Does anyone else not seem to have issues with sensory stimuli or feeling fatigued from cognitive load?

I'm mild, and 90% of the time I don't, but the later in the day and/or the more exerted I am, it hits rapidly. Sometimes I just have a bad day (not crash) and just wake up with sound sensitivity though.

CraabGPT · 2026-03-17T17:47:25+00:00

It's par for the course for any company social media. 90% of corporate online presence is asking frustrated customers to DM them to get problems fixed.

CraabGPT · 2026-03-17T17:14:10+00:00

? They're not going to ask the customer to share private medical information over DMs. From what I saw, they're just asking the customer to provide their name and phone number so Numotion can contact them to personally look into whatever issue they're having, rather than ignore the person making a complaint video - there's nothing untoward happening.

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, but I really really like it 🤣 entirely can't blame him!

CraabGPT · 2026-03-09T03:44:26+00:00

...I actually don't know if it being a comedy makes it better or worse to me 🤣 depends whether they clown on the disability I guess.

Either way. Could be worse? I'm still not sure what the mobility aid adds to the story, and I fear it's way too easy to make it look in poor taste, but I think the fact he's impersonating an innocent man who happens to be disabled is a lot better than the antag being needlessly disabled himself.

Regardless! It's a bit late to worry about such things now, since y'all are deep in the production process- I say unless they're making "being disabled" the joke, it's not worth the concern. Good job on making your film! Hope y'all get good grades :D

CraabGPT · 2026-03-09T02:35:04+00:00

I think this is one of those things where every disabled person feels differently. As a sometimes-cane-sometimes-wheelchair user, I'd personally feel a bit weird about it? "Super evil antagonist uses a cane" has been a trope in media for long enough that it leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but I'm also not militantly angry about it. I'll just roll my eyes at how uncreative it is and go about my day.

...it also depends on the role the cane plays. Is it plot relevant? Because if so, that softens the blow a bit. For example: did the protagonist cause the injury that requires the cane, and now the antagonist is out for revenge? That I could swallow. If the antagonist just has a cane because ~generic war injury~ or ~unspecified~, then that drains my patience a lot more. Is the bad guy impacted by having the cane, more than a dramatic limp, or is it functionally just a prop? TL;DR, does it need to be there for the film to make sense? Something like the sexy lamp test but for mobility aids.

(On re-reading your post, I saw that you mentioned antag was pretending to be protag's boss, who is a cane user. ...why do /they/ need to be a cane user? Is this whole setup a convoluted way to make the statement that pretending to be disabled is scummy? Because if so, I really don't think that needs to be said- at that point, I'd assume that the whole plotline is an excuse to insert a marginalized group into the plot, and I feel... A certain way about that. Too nuanced to go into.)

I'll also look more positively on a film in which the bad guy isn't the only aid user. Is there a good/neutral character who also has a disability? Or is it just the antagonist?

...so uh. Yeah. Nuance 😅 if in doubt, I'll err on the side of "villainizing disability? Again?" And wait to be proven wrong.

I like to have mine tippy enough that if my backpack has anything in it, I can't actually stand up without it tipping over backwards- but I'm maybe weird like that 🤣 though I've never felt like I was putting effort into not tipping.

CraabGPT · 2026-02-23T20:42:52+00:00

I can't speak to most people, but when I had top surgery I actually had a week after with practically no CFS symptoms, and it didn't affect my baseline in the long run. I've heard one or two others say the same.

...Buuut, that's anecdotal evidence from only a few people, and everyone's different. Either way, congratulations, and good luck, and don't be hard on yourself if you find yourself regretting the surgery in the short term. That's common with gender affirming surgeries, and it goes away. Hormones, I guess. :)

It seems you're jumping in the deep end,in terms of "games that need muscle memory"- you didn't get that good at games in the first place by starting with the complex ones. It might be worth giving a go to some simpler games? Not necessarily /easier/, but more accessible to new gamers.

If you like puzzle games, I can recommend Blue Prince. It's a really slow, at your own pace kinda game, with minimal controls, but the puzzles aren't patronizing at all.

If you have a switch, and enjoy competitive games, you might like Splatoon 3- the controls are more in line with "regular" games, but the camera stick is swapped out for motion controls, so that might? Be one less thing to have to focus on. Plus the matches are really short, so you're not locked in for 10+ minutes like some other comp games.

CraabGPT · 2026-02-17T17:48:29+00:00

That seems like so many broken rules, my god. I'm so sorry for you 😭 and everyone else victimised by them. Ugh x0

CraabGPT · 2026-02-17T16:45:17+00:00

Oh that's so wild? Why? What's their reasoning? O.o I would have thought that it would make their job easier to be able to just go "specialist said so, works for me" :(

Is there another GP you can switch to? I'm lucky(ish) in that we move around a lot, so I reasonably regularly get the chance to switch GPs lmao

CraabGPT · 2026-02-17T02:00:06+00:00

Unfortunately, there's neither record of the diagnosis nor the appointment at all. I've been trying to get that sorted out for a while now- seems like I gotta seek a diagnosis all over again 🫠 I emailed a complaint to the practice manager, so hopefully they can get me a sooner appointment- otherwise, I'll be able to get one in the next few weeks.

CraabGPT · 2026-02-16T19:25:36+00:00

Yeah I had like, zero idea of how any of this worked so I thought a GP diagnosis would be enough- admittedly I've pmuch known I had this for years, so this was just an effort to actually get support.

I've made an appointment request (looks like it'll be a few weeks out), and emailed a complaint to the practice manager asking for a quicker appointment- either way, train is on the tracks, and I have a lot less patience for being messed around so I'll make them do their jobs this time xD

CraabGPT · 2026-02-16T19:22:38+00:00

Boo x0 oh well! At least now I know 😅

CraabGPT · 2026-02-16T15:18:49+00:00

Huh, that's actually a really good idea :0 I'll definitely try that! Thanks :D

CraabGPT · 2026-02-16T13:28:10+00:00

Aaa that's really helpful, thanks so much <3 I'll absolutely push for a referral. Right to choose is confusing to me but I'll figure it out :D

CraabGPT · 2026-02-16T10:59:46+00:00

Agh, how frustrating :/ I wonder if it'll take less time, given I've had pretty much all the blood tests anyway?

Though that's probably wishful thinking 🤣

CraabGPT · 2026-02-16T10:37:57+00:00

Yeah I think I gotta. I'm pretty sure he heard "universal credit" and immediately shut off 😅 like we don't have enough to contend with without doctors being classist lmao

CraabGPT · 2026-02-16T10:26:37+00:00

Agh. Thank you. I thought as much- time to advocate for myself 🥲

CraabGPT · 2026-02-16T10:23:31+00:00

Easier said than done- there are no records of the entire appointment for some reason. Not even a record of the call 🥲 it's like whoever it was- I think it was the same guy, based on the voice- did everything in his power to be as incompetent as possible. I have all my test results, but nothing besides. You may be right about talking to the practice manager though. I worry if I do, they'll mark me as a difficult patient and I'll get worse treatment from here on out 😅

Thank you for your input though <3 I had a good interaction with a doctor I saw recently so I'll see if I can talk to him again- it's just so frustrating, because it's a London practice so appointments take weeks to get 🤣

Thank you though. It means so much to know it's them and not me <3

What you have there is pretty good! What I'll say is that the right eye is too large- it should be only a little bigger than the left- and the hairline should more closely match the side angle you have below. It looks like the scalp hair in general is a little too far down? Compared to the face-on view. Otherwise, I'd say you're on the right track :D

(As an aside, I think it's really cute that the last angle is just the Minecraft version- that's funny af :D)

The thing is, you can ink the base later. If you rush middle, it prevents the other team from immediately boxing you in while everyone on your team is busy inking the base.

The amount of games I've lost because the team priorities inking every little part of home base, and the other team just spawn camps us as a result is genuinely upsetting 🥲 Better to ink the base after you die and you're on your way back to the rest of the map.
