thereās all sorts of different compulsive behaviors for whatever it is youāre 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 wonāt leave until their bedroom looks flawless.
Nobody is perfect, but thereās 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 doesnāt have to be perfect where youāll end up obsessing over it and losing sleep. This is also known as āMaladaptive perfectionismā where youāve 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 itās because you have anxiety about your writing style not being flawless enough for everyone else to understand. Or youāre self-conscious about posting because youāre afraid of how itāll 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 itās controversial, nobody seems to give a shit to post anything or reply because their feelings arenāt affected, I noticed that. So folks, are you obsessed with doing things perfectly, or is adequate satisfaction more up your alley?

BLOOD MOON š |

One of the most special phenomenons of all time (next to the blue moon). Itās not the rarest because the last one was back in November 2022, and the next one will be in September 2025; Iām pretty sure this one is visible for Australia, Africa, etc. If for some reason you fall asleep, or youāre unable to take photos of this special event, then you can always see it in the fall. Itās 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? Youāve 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, youāre thinking: āThereās no way in hell that I can be defeated!ā Itās funny how we all consider ourselves to be the best in the world at something when weāre on a serious winning streak. But unfortunately, thereās always that one person who comes along and obliterates us. Theyāre just lurking around in the dark shadows somewhere waiting to rain on your parade. To them, your game is hysterical. They donāt give a damn about your feelings, man. Theyāre here to win. Theyāre not here to play around with you, especially if thereās money on the line.
It can be quite devastating because youāre not used to taking an L. You thought you were really good until they show you that youāre a baby fish swimming with blood-thirsty, savage sharks who are on a higher level than you are. The steaks are high, thereās 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 whoopinā instead of *****inā about it because thereās always room for you to improve. On the flip side, you just hate to see that one person coming because you know youāre in for a nightmare from hell. Famous quote from Ric Flair: āTo be the man, you gotta beat the man!ā So to become the GOAT, you need to destroy your kryptonite whoās better than you and everyone else. This is why 10,000 hours in the lab is incredibly momentous because youāre putting in the work to achieve larger goals.
Iāll give you guys an example of a game that I was playing on my iPhone yesterday; these people are very competitive, so itās interesting. The name of the game app is called Blitz - Win Cash, and itās 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 Iām at $5⦠like wtf?! Iāve literally lost a lot of money playing people better than me.
Winning streaks will make you feel like youāre invincible. Nobody can defeat me, Iām 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 youāve let them all down. Now you have to hear it from them when you get home. Itās painful taking an L but itās a life lesson to grow and improve your game. When it comes to that one person, youāre kryptonite⦠subconsciously, youāre getting irritated with them because theyāre handing you Lās on a silver platter. Consciously, youāre 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 youāre not good enough. If youāre mentally strong, youāll 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; thereās a reason why the tortoise ends up beating the hare. So guys, how do you normally bounce back from adversity when youāre on a serious losing streak?

Where I've been |

Greetings, Idk if anybody remembers me, but I thought I'd make a blog post for the lulz
I've been here since the JV days. And some time in AF. I was 13 when I started getting into the community. And of course, me having the poor social skills I had at the time, made a lot of cringeworthy posts.
During the AF era, I was starting to get a little bit stale. Not only was Discord growing up in popularity, but the community was dying and I was noticing every time I said something somebody got mad at me. So one time I said something stupid on purpose and had a chuckle over the interesting response a certain user gave me. I then decided to leave for some years because I didn't want to post anything when it always resulted in trouble.
I was dumb, and toxic, and other stuff... When AF died and everyone moved to this site, I noticed that I didn't know pretty much anybody. I joined the Discord and noticed that too. So I left immediately.
So... I've kinda just been lurking. And I unfortunately don't have the interest I did in this community or its games anymore... but it's fun to look at the past and learn from it.
As for today: The country situation is absolutely terrible. The economy is the worst in the entire world. There's a lot of crime and the power keeps dying regularly... sometimes even 20 times in a single day (I'm not exaggerating by the way). But at least I got nice internet and real life friends, a gaming PC and fibre internet for once.
I'm also in the process of receiving an associate degree, wrote a book a few years ago (But unfortunately the book is terribly written, so I'm in the process of re-writing a Definitive+ edition along with a proofreader helping me out), been writing a comic and commissioning some artists to draw it, workingĀ on 3 youtube channels which are at least functional (They're not popular at all) and I'm currently enrolled in some courses to further improve my education.
A decade ago or so, I was diagnosed with autism and depression, which would explain my behavior. I didn't have anybody to teach me the way I acted, and I hated everything... I can't say my life is the absolute best, but it's definitely bearable right now. And my socialization aspects have greatly improved after working on them for a while.
I don't think I'll make any more posts after this blog, though. I always have been unable to adapt myself in online communities. And there's really not something I can contribute. But that's fine, I thought I'd just share this, again, for fun. I hope you guys are all doing well, it's unbelievable to me this community has been standing for so long!

Thankyou for preserving this site. Platform Racing and these forums were such an important part of my childhood. Seeing other peopleĀ 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 ultimateĀ 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 VillageĀ as much as I could after school. Thankyou for the good times and the good memories.

The Titan Frust |

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 @ MagniloquentĀ 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!
