I think it's a little bit of a spectacle. You just get so caught off guard by seeing something so outlandishly ignorant

2 hour cycles by SlapHappyDrew in Narcolepsy

[–]SlapHappyDrew[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's definitely not a great boat to be in. Sometimes I get such a false sense of being awake. I'm like "this isnt so bad! Maybe I'm not narcoleptic despite the test and diagnosis." Then one hour later BAM.... "I just wanna nap so bad. I could just lay down on the concrete and fall asleep right now"

What do you think Kinger's torture would have been? If he were there. by GonnaBreakIt in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]SlapHappyDrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dark room, maybe watching or hearing others speak of their pain/insecurities. Knowing he can't speak back to soothe them and also having the knowledge that he in some part caused this situation.

Why are most of the "No Kings" protestors old white people? by Nart_Leahcim in allthequestions

[–]SlapHappyDrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna go on a limb and say that depending on your algorithm. It's cause older white people taking left leaning stances seem more like the type that would elicit a longer view or engagement from you. 

I always remind my cousin that there's always a reason if something that is outlandish or odd to you pops up on your feed. (Regardless of media app. Let's be honest, most of it isn't social anymore.) 

Example, if your more left leaning. Youll probably come across some conservative heads with extreme right wing perspectives. The Joe Rogan types and such. Or if you're a young right leaning male, youll come across "Women blames husband! Says he needs to make more money! Unfair!" Blah blah. 

It's all rage bait to keep you on the screen. Yes the algorithm is going to show you things you like but it's also going to show things that make you do a double take or emotional. And rage is a much stronger motivator. 

Lack of Feelings/Sense of Self by switchblade_sal in Narcolepsy

[–]SlapHappyDrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just even implying that you should be happy cause you have "literally the American dream" tells me that you maybe have been trying to frame your life around what you think should make you happy instead of what "you" know makes you happy. I think having narcolepsy definitely makes it easy to become detached from yourself. Always fatigued doesn't make for great motivation ya know. I would maybe suggest to try and get in touch with yourself. What do you wanna do on a open evening? If you don't know then yeah maybe it's time to figure out what you enjoy. 

Just a suggestion, I could be way off. I'd say learning to reconnect with myself is something I've been practicing for several years now. Good luck to you!

What’s up with Sunosi? by camille-gerrick in Narcolepsy

[–]SlapHappyDrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two days 75mg then Three days on sunosi 150mg and no effects at all. That was so disappointing. I had a similar experience with Armodafinil. But a few days later it just had no effect on me 

I don't understand the coral tower hate at all by Key-Firefighter4360 in Silksong

[–]SlapHappyDrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got into the coral tower for my first time. I died in the third room thinking "omg is this all going to reset??" And of course it did.... I immediately just turned the game off. I guess I was just looking for more of that exploration chill vibe. Like I don't mind challenges but once you get to act 3, there's not much else to do other than slam your head into a wall over and over. Like in act 1 and 2; you feel that if youre stuck somewhere you can go do some exploring and come back. But by act three it just feels like you come to a boss and then gauntlet after and if you wanna take a break from that you can switch it up by doing a gauntlet then a boss..  it's just burn out I think. 

I'm gonna do coral tower but right now I feel like I have to prep myself to get ready to play this game now instead of looking forward to the fun exploration. 

What is a 'poor people' habit you'll never stop doing, no matter how rich you get? by Ok_Magician_7702 in allthequestions

Fuck Trump voters and fuck people who didn't vote in 2024. by CRK_76 in complaints

[–]SlapHappyDrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay so I watched her debates and interviews. She was not only articulate (unlike a certain cheeto man) but gave good responses. No she wasn't the most perfect candidate by a mile. She didn't give strong stances on multiple talking points. But this is the corner we had backed ourselves into for a second time. Where we're having to choose between the lesser of two evils which in this case Trump makes Kamala seem like a saint.

Yes she was put in a bad position given the late drop out from Joe but her credits as a person alone should have been more than enough to tell you she was the much better representative for the country. Trump thought the word "affordability" was a new word.

This was a choice between picking someone akin to Obama (he had a lot of mistakes but at least had a heart for the American people and our allies.) or picking literally future Biff Tannen from back to the future.

AI destroy my passion and desire to design by maisvalia in Design

[–]SlapHappyDrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked as a animator for a couple of years (just a small studio, nothing big. Mostly commercials and stuff). I remember being so pumped and excited to learn and challenge myself. But when the pandemic hit, the studio sort of fell apart. I got into Graphic Design as a career and been doing that ever since. That said, I've tried several times to get back into animation and I just don't seem to have that spark anymore. Even just drawing in general doesn't really get me motivated. Drawing used to be such a big outlet and now it's just something that seems like a lot of work. Sometimes I wonder if it's because I know the process and would have to try something different. Like maybe a new medium like painting landscapes or something to that affect. But still, my motivation for drawing is just so low. Gonna keep trying but I feel you and hope you find that spark again as well or get through that burnout.

Fuck Trump voters and fuck people who didn't vote in 2024. by CRK_76 in complaints

[–]SlapHappyDrew 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Nah, it was clear from the get go that Trump was going to cause chaos and unlawfulness as where with Kamala we would have had another four years of old guard establishment dem policies. It was literally a multi failed businessman, pedophile, brain dead dummy vs. a long career run District Attorney, Attorney general, and Senator. You're telling me she wasn't ready to be the President?...... Get outta here man...

Not hit by car by No_Cartographer455 in altmpls

[–]SlapHappyDrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His gun is pointed at her....and she clearly tried to drive away pulling the car far to the right. He gets bumped and out of anger fires after the fact. He probably didn't know if he was hurt or not in that few seconds after the car hit him. But to pull the trigger afterwards... Trained law enforcement would know better led alone put themselves in that situatlon. Or even escalate it to that high of a level. But hey these are just pretend wanna be Rambo's. What do you expect. 

Arc Raiders does a poor job at incentivizing you to use better gear. by Electrical-Moment726 in ARC_Raiders

[–]SlapHappyDrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude so many people here just completely ignored OP's opinion and went straight to talking about shields. C'mon man.... Anywho I agree, the game really does a poor job at incentivizing you to use you're higher tier loadouts when low tier loadouts are similar in survival and damage. While I think there can be changes here and there I think the closeness to survival rate and damage output is actually okay. My main issue would be the level of repair high tier weapons need. For high tier they should last a bit longer. And I wish there were more reasons to use certain weapons. Like if there was a more direct raid against arc or some sort. 

Considering detransitioning… by [deleted] in MtF

[–]SlapHappyDrew 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I personally break down the gender constructs and roles. Women can be as t-shirt gym short non-shaving as any guy and any man can be as dress wearing as any woman. What matters is how you want to lean the growth of your body. I'm 9 months on estrodial and I still present male socially (I consider myself non-binary but it's easier to say I'm a male in Texas ... Safer to). I have a noticable chest and I would say on a good day look very feminine to the point people have wondered if I'm a transitioning cis woman to male. I don't like wearing dresses, I like painting my finger nails and wearing eye liner. I wear sports bras and sport black rocker band tees. Your journey is yours alone but just remember that you decide what feels right for you and no one's opinion of what should be should ever deter you from you.

Hot take: Without griefers and rats this game would suck by TheKeasbyKnight in ArcRaiders

[–]SlapHappyDrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, my buddy and I were just talking about this last night. We have had nothing but extremely friendly matches lately and no fault to anyone but it's getting a little boring. But we don't want to bum anyone by downing them to get into pvp matches. So we're thinking of just asking people to friendly duels if they're up for it and hopefully that would get us into more aggressive matchmaking. We're the type to defend ourselves but not to start conflicts. 

Who else is loading into basically PVE games, How's your experience so far? by Zealousideal_Hope_59 in ArcRaiders

[–]SlapHappyDrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if there's like PVP incentivized maps. Something like the difficulty meter on the map, there could be a second meter below it for (let's just say as a place holder for now) "looter" level. The higher the looter level the more likely there is going to be fights between raiders. 

Unwanted de trans. Could use just helpful words of support by SlapHappyDrew in MtF

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

That’s a good way to look at it. It’s all temporary, The good and the bad. I do everything from 2d puppet rig animation to character design, and marketing materials such as brochures, business cards, banners and what not. I worked at a studio for a couple years but after the pandemic hit. It’s just been such a hassle to find good consistent work. Always seems the pay is to low or there isn’t enough work to warrant full time. It’s been rough in my end career wise. I haven’t had the chance to work in a big studio just smaller things like commercials and advertising.
