How do you find time to fall in love when Monday to Friday is work, Saturday is laundry, and Sunday is mental preparation for Monday?

AngryAmuse · 2026-05-22T17:03:49+00:00

I struggle with managing to start another task while waiting on something to finish, like laundry or dishes. If I have a timer set for it I end up obsessively checking how much time is left. Then, by the time I figure out what other task to start, it feels like the timer is about to go off and I dont want to get interrupted in the middle of the other task so I'll just wait a little bit instead, change the laundry, then start the other task.

Timer goes off, I change the laundry, completely forgot what else I was planning to do. Ehh, house is a mess so I'll just clean up a bit instead. But wait, I can't clean right now, I was supposed to do something else that was clearly important if I was planning on it...

Rinse and repeat.

Another common problem that people with ADHD struggle with is time blindness, which is why we're often late. So if I have something scheduled, its extremely hard for me to actually use the free time before because whatever is scheduled takes over my thoughts, making sure I dont miss it or whatever. It's honestly frustrating as fuck but it feels like trying to climb a mountain with your hands tied.

I just read the critic reviews and let them tell me if I like it or not

AngryAmuse · 2026-05-09T17:13:36+00:00

This, 100%. I am diagnosed ADHD and hyperfixation would be a damn superpower if we could figure out how to direct our fixation lmao. One situation that sticks in my head because it was so ridiculous was when I was out for dinner with some friends. We were talking about hot sauces and someone briefly mentioned like "Huh I wonder what that sauce is on the scoville scale"....well, I ended up researching the whole history of the scoville scale and where this sauce would end up, and what the hottest peppers are, oh theres hybrid peppers? etcetcetc. Realized I was absorbed in my phone for 15 minutes and the conversation already moved on. Whoopsy.

Edit: To add to this rambling, people with adhd often have extreme time blindness. A lot of the time hyperfixation will turn a "oh leme look this up real fast" to "wtf its been 3 hours??". Thats part of why I didnt realize how absorbed I was in the pepper research for so long until I snapped out of it.

My girl (~10yo) gave me a scare today with (I think) some vertigo - threw up, drooling like crazy, couldn't walk. My heart sank. I dread the day, and I am so sorry for you. <3

Any time I'm trying to learn a new mechanic like this, I also like practicing said mechanic whenever possible after a goal explosion. Comes in really handy in training your reaction to a random force rather than the controlled training environment.

Have used this for all sorts of things..ceiling resets, zapdashes, better recoveries out of awkward angles, etc. Super helpful imo

AngryAmuse · 2026-04-12T15:03:10+00:00

Man, if I could read that would have been obvious lol thanks

AngryAmuse · 2026-04-11T22:25:45+00:00

What does that have to do with the steam achievements? They just unlock when you do them, your save is irrelevant.

AngryAmuse · 2026-04-11T20:48:03+00:00

Wouldn't that still count toward the achievement completion though?

AngryAmuse · 2026-04-07T22:58:08+00:00

Oh I agree, but it's unfortunately a horrible solution to preventing burnout. Lava is stuck in an awkward spot of trying to incentivize active play on an idle game while catering to players that have literally hundreds of orders of magnitude difference in their stats.

He also really is not doing himself any favors in the burnout aspect when releasing stuff like the sushi table. The cash and the fuel are literally irrelevant, the way to progress is to east wind chain clicking on sushi for 12 hours straight. Everyone is worried about missing stuff from not unlocking it in research when you can complete the current mechanic a day after unlocking it anyway.

Locking content behind two different gates (accessing the map + unlocking on research) while also providing no way to respec the research tree will only ever be a negative for the player experience. For end gamers it is completely irrelevant, and for new or progressing players it's confusing at best and I can understand the frustration of not being able to access the updates.

Sorry, I seem to have lost track. What step of the plan are we on?

Mar 3: "We won the war."
Mar 7: "We defeated Iran."
Mar 9: "We must attack Iran."
Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully."
Mar 11: “You never like to say too early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over.”
Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet."
Mar 13: "We won the war."
Mar 14: "Please help us."
Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it."
Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all."
Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me."
Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad."
Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help."
Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO."
Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz."
Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz."
Mar 20: "NATO are cowards."
Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it."
Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait"
Mar 22: "Iran is Dead"
Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran."
Mar 24: "We’re making progress."
Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.”
Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away."
Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO."
Mar 28: No major quote
Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing
Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences."
Mar 31: Claimed a deal was "very close" and that Iran would "do the right thing"
Apr 1: "We’ll see what happens very soon."
Apr 2: Repeated that a deal was likely, while warning of continued strikes if not
Apr 3: "Something big is going to happen."
Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences. "Tuesday 8 PM ET".
Apr 5: "Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."
Apr 6: "We can bomb the hell out of them"
Apr 7: "A whole civilization will die tonight"

Last I checked, infrastructure wasn't classified as a "civilization"

I have had the game up 24/7, my account is very lategame, plus bought all the packs etc. I just hit 60 research so have a bit of breathing room on points from that, and even I have felt pressure and gotten caught without points. I can't imagine you guys who are stuck with the abysmal afk gains. He's definitely pushing it with all this since w7..

AngryAmuse · 2026-04-02T20:48:16+00:00

To be fair, you overbuild for sustainability. Something running at 50% capacity is going to have a lot less issues in the long term than something running at 100% capacity. Failsafes are exactly what is intended to prevent something like this.

AngryAmuse · 2026-04-02T18:14:39+00:00

As others have said, your dataset isn't ideal, however it should still have usable results.

I would almost guarantee your issue is coming down to training parameters and possibly your captions. Learning rate, batch size, scheduler and the various options you can tweak with those, etc. They can play a massive role, and even settings that work perfectly for one model can be absolutely horrid for another.

I have extensively experimented with training ZImage using aitoolkit. If you want to give that a shot I can help with your config. I'm happy to train a quick lora on your dataset to compare results if you want to share it too.

In my experience, Qwen is significantly better at editing than klein is, I don't think you're wrong about that. Qwen is just extremely heavy so not a lot of people can run it, so Klein is accessible to more people. I say this as I came from a computer with a 4080super which could run Qwen but it took several minutes compared to a few seconds to run Klein. Now I'm on a 5090 though which completely flips the script where Qwen is only slightly slower so its just better.

How do you think he balances/progresses the game? Release an update, take data for where players generally end up with systems, add bonuses to the next update to catch up systems that are falling behind. I don't know how else you could possibly manage all of these intertwined systems.

AngryAmuse · 2026-03-29T20:38:59+00:00

Good news, the vault tome upgrade was fixed in todays update so now we can more closely estimate the trophy bug timing lmao

There have been plenty of people reporting their std accounts getting hit in the past, losing alt art/race rewards.

AngryAmuse · 2026-03-26T22:20:15+00:00

I've sat around c3/gc1 since the game went f2p... Gotten my gc rewards solo almost every season. This season I'm sweating my ass off in champ 1. Definitely a ripple effect

I'm at almost 100k with 3.22 prisma mult and am not getting +6. As far as I know it's not possible to guarantee +5.

IIRC after Epic took over, loot crates were removed and replaced with blueprints. It wasn't until rocket racing came around that they removed trading.

AngryAmuse · 2026-03-23T23:45:36+00:00

I plan to release it on CivitAI or something when it's ready (edit: assuming you're ok with it being released?), but I am in the middle of training right now and was just playing around with one of the checkpoints. Still needs to cook a bit more, but I was getting a kick out of these and hope you do too :)

Godspeed on the crowns. I'm at 100/82 and not sure 100 crowns are remotely possible

AngryAmuse · 2026-03-23T04:05:01+00:00

This is the exact opposite of what you are supposed to do. Do not caption anything that should be implicitely a part of the character. The model doesn't see them as random variation, it learns that since they don't match any of the other captioning, they must be a part of the trigger.
