What I've been told is that the key to stopping procrastination is empathy with your future self (from a very good source).
Huh, thinking about it that way is actually a pretty creative way to get over it. I always procrastinate quite a bit, but I can get over it if I think about all the pain in the future procrastinating further is going to bring.

I suppose that might work.  I usually end up getting angry about putting things off, remembering being angry about putting prior things off, and then channeling that rage into a fit of GRAH FUCK IT I WILL GET IT DONE RIGHT FUCKING NOW I WILL DO IT AND THEN IT WILL BE FUCKING DONE which usually fuels a burst of productivity for a while at least.

My growing hatred for Past Bauglir has also helped. That lazy bastard is kicking back and enjoying video games and shit, while here I am doing all the work! I'll show him.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I think so. Crying for hours sucks, and leaves you drained and ill-prepared to tackle what remains. Destroying things is energizing, and fantasizing at least provides for some stress release.

See, that might be my problem, I have a hard enough time summoning empathy for my current self, let alone future self. I might need to work on that.

I'm installing Origin on my computer because I got BF2 for free awhile back, and I want to play the new Project Reality release. This would be fine, if I wasn't using fucking Origin. I feel dirty just having it on my computer.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

. . . Yeah, Origin reeks; Steam is only okay because it really acts as a secondary, opt-in distro service..  If you happen to end up online, though, I'm under "Quadratura" playing a female human infiltrator with white armor.

Friend!

Thanks, I will take a look when I can, but... I've tried a lot of different online tutorials and stuff. Idk why I never seem to get it. It's the same with other complicated stuff. Maybe I just have a simple brain or something. :(

Or maybe it takes everyone a hell of a lot of work to understand complicated stuff.  That's why we call it complicated...

Still don't see the hate with Origin, there are more worse platforms out there and luckly Origin seems to be trying to move towards a steam-like experience.

Your brain is composed of about 8.6 * 10 ^ 10 neurons, or in scientific terms, a lot. There is nothing simple about it. You have to give it a little credit. A system that large, powerful and complex takes a little time and effort to integrate a new pattern that is somewhat alien to how it normally functions. We don't think in the same way a computer thinks, so not picking up instantly is in no way a sign of failure.

I would say the most important part of learning anything new is being confused. I've seen people who aren't confused when they first try programming, and it is because they are just copying lines without trying to understand what they do. If you are confused, it means you care enough about not understanding something to eventually get it, instead of letting it wash over you.
