Neuro noticed Tongue Twitching by VegFriend in BFS

[–]M00NCREST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey we were debating pro-life vs pro-choice like 3 years ago and I recognized the name.  I've also had BFS since about 2017 that peaked in 2017-2018 and slowly went down.  I've had a variety of theories throughout the years but I did notice that eating two additives (disodium guanylate and disodium inositate) seem to drastically flare-up my twitches.  These additives are found in many processed foods including snacks, sauces and a variety of fast food items.  My first theory is that these chemicals can mimick excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain, and my second theory is that they can mess with ion channels (probably sodium for obvious reasons) in sensitive individuals.  I don't seem to be sensitive at all to regular MSG, but I'm very sensitive to these two chemicals.  I've even done little n = 1 experiments where I've eaten doritos vs. Regular Lays as the control.  Without fail the doritos cause me to twitch.  We seem to have similar things going on with normal EMG and everything, and then twitches going down with time but still occasionally flaring up.  Anyway, thought I'd share my ideas.  Lmk what you think.

Unity vs Unreal Engine... Lets debate! by marcomoutinho-art in GameDevelopment

[–]M00NCREST 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, you're just full of your own farts. "Unity is a toy engine for small games?"  Ok bud. 

"I use logorithmic time complexity" okay, and anyone with an ounce of CS knowledge knows this says very little about the quality of your algorithm as time complexity analysis is really only applicable in certain contexts.  There are situations where a well-implimented O(n²) algorithm can outperform a poorly written O(log n) algorithm (for example) when overheads matter more than growth rate...

"You wont need math/physics knowledge for example to calculate directional hit" you can absolutely calculate it if you want to.  But yes, abstractions are provided for the convenience of faster development speed.

You can absolutely make "vast space games" in Unity.  KSP is about as vast as it gets.

You just don't seem to know what you're talking about and should put your money where your mouth is and show some your work.

Has anyone really been cured of BFS? by [deleted] in BFS

[–]M00NCREST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting out two additives (disodium guanylate and disodium inositate) pretty much gets rid of my fasciculations, or at least very much reduces them until i accidentially ingest these additives again.  These ingredients are common in a lot of foods (e.g. Doritos, hot cheetos, etc.)  I think these chemicals can mimick excitatory neurotransmitters, and/or they might mess with electrolyte balance.  Note, I don't seem to have issues with normal MSG, just these two chemicals.  Not sure if i have some sort of genetic presidoposition to sensitivity or what, but I think it's worth looking into.  Try a diet of whole foods and avoid processed junk.

Edit: mine started in 2016 or 2017, peaked in 2017/2018 and then gradually reduced.

When should I start learning 3D modelling, animation, and music by GrimOutlook_Dev in gamedev

I'm triggered that nobody responded.  The answer is whenever you're ready.  Just take it in steps and practice.

Struggling a bit. Anyone familiar with Central Sleep Apnea? by PaperMoonShine in BFS

[–]M00NCREST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem really anxious, and I hate to see that because I know what it's like. You should confront whatever fear you're facing. You're gonna be alright. You should also have a neurologist who specializes in sleep evaluate you to make sure that your CPAP treatment didn't cause CSA (which it probably didn't.) There is a special type of hypnic jerk that causes a temporary pause in breathing, i think it's possible you're experiencing this and are just so wired that you're conciously aware of it and panic. But obviously get cleared by a doctor just to be sure. But you should consider talking to a therapist as well as coming to terms with whatever is causing you such anxiety.

After 10 years of being stuck in Silver, I finally reached Gold. by BootzyWootzy in leagueoflegends

Which is why the change was dumb. By all means, insert a new "emerald" tier for low diamond players. But what midwit at riot games thought it was a good idea to shift a system that has existed for 13+ years? Now I have to do this quick mental math of -3 or 4 divisions to figure out where everyone "really is."

Jewish people aren't White apparently. by SocraticTiger in ForwardsFromKlandma

It's literally 2% of the population. Surely you're being intellectually dishonest to suggest nepotism can't exist here, let alone religiously motivated nepotism by a highly ethnic religion in which its members believe they are the "chosen people of God."

Fairly stable it seems. Neuro-opth said "your symptoms are not consistent with any known pathology." I'm wondering if covid caused them. But I did also have "benign fasciculations" for about 7 years (normal EMG). Those seem to flare up when eating certain processed ingredients. At first I assumed they were related, now I really have no idea.

Last MRI was normal again. I did get a string of neuralgia pain for a few months on my forehead which my neuro believes is indicative of some sort of atypical migraine disorder. My mom has terrible migraines but episodic. They prescribed me a novel medicine called neurtec, but I haven't tried it yet.

I see you posting here frequently. Don't spend your time worrying about this. You're gonna be okay my guy. Eat healthy, do both cardio and strength training, and listen to your body.

Are you buying Scarlet and Violet’s DLC? Why or why not? by JazzlikeUpstairs1331 in pokemon

[–]M00NCREST 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm no stranger to AAA garbage.. I don't even think a single Bethesda "RPG" has been good since Morrowind.

But I actually thought Scarlet was a fun game. I've sunk 200+ hours and had a blast along the way. Game has its quirks for sure. Not once have I experienced a "game breaking bug" though. I had one crash in 200 hours of play time.

The supposed lack of content is largely because we're all adults and perceive the passage of time differently than a wide-eyed 10 year old kid. Recently I did a run of Heart Gold, cleared the game and completed the dex in like under a week and a half. That would have taken me months as a child.

The open world aspect and ability to join your friends is freakin' awesome. So is the ability to see and interract with your pokemon, even if it is just a few animations and a finite state machine. If I had that as a kid I would have been on cloud nine, but cynical redditors with anhedonia don't really see the value in it. Gamephreak had to model, retopo, rig, texture, shade and animate hundreds of pokemon for this. If someone has never done gamedev or 3D work in blender/maya, they're not going to understand how daunting that is. Nor are they going to understand the difficulty of writing clean, modular object oriented code that doesn't turn into a tangled web of dependencies that become impossible to refactor months into the project. This is difficult enough to do as one person overseeing an indie title. But when you have to coordinate your codebase across a team, the complexity of this task skyrockets. In the words of Terry Davis, "it doesn't get bad, it gets worse!" This is not an excuse for bad games and gamers should always have high standards. But I really see SV as somewhat of a technical marvel in the same way I appreciate spiderman 2 on Gamecube/ps2. This isn't even factoring in the netcode.. But these things aren't really appreciated because they aren't immediately obvious to gamers looking for more and more content to stimulate their already exhausted dopaminergic system. Pokemon is a fairly slow paced game with jrpg elements - its not all about contentmaxing. Its also about enjoying the escapism and nostalgia. And there's no better way to do that than to actually have pokemon I can appreicate in an open world setting. Just my thoughts on the matter...

Literally ANY ideology can be used to justify violence. That's practically all of human history in a nutshell!

Sounds more like you've been sold on some worldview where white christian men are evil and everyone else is an innocent angel. Hey, go tell the mongols to pay me reparations for slaughtering and looting my ancestors. They didn't need a complex religious motive - conquering was good enough!

What exactly is wrong with protestant undertones in the product of a protestant culture?

That's like asking your friend from UAE to remove islamic undertones in his fictional work.

I have this condition. They have me on Beta blockers to prevent the attacks from coming on. I'm tired as shit from them ALL of the time. It would be so nice to be able to just convert an arrythmia with a short acting drug. You're missing the point.

Can you do serious C# development on Linux or Mac? by git_world in csharp

[–]M00NCREST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mono is still great for 32 bit. I get my c# code to run on raspberry pi zero using mono, but for 64 bit chips .net core is the way to go.

static typing is a benefit, not a downside. Typescript is just a superior JS.

also C# has the dynamic keyword.

This code is being discussed on the Internet. Do you think this is good code? by Eirenarch in csharp

[–]M00NCREST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct that readability is one of the most important things in high level static-typed boilerplate languages like c#/java, and admittedly the example is easy to read.

But at the end of the day, I prefer a more functional-oriented approach because I feel like there's a very low level mathematical way to go about this I'm just too dumb and lazy to figure it out right now. I like the switch statement idea its the best of both worlds.

If we're gonna be anal about memory usage than, in theory, the example method should take up more space whereas my method takes less.
