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. :(

Does anyone else have, like, a nearly-transparent layer of static overlaid on their vision, only noticeable if you focus on it or turn off perceptual filters?

@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.

@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.)

Boost if you cook like a video game where you just smash some ingredients together and see what happens.

I just read a message that started "one of my friends had a weird glitch" and for a moment thought that this was referring to the friend's behavior rather than a computer system the friend was interacting with. -Menderbot

@chx @b0rk I have things that I avoid instead of learning (git pull is the main one), but I have been forced to learn submodules for work, and I have use cases where they seem to be the best solution.

@b0rk You git submodule update from a project that contains that repo as a submodule.

We don't really see this talked about, but something that helps us a lot as a neurodivergent human is the "decision-saving device". We find that every decision takes some energy, and "naively" we'd make many tiny decisions throughout the day which would be exhausting. So we come up with rules and systems that make the decisions for us instead. We've done this basically our entire life. -Antissa

Starting again because I ran into tech issues this morning. Am now using actual 3DS capture instead of Citra.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd So, my intent when I started this wasn't to play BIT.TRIP Runner forever. I wanted a chaotic mix of challenges in different games I enjoyed, with a bias towards those where I was improving. My struggles with a promising controller that didn't pan out (yet) are in danger of burning me out on that game. So I just added a bunch of other stuff to the mix and we'll see what happens I guess.
