  • Elden Ring is probabaly the easiest game that From Software (FS) has made.

    I however don’t like the default multi-player design of FS games and waited for the Seamless Co-op mod to be released and then picked it up to play with friends as a tough open world MP adventure.

    RE: Default MP Design -

    I think it’s poor design to offer incentives for players to be anonymous assholes to other players. Game Studios have spent millions of dollars investing in research and technologies to reduce game community toxicity. And if you attempt to play a FS game outside the first month of release in MP mode, prepare to have your fun ruined.


  • Co-pilot is amazing and terrible at the same time.

    When it’s suggesting the exact line of code I expect to write, amazing. When it can build the permissions I need for a service account for a TF module I’ve written, amazing

    However, it will suggest poorly formed, un-optimized code all too often.

    That said, knowing when to use/not use/modify the suggested code has greatly improved my productivity and consistency.

    This is some serious r/iamverysmart over simplicity. Nothing I said was shame mate.

    I like living without stinking to high hell, having teeth that aren’t rotting and infected, and not being covered in rashes and fungal growth because I am maintaining personal hygiene.

    I love having friends. They bring me so much joy, happiness, shared interests, and introducing me to activities I enjoy.

    Listening and not being constantly stuck in my mind allows me to build my knowledge and wisdom instead of some neckbeard elitist iamverysmart intern hellion.

    I don’t mask anymore, but I’m also not going to be some shitstain that believes they’re the next “great” just because I am not nerutypical and have a false belief that the greats are-just-like-me because I’m neurodivergent.


  • Some of that “weak stuff” includes things like:

    • Basic Hygine.
    • Maintain relationships you care about but struggle with.
    • Focusing on a conversation that is interesting or has valuable information you need but drift off after 30 seconds because you notice something in the background, a misplaced hair on their face, or your brain over corrects and you get stuck in the “must focus” internal mantra.
    • Remembering to eat instead of hyper focusing on a project and time blindness kicks in and it 14 hours later.
    • So-man-other-things.

    ADHD is a fucking struggle mate. And your advice is oblivious to the realities of the struggles and life.

    This is probabaly largely due to the dosage.

    Back in the 70s & 80s kids were, on-average, given 30mg instant release of Ritalin a day to start. These days they’ve cut that starting dose down to 5mg 2x a day for IR and the long acting is 10-20 once a day depending on the child’s weight.

    Dosage back then was also determined by severity of “undesired” symptoms instead of other factors like body mass and how well a lower starting dose is performing.

    ADHD is the worst at this.

    A disorder that makes it hard to have cognitive function & execution has you required to do the following:

    1. Remember that you have the disorder.
    2. Remember that you can get treatment for it.
    3. Find a doctor/NP that specializes in ADHD or cognitive disorders.
    4. Schedule an appointment.
    5. Go to the appointment and go through the rigmarole of getting a new RX.
    6. (Current Market) Call around to pharmacies to find one that has your RX in stock and hope your medical insurance doesn’t reject it or prescribe you something else because you don’t have patient history with just Adderall yet and have to repeat this step because this pharmacy only had the other RX available.
    7. Go pick up your RX.
    8. Repeat 4-8 monthly since ADHD meds are tightly regulated and you can only get a 30-day supply without auto-refills.

    Yeah… We’re completely setup for success.
