Lol, same! Out of curiosity, what criteria do you use to sort? I sort by card rarity, card type, color, converted mana cost, and then finally alphabetically. Though that method does screw me over as soon as Wizards makes a new card type like when they print colored artifacts or mix instant and sorcery on the same card, so I'm wondering if you happen to have a more resilient way of sorting.

@andy4an
@andy4an 4 жыл бұрын
it's not THAT stressful, because you have as many days as you want, but having a tiny bit of stress is good, because it drives you to make an objectively better farm for time management reasons. all the things that make pretty inventories fun applies to making farms nicely organized. when your organization makes you more efficient, it's exciting to be able to do more and more in a day. also, i think the time stress slowly builds on you right? in a slow and reasonable way? at first, you are really weak, and tire out easily, and can't really make it through a whole day. (well, your tools are weak, but it amounts to the same thing). so you aren't stressed by time, you are limited by energy, and when it's out, you restart. so time as a limit, rather than work, doesn't jump out of nowhere and ambush you. also, you get to organize your time! if you do all the critical upkeep stuff in the morning when you wake up, you have the entire rest of the day to work on long term projects that you don't necessarily expect to finish that day. at least, i never got to a point where daily upkeep took so much of the day that it was stressful.

Something that I think might be related in RPGs especially is gathering and organizing quests. One thing I like to do sounds kind of like what Natalie Schrier says by getting as many tasks as I can and sorting them by importance to the main story and by general locations that they're asking me to travel to. I just finished playing Pillars of Eternity and as much as I loved the story and characters, my favorite things was that it had great pacing with the quests especially when you get to the hub areas with the number and complexity of the tasks given without feeling too overwhelmed. My brain loves the rush of clearing out all my tasks in one fell swoop. Just wish I could take my game tasking and apply it more to real life tasks...

Organizing in videogames is also great because usually, you can just pick up whatever without it being limited by how it'd interact with the rest of your stuff or how fragile, heavy, or awkward to carry it might be. You pick it up and it's completely safe until you put it down somewhere where it will also, likely, be completely safe. I do not have this luxury with my real clutter and if I could start by throwing everything on top of my drawers into hammerspace, I would've gotten my room properly organized AGES ago.

I actually SCREAMED when you got around to Wilmot's Warehouse!! The way I organized mine were in single lines according to color order (hot vs. cold) then size order (largest to smallest). It didn't help when I had a majority of blue items at one point, but it got the job done. I always found it interesting to see how my friends decided to organize their warehouses though
