trauma from growing up neurodivergent
This might be an adaptive characteristic based on teachers frequently asking me to do things that I found practically impossible. If I weren't able to disregard them, it would've destroyed me.
It might also be where I learned to accept my experiences as real, even if no one else seems to get it or believe them.
In certain ways, adults trained me from an early age not to trust them.
A project I've been working on for 2 years is now out in the wild (Proton bleeding-edge branch, enabled by default for 4 games: the non-special-edition Skyrim release, Mugster, Clustertruck, and Red Faction). It add gamepad support to launchers that don't have it built in. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/commit/627d220fa3d7a489ddf258a96b2bf557604d5db9
This is real and not an April Fools joke.
The eldest among us remember the First Web, before search engines were Good Actually. They used secret magics to make sense of the chaos that was the First Web.
Site directories.
Web rings.
Home pages linking to trusted sites.
Homework and jello shooter recipes study notes.
Now that the Search Engines have fallen it is time to bring those ancient tools back, for ourselves and the youngest among us who never knew the First Web.
brain noise, hypnosis, sfw
So the process of quieting our brain was:
brain noise, hypnosis, sfw
We had the important realization recently that there was a condition that needed to be met before we could learn that. In order to decide not to voice a thought, we had to be aware of thoughts before we heard them. But it wasn't enough to just observe them as many people do in meditation, once we could observe them we had to actively suppress our automatic response to them.
brain noise, hypnosis, sfw
Backstory: We used to have constant verbal chatter going on in our brain. It didn't stop even when we slept, it just became incoherent. Then, we started exploring hypnosis, and at some point it clicked, and we found a way to, with difficulty, not voice our thoughts. It was such a relief, and we practiced it until it became the default, and our mind became much quieter and calmer. We've wished since then to teach it, but we never understood well enough how it happened.
@lizardsquid I remember enjoying some of the "robot wants" games.
And "Escape from Puppy Death Factory", but that one doesn't seem to run well in Ruffle. :(
@b0rk Actually, I tend to function with a detached head or on the "wrong" branch a lot, I just move the branches to where I need them after I've committed.
@b0rk Never use "git reset", instead detach HEAD and move your branch with "git branch -f" before checking it out again. (I think that idea clicked for me as a result of one of your git threads.)
To split a commit, do an interactive rebase and cherry-pick it twice, editing to remove parts of the diff the first time.
@b0rk Huh, I had no idea "git stash pop" existed. Not sure if I even realized you could have multiple stashes. Definitely did not realize that "apply" can be repeated.
I kinda use git-stash as a place to put diffs that aren't important enough to go in my long term memory, so I may have lost work to it but only by forgetting that work existed. I can't imagine remembering more than one stash simultaneously.
Reminder: Nintendo services for the Wii U and 3DS go down in less than two weeks: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63227/~/announcement-of-discontinuation-of-online-services-for-nintendo-3ds-and-wii-u
Now is an excellent time to play anything online you'd forgotten about, back up your system, and install homebrew before the servers go offline.

@chx Hi, while it's cool that you have a project you're enthusiastic about, I don't actually know you and as such, I'm not particularly interested in what you're doing. I barely care enough to google what "incron" even is. I would prefer that you not try to engage me in random topics in replies. (As I see it, the norm is to introduce topics on your own timeline and in conversations with people you know.)
