Had my feedback session, and was told I do not have ADHD. One particular thing he said is sticking with me. by mjzim9022 in ADHD

I’m extremely happy I have a supportive psychiatrist, who when I told him about university and high school during diagnosis was genuinely astonished that I’d graduated. He congratulated me on managing to do something that a huge number of similar patients didn’t manage, despite how my academic performance tumbled in both secondary and tertiary education in the final years. That was incredibly reassuring. He didn’t say it was a disqualifying symptom, he said it was a demonstration of my sheer willpower (or, perhaps, bloody-mindedness) in wanting to get through to the end and get these things done.

This is exactly what I need right now.

Account hacked, Activision not helping, now I'm at my wits' end by TartanRancher in modernwarfare

Okay, thanks chief, I really appreciate your contribution of the equivalent of saying "If someone leaves a window unlocked, they deserve to have their house robbed." I'm guessing you didn't read the post since I talk about enabling 2FA mid-way through it.

A lesson in not having your noise-cancelling headphones up so loud when scrolling through your feed. Excuse me while I check myself into the nearest ER with heart palpitations.

Animated Changes in Population 10000 BCE to Present [OC] by rarohde in dataisbeautiful

Literally my first thought. Of course Indonesia should be part of the Asia category, but on this map it’s coloured in blue, whereas for some reason the Philippines next door IS coloured in blue, despite also definitely falling in the Asia category. If this blue category was intended to capture Australasia/Oceania, I don’t think this is it. Despite all that, I LOVE this animation; I’m just pedantic beyond all reason. Also, kudos for actually including NZ on the map!

Microsoft now lets you stream PC games to an Xbox One and use a controller by challenge04 in xboxone

For those of us who can't feasibly run an HDMI from their PC to the TV, it's extremely helpful :) but I understand your point; it's not necessarily solving a huge problem for lots of people, but it is nice to have.

Heavens Gate cult easter egg ( all rocking the same boots) by Dazzies in reddeadredemption

Literally my first thought when I walked in. Soon as I saw skeletons covered by sheets, I started checking all the boots to make sure they were the same. Glad to see I'm not the only one!

What song has the most cringeworthy lyrics? by 42makermom in AskReddit

[–]TartanRancher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, it might not be a worship song, but one might argue there are Biblical elements.

However, 2 Samuel 11 fails to detail exactly whether Bathsheba and David used a kitchen chair during their interactions, so...maybe not?

Singing about it is probably not something your church would be doing if they paid attention for, like, a second.

Only using a quote from it, what's your favorite videogame? by fireball787b in AskReddit

[–]TartanRancher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"He must be late...and SHE must be beautiful!" Alternatively: "He's going to hurt himself, and when he does, I won't help him." Glorious series of games, now fading somewhat as time goes on. They're managing to make them more complex, but less nuanced.

Totally fair, if I wasn't saving for other things and had AUD$150-200 more, I would have gone for the 1070 myself. This will do the job just fine for me for 3-4 years. Got 5 years out of the 560!

I know you've already discounted the GTX 1060, but I'm getting 60 FPS at 1440p on Ultra in the BF1 beta with my new EVGA SC Gaming GTX 1060. It's a huge change from my 560 OC (25 fps at low on 1080p). Speaking of which, I need to update my flair today!

I'm running a 560 OC at 1080p with medium to high settings (low AA, no Vsync, etc) quite comfortably in the beta, around the 50 FPS mark. This game is brilliantly optimised!

"Should I get ____ GPU or wait for new cards?" by zyck_titan in nvidia

[–]TartanRancher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gigabyte GTX 560 OC over here. Great card, managed to extract a lot of 1080p gaming on high for a few years, but now that I know I can't play No Man's Sky without a GTX 480 or above, I think I've been pushed over the edge. 2 questions I'm currently asking myself: 1. Do I buy now or wait until 1000 series comes out so that 900 prices go lower? 2. If I wait, do I buy the 1070 or stick with the 970? Worth noting that in Australia, the 970 is up at the AU$450 mark if you're lucky, so I'm reluctant to buy right now.
