Pokemon Contamination Anxiety

Does Gamefreak's bad coding give anyone else a weird form of contamination anxiety? This is probably because I'm a techlet so code is like mystical wizardry to me, but ever since I read up on pokemon glitches, I get really nervous about certain things happening now that makes me cautious of using my pokemon, but leaving them in my boxes doesn't always help either because there are glitches that can occur in the boxes too.

For example, earlier I was battling and the battle finished while my Staraptor was still in the semi-invulnerable phase of Fly. Ever since then the Staraptor feels "infected" or "at risk" like it could cause some kind of corruption or problem at any moment. It feels like all it takes is a few incidents like that lining up in the right order and I'll frick my games up.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

    I have enough health anxiety IRL right now without worrying about it in my games too. If anything playing Pokemon has been helping as kind of a distraction lately.

      I hope you're doing okay anon, playing pokemon always made me feel better when I was a kid playing on my GBC - I'm glad it keeps you occupied.

    Sort of. You know GF is lazy as frick so they probably don't prepare for that kind of weird situation or interaction. And that might lead to corruption. I get this feeling with some other games, but since I'm also a techlet I don't let it bother me too much, the alternative is to become obsessed

    Sounds like you have genuine and bad OCD, but I do understand because GF coding can be weird to say the least. Don't understand what you mean by contamination. You mean like in RBY where glitches would stack until the game broke? You're worried about your save data being wiped?

    So... One time, you thought something bad would happen, but it didn't and everything was fine... And because of that, you feel anxiety? No, I can't relate. You're making up fake risks in your head, and then you feel like you cheated fate when they don't happen, but it's all in your head. Seek help, this is probably actual medical anxiety and not just the normie kind.

          Something like it is real you room temperature moron, go read up on shit like Radin's 1989 study on RNG manipulation. Probably just some sort of dumb noospheric bullshit though ultimately, but still, the implications of the study does imply that you can have a very (and I mean VERY) minor impact on things like, in this case, the mathematical calculations behind if a pokeball will work or not. Particularly considering in modern day pokemon games we are talking about billions of calculations involved in an average playthrough.
          So yes, you do put a small bit of your "soul" if you want to call it that, every time you earnestly believe that holding down the A button or whatever you do causes the game to be more likely to catch the pokemon, because consciousness is fricking weird like that. Its like the Placebo Effect, though with not as much of a direct and upfront impact.

            This reminds me of something the virtual pet in an aquarium sim game once said. I'm paraphrasing because I can't find the game audio, but he basically says fictional characters are real because you're real, so when you think about them or feel emotion towards them, that therefore makes them real by proxy. Or something like that.

    I freaked out when I learned there was a script for save file corruption which made it feel like something you should accept can happen. I always accepted that carts could fail but I thought they would just stop working or delete the save. I was about to buy a device to backup my saves but I realized that would take all joy I get from my carts being unadulterated and unique. I don't care if other people want to inject pokemon and duplicate their saves but that's just not for me. I accept that my carts may fail but I have so many that hopefully most, if not all, will survive. Their uniqueness and impermanence just makes them more precious to me.

      No, you "get over" it. Once you "get over" how BIG that existential realization is, what you presume is trivial shit becomes even more important than anything. Much moreso than what highscore you once believed was needed for some equivalent reward in the afterlife. Much heavier than the future of any family, estate, or legacy. Much greater than society as a whole. Much bigger than the entire damn known world.

      Once you "get over" it, that small, dismissible thing you've diminished for tiresome penance to a new god you've yet to comprehend will shine brighter in your mind than any star does in the sky.

      For me, before the final vestiges of consciousness fizzle out as my neurological processes undergo cascade failure as a result of blood loss or whatever killed me, I will relish the lingering cognitive motes of my own personal musings on topics you believe are frivolous. Your attempt to guilt me into satisfying your ego has failed and will continue to fail, as regardless of whatever importance your point may have, it will never be as potent or valuable to me as how fricking breedable vaporeon is. In my twilight moments, these thoughts will engulf me. I will swim in them briefly, happily, and then expire. And on my shit-filled corpse will be a smile erected in defiance of the lies of societal importance.

      Embrace the trivia, anon. Embrace it or die sad and alone in this vast, cold universe. It is full of vast swaths of insignificance that anyone can love and die loving, and to "get over" it would be to deprive yourself of any joy in your last moments. That is an inhumane cruelty only a masochist could find appealing.
