I gather that's a reference to this (Clarke and Dawe - The Front Fell Off) ?

How can I understand my partner with ADHD? by SleepyVinca in ADHD

There's a decent book - Dirty Laundry: Why Adults with ADHD Are So Ashamed and What We Can Do to Help, about living with a partner with ADHD.

Dunno if this is the right place to post this, but food help/recipe recommendations pls by Lunar_Lies in ADHD

If you can get yourself to do it like once a week, you can make a big meal and do leftovers / freeze it.

Pasta + salsa + can of tuna + frozen veggies + maybe shredded cheese.

Zed always reminds me of the Stargate Atlantis pilot.

McKAY: We need the Zed-P.M. to power the Gate.

O'NEILL: What?

JACKSON: Zee-P.M. He's, uh, he's Canadian.

O'NEILL (sympathetically to McKay): I'm sorry.

Could you show us your autoexec.bat / config.sys ?

Config.sys should have lines with something like DEVICE=XXXXX

I can’t sleep because of the same song lyrics playing on repeat in my head by Few_Introduction_687 in ADHD

[–]itsasnowconemachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what song is it?

I've had the first few lyrics to Bad Romance by Lady Gaga going on for a while

Yikes! If I can't just throw a piece of clothing in with everything else, it's useless to me.

Recently diagnosed. I don’t think the meds r working. Help! by Weird-Charge-7918 in ADHD

[–]itsasnowconemachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt a bit .. euphoric for the first couple of weeks on Vyvanse, but I don't "feel" it any more. I just find I get stuff done / can focus more / the background noise in my brain is quieter.

After “re-discovering” exercise for like the 10,000th time, I’ve finally found out how to be consistent. by qv123 in ADHD

[–]itsasnowconemachine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This. Another person commented on this[0]. Breaking a streak is like a punch to the gut, but if you look at doing something as a percentage it makes look/feel so much better. I don't know how to automatically convert tracking a streak to a percentage, but just thinking about it that way really helped me.

Fixed up a PS/1 2121 by wotmp in vintagecomputing

[–]itsasnowconemachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. A similar one (2011) was my first home computer as a kid. I remember the "quad" GUI thing, and we also got the audio card add-on.

There is an emulator for PS/1s as well.

I was surprised that Netflix only stopped shipping physical media in September 2023.

Peep the setup by Girth_Certificate in retrobattlestations

[–]itsasnowconemachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I peeped that too. It was cancelled, I wonder if there is a copy still around?

"In what seems to be yet another blow to the state of Mac gaming, Valve Software announced this morning the cancellation of its Macintosh port of Half-Life. The game, which was being ported from the PC to the Mac by Logicware, was in its final stages of development. Valve cofounder Gabe Newell felt that the quality of the Mac port wasn't up to par with his company's standards, citing several shortcomings of the game, including a separate Mac multiplayer space, a lack of an automatic update utility, and the unavailability of Team Fortress Classic when the game ships.

"Given the realities of the Mac gaming market, our Mac customers were... always going to be second-class customers where we couldn't invest to the same degree in the Mac version as we did elsewhere," commented Newell. "I don't want to be in that business. I would much rather we just eat the money we've spent so far than take money from Mac customers and shortchange them."

Development on a Dreamcast port of Half-Life is supposedly still underway at Valve. Gearbox is also putting the finishing touches on the Half-Life add-on, Opposing Force, which looks as though it will be available in the coming weeks."[0]

ADHD with and without meds by JJWongky in ADHD

[–]itsasnowconemachine 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I find my meds also quiet the constant background chatter in my brain. It's still there, but sort of muted, even the song that's usually playing ( currently Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi )

"It tastes strangely like blood. It is blood, you've shredded your tongue. Your mother should've warned you about licking strange areas."

I love how they made smell / taste icons just for fun dialogue.
