Access to the playtest
Hi! Sorry I didn't reply sooner; I had a really busy weekend. You sussed it out, as I got an invite.
Thank you!
Access to the playtest
Morning :) I sent you a friend request this morning. Would you still be happy to invite me to the play test?
(my Steam and Lemmy usernames are different for the record)
On a related note, how did anyone ever learn to get good at Goldeneye? I played it for the first time with a mock N64 controller the other day and holy hell, it was scuffed.

Thanks. I appreciate you coming at this from a different perspective as some other respondents (not that I don't appreciate them too).
You're absolutely right that I suppose I have found out we weren't right for one another and in some cases yeah, it absolutely feels that way. Other times, just because of how it ended, it doesn't feel resolved from my end but I suppose in a way, it has been.
Interesting thing to consider. Thank you.
Thanks for the words of support. Genuinely happy things have gotten better for you. In many ways, they've also been getting better for me.
In other replies I've approached why I want to 'date' rather than evolve but maybe it's just a case of it's yet another thing I can't/shouldn't do.
Cheers, the feeling's mutual ๐
I think my initial reaction to your comment was 'well, NTs can want to be in relationships, and they can date and get upset the "normal" amount. I only want what they got.'
And I've managed to come to terms with accepting I can't have things "the NT way" before, so maybe that's something I can explore.
Yeah, I see that. It's just that I've finally found a career I enjoy and doesn't make me actively suicidal. Downside is that it leaves me kind of time poor.
I've dated a couple of women from work and it's been mixed. Also before I found this job, I fell in-love in-limerance with a friend with a long-term boyfriend (now engaged) and the internal angst between wanting to be her friend, wanting to be a good person, and desperately wanting her relationship to end really led me to wanting to 'date' so at least I wasn't getting invested in unavailable people.
Sorry, don't want to give the impression I'm completely disregarding you. I appreciate you contributing.
I'd certainly recommend therapy for that. Therapy has helped me move past quite a few 'specific' traumas. Regrettable habits like feeling suicidal at the drop of a hat have proven harder to break in the long term.
This is probably shit advice but if you want to make friends you need to be in an environment where 1. you're interacting with other people (ideally in a physical space) and 2. what you're doing is making you happy somehow. If you're not in the habit of either 1. or 2., I imagine that's petrifying and sadly it'll probably just require some perseverance.
I can't believe I'd never heard of this; I've been desperate for something like this to come along.

Perhaps this is some sort of internalised ableism but I used to have this internal dialogue where I'd reflect on how difficult it was to do "boring" things and a straw man NT person would sarcastically imply that "it must be nice" to have an excuse to get out of "boring" tasks.
Um, fucking no. If you think about it for like two seconds, you realise how much of being a happy, independent and healthy adult relies on being able to complete tasks that aren't immediately captivating. Those tasks still need doing, I don't want someone else to do them for me. You're left with either waiting on when the 'inspiration' strikes you, having to improvise some game or arbitrary reward structure just to clean two dishes or you just rawdog your way through the task and you feel every second of the boredom and come out the other side feeling worse than when you started because no satisfaction from completing the task can pay-back the effort you put into completing it.
That's why ADHD adults burn-out. Without medication, every day you end with a 'motivation deficit' where no satisfaction from completing tasks can cover the costs of the determination and focus one spent to start those tasks. Eventually you just 'default' and you can't do anything any more.
Stimulants to me feel like a small loan on every task. It's a fine balance but they actually let me come out of tasks semi-regularly with more energy/motivation than I started. And when you have a surplus, productivity begets productivity.
What a well-produced, entertaining, and interesting video. Thank you for sharing. Furthermore, the extension referenced at the end: Indie Wiki Buddy is such a fantastic idea. I'm shocked I hadn't heard of it sooner. Already installed it on my mobile browser.
Evolutionary, what advantage could this possibly hold?

Hi,
Does anyone know of any service that independently hosts podcasts exclusive to Spotify, Audible etc.?
Thanks.

Maybe this doesn't need to be said but this is a different question to which video game genres do you enjoy. For example, I enjoy playing Dota 2. Every few months or so, I'll play it for a couple of weeks and put it back down. I'll never play more than two or three matches and I feel 'present' for the duration.
Paradox grand strategy games (especially EUIV), however, I can start playing at 7am and in a blink of an eye it can be 11pm and I won't have eaten or used the toilet or anything. I can do this for multiple days in a row. Furthermore, I don't often feel like I'm 'enjoying' it. I'm just consumed by it.
I'm intrigued to hear whether or not anyone recognises this difference in themselves. If you have any insight as to why you're consumed by some games and not others, I'd be very interested.

Hello,
My apologies if I use the wrong terminology, I'm pretty new to this. This week I installed Gazzew U4T switches into the Sofle V2 keyboard I put together. I used Cherry MX Blues in it before and had no issues.
Some of my switches, as I press them, feel as if they get 'caught' on the tactile bump. There's a great deal of resistance at the level of travel the bump begins. I either have to apply more pressure or change the angle of the pressure my fingers exerts to 'uncatch' it and depress it.
The odd thing is that it doesn't appear to be an issue with the individual switches but rather the position they sit i.e. I can replace a switch working as expected with a 'catching' switch and the previously working switch now catches and vice versa.
It appears the respective gaps on the PCB are too tight and it 'chokes' the switch.
Has anyone encountered this? Does anyone know of a solution? Would lubing my switches solve the problem?

Hi all,
Oftentimes, video files I download only include six-channel audio (i.e. 5.1). Using Tdarr, I transcode the video files and create a stereo audio channel from the surround channel.
At present, qBittorrent seems to seed these re-encoded files without complaint but if I force a recheck, it'll overwrite my newly-encoded files with the original. I'm concerned that my seeding these altered files is 'harming' the pool somehow but I am not sure?
An easy solution to this would be to keep two copies of each re-encoded file on my hard drive, so I watch the version with the stereo audio and seed the original. However, I do not have a lot of storage and would ideally minimize the copies I have of each file.
So, to sum-up, I suppose my question is: am I harming the torrent pool by seeding these altered versions? Or, if I want to be a responsible torrenter, do I need to keep duplicate versions, at least until my share ratio is 1:1?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Thank you to all those who took the t

CW: References to suicide.
I will try and keep this succinct.
I was diagnosed with ADHD-C in November 2022 and started on 20mg Elvanse/Vyvanse/Lisdexamfetamine. By Spring 2023 I'd worked my way up to 40mg. Two weeks ago, February 2024, I started on 50mg.
The 50mg has been a massive help to me. I've been much more productive and felt much more fulfilled. I stopped feeling suicidal. Around a week after upping the dose, I began noticing my heart racing and occasionally feeling tense or hyper-aware of parts of my body. The racing heart in particular is kind of irritating and I'd rather it stop. I've checked my blood pressure and it's healthy.
I recall similar sensations for maybe around a month after I was first put on Lisdexamfetamine but I am not sure how long they lasted for. I don't recall these sensations when I went from 30mg to 40mg.
I'm looking for some assurance that if I maintain a healthy lifestyle and check my BP regularly, that this will resolve itself in-time?

I've experienced burnout throughout work and education since I was sixteen. Usually around once every 12-18 months. I've accrued a lot of associated trauma.
For context, burnout for me is extreme depression and executive dysfunction lasting for months at a time to the extent I stop all work and social activities.
