DaveedNoo used to drink a pot of coffee a day. Now I take some shitty pills that sort of work but not really.

I’m not your doctor nor aware of your medical history but just to put it out there, the “shitty pills that sort of work but not really” problem improved for me when I switched to a different medication and went up to the right dose. But you likely already know that.

Semi-related public service announcement, the manufacturer’s patent on Vyvanse is expiring next year.

I tried looking this up, this is about those deglobalized autonomous village things, right?

yeso

cocaine is expensive but not unreasonable for special occasions. I don’t know from personal experience just work related. If any more impressionable forum users see this, just FYI cocaine can be addictive

Gaagaagiins

How much is it? Like, $20?

yeso

~$100/gram in Chicago. Crack is less than $10 though (thanks CIA)

Venus Emperor

yeso that’s a good price but at that quantity there’s no way you’re not getting dirt if you’re in chicago
edit: is anybody else here on a cia watch list

Remember forum users, if you’re going to use drugs and don’t have access to safe supply or a supportive environment to be in while using, look around in your local community to see if there are any supportive resources relevant to the use of the drug(s) you use, such as Naloxone supply and/or training programs if you use opioids.

Gaagaagiins

I mean, not that anyone should be in a position where you’re self administering naloxone, but you know what I mean

yeso

it’s not really possible to self-admin nalaxone…. how serious is the conversation rn lol ?

Gaagaagiins

Oh, yeah, that’s what I mean to convey, I just worded it very poorly. What I mean to say was no one should be using in a position where another person is not there to administer you naloxone

yeso

read it and weep:

yeso

Damn I’m getting put on a watchlist and I don’t even get to read the article??

exodus

fugazi57 I only liked the mandalorian but if it crossed my path I’ll give it a look!

billy

exodus I don’t really like Star Wars and still enjoyed Fallen Order. On the lowest difficulty setting it could definitely be played as a low-pressure button pusher.

Also: top 100 most desirable video game McGuffins.

Another vanilla ranking idea, but I’d really like to hear you guys do Best Video Game Composers — mostly because I’ve been (very slowly) watching that Bomberman video Funbil recommended, so I have Jun Chikuma on my mind. I want to see her come out on the very top of the list! (Of course she faces very tough competition.)

gsk

I finding that I’m becoming increasingly worse at gauging what other people will or won’t find tough but my go-to breezy action games tend to be old Natsume-Atari IP games, like Mitsume ga Tooru on FC or GS Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body on SFC.

Gaagaagiins dude how about when you first start taking ADHD meds and realize you actually can be good at action games

I was more of a “quits shortly before or at the last boss in a JPRG because I intend to do endgame sidequests but lose the motivation to do it because it’s mildly more self directed than the critical pathway is” kind of undiagnosed ADHD guy.

It could be, yeah. You ever read much about executive dysfunction and/or hyperfocus?
