Thanks for recommendations! Outer Wilds is phenomenal, and Obra Dinn was so-o satisfactory to complete.

I’ve seen vending machines with cameras 10 years ago at least. Allegedly to prevent people from shaking and pivoting them so that the goods drop. Which people did. And started doing less once the cameras appeared. However, at that time, the message that “you are being recorded” was printed quite clearly on the front of the vending machine. Not mentioning that seems unlawful to me.

So that I can play Stardew Valley at highest FPS possible of course.

Joking aside, I have encountered problems with graphics card driver, specifically in Apex Legends (it took them ages to fix crashing mid-match with NVIDIA problem) and AC Valhalla (there was a slight gain in FPS, though it might have been a placebo). Also, the first thing I usually do when experiencing some lag is updating the drivers. It doesn’t always help, but sometimes it does.

And I simply don’t like the state of devices when there’s anything to update — it may be Windows, iOS, Android updates, or apps updates, or drivers updates, or Node.js package updates. That’s a me problem, and in case of Node updating usually brings more problems than it solves, but it just feels better when everything is on the latest version.

Did they remove the necessary step of creating an account for a simple act of updating a driver? Because that sucked. I know I can go to a website and download the drivers manually but this is also not very convenient to remember checking for updates from time to time.

Edit: Oh silly me, check the article before commenting: yes, it says that login is optional. Yay, I guess.

That vile contraption may harm Blåhaj my beloved!

Maybe I’ll try that. I listened to audiobooks/podcasts at 1.4x, because otherwise, seems similar to you, it’s painfully slow to be able to focus. But doing something during listening is still either focusing on the podcast and doing the task wrong, or doing the task right but missing half of the contents, sometimes even forgetting that someone is speaking in my ears right now. Maybe speeding up is an option, thanks for suggestion!

The worst thing I really want to be able to listen, and feel like I’m missing out on a great experience otherwise, and this annoys me. :(

So, podcasts are not ADHD-friendly, it seems. Because for me it’s either full focus or none at all.

There’s a top comment here being kind and welcoming but I’m concerned about overburdening the person with responses after many other people have answered.

Similarly, it’s difficult in discord servers to provide some comment of substance (sometimes a find a right moment, post, and disappear for months lol), and talking without substance feels weird.

Electrons are fine. They are in a band somewhere filling holes.

Or are they just exacerbating them?

I thought you had to die with weapon in hand? Or is it a fictional interpretation? (well, invented as a later interpretation, I mean)
