Depends on the kind of game I think. Certain games I do play for the challenge (FromSoft, TBT, RTS, rogue-likes and lites). Others I’m playing for Story (RPGs).

I think a good example of a game that was too difficult (for me) but had an engaging story that I wanted to play was Celeste. I hate precision platformers. But they Devs knocked that out of the park in terms of accessiblity options so I could tweak it until it was enjoyable for me, and enjoy a beautiful story with beautiful music.

Ideally governments should be pushing things like threat to life alerts out via a digital emergency alert system (e.g. Amber alerts) rather than hoping those potentially impacted are checking Twitter.

Which is funny because the UK decided to finally implement this recently and my god the Twitter Boomers were mad.

I’m inclined to say bad luck… My luck is non-existent in this game and has been since early access. Leggos rarely drop, often 1-2 from mystery chests, none from goblins and a handful from whispers.

About 75% of my total playtime has been alongside my partner who gets leggos at a comical rate. He got 4 uniques in 2 hours the other day, and I’ve had 4 total since we hit WT3.

Blizz just hates us I guess!

Definitely depends on what the Season affixes are! My intention is always to play a new class but it depends on the modifiers.

I’m not sure if we’ll be getting unique armour sets like D3, because those always played a big part in what classes were going to have the most satisfying end-game play for your play style.

Icy Veins was always my go-to for builds. I think in the first few weeks of the game it’s not had the ‘best’ builds, but that’s more to do with the fact theory-crafting is still taking place. I expect it to be the definitive place for build recs once rebalancing patches begin to settle and the theory-crafting for the base game (excluding seasonal affixes) is stable.

D4builds.gg is what I’m using for build Inspo at the moment, but it’s taken a bit of digging around there and YT to find someone who’s not constantly pumping out “BEST BUILD” vids that conflict with yesterday’s “best build”, and is instead refining the one build.

‘Unkind’ is such a diplomatic way to put it! I used to post a lot on Reddit say around 2008-12, then it began to get a bit intolerable. Some subs you were guaranteed to have an ‘unkind’ response or a deluge of downvotes I think because people were so hyper-competitive about their comments being seen over yours, because of that engagement issue you mention.

Credit content creators, link to original sources, and frame your copypasta as an analysis (like you’re citing specific areas of text to add to it in some way). You could even group together various related posts on a subject as a comparative piece.

I feel like Spez vs. Elon would make more sense given the hits to both their platforms on the same day. Mark is sitting back doing nothing, secure in the fact he’s still got most of the Boomers/Gen Xs in his grasp until they finally die out.

A Dr won’t just give you drugs without taking you through an assessment. They usually provide a 10 question assessment first to determine if you meet the threshold to then do further testing.

It may be important to know what region you’re in to determine how receptive a GP may be to recommending assessment.

I hit burnout during COVID and once we came out the other end my productivity halted. It’s only just began to recover (also newly diagnosed and recently started vyvanse so that’s helping).

I benefit from working in an extremely large organisation, and we have an internal ND Peer Support group on our org’s Yammer (Viva Engage?). Someone set up a body-double rota, so anyone in the group can go into a shared calendar and sign themselves up to host a Team meeting for “body doubling”. You can either sit silently on the call (cams on!) or chitchat if others are okay with it.

A few other things I’ve done to help keep myself on track in my specific team:

• Set up a Team Planner (works similar to Trello) so I can see what is MY task and what other people are working on. My manager is responsible for recommending due dates and we go through the planner during our team meetings.
• Setting up accountability mechanisms with my manager and subordinate: they give me clear deadlines/requirements
• Agreed that any actions discussed verbally need to be followed up with an email because I WILL forget within 30s of the discussion if I never put it in the Planner
• Plan meetings in the morning rather than afternoon where possible, because afternoon meetings prevent me starting a task due to appointment paralysis
• Me and my subordinate both did ‘working with me’ guides, just a one-pager that describes who we are and how we like to communicate/work
• Use OneNote to categorise almost all of my work. I have a ‘library’ page that shows all the resources I use/may need. A page describing who people are and what they’re responsible for. A page where I put every note I take from a meeting. Then tabs for current work, tabs for completed work, all broken down by subject.

My org is limited to using MS suite of products so there may be other tools that yours will use. For my personal life I use Google Tasks & Habitica.

I’m also in an extremely supportive team where I felt safe to disclose my ND, and appreciate how lucky I am for that. If you can find a confidant in your team/org it may help.

I’m going to leave RIF right where it’s been on my home screen for the last decade, as a little memorial.

I’m not a big fan of DIS S1 but I’d still watch it for context. Plus I absolutely loved the performances from both Michelle Yeoh and Jason Isaacs - Isaacs in particular makes S1 for me.

Pleased to be here with you all! I’m a Daystrom lurker and lunchtime at work would be awful without all the insightful posts to read.
