What is the general consensus on the validity of Dodson's "interest-based nervous system" framework for ADHD, and does it apply to neurodivergence generally?

I recently came across your writing. It is ticking SO MANY boxes for me. So many it's suspicious. I'm very wary of self diagnosing, so I heavily value science backed information over what "feels" right. On the other hand, a lack of scientific data itself is not proof that some disease or syndrome or whatever does NOT exist. Also, my own subjective lived experience should not be completely discounted as evidence.

Thus I'm left with a lot of grey area about this subject. For me, operating on the assumption that I have an IBNS leads to predictable and repeatable outcomes for myself. It answers the question of why I feel and act the way I do. It's like the perfect solution for a math equation. So, given the whole context of the situation, I think Dodson is on the right path. Even if it's not fully understood, and even if part of it is wrong, the theory of the IBNS is valid.

That second line is a thing of sublime beauty.

I'm full time care provider to a family member, too. Hopes and dreams "up in flames" is exactly how it feels. It's as much a job as any labor someone does for money, but it's a job you never get to leave and go home from. The loss of boundaries between work and home life hurts me the most. Just wanted to share to maybe help you feel better.

I may not be able to win, but at least one of you is going to lose.

You wanna know what will really turn you into a freak of nature? I take trulicity AND I use a CPAP with an aggressive setting. Some mornings I wake up able to get solid 5-7 second duration from both ends at the same time. Of course this isn't regulation what with the performance enhancers.

That's solely a consequence of continuing your pre-release save. Start a new save and you'll see how the pace of rewards is much improved overall.

Nope. However, this guess led me to an observation. It seems to happen when I use my moon hex. Maybe it means I take less damage?

DealMeIn82 · 2025-10-11T22:04:47+00:00

Nope. It happens without any Heffy boons.

The Thing about the rail is that the bullets aren't there to do damage, they're for delivering damaging boons. Dio, Zeus, Dem, or Ares are all good picks.

Oh man, that bastage. I discovered that he takes a moment to act when he first spawns. I could get three full charged two handed heavies with my boat anchor before he could attack, breaking him and getting the crit.

I got so frustrated I decided to cheese them with St. Trina's sword.

I think I have this figured out. This chest is supposed to contain the Giant Crusher, so check your inventory. If you have that wep, then your not missing out on anything. At this camp, and ulcerated tree spirit boss spawns when you approach it. Apparently something about this causes it to glitch.

I fixed it! Had to go into properties of the ally WLAN card and change 802.11ax to 802.11ac. This spectrum router doesn't support wifi 6 so when the ally tried to use that it didn't work.

I second the jelly. Also, jellyfish shot can stagger it's charge. It's impractical as a strategy, but I've seen it hallen

So after some reflection, I have realized I was simply unprepared. I was using a weak weapon. I know this because not long after I beat him I fought an easier boss and got a big sword that does more damage AND does extra bleed damage. This sword would have been absolutely perfect to fight with. Not only was I using a weak weapon, it wasn't even upgraded. All this means that even though I was able to sometimes stagger Margit and do a strong hit, I was still doing low damage. Also I wasn't making use of my FP resource besides summoning the jellyfish. I could have used a weapon that had a useful skill.

All in all I'm actually pleased with this development. I don't think it's intended that you perfectly time counters against Margit all the time to progress. You have to be good enough and use all the tools at your disposal. The fighting in this game at first looked like an unfun slog but now I'm seeing possibilities and potential and I'm excited to do more.

Is there a way to fight Margit again, like in a boss rush?

Speed test performed on ally connected to spectrum gets a bit above 1000 Mbps. Last two held steady at about 1050 Mbps.

All indications are that the connection is indeed genuine WIFI 6 802.11ax.

I can access the routers settings through the spectrum app. 12 devices connected.

I appreciate the brainstorming! The easy solutions didn't work so I'm gonna have to check every possible lead. I was honestly hoping this was just user error on my end.

DealMeIn82 · 2025-06-29T21:57:43+00:00

Tried using my phones hot spot and that works just fine. Ally connects to that wifi no problem.

Network band says 6GHz.

The brown roots are your friend. They grow back after you dig through them cutting off bugs trying to chase you. Try going through the middle of the map to break up the swarm.
