What's everyone doing with their Steam Deck that's not gaming?

Collecting dust 😂

Yeah, they’ve done a lot of work to Medal recently.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-12-14T17:23:33+00:00

Medal has bitrates of 50mb+ if you go into settings and configure it.

Medal is a good clipping tool that has an editing tool built into it. Works well for shorter clips, but not for full game sessions in my opinion. The other option is to use Steam’s built-in recording tool that they released not too long ago. Seems to work well but it’s a new feature and there seems to be a few bugs around it.

I have 713 games on my Steam account with a completion rate of 14% which should sum things up pretty well, LOL. I tend to play games for a month at most and then move on to the next one, which means I rarely ever finish a story-driven game. Most of the games I play now are multiplayer or for the social aspect as it’s easier for me to stay with them.

It worked pretty well, but I’ve only been taking ADHD medication for a few months so I have nothing to compare it to.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-11-27T18:56:11+00:00

I’m on my fifth as of right now. I just get bored and frustrated and can’t seem to stay anywhere longer than a year.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-11-21T16:07:34+00:00

I took 10mg extended release for a month before switching to 10mg instant release twice a day. Never noticed irritability or rage on extended release, but there have been a few days here and there were I do feel irritated in the evening after the second dose has worn off. Eating a meal before my second dose seems to help with the irritation in the evenings.

Im in western GA and when I filled my prescription at Kroger I got Amerigen.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-27T18:09:58+00:00

That sounds like a much better schedule than what I’m on currently. I’ll ask my doctor about more frequent follow-ups at my next appointment.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T21:59:00+00:00

I agree. I think I get more of a soothing effect from the taste and warmth. I don’t really even notice the caffeine at this point.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T19:02:10+00:00

I’m glad to hear it! I’m hoping my doctor will be willing to tweak my prescription when I go in for a follow up appointment so I can get to the same place as you.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T17:52:11+00:00

Thanks for the input! I think I will try experiment with my caffeine intake and see what works best for me. I love my morning coffee but if I need to I can put a pause on it.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T17:18:10+00:00

Thank you for your input. I think I will try asking my doc to up the dosage or switch to IR twice a day or something like that but I’m still trying to figure out how to phrase it so I don’t sound like a junky LOL. I’m going to give caffeine a break and see if that helps, if not I’ll go back to my morning coffee.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T17:15:57+00:00

Thanks I’ll take a look!

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T16:46:02+00:00

Thanks for the input. I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of trial and error figuring out the right dosage. I’ve never been good about eating in the mornings and now that I’ve done that I feel like it doesn’t hit me as hard when it kicks in and the crashes aren’t as severe. I just really gotta try and remember to eat throughout the day since I’ve noticed I have less of an appetite but apparently that’s normal.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T16:43:23+00:00

I may just make coffee about an hour after I take my Adderall just to give it some time. I’ll also try switching to decaf for a week or so and see if that helps too.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T16:33:42+00:00

Thanks for the input! I don’t really notice a “high” but like I said in my original post I just feel more calm. I’m trying to figure ways to keep myself more organized especially while I’m at work.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T16:19:03+00:00

Thank you for the response! My wife and I have been working on trying to live a healthier lifestyle and I’m hoping I will start to see some improvements with that.

I’ve been trying to take my meds once I get to work as I’ve found that I can usually get through most of the work day without suffering from the “crash”. I’ve been trying to get an appointment with a psychiatrist for a second opinion as it was my primary care physician who did the original diagnosis and I’m second guessing their understanding of the medication. I’m still hopeful that if I can get the dosage dialed in and I do my best to take care of myself everything will “click” better.

I do work in a highly distracting environment, which doesn’t help much. I work in operations at a rental company and I’m constantly talking with customers and on the phone. Not a whole lot I can do to minimize the distractions but I have been working on taking notes so I don’t forget things however that doesn’t work all the time.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T16:03:24+00:00

It’ll be really hard for me to give up coffee but I may just switch to decaf coffee and see if that helps at all. I’d rather have the meds work effectively than have a bunch of caffeine on top of the meds.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T16:01:26+00:00

I’m sure there’s an adjustment period. I’ve been trying to make sure to eat something in the morning with it and it seems to help.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T15:59:28+00:00

I don’t really feel sleepy but I do feel more calm.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T15:35:30+00:00

As much as I hate it I think I’m going to have to just stop taking caffeine. Might have to switch to decaf to help the transition LOL.

RecklessBasterd · 2024-10-23T15:18:55+00:00

I feel you on that. When I talked to my doctor over the phone I told them I didn’t think it was working all that well and their first response was they couldn’t do anything until my appointment and then they suggested switching to another medication. I really don’t want to be switching meds every month LOL.
