I’m a well-sorted Zen Monk in your chart, but you’d really rate autism as more brain-damaged than literal schizophrenia?

The walking, raving, hallucinating, spiders in the skin, swimming walls, schizophrenia?

Many people with autism can lead moderate to fully functioning lives, i.e: A good chunk of YouTube content producers who churn out daily videos about a single, highly constrained topic (e.g: bridge reviews in multiple nations).

I think I’d put autism in Category 2 of your chart, leaving the rest where it is

P.S: I agree with your intergenerational insanity hypothesis; I’d summarize it as intergenerational trauma, actually, like a psychological debt deferred to progeny with interest

No it does not

Jesus lol

Put four pots over the squares over the ground.

Shoot the dragon head statues, the pedestals raise.

The pedestals make stone grinding sounds and…

Only one pedestal has raised, the pots have caused the animation to bug out and the game engine to assume that the pedestal is in the final position on the floor.

The floor position has the lever locked.

The game developer never anticipated what a massive idiot I was

I’m distracting you from your horrible past with a humourous and absurd fantasy scenario involving giant spiders

And there it is again

I’ve read that that the 7 deadly sins are just “reverse extrapolates” of the ten commandments, e.g: “Do not commit adultery” -> Lust.

Even the “original sin” (disobedience) is extrapolated.

Which means they’re not legally binding as a result.

TIL, I’m a minority of a minority.

Overclocked a $800 AMD 7900XTX to 3.4 GHz core with +15% overvolt (1.35V), total power draw of 470W @86°C hotspot temp under 100% fan duty cycle.

Matches the 3DMark score in Time Spy for an RTX 4090D almost to the number.

Best comment I’ve read in ages

Like 52% of the developed first world can be considered morbidly obese.

I highly doubt it’s a willpower or self-control problem, that’s just blaming the victim.

The real issue is there’s fucking sugar in everything.

Read the nutrition facts labels one day and try to keep yourself under 100g of net carbohydrates as a mental experiment while grocery shopping (net meaning carbs - fiber = net).

You’ll quickly notice that the vast majority of things have added sugar via HFCS, even innocuous things like bread or even ketchup.

It’s tough out there.

👏👏👏👏

I’m a big believer in the Pareto Principle where 20% of the users are responsible for 80% of the content.

Lemmy is Reddit’s Top 20%.

Yep. I do this all the time on highways. I’ve seen dark red traffic lines on Google Maps as I’ve driven over them turn green.

Patience and the efforts of a single person in a wavefront can make an enormous difference, like a rock sticking up from a pond.

That’s great! We offer competitive rates for your time, for instance, our Platinum plan can offer you up to 34% of what your time is actually worth on the open market, but due to your weak resume with gaps in employment history and the fact that you don’t have a doctorate for this entry level position, I’m afraid that the most we can offer you is a Silver plan, at 18% of your market value.

That is of course before you factor in the mandatory taxes and assays affording to relevant state laws and… how does federally required minimum wage sound?

Being 70-80 years old sucks. My condolences. We’ll mess around with AGI when you’re gone and I’ll think about you

Try changing your dynamic. The human brain thrives on novelty.

Play genres you normally wouldn’t – e.g: Hate horror games? Good - try out Silent Hill or some classics you skipped over.

Get a VR headset, go from 2D screen to proper full body 3D - fly a plane over the Andes, feel like you’re actually flying. Pilot a huge mech. Build a colony on Mars with your own two hands.

Burnout happens and it’s worth examining other areas in your life, but gaming’s always been the wondrous thing it always has.
