I used to have wristbands - green, yellow, and red - that I'd switch between. Lost the green and yellow ones around 2020 or so. If that isn't a metaphor, I don't know what is.
-
Why is your mental fortitude going down, I'm just TALKING to you!?
-
And constantly have the Pokémon alarm sound when I’m in the red? No thanks.
-
“Why did you eat the entire glass of olives out of the fridge?”
Me pointing at my increasing mental health bar.
-
like hell it would. It would just let awful people know who to abuse.
-
Damn, it would be a fun time every day at work with my coworkers constantly seeing my bar at 10-20% and slowly going down
-
I'd love to have boss music start playing when there are enemies nearby so I know it's time to leave.
-
hears boss music at home
chuckes "I'm in danger"
-
-
I'd love to have one for myself. That would help so much
-
Yeah, a lot of time I don't know if I am just fine or too tired to feel anything...
-
Happy Cakeday
-
Happy cake day!
-
-
FINISH HIM!!!!
-
staring in shocked horror at anyone with a full bar
-
Then you end up with Rimworld mental breaks.
-
I could go for a Sad Wander right about now tbh
-
I am a catatonic breakdown fan

Current status: binging smokeleaf

I'm a multiple healthbar boss! I break down but I keep going!
-
Like Mysterio in Spider-Man 2?
-
-
Twist: We already do. Everyone's is just empty.
-
I've seen Scott Pilgrim. It would just be another way to sell you energy drinks which promise to improve your health bar.
-
When it gets low enough, it starts beeping like the health bar from LoZ LttP and takes itself out the rest of the way
-
My smart watch kinda does this. It has a concept called body battery that tries to calculate the amount of rest you get vs the amount of energy you use.
-
This would be awesome, I could go around hitting people with clutch complements, and moral support and see their heath bar go up.
-
That would stress me out, causing my health bar to go down, which would stress me out even more, causing my health bar to go down, which would....
-
Debuffs would be helpful as well so I know wtf is wrong with me
-
I feel like I have a Fallout style health bar, but instead of rad counters it's old age counters. My max available HP drops over time, with the space being filled up with pain. Not to mention permanent debuffs like "arthritis," and "bad knee."
-
An energy bar too.
-
The mental one would be a sekiro-esque posture indicator
-
I'd like to know what that health bar says for me.
Oi.
-
Mob Psycho in real life.
-
Mines been stuck at 0 for decades, no its not broke.
-
My bar is empty. Oh well.
-
I'd be doing a sl 1 run with 1 HP..
-
Would that not ruin the surprise breakdown??
-
MENTAL BREAK: BERSERK
-
That's the sanity bar, from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Except having a meltdown in that game was like, walking into a room and having a delusion that your controller is disconnected, or a cockroach crawls across the screen, or all your arms fall off.
That was a great game.
-
I'd basically be doing a Red Tear Stone Ring run. 1HP, but super strong.
-
i was really considering the rig from dead space!
was doing sketches, i mean it would just be LEDS and tubing, might be considered faddish though
-
What that would actually mean is more empathy and more openness from everyone. Sounds good.
-
Would also be used to torture people to just before they died.
-
Your boss would absolutely exploit it.
-
...
You're saying people being more open and empathetic would be bad because of torture? Or did you reply to my comment on accident?
Edit: Actually, I think I get it. I expressed myself badly in the comment above. I meant that more openness and empathy would be a realistic version of the stat bar thing, not that having magical stat bars would lead to more empathy and openness.
-
-
also easier bullying, because bullies know exactly what's effective and when to bully
-
-
People used to feel that instinctively.
Then capitalism, especially in the US, incentivized people to always look "fit" so people hide their true emotions.
-
Then capitalism slept with my wife!

Till you want to apply for a job but your bar isn’t green enough.
Then have the wealthy class try to distinguish themselves by always having a full green bar while the politicians balance your means to make the majority just miserable enough to always be light orange.
Exactly. My first thought seeing this was that shitty people are going to gamify making people more miserable now that they can see exactly how well they're doing.
Omg, you made a terrible idea terrifying. I think you nailed it in the head only they would keep at least 25% to 50% at the red limit just to incentivise the yellow bars.
If we want to talk about the current scales the greens would be holding us to a 60% red line rate. I'm not current but I'm guessing the average American living paycheck to paycheck is around 60% now.
