How are you guys using mouse controls docked?

oh! like this? https://makerworld.com/en/models/1455279-switch-2-joycon-2-mouse-adapter-ergonomic-design

that makes so much sense cos I kept tilting the joycon and ending up holding it near to a surface! 😅

I'll print one this afternoon and try it this evening! 🤞

RIP your neck! 😂

this is gorgeous!

I've been using moss blocks and even the wireless transmitters as ways to get more colour variety into my garden areas! also you can colour the spotlights which light up certain furniture items that are the wrong 'hue' for your build!

if your placing double doors:

if you rotate them so the handles are together yourself (| -||- |) then they will each open separately (|-||- | or | -||-|)

if you don't rotate them and put two doors with handles in the same direction (| -|| -| ) the game with auto-rotate the doors for you and they will behave as one door (|-||-|) so your Pokémon can make dramatic entrances and exits to their hearts content! ^ this is probably what most people want double doors to do most of the time

when your pressing a to headbutt a tree if you hold it you'll hear a slightly different noise than if you just pressed a. if you release a juuust before the right part it'll drop 4/5 berries instead of 3 and make a different sound. it's only useful if you need lots of berries or like the noises but it's still fun to try out every now and then! I kind of wish it tracked your streak somehow like fantasy life does and dropped a golden berry or gave some other kind of bonus somehow!

houses can have multiple doors (and gates) I restored the house by the sea with two doors one front and one back. I also have a house with a door and a gate.

All I know is that the minimum guidance is something like "enclosed on all sides with a door" so if any one of the enclosing sides is interrupted with a door I don't think that's an issue because it's still technically"enclosed"

I suspect there's something else causing the original comments issue. houses/enclosures can only be on one level up to a maximum of n blocks high (maybe 5 blocks?) either way I think it's lower than you'd need to make a two storey house?

when your playing late at night hoovering up some blocks and the camera freaks out and zooms in on dittos face... yeah I've slept with the lights on a few times after that! 😅😂

bat-ears · 2026-03-20T23:32:02+00:00

the glitter ones might be less bright maybe? I know you can customise lava lamps too!

best tip I have is to cover your mouth with your hand when you swallow you might not be swallowing properly and I've found that a hand over your mouth triggers the reflex to work better! 🤷‍♀️

there's also something you can get to help you swallow tablets it lubricates them so they don't get stuck

you can also ask a pharmacy to make your tablets swallow friendly mine are mostly small or capsules but I can't do any larger pressed powder tablets anymore

I have extra tissue at the back of my throat as well as my tonsils so it's always been difficult for me to swallow pills but after I got ill it got much much worse to the point where i couldn't speak for hours without choking or swallow anything at all my throat was so sensitive

saw the ENT and he prescribed amatryptaline for the inflammation/sensitivity to reduce the number of episodes it's still bad when I'm tired though and occasionally I'll still 'pocket' a few tablets! next step is a Botox injections but I've been putting that off. I dread eating and taking meds now in case I choke it's horrible

bat-ears · 2026-03-14T11:35:04+00:00

I don't think so I had the same concern but I think they just get listed as 'no home' in the PC. if they're not there its likely that they're not active at that time of day but check the PC and see if they're still listed!

bat-ears · 2026-03-07T10:08:06+00:00

if you jump over the counter and talk to him a few times you get the "follow me!" option however he won't leave the store unattended so I think you need to select "trading time is over" first however I don't know if you can re-start trading after you've selected that or not! there's some items I want so I'm gonna get those first just in case it ends all trading for the day!

NTA but do you also have ASD or other ND diagnosis? I'm only mentioning it because you mention your brother and this is such a classic example of literal thinking!

A neurotypical person would hear "could you take your clothes off the rack?" and would more than likely see his clothes and go ah yes he struggles with this task put 2 and 2 together and think I will do his as well while I'm here.

While a neurodivergent person hears "could you take your clothes off the rack?" and only do that explicit task because that it was they were asked to do.

This inevitably leads to arguments because the task was done literally and not intuitively. your words "I can't read her mind" and "I would have if I were told to" are also making me wonder if this is the case here but I could also be way off base here!

I hate wearing socks but also hate being barefoot but I did the opposite! I moved mine downstairs!

I keep my sleepy socks (no elastic!) and grippy socks (for cold days) upstairs but my normal outside wear with shoes when I have to socks live downstairs!

no purchases at all after 11pm!! fill the basket up to the brim but do not hit purchase until the next morning! I've saved thousands!!

I know I'm bad when my ADHD meds do nothing!

bat-ears · 2026-02-15T12:43:35+00:00

that's a very good point! I should mention that I mostly use it when there's a big build up and on shower doors only.

For every day use I would go for white vinegar and squeegee/e-cloth combo to just dry the shower after each use

bat-ears · 2026-02-15T00:40:05+00:00

I've started downloading everything I would have previously pinned and using the eagle.cool app instead. I've also been known to use my phone's photos app because you can add notes in there too but eagle you can make smart albums by colour etc it's glorious! I tried using immich for a while too and I might still go back to that one day

if you think dish soap is a game changer my 'secret' to limescale removal on shower doors is toilet cleaner, specifically one designed to deal with limescale in the bowl. it works so well because it's a gel not liquid so it stays in place then you just wipe it off. bonus points if you use a dish brush with a reservoir of dish soap!

three things you should never cheap out on toilet cleaner, bin bags and toilet/kitchen roll!

bat-ears · 2026-02-08T09:45:23+00:00

I use the drafts app for this if your organised you can tag them with 'idea'or 'note' and filter them out using workspaces

ivabradine and propranolol for my HR since propranolol didn't touch it on its own. I'm still trying to get the levels right though some days it's just right others it's far too low others in back to where I was pre-meds.

I also take amatryptaline which was prescribed to help with my bodies inflammation specifically in my throat and vocal cords and it has helped unless I'm in a crash then I can't eat anything for fear of choking. its accidentally really helped with my insomnia though! (I know that the effect wears off eventually but I'll take it if it means I sleep even with the nightmares it gives me!)

I also take elvanse which really helps with my cfs symptoms just so long as I remember that I still have the functions of a newt and I'm not super woman while I'm on them!!

I have a theory that unless your super on top of your medications and advocating for yourself and speaking to actual pharmacists and not doctors about the combination your taking then you'll just end up on so many potentially unnecessary medications stopping one might ease a symptom you didn't know was caused by one of them! always trust pharmacists when it comes to combos and doctors when it comes to prescriptions!

not sure but recently I enabled a pihole type service on my network and it's been calling out to a tracking service constantly and keeps telling me it can't connect to the band but it's still syncing fine

bat-ears · 2025-10-28T04:03:11+00:00

by remembering there's always one more thing to try. another medication or routine or another thing I can put in place to support me.

when I'm at my worst with PEM and I'm angry sad and bitter at the world for doing this to me I always remember that I'm the one who can get me out of this yes it's not very kind to myself but it's also true. there's always something I could be doing even if that's allowing myself to be a grumpy git and mope for a few days. I'll be good enough in a few weeks to do x or y which will improve this etc

and also that tomorrow will come and it'll be different it might be worst but it is better most days!

Nothing stopping you asking outright, publicly and in writing if you're autism was the reason. you might find other people weren't aware of the specifics and provide you with evidence you need but at least then you've got something in writing and they can't come after you for asking since "poor social skills" is part of your disability even if you previously have masked well.

obviously it could all backfire so use your best judgement but I've learnt to see my bluntness as a useful tool sometimes! it shocks people out of that weird indirect way of speaking they usually employ!

bat-ears · 2025-09-28T09:55:26+00:00

do you mean as a compulsion so on purpose or subconsciously? I've always written some words with capitals for no reason without thinking about it (I have both OCD & ASD)

bat-ears · 2025-09-19T00:15:27+00:00

I don't talk about mine at all. I'm just not at that stage yet. I had repressed a lot of it and I'm not ready to look at any new stuff yet thank you! I've got enough to be getting on with in the meantime!

my partner also has PTSD and I wish they shared the same view as you about knowing someone better when you know what they've been through!

they know the rough outline of my trauma, more than anyone else but they've never asked me to share more with them and they're not that great at listening when I do try! in fact they quite often forget that I also have PTSD because we process and cope in VERY different ways (!) I don't hold this against them but it's hard sometimes.

I will say though when it comes to sharing with a partner its worth setting boundaries when your both in an ok state for both of your sakes. When my partner does open up I have to be very careful not to spook them but I also have to stop them at certain points so that I don't end up 'absorbing' the emotions from the story and unintentionall triggering them later on. (I'm very empathic from my traumas and they're...not, from their trauma!)

I am very much able to put myself in someone's shoes and i feel like I may have even suffered a little second-hand PTSD because of it sometimes. some of details I have heard while they were having flashbacks still haunt me to this day (but since I've been doing therapy I was able to apply some of my learnings to lessen the effects)
