The only anxiety I felt was from the daily blue chest (having to find them, especially when we got the expansion pack and there was twice the area to search). When I stopped caring about it and no longer even search for it daily, that stress disappeared. I refuse to buy moonstones for this game. If I can’t buy all the premium shop items, oh well. Same with Dreamsnaps. Once I stopped caring about the results and just enjoyed the process, it made everything so much more enjoyable and zero stress.
From what I'm seeing they have fixed it so the chest will only appear in the main valley now, I havent seen one spawn on the isle since the update before last so hunting is a lot easier now. *Also tip for hunting your chest you can go into build mode to search so you dont have to run around everywhere *
@MrStarInSky Figaro’s house is supposed to match Minnie’s house because apparently Walt Disney loved him so much that after Pinocchio Figaro became Minnie’s pet …. Never knew this myself, but thought I’d share a little probably mostly unknown trivia
I don't think most people are literal when they say that they are terrified and whatnot about the update. I think to MYSELF that I am scared of the update because I know there will be glitches, but I'm not actually feeling fear. But, if people are literally feeling this way, it may be time for a break. There are enough things in life that are out of our control to stress about. A game should be relaxing and enjoyable.
The only time I feel “anxious” (and I wouldn’t even call it that) is when I’m running behind and might not be able to finish an event like the star path or other time restrained event
DDV is a breath of fresh air for me, I don't like playing most "cozy" games because of the timers they add to days, it's very stressful even with timer sliders like coral island I still find it difficult to get everything day within that day/year. I prefer games that work with real time like DDV and Animal Crossing.
Me and my sister started playing DDV together after receiving Switches for Christmas in 2022. I play almost every day, making sure I get the new items at Scrooge’s store and making sure I play every event and keep up with the latest news via Twitter or through content creators on TH-cam, however, my sister who did play for a few months like this too, feels differently about the game now. She experiences a lot of anxiety and pressure to get events completed or to complete the star path. She doesn’t keep as updated with news anymore (watching videos and such) I usually bring up valley news to her or I’ll tell her when the latest event is about to drop, even though she now doesn’t take part. She describes the feeling of going to play DDL as a largely overwhelming feeling, she feels that she’s better off playing when she wants to, not because she has to 💕
It definitely causes me some anxiety sometimes just because of the sheer amount of stuff to do. There are so many quests still to do and then the tasks of decorating, unlocking realms, star paths and the special events. It’s a lot 😅. I know to step away when I’m feeling this way, but the FOMO is so real. I want all the items but need a break 🫠 currently taking a break, I’ll probably miss quite a few of the items for the star path, but hopefully I’ll be able to come back to it soon without the anxiety and stress!
The anxiety I feel is a dreadful feeling that I’m not going to be able to finish in time and get the rewards. It’s not enough to make me stop playing lol but I do get anxious but I’ve always been this way.
I have really bad anxiety & am neurodivergent and people saying a game is causing anxiety it’s definitely personal, I used to get bad anxiety playing among us & I took a break and it doesn’t bother me too much anymore, if a games making you anxious you have to deal with it yourself it’s not the game’s responsibility to ease anxiety I’m sorry but it isnt - don’t get me wrong I get nervous for updates bc bugs but not enough to set me off or anything and that’s typical for any game updates they always come with bugs
One new feature I noticed is that they added the option to drag items within a storage on xbox!! It wasn't there before so you were stuck with smart transfer or sorting, but now you can actually drag individual items to whatever spot in the chest you want. It seems like a silly thing to be happy about, but that makes me happy haha
My fav feature is the pink trees and realising that you can now select your glider. The future possibilities of this exciting me! Gliding is one of my favourite things to do and I’ve designed my valley with wide paths so I can glide between places and not get stuck. ☺️
I have very bad bed-time anxiety, one thing that's helped me recently to calm down and eventually fall asleep is making plans in my head of what area of DDV I can decirate that I haven't yet. I understand the game plays on people's FOMO a lot but for me the calming elements have definitely are stronger than the rest. Sorry for anyone who's only experiencing the anxiety of it :(
What gives me anxiety is the fact that the ''hide touch of magic items'' don't work for daisy's boutique. And it blocks me for every Dreamsnaps. It's been 3 weeks that I cannot be bothered anymore because it makes me so angry (not the option not working it wasn't there) but daisy's boutique that we CANNOT remove so we have to place it somewhere on the opposite side, except if it's decorated we have to remove part of it because the boutique is freaking big. That annoys me more than anything I'll be honest
You just solved a mystery for me. I spent several hours building a dreamsnap and it would not submit due to having the touch of magic message. I kept toggling to turn TOM off but still got that message. I then started removing one thing at a time to try to figure out what was setting the TOM message off. I finally just tore down the whole thing and rebuilt somewhere else and was able to submit. I will be honest. That was a frustrating experience. Thinking about it now, Daisy boutique was in the background so that was the issue.
DLV is great. I’ve played since day 1. There are times when I take a few days or a week away from the game due to burn out or frustration with bugs, but it is such a whimsical and cute game. I hope they continue to update the game for years to come. ❤❤❤
For me the Update with Oswald compaired to the Dreamlight Parc event with the Cupcakes Baking every Day made me a bit overwhelmed. I had the feelig, I needed to much to do in too less Time. Because besides of Oswald, you got a new Starpath with so many Quests to do, we had Daisys Shop (Wich I stopped doing after her first Quest with the Introduction into the Shop) and the Cupcakes. I was really thinking, how should I can do all of this in Time, besides the daily cleanup of the Valley AND the Island. I do work by the way and can't spend 24/7 on the Game. Since Monsters Inc came to the Game, I didn't fully level the Characters, even Rapunzel, Gaston and Eve are not on Lv 10 right now
Love your videos!! And I am back playing!!! Decorating is still my favorite and I do love the grind of the star path. I took everything out of my realm. Clean slate. Decorating once again!! Thank you for all you do in keeping us all informed. Your awesome!! Anxiety playing this game?? I’m sorry but…..LMAOOOO 😂 Play another game. This game is super relaxing and adorable!!
This update did give me some hope for the game going forward. The star path changes are fantastic imo. I am looking forward to the things that are still coming. I would be extremely happy if they did Disney biomes in a DLC (which was in their last survey) and the fact they are adding more Disney items is great. The bugs don’t bother me as much bc I expect there to be bugs. I’m putting Mulan in the grove along with a training camp area. Figaro is Minnie’s cat so it does make sense their house would be similar.
I'm guessing 2 things may cause this: crashes or (the big one) something happens (like picking up the wrong thing or a glitch spwan that makes it impossible for the game to progress) and maybe they're worried it'll take the devs forever to fix. For me, I've been trying to leave some character quests (unless an update takes forever) so I have something to do in case of a bug etc.
If you want to see the forgotten spawn in front of you all you need to do is find it then change your hairstyle. It will keep respawning with your hairstyle update
I think the only time I feel "anxious" (mainly overwhelmed) is when it gets too close to the end of the Star Path, and I still have a lot to do. I enjoy the game! I've just been trying to find a good balance between doing real life stuff and playing the game :) This Star Path has been really nice though!
It is buggy and sometimes I stop playing because a feature isn't working properly. There's pressure to get 4K moonstones for dreamsnaps and some of us don't have hours of time to dedicate to try to get a fancy photo. Finally, when they time bound something, like the new critters, it's frustrating to see so many people with all of them already and I keep getting coins rather than memories. I guess I'd be less stressed if I stopped reading the forums and watching community videos? Not sure. Ha.
I have not done dreamsnaps in 3 weeks cuz I was feeling that pressure. They took hours. Now I don’t care if I do one or not. I just play. Maybe 1 day I’ll do them again. But for right now I’m just enjoying the game.
The thing that gives me the most anxiety is the water maze thing in Moana's realm. I cannot figure it out! There are two cakes for the Memory Mania Event just past the island where you have to traverse the maze. I can't figure out that darn maze! Argh!! And the cakes never reset when I exit the game and come back in. Those two cakes are mocking me!
Every single time the community posts even the mildest displeasure with any element of this game (or any large scale media) you will find these posts exaggerating their displeasure to a ludicrous degree and then attacking them personally for feeling and expressing any displeasure. Every. Single. Time.
I love this update I (fingers crossed) don't crash non stop (I crashed twice since the update) Love Mulan/Mushu 's quests. But I HATE with passion what they did for decorating..
I wouldn’t say I’m nervous or over over anxious but as someone with ocd, it’s more of so many things to do that it’s overwhelming and feels like I have to do it all. For example, I have so much items that I basically need a storage system and it’s stress ful, let alone trying to make all my villagers into timebenders.
I’m sorry to say this, but if people experience anxiety playing, that’s that person’s problem, not a problem of the game. I say this because I’ve seen people saying “devs should stop adding things to the game, we don’t have time and it stresses me”. I have a real full time job, things to do out of the game in real life of course. Those things are truly overwhelming, they’re commitments and real world problems. A game is a hobby, a way to de stress, and to do all those things or not doing them inside the game is up to you, but there are no real consequences if something goes wrong in the game. It’s not like an academic/job problem, economic problem, family or health issue…idk guys, I’m sorry if I sound rude but people sometimes drown themselves in a glass of water. If the game is stressing you or you feel force to play, just don’t play. It has to be a hobby to de stress, not a duty, if someone has that feeling is their responsibility to put the game down and just stop and do other things. But I think we have to stop using things like “anxiety” for these kind of things, that’s a huge term for truly huger issues of real life, not for a game we play in our free time as a hobby…
you people just don't understand how anxiety works they can have anxiety and still enjoy the game cause your brain sending endorphins to make you feel good and anxiety are completely different things its like if you see someone eating to much of one food they can actually be allergic to it but your body wants more and also look at remys quest and to craft everything it would take 3 months at least without multiplayer or cheating with the treasure valleys cause treasure valleys takes the fun out of it cause you didn't get the items someone duplicated them
@DarkN1nja77 oh grow up you can't be serious this is a Sims like game. At any point and time you can pause the game proceed to save the game and quit. You have way too much time on your hands to be making a post about anxiety for a game that is literally made to help you relax. The person that made this reddit post was bored and wanted attention. Not to mention self diagnosing themselves with a sickness. DDV is one of the best Sims I've played in a while and to honestly say this game causes stress or anxiety is insane. 😂 y'all got way too much time on your hands. To let this game affect you this way is crazy.
@@DarkN1nja77 In fact I know how anxiety works because I've been in therapy for 2 entire years working on it. I've suffered anxiety because of studies, jobs, family issues, and health issues of beloved ones of mine. I'm sorry but life it's much more complicated than a game, one thing is to feel overwhelmed for everything a game has to offer (a first world problem, if you ask me), and another one to feel real anxiety. And we have to learn to use both terms properly because one thing it's just a feeling regarding that game, and the other one a mental health struggle. Anyway, people are never satisfied, if the game doesn't get updates each 2 months people start complaining because suddenly the game is boring and you don't have anything to do, and everyone is just "where is our update, we demand our update" but if the devs listen to the community and ad features, then are silly because "these people think we have all the time in the world, now I feel stressed", we're never satisfied. If the game has a lot of things to do and you can't complete all of them, it's okay, it's just a game, we don't have to complete absolutely everything, they're just activities to do if each player can and want to. I'm sorry but if someone feel, truly anxiety for this game, those people have or a lot of free time, or don't have true real life problems
@@Dova722 i was diagnosed with autism and anxiety when i was a id i have fully functioning autism im low on the spectrum but my brain is affected so i wasn't trying to come across the wrong way anxiety affects me in every video game real life and all the time i also didnt do dream snaps cause im afraid that someone would find me cause dream snaps on play station reveals the psn so dont tell me to grow up when you dont know what its like and dont tell me it doesn't affect you in video games
Since Figaro (from Pinocchio) is paired up with Minnie Mouse, then does that mean that Pinocchio himself is paired up with Jiminy Cricket, Asha is paired up with Valentino (from Wish), and the Blue Fairy (from Pinocchio) is paired up with Star (from Wish) (Rosalina and Luma!) if they all ever appear in the game at some point? Would Tinkerbell be portrayed here as being a Peter Pan character or a Disney Fairies character if she ever appeared? (Peter Pan himself, Wendy Darling, and Captain Hook if they appear would all be considered as Peter Pan characters)
Last night my husband was looking at me watching one of DDV videos and said "This is the most autistic game ever, no wonder you love it" 😂 I don't know if it's true or not but I feel like we do have a lot of neurodivergency in this community (myself being Audhd included of course)
I put Mulan in lower promenade, it just goes. With switch being so limited on decorating as well. I am balancing at 585 and with all the new cool Mulan stuff there is no way to have her there and decorate, sigh.
I get stressed when the camera does not work properly when I do dreamsnaps. All that preparation and trial shots and then the camera freezes and I have to reboot. I hate voting because I often get thrown out with an error and have to reboot the game. So I vote for dreamsnaps after I save at the end of my gaming session ,so if I am thrown out I can just go to bed. It was stressful when recently stuff would disappear when decorating. Oh and my latest glitch is I can change eye shadow color, how random is that!! I do take mini breaks from the game, and play console games instead, they re so reliable compared to DLV.
I think the word anxiety is a little overused those days. People who don’t know anxiety saying they get anxiety from everything. Anxiety is actually very serious and if you really get it from playing any game, you should put it down and go out in the nature for a walk or something. I think stressed is a better word because if things don’t work in a game you can get stressed for sure. (Then you maybe need a little fresh air too) But anxiety?
I am excited for all updates even with the crashes I have to deal with but if I get to many I go to my second account and since I don't have the expansion I don't deal with crashes
I’m upset I lost 600 moonstones on the star path . I unlocked them, it froze. I closed the game came back . They were unlocked but the moonstones I lost. Don’t know how that happened. 😮
I just found a new hidden feature, and I don't think anyone has mentioned it, for those of you that don't play on controller, you probably dont care, but for those of us that do, storage and inventory now has drag and drop feature!!! , now I know also they messed with the furniture camera, not a fan, but I'm just glad they are trying to make things better for us, and happy for the little victory, and being able to put items exactly where I want and not have to use the sort filter and hope for a decent outcome is a victory
Forgot to mention it also works for selling multiple items, even if they are different items, just hold select button ( x button on ps5) and then move joystick over the items you want to sell
I have significant mental health issues and find the game very relaxing and helpful. I would suggest that stepping away from the game and digging in to why the anxiety is manifesting would be a beneficial pursuit. I’ve learned to deal with severe agoraphobia and have re-entered society. It took years to get where I am today, so I’m not here to shame anyone with anxiety. It is a difficult beast to live with. Either step away and adjust the expectations toward the game - or talk to people who are developers and have them explain why this game does what it does - or stop using the language of those who are truly suffering with crippling anxiety. That’s not meant as harsh as it may sound, just my 0.15 (adjusted for inflation.)
I have see those post of exaggerating the fact that they are nervous or anxious about the new updates, it's not many but I like I said they are exaggerating 😅 oh and Figaros is Minnie's cat, so it makes sense that it matches her house. Keep up the good job Mr. Starkinsky! Love all your videos!
The game gives me so much FOMO and makes me want to spend money to get the items in the premium shop and even the DLC to automate tasks for the star path events to have time to look for a job.. I sinked so much money and time on this game since it came out I even got the premium version
For the first one it’s Fear Of Missing Out, they want to collect everything and want their dreamsnaps to be the highest rank they can that way they don’t have to spend real money… I get it
"This game is $40, IMO. 40 hours of gameplay is your moneys worth." That's actually a terrible argument, especially for EA players who've spent +$100 and +100 hours since 2022. It's a LOT more than 40 hours to do all those DreamSnaps, all that decorating, and new quests w/ each update. Not to mention the $$$ spent on Moonstones, especially since PS items now cost more than we can early solely from DreamSnaps and daily chests.
I'm audhd neurodivergent and taking words/phrases literal is an issue neurodivergents deal with. When I say DDV makes me anxious I mean that I am anxious because each update brings new horrible bugs and makes a game that should be relaxing awful at times. Also, could you do videos with the comments you get here on your TH-cam? I love the reddit check ins for the game but it would be cool to add a few TH-cam comments in or a completely seperate video would be more content :)
I wouldn’t call it anxiety - more like FOMO due to the premium items and starpaths - if you’re in a position that a Disney game gives you anxiety then stop playing ?
So I would love it if they changed it to where we could just move the hand kinda like in the Sims. Cuz it takes forever to scroll down on Xbox. And if we could just move the hand like a mouse it would be way faster.
I think of more of what the first post meant is how people use terms too 'casually' lately, without even understanding the concept. I hear that sometimes and yeah - it is annoying. I think that's what they were getting at. Like 'oh this is making me have diabetes' or 'she was acting bipolar' or stuff. Smh
Wow! I love playing because it makes me relax and is fun. I hope everyone who plays this game feels the same as I feel. If you are feeling anxious and have anxiety then pray to God. It works!
The game makes me' angry. My game has many bugs when I got super excited when the game was finished I expected the game to work like a finished game is supported to but oh no the game gets worse with every new update I give up
People who don't have anxiety and use that word all the time, have no idea what it is. It seems to be a word in fashion lately. If a game stresses you out, don't play it then!!
I don’t think someone online should tell people how to feel. A lot of ddv players are neurodivergent, like myself, and we don’t express ourselves the same way.
The only anxiety I felt was from the daily blue chest (having to find them, especially when we got the expansion pack and there was twice the area to search). When I stopped caring about it and no longer even search for it daily, that stress disappeared. I refuse to buy moonstones for this game. If I can’t buy all the premium shop items, oh well.

Oh yeah! She also has a Pekinese named Fifi. Talk about getting along like cats and dogs, lol

It is the Inside Out Event so it makes sure we are full of all emotions! Lol oh boy
I can't decorate in Frosted heights top corner to the right of Olafs cave anymore, anyone else?? :(
Yes I can't take down my chairs or anything there
I finally saw the forgotten come out of the ground right next to me with horrifying music, startled me. lolol Was not expecting that. LOL

I have a real full time job, things to do out of the game in real life of course. Those things are truly overwhelming, they’re commitments and real world problems. A game is a hobby, a way to de stress, and to do all those things or not doing them inside the game is up to you, but there are no real consequences if something goes wrong in the game. It’s not like an academic/job problem, economic problem, family or health issue…idk guys, I’m sorry if I sound rude but people sometimes drown themselves in a glass of water. If the game is stressing you or you feel force to play, just don’t play. It has to be a hobby to de stress, not a duty, if someone has that feeling is their responsibility to put the game down and just stop and do other things. But I think we have to stop using things like “anxiety” for these kind of things, that’s a huge term for truly huger issues of real life, not for a game we play in our free time as a hobby…
I agree!! If something gives you anxiety, then don't play it.
you people just don't understand how anxiety works they can have anxiety and still enjoy the game cause your brain sending endorphins to make you feel good and anxiety are completely different things its like if you see someone eating to much of one food they can actually be allergic to it but your body wants more and also look at remys quest and to craft everything it would take 3 months at least without multiplayer or cheating with the treasure valleys cause treasure valleys takes the fun out of it cause you didn't get the items someone duplicated them
@DarkN1nja77 oh grow up you can't be serious this is a Sims like game. At any point and time you can pause the game proceed to save the game and quit. You have way too much time on your hands to be making a post about anxiety for a game that is literally made to help you relax. The person that made this reddit post was bored and wanted attention. Not to mention self diagnosing themselves with a sickness. DDV is one of the best Sims I've played in a while and to honestly say this game causes stress or anxiety is insane. 😂 y'all got way too much time on your hands. To let this game affect you this way is crazy.
@@DarkN1nja77 In fact I know how anxiety works because I've been in therapy for 2 entire years working on it. I've suffered anxiety because of studies, jobs, family issues, and health issues of beloved ones of mine. I'm sorry but life it's much more complicated than a game, one thing is to feel overwhelmed for everything a game has to offer (a first world problem, if you ask me), and another one to feel real anxiety. And we have to learn to use both terms properly because one thing it's just a feeling regarding that game, and the other one a mental health struggle. Anyway, people are never satisfied, if the game doesn't get updates each 2 months people start complaining because suddenly the game is boring and you don't have anything to do, and everyone is just "where is our update, we demand our update" but if the devs listen to the community and ad features, then are silly because "these people think we have all the time in the world, now I feel stressed", we're never satisfied. If the game has a lot of things to do and you can't complete all of them, it's okay, it's just a game, we don't have to complete absolutely everything, they're just activities to do if each player can and want to. I'm sorry but if someone feel, truly anxiety for this game, those people have or a lot of free time, or don't have true real life problems
@@Dova722 i was diagnosed with autism and anxiety when i was a id i have fully functioning autism im low on the spectrum but my brain is affected so i wasn't trying to come across the wrong way anxiety affects me in every video game real life and all the time i also didnt do dream snaps cause im afraid that someone would find me cause dream snaps on play station reveals the psn so dont tell me to grow up when you dont know what its like and dont tell me it doesn't affect you in video games
Since Figaro (from Pinocchio) is paired up with Minnie Mouse, then does that mean that Pinocchio himself is paired up with Jiminy Cricket, Asha is paired up with Valentino (from Wish), and the Blue Fairy (from Pinocchio) is paired up with Star (from Wish) (Rosalina and Luma!) if they all ever appear in the game at some point? Would Tinkerbell be portrayed here as being a Peter Pan character or a Disney Fairies character if she ever appeared? (Peter Pan himself, Wendy Darling, and Captain Hook if they appear would all be considered as Peter Pan characters)
That happened to me the other day with the forgotten.. it freaked me out 😂
Oh my heck. That is soooo creepy I can’t wait to see it. And ya it will freak me out!!
Last night my husband was looking at me watching one of DDV videos and said "This is the most autistic game ever, no wonder you love it" 😂 I don't know if it's true or not but I feel like we do have a lot of neurodivergency in this community (myself being Audhd included of course)
I put Mulan in lower promenade, it just goes. With switch being so limited on decorating as well. I am balancing at 585 and with all the new cool Mulan stuff there is no way to have her there and decorate, sigh.
🌸💖 This game is healing me every time I need it. 💖🌸
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
I get stressed when the camera does not work properly when I do dreamsnaps. All that preparation and trial shots and then the camera freezes and I have to reboot. I hate voting because I often get thrown out with an error and have to reboot the game. So I vote for dreamsnaps after I save at the end of my gaming session ,so if I am thrown out I can just go to bed. It was stressful when recently stuff would disappear when decorating. Oh and my latest glitch is I can change eye shadow color, how random is that!! I do take mini breaks from the game, and play console games instead, they re so reliable compared to DLV.
Gosh m not too sure what my favourite feature is 😅 I Love it all! But I do love the magnolia trees 😍
Isn’t it ironic that a relaxing farming game with Disney characters are making people anxious?
I think the word anxiety is a little overused those days. People who don’t know anxiety saying they get anxiety from everything. Anxiety is actually very serious and if you really get it from playing any game, you should put it down and go out in the nature for a walk or something. I think stressed is a better word because if things don’t work in a game you can get stressed for sure. (Then you maybe need a little fresh air too) But anxiety?
Everyone should follow horrible gaming she does such great builds ❤
She’s amazing!!
I mean my teacup and dumbo ride don’t work anymore but I like the update other than those flaws 😂
I am excited for all updates even with the crashes I have to deal with but if I get to many I go to my second account and since I don't have the expansion I don't deal with crashes
I’m upset I lost 600 moonstones on the star path . I unlocked them, it froze. I closed the game came back . They were unlocked but the moonstones I lost. Don’t know how that happened. 😮
I just found a new hidden feature, and I don't think anyone has mentioned it, for those of you that don't play on controller, you probably dont care, but for those of us that do, storage and inventory now has drag and drop feature!!! , now I know also they messed with the furniture camera, not a fan, but I'm just glad they are trying to make things better for us, and happy for the little victory, and being able to put items exactly where I want and not have to use the sort filter and hope for a decent outcome is a victory
Forgot to mention it also works for selling multiple items, even if they are different items, just hold select button ( x button on ps5) and then move joystick over the items you want to sell
I have significant mental health issues and find the game very relaxing and helpful.
I would suggest that stepping away from the game and digging in to why the anxiety is manifesting would be a beneficial pursuit.
I’ve learned to deal with severe agoraphobia and have re-entered society.
It took years to get where I am today, so I’m not here to shame anyone with anxiety. It is a difficult beast to live with.
Either step away and adjust the expectations toward the game - or talk to people who are developers and have them explain why this game does what it does - or stop using the language of those who are truly suffering with crippling anxiety. That’s not meant as harsh as it may sound, just my 0.15 (adjusted for inflation.)
Geez their problem not gameloft problem it is not a dam job it is a HOBBY.
I have see those post of exaggerating the fact that they are nervous or anxious about the new updates, it's not many but I like I said they are exaggerating 😅 oh and Figaros is Minnie's cat, so it makes sense that it matches her house. Keep up the good job Mr. Starkinsky! Love all your videos!
The game gives me so much FOMO and makes me want to spend money to get the items in the premium shop and even the DLC to automate tasks for the star path events to have time to look for a job.. I sinked so much money and time on this game since it came out I even got the premium version
If I feel anxious or mad, I play dreamlight valley. it's Disney magic. It's a game, it's joyful and made for comfort. That's how I see it anyway,.
For the first one it’s Fear Of Missing Out, they want to collect everything and want their dreamsnaps to be the highest rank they can that way they don’t have to spend real money… I get it
"This game is $40, IMO. 40 hours of gameplay is your moneys worth." That's actually a terrible argument, especially for EA players who've spent +$100 and +100 hours since 2022. It's a LOT more than 40 hours to do all those DreamSnaps, all that decorating, and new quests w/ each update. Not to mention the $$$ spent on Moonstones, especially since PS items now cost more than we can early solely from DreamSnaps and daily chests.
I'm audhd neurodivergent and taking words/phrases literal is an issue neurodivergents deal with.
When I say DDV makes me anxious I mean that I am anxious because each update brings new horrible bugs and makes a game that should be relaxing awful at times.
Also, could you do videos with the comments you get here on your TH-cam? I love the reddit check ins for the game but it would be cool to add a few TH-cam comments in or a completely seperate video would be more content :)
I'm sorry the game makes you feel this way ❤️ Also, thanks for the idea :)
That yawn 😨 scared me @7:16
Love watching daily! 🌟
I wouldn’t call it anxiety - more like FOMO due to the premium items and starpaths - if you’re in a position that a Disney game gives you anxiety then stop playing ?
So I would love it if they changed it to where we could just move the hand kinda like in the Sims. Cuz it takes forever to scroll down on Xbox. And if we could just move the hand like a mouse it would be way faster.
Some people seriously need a reality check nowadays to help them understand what are actually problems in the world. 🤨
I think of more of what the first post meant is how people use terms too 'casually' lately, without even understanding the concept. I hear that sometimes and yeah - it is annoying. I think that's what they were getting at. Like 'oh this is making me have diabetes' or 'she was acting bipolar' or stuff. Smh
Wow! I love playing because it makes me relax and is fun. I hope everyone who plays this game feels the same as I feel. If you are feeling anxious and have anxiety then pray to God. It works!
The game makes me' angry. My game has many bugs when I got super excited when the game was finished I expected the game to work like a finished game is supported to but oh no the game gets worse with every new update I give up
People who don't have anxiety and use that word all the time, have no idea what it is. It seems to be a word in fashion lately. If a game stresses you out, don't play it then!!
I don’t think someone online should tell people how to feel. A lot of ddv players are neurodivergent, like myself, and we don’t express ourselves the same way.
I'm sorry if it came our that way, I was just surprised to learn this
If DDV gives you anxiety, you might need a hospital 😂
Mental weakness seems to run in these current generations.
