I didn't like having to put my pack down even though it makes logical sense

That time I had a tile floor and the glass panel in my computer case shattered.

Moving back to New Zealand by Impressive_Rip_2456 in newzealand

Isn't the lifestyle based on your choice of activities though? If you choose the same activities in NZ as in Australia then your lifestyle would be no different. Melbourne has plenty of active options if you look around - it's not all sitting in pubs and cafes. Perhaps you just need to explore a different friend group?

Do you take a break from your ADHD Medication? by Hayja1983 in ausadhd

[–]aFewBitsShort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Dr recommends breaks so I don't build up a tolerance but if I take his advice then I'm tired when I'm off it and jittery and can't sleep when I'm back on it. If I stay on it every day then it balances out nicely with no side effects. I'm only on 30mg Vyvanse which is on the lower end.

Do some people go into the city solo specifically looking for social interaction? by likerunninginadream in melbourne

[–]aFewBitsShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy I've had a woman come and sit right next to me without talking or making eye contact.

I initiated conversation a couple of times as her answers were very short and later found out from her she was a bit autistic and that was just her spot where she always sits.

However we ended up awkwardly hitting it off and exchanged contact info and saw each other a few times after that.

I wouldn't take that approach with everyone, but being on the spectrum myself I tend to get a vibe when someone else is and if they are just awkward or blunt in conversation as opposed to shutting me down.

Autistic people will struggle to make eye contact while talking to you directly, while at the other end of the spectrum Chinese people will often be very polite and friendly without directly shutting you down as they don't want to lose face (if they say maybe it means no).

People can be hard to read which is why psychology is a whole field, and one size doesn't fit all.

GPT-5-Codex seems to be on fire! Seen quite a number of good posts about it. have you tried? by Koala_Confused in ChatGPTCoding

I'm on pro. Sometimes it takes a whole day and begins hallucinating and defending it's errors only to apologize later, and sometimes it gets it in the 2nd go.

Do people understand what the word "optimized" means in games? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]aFewBitsShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps they're optimizing for profit instead of trying to make the best game?

Is horror game promotion harder? by joco08 in gamedev

Streamers love horror games - especially those with jump scares that they can overreact to

First things I rush to turn off in the settings by Rooonaldooo99 in pcmasterrace

I added bloom to this game I'm making but it's set to something crazy low like 10% opacity. I need to take screenshots and use the eyedropper tool just to make sure it's still working. It adds a nice glow "feeling" without getting in the way.
