Folks with ADHD, how did you feel when the acronyms shifted, and instead of having #ADD and #ADHD, now the "correct" term is ADHD?
When I was diagnosed in 2000, it was largely because they'd finally discovered that ADD without hyperactivity was a thing, and that girls/women presented as inattentive more often than hyperactive (thus why they were often overlooked). It still feels inaccurate every time I write "ADHD" in reference to myself (yet often get corrected if I use "ADD").

Some can relist games on Steam or consoles—but without reviews or fan content.
@b0rk Interesting, the meaning of HEAD is intuitive to me for rebases, because I think of a rebase as checking out the base revision and applying a series of cherry-picks to it.
Check temperature of environment (sometimes we're too hot or too cold and don't realize it).
Make sure we've taken our meds.
We have a grounding trigger we can use if we're looping on something.
Switch to someone else in-system who might have more energy.
Cuddle someone in-system.
More of a passive thing but finding the "App Timer" feature on our phone has helped recently.

@lioness I'm not sure how I'd self-identify? I know now that I'm interested in both, because of interactions with iore, but so far I can't quantify that interest beyond "yes". If we go by time spent I'd be sub-leaning, but that's for entirely practical reasons and not a preference so it doesn't ring true to me. -Cedar

@lioness It's all self-identification, isn't it? You have more energy for one, or prefer it more often, or however it makes sense for you to think about it. I've never heard of the actual time/effort/whatever spent on scenes having anything to do with it. -Mattie

lucid dream attempts //
@lioness You might want to add some kind of "probing" to that.
From our experience it's possible to end up in a state that's indistinguishable from laying motionless in bed, except that your senses are open to being manipulated. We tend to imagine full body movement, such as a rocking motion, to test this. If we get there, then engaging our imagination in pretty much any way will initiate a lucid dream. (Lately we imagine being upright and falling over for that part.)

@lioness There are definitely those of us here who are like that - they never seem to come out spontaneously, but they'll answer if someone talks to them. -Cedar
@hollie It's because the \ modifies the next character.
I can now play "block faker" in game mode on my steam deck (via ruffle.js), and I've set up custom assets for it.

It's so much better. I'm not accidentally hitting buttons I don't intend to. There's actual resistance which makes it much easier to release buttons (doesn't require actively lifting toes). I'm actually making the inputs I intend (on my right foot at least), and it makes it so much easier.
