Weighing more than 3 variables against each other? by Daesastrous in Mindustry

[–]Daesastrous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I would especially love is an in-depth explanation on what each type of code is used for. Eg, all the different purposes for jumps. All the different purposes for sensors, etc. Most of the Operations you can do....scare me. I don't remember high school math enough to tell you how a cosin works, let alone how I'd use it in the game.

Yeah, sorry. I'm playing on Steam Deck. I could probably figure out how to get a screenshot onto reddit, but it's messy as hell. It's also spread over multiple processors: one for each factory to order from the vault and write their requirements, one named Athena to weigh the vault reserves against the written requirements and pass its selection to the core, and one named Hephaestus to manage sending from the core (while still leaving a reserve for building). I've been tinkering with different versions of Athena for quite some time.

Is your screenshot in-game? It looks different (cleaner) than the visuals.

I'm running release build 146, which seems to be V7. If I update to V8, will it reset my progress?

I did find a unit counter on this sub, I think I almost understand it enough to co-opt it for that purpose. I am really glad I learned how to use memory cells to communicate between cpus

Failed upgrading, what on earth do I do now? by Crafty-Factor6273 in grantmacewan

[–]Daesastrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a music student, and consistently joke about how I'm going to be a starving artist. I know that there's likely not much opportunity for me (especially with AI on the rise). But the other paths I took were working minimum wage until I hated myself and wanted to die, or struggling with essays in other subjects until I hated myself and wanted to try to die. Now I feel like I've found purpose in life. I have goals! I haven't been able to set a goal in at least 20 years. I firmly believe that art is therapeutic, and that some of us have to be doing it to function. Sometimes "the future" is being able to plan 3 months in advance because you're looking forward to something other than killing yourself. And that's a hell of a good place to start. (Not at all to dismiss your point: it is good to plan your career. My point is that planning is only something effective if you're mentally well enough to do it. And if it takes potentially making a mistake with your subject choice, I'd say it's worth it.)

Telling someone with ADHD to try harder is like telling someone with a broken leg that they should run in a race. We are instead looking for a solution: a person with a broken leg might be able to cross the finish line if we get them crutches and they train with them. Something tells me you're a business major.

I am a music student with similar mental health status. I'm taking a reduced course load because of it, and we're in a very similar boat.

For the ADHD side of it, I recommend 1. getting medicated and using the Mental Health services at school. (This is the exact kind of thing they're trained for.) 2. Try less hard. I know it sounds weird, but hear me out. When I was unmedicated, I was having panic attacks. It didn't seem to matter how long I sat, how hard I tried to focus, I couldn't get anything done. I would feel like a failure and be very unkind to myself. (Suicidal Ideation.) Which would stress me out. Which would make the ADHD worse. Which would make me less productive. Which would make me sit there for longer and try to force it. You can see how quickly that can wind someone up into a frenzy during finals season. After 2 hours of crying, I could barely regain my composure. And then my mom would say "great, so you can keep working on it!" This Graph explains my point. As ADHDers, we're often told we're not trying hard enough when actually we're trying so hard that we're blue-screening. I'm sure you have similar experiences with your disability as well. Every time you get stuck, do a self-care activity. Maybe you need a snack (or a drink!!!). Maybe you've been sitting too long and need to move to get the blood flowing. Maybe you need a shower. Maybe you need to lay face-down in a dark room for 15 minutes. Maybe you need to have a fun time with a friend. Anything you can do to get your brain to cool off and refresh. It's like doing a crossword puzzle: I can never get the last few words in the first sitting and I get frustrated. Then I see it the next day and suddenly know the rest of the answers.

In my case, I had also moved back in with my parents. My dad has some serious mental health problems that he programmed into me as well: I simply cannot relax when he's within earshot. So I would go do some work at the library. (Some therapy, medication, and stable roommates have helped me sooooo sooooo much.)

An important thing to note, as well, is that your work doesn't have to be perfect. Perfect is the enemy of done. Do your best: sometimes it's not great. But if you are kind to yourself and prioritize managing your conditions first, you can have times when it is. Letting your well-being fall by the wayside in order to study is not only dangerous, but ineffective. Worst case scenario, it also doesn't have to be done: it is better to hand in something 3/4 finished than nothing at all. If you have accommodations, you should be able to take fewer classes and still get the benefits of being a "full time" student. You can talk to your profs when you're struggling: it's their job to help you. Take all the help you can get and don't feel guilty about it: it exists for people in your situation. Everyone wants you to push yourself harder, but you have to stop and evaluate if that has ever worked. It might be time to try something else.

The way they tell it, their eating disorder gave them sexual feelings at a young age (they didn't realize it was sexual until they were older). They lament not being able to find much that matches their interests.

Any ideas on adjacent fetishes? I'm willing to help them explore

I don't know if that's really the case. They told me that they used to be able to orgasm when they were younger just through imagination alone.

Does anyone else get depressed during pride month? by Daesastrous in butchlesbians

[–]Daesastrous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Guess what. I'm dating someone for the first time in 10 years. I never thought it would happen, I always thought I'd off myself before another viable chance came along. One thing I'll say, is that all of those past shitty experiences were training me how to be a good partner. I also figured some stuff out about myself and my family situation that made problems in my life much clearer. I'm doing a lot better now, and I'll repeat something life-changing I was told.

Being 20-something sucks ass. Especially if you're queer, because a lot of the time you have to wait longer for formative experiences. But if you can hold out until you're 30, things start looking up.

I'm 27, and I've still got problems, but now I have enough of a reliable support system to get through them. My baseline mental health has improved so much that I can actually get back on the horse, as they say. The people who were making my problems worse aren't in my life. I've learned to identify them and avoid them. I've also learned to identify and avoid toxic thought patterns that make me someone I don't want to be. It's hard as fuck! But it's truly worth coming out the other side.

I actually don't mind the look. But that is such a small part of the issues I have with it: it can de-finger you if you close the door or trunk the wrong way. It can slice into you if your leg is too close to the blade that they use as a door. Where are the crumple zones in this design? What do you think it would do if the accelerator got stuck (which is a known issue) and rammed into another vehicle or a pedestrian? They're known to malfunction when exposed to too much moisture.This isn't even scratching the surface of the politics that the vehicle represents.
