    Hey I'm a fellow guy that pulls out his beard hair... It's a multi-decade long struggle. I'll go on bouts of "good behavior" but all it takes is one slip-up and back to patch city. I've tried the clean shaven route, but as soon as any little bit of stubble pokes it's way through, my bad habit comes back. I can relate with what you're going through.

    I wish I could provide you with a cure, but here are some things that I have found helpful:

    1. IDENTIFY YOUR TRIGGERS.
      If I make it past the "bumps" phase (like you said, one of the hardest parts) I personally find if I'm sitting at a computer desk processing information, my hand idly rests on the computer chair and I will start to inadvertently and mindlessly pick. I switched to a standing desk to try to avoid this position. I also try to stand in work meetings as much as I possibly can. (Side benefit besides avoiding picking... Makes me look important and busy lol)

    2. OWN IT.
      Like I said before, I've dealt with this a long time. To the point where most people know me with a bare patch in my scruff. Yep it's there. Yep it's different. Yeah I don't want it to be there... But it's there. It's me!

    All that being said, I'll be closely monitoring this thread for personal advice! 😁

    My goodness, I've been using the term "clicker" for so long -- almost as an afterthought -- and never realized that it could have come from a specific device.

    This honestly seems quite promising! The video hit the nail on the head when discussing animating at speed. It's a delicate balance between giving the player the sense that they are screamingly fast without losing control of the character or where they spatially are.
