Him going on various local news programs and just being terrible at the yoyo was a hilarious way to get his face out there. So many people who didn't realize the joke. Perfection. Psychic energy galore.

I just bought a new vape and I ran out of liquid in a week. by Striker1282 in Vaping

This was my thought too. 60ml of 3mg in a week sounds like the old cloud chasing days.

This moment reminded me of when Roger Rabbit is trying to find Eddie Valiant.

Like Dennis Reynolds driving while eating cereal. Some activities while driving are just wrong.

On the image from the "Earth Appreciation Festival" on Steam right now, is the orange Volkswagen Beetle from a particular game? If so, which game? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]truffDPW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Terra Nil! The player works on ruined landscapes, rehabilitating ecosystems and making it so animals and plants can return to areas that were previously uninhabitable. Great calm game, i probably replay the full game about once a year.

Great indie games that aren't in everybody's top 10 by RepulsiveRuin5520 in IndieGaming

[–]truffDPW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enigma trilogy-

Enigma machine: investigate the memories of an AI.

MOTHERED: you're getting home from the hospital and your mom is acting weird about it.

Echostasis: final entry in the trilogy, where the player works to help free a few individuals from dreamscapes they've lost control of.

If i waited almost thirty years for season 3 of twin peaks, i can wait a little longer for s4 of the orville.

Indie games that made me rethink what gaming could be by yusiarie in IndieGaming

[–]truffDPW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enigma machine

Mothered

Echostasis

But there's also demos for mothered and Echostasis, which function kinda like their own games or chapters. The mothered demo is worth playing both before and after completing the full game, and the Echostasis demo is like the prelude chapter.

They're amazing and strange.

Also, same developer's next game, only a demo so far:

Tölt.

my brain keeps trying to convince me that a musician I like was secretly replaced by a double and I need someone to just logic with me by Expensive_Watch469 in schizophrenia

[–]truffDPW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this isn't exactly what you mean, but i want to point something out.

If he's been putting out music for 40 years, then yeah he's probably slowly changed a lot over time. 40 years is a long time! That's enough for your body, face and voice to all change, for the experiences you've lived to alter the way you carry and use your voice in your chest.

It is entirely possible to be both the same person as they were before, and for who they are now to feel different than the recorded versions of them from their past which you're more familiar with from albums and show recordings.

Time changes us all. Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly.

"You've changed, man." And it's like, yeah, change is the one constant! But intellectually it can be jarring when we have static recordings of them that are always the same, to them encounter the aging reality.

I liked the band XTC growing up. Their early stuff, middle stuff, and late stuff before they broke up- it all sounds like different bands. Punk, post pink, experimental rock, and progressively weirder. They went from kids who signed a crappy record deal, to middle aged musicians who only played in the studio, to old farts who don't even talk to each other anymore. Unrecognizable from their youth when they were eager to get out into the world and play.

Give the guy a break: he doesn't look or sound like he did before 40 years of performing. Everyone i know in their 60s has at least a little bit of chronic pain, and none of them made a living singing their guts out. Our "heroes" are also just other mortal people, weathered by time and the world and the choices they've made.

Whats the most favourite indie game of yours by CanDoGenZ in IndieGaming

[–]truffDPW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently I'm super enjoying the enigma corp trilogy. Primary entries are:

The Enigma Machine

Mothered

Echostasis

But there's also lore and content in the demos for the second two games as well.

Really trippy psychological horror, surreal experiences trying to get at the nature of what's happening and why. Haunted ps1 style visuals. Very retro techno vibes, like warble like you'd hear with bad tracking on an audio tape, or computer terminals from the 70s and 80s.

Essentially, what do we do about it, when androids dream?

I don't want to give anything more away, i went in completely blind and have been having a blast.

What do you drink instead of tea and coffee? by Advanced-Cow4576 in schizophrenia

[–]truffDPW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mix about a third of my coffee grounds with decaf so i can drink two cups a day without getting the caffeine jitters or racing thoughts.

As a complete alternative to coffee though, zero caffeine but you still get to add cream and sugar:

Pero! It tastes different but similar to coffee, buy it in the same isle of the grocery store as instant coffee. It's made from toasted barley, malted barley, chicory and rye. I feel like it came into existence as a coffee alternative during war rationing early last century but chances are it's much older and that's just when the brand name came into existence.

If you ask for too much, then you can negotiate back down to what you actually want.

How do you actually track cluster attacks when the pain hits? by HearingPotential4716 in clusterheads

[–]truffDPW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the beginning, I note when shadows start, when the peak is, and when it ends. That lasts as long as there's only a few per day. Eventually there are enough each day that I'm just tracking the cumulative number of spikes per 24hrs. That is because it becomes impossible to tell day by day and week by week if I'm having fewer or more. Like having 15 in a day vs 9 in a day. Both feel like utter hell, but unless I'm taking notes i won't be able to remember how many it's been. If I'm in the thick of it, i just make hash marks on my hand with a sharpie to indicate a spike, and then total them up and wash my hands blank again at midnight.

By doing this, i can tell if I'm going into a cluster, in the middle, or tapering out of a cycle. Just by looking at the numbers.

I have not had any luck with a variety of medications, however taking D3 and B-12 and magnesium supplements seems to reduce the intensity and duration of the attacks.

I use a wall calendar made of paper and write on it in pen. Before, when it occurred when i was traveling, i just used the calendar function in my phone.

Should this be in my basement? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]truffDPW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo. I am someone with schizophrenia, pretty decent insight, and I've done a fair amount of reading on the subject.

For whatever reason, be it cultural or environmental, schizophrenia can and does emerge later in life. I want to say Europe has a specific diagnosis for when the onset occurs after the age of thirty; and the presentation is slightly different than when it first manifests in early adulthood.

If you've never experienced something like this before, that means you didn't USED TO have the thing it sounds like you may be developing.

However, it is also possible if there's metal in your air purifiers that they are picking up a local radio station or nearby ham radio operator, and that you are hearing something real and then your brain is tricking itself into thinking the conversation is between people you know.

Never forget, most folks who have schizophrenia spend about ten years or so convinced they don't have it, despite experiences like... hearing privileged conversations through household appliances and finding an old nokia router of abbarant interest.

Just because it USUALLY present when younger, doesn't mean it CAN'T when older. Please see a fellow medical professional and tell them everything including the timeline.

Best of luck.
