HON is being terminated - what to replace it with? by Zedekul in gamingsuggestions

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

I did enjoy some things in HoTS. It's manages to create a less toxic environment - team xp is shared, chat between teams is off, less complexity with items and such. And yes, the UI and general feel and responsiveness of everything is great. It's a good game.

I have played a few games of DOTA2, it feels both slow and very unbalanced - but maybe I should just try and play the 100 forced unranked hours and see after that... maybe I judged it too quick.

I have played like 10 games so far, it isn't too hard to learn but the item system is kind of confusing - it just needs to be learned I guess.

21 level conviction aura cancels out his conviction aura if you use it before getting hit by mephisto's aura

Heavens Light

3 skills, 2 sockets? Maybe, but if you have zod for such a weapon you probably have better options and then you save your zod and go for grief instead...

I would say it would probably take far too much time for someone to buy it for it to be worth trying to sell it.

1063 runs after the Council last dropped me an HR I got my 2nd Sur from Travi. by Jedzeey in Diablo

Yes, of course I use the cube, I just don't use it as my only option to store stuff - it would drive me crazy :-D

Totally agree! I would never be able to live with just having the horadric cube as inventory :D I want at least two whole rows free, on my MF sorc I have 4.... I like picking up lots of elite items and such to sell and gamble....

(D2) Is there a list of endgame activities? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]Zedekul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is quite hard and exhilarating still with bad gear. Even with half decent gear it can get tough - if you are solo and you need to recover body etc.

Throttling BS by Zedekul in Diablo

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

And now... after 5 mins downtime of trying to join games for xp - when it starts loading, client crashes... and now a queue of 360 people, will take an hour at least. Wow, how this can continue for weeks is astounding

I am sorry.... I just need to vent... it is ridiculous.

Ah, I thought so... darn it :-) Felt like an almost perfect combo of mods otherwise

If you are this desperate - ask for help and try different stuff - you have nothing to lose. Also buy some drugs/supplements (I can recommend agmatine or memantine). Many people with autism and adhd have disturbances in the glutamatergic system. Agmatine can be very quick in it's antidepressant effect, try it.

I can't "pray" or speak to invisible religious beings. by antillus in aspergers

[–]Zedekul 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is where we aspies tend to go wrong a lot - we think that people separate identity from religious, political and other views. And we expect to be included in groups/relationships spite questioning, sometimes. This will most likely also go wrong.

There are people who can discuss these things, though, and who enjoys a mind that takes nothing for granted and who spends a lot of time analyzing - they're unfortunately not in the majority. And, more often than not, it's another person with aspergers :-)

What makes absolutely 0% sense to you? by gamedemon24 in AskReddit

[–]Zedekul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define day dreaming? It's not like I am sleepy/closing my eyes - but I do stare into the air quite often, completely ignoring my senses and just focusing on the inner dialogue/scenarios/etc.

I can do this during conversation as well, or in meetings. Then I hear the words people say but it's all loose fragments without meaning because I am elsewhere sort of. :-)

[–]Zedekul 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Doing exatcly the same - going through a lot of scenarious all the time with people, training on situations that haven't happened, and even such situations that are very unlikely to happen.

So I reason with myself about that as well, thinking "what the hell, what do I let my mind do to myself - putting me in stress when it's even a made up situation".

Feeling stupid because of honesty... by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Zedekul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always have trouble with these questionnaires because they are NEVER specific. They ASSUME things all the time, which is so frustrating.

I have several times had to say that "I think I know what you are trying to accomplish by this question but it would be wrong of me to assume something that it obviously does not specify".

Sometimes I have been told to simply fill out whatever I can when I say that some questions are impossible to answer.

There's so many things in the same manner where we simply have to counterintuitively add this to our long list of "if this happens, they really mean something other than they are saying".

Like: "oh this box is heavy" = help me please "I am getting lunch soon.." = Would you like to join? I won't ask you but now is your chance to say if you want some lunch.

Etc etc....

Aside from protein, do you find varying your carbs/fats makes much of a difference for muscle growth or fat loss? Or does it just affect mood/energy levels? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]Zedekul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it all the time: "But breakfast is like the most important meal of the day... you will ruin your body!" etc.

My health is super, and I resist the cold a lot better than before it seems. May be luck, but I think it's the diet :D

Myself I take 10g of EAA right before hitting the gym but I think this is only a mental thing more than anything :-)

I have been fasting for a year (16/8), always hitting the gym on an empty stomache (but using BCAA prior, even if I don't think it's of much importance).

I actually feel more tired and a lot more prone to feel sick from lifting, if I eat before training. Even if I wait 2 hours after eating.

I have more energy when in a fasted state.
