Your junk drawer game is weak. We have 3 of them in the kitchen and the least bad of them is worse than that.

Anxiety as a driving force isn’t really great for your health, so I would be happy to be rid of it. You should look into treating the ADHD itself, could be with a medical professional and trying if there are meds that work for you. One of my kids also has ADHD and we did find some meds for her that help after going through a few options.

You could also try controlling it yourself, this is a bit of mixed bag though and I would recommend exploring the medical options if they’re available for you.

For example, I’m quite a bit older than you and I never got it formally diagnosed, so no meds. I try to keep work and free time as separate as possible. For example during work hours my personal PC is strictly off, I do my work with another PC that only has access to my music and what is required for work, no other media that could distract me. I need to always do something, so basically the work gets done because I don’t have anything else to do. I don’t always stay on the right task, but this works well enough for me.

People and ADHD are both on a wide spectrum, so it’s always a bit of trial and error to find out what works for you

And the old settings that have been mysteriously switched back on…

Alcoholism (beer/whisky/wine/whatever snob) and masturbating are always good hobbies to have. You could probably wring some “prestige” and profit out of these if you’re so inclined, but I don’t think that’s on the cards for majority of people. As a somewhat proud beer & whisky snob, it’s great hobby for burning your excess money too :)

Just one error in a full trst run with all 4 sticks? Maybe RAM voltage settings need some tweaking? I don’t know how common this is these days, but more RAM generally needed higher voltage to be stable. Usually any kind of RAM issues are pretty frequent though and too low voltage tends to fail at boot.

I have not been following PC hardware for a while, but there was a time when RAM slots and the sticks themselves were designed to be used as a pair. Could be something like that?

Also since it’s occasional, could also be corrupted OS file, harddrive/SSD read issue or even a driver issue. Have you looked what errors are in the event log with the BSODs? Is it same or similar each time or completely random?

There’s a TV meteorologist Pekka Pouta in Finland. Pouta means “dry weather”. Dude has been on TV since the 90s.

I never did until one of my kids used it and it did OK. Ours leaves a bit more unpopped kernels than timing it manually, but pretty minor difference.

So the button is being used, especially when the kids wanna do their popcorn.

Yeah my youngest kid was on the middle of her second school year when the lockdown started. She was so anxious around people when in person school started again. She’s gotten somewhat better in the past couple years, but still not quite the same.

No, I didn’t have a Genesis/Mega Drive and the only friend who had it never got the game either. I did look into playing it with an emulator, but never had the time.

Pretty sure it was the SNES Shadowrun for me. I was already familiar with Shadowrun from books and the tabletop RPG and I got a Swedish copy of it because the english version wasn’t available yet. I eventually got a used copy of the English version as well.

I did play Deus Ex at some point after and I had great time with it, but I don’t think I ever played the second game for some reason.

I recall trying the OG Syndicate game at some point as well, but I’m pretty sure that well after I had exhausted the first 2 X-com games, and I was looking for more strategy stuff. No idea really when that was, but definetely after Shadowrun.

You going sometime soon? Around December the temps tend to plunge and Jan-Feb can be really cold, somewhere around -40C, potentially with some wind and blowing snow making it feel even colder. Highly recommend good outside set, with winter boots, gloves and the rest of clothing meant for that sort of weather, especially if you expect you would need to be outside for a while. I like the overall type pants and winter rubber boots big enough to fit wool socks in myself. :P Might be difficult to buy good quality stuff if you live somewhere much warmer. Probably worth asking whoever is hosting you for some help there. They might even have extra sets available already. Houses up there are typically very warm, so nothing special needed for inside use. Otherwise maybe a camera that is good in low light if you like to take pictures. Should get some good northern lights and stuff if you’re up there a whole month.

No, no no no no!

Where the fuck you store it though? A shitty car you can park anywhere, a horse is gonna take some space. Especially for us poor fucks where the temperature drops below freezing for part of the year. Car just maybe not gonna start today, a horse might not start ever again.

Like most everything else, you gotta cook it right for it to be good. To be fair I like pork mostly when it’s cooked until it starts to fall apart (ham, pulled pork and so on).

You can take a look at their post history and that will typically tell a lot more than a number next to their name

Thank you!

Did we ever get anything suggesting how this cheating would have worked? Someone livestreaming the game through some king of chess program and feeding back moves likely to win in morse code or something?

Probably app specific formatting thing? Jerboa had a similar issue a while ago, but it went away after it was updated
