Jack of random trades at random times that randomly catch my interest for a random amount of time.

  • Ahh, I'll have to give it another try. My first attempt was years and years back. I was trying out different MOBAs at the time, like Heroes of the Storm and Heroes of Newerth.

  • Yeah, the Steam Deck launched at a loss to the company, with the business model that the income would come from the influx of Steam users buying games. It was a very well executed business plan that was fair to all involved. I just don't want to see what happens when Gabe is no longer president of the company...

  • I have insomnia. I sleep 4 hours at a time most days. Every tiny noise wakes me. Every bump my apartment neighbors make gives me heart palpitations. I can't even sleep with my partner's light snoring some nights. I can't keep a normal sleep schedule. I know what I'm talking about.

    There are nights and days I can't sleep at all. The anxiety then builds and I can't sleep because now I'm way too past tired to be tired. Everything trembles in my vision and I see weird diagonal static everywhere I look. Light becomes too much for me to even bear and the migraines become intense.

    And you know? I don't take it out on my partner. I worked with my doctor to fix it. Was the answer prescription drugs? Yes. It had to be. Nothing else would work. Dyphenhydramine sets off my RLS and SSRIs set off RLS in my arms for some reason.

    I wouldn't have fucking weighed in if I didn't know what I was talking about. Step off with your assumption crap.

    Edit: I'll keep the original message, but after reading it I realized I got way too heated and I want to apologize. As someone with severe anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia I just felt slighted. You didn't realize that I could have insomnia. I'm sorry for lashing out at you.

    I just know the hell of insomnia all too well. I go down rabbit holes of anxiety and feel the pain of material existence on a daily basis. In order to sleep, I need to armor up, grab a sword, and prepare to fight a goddamn dragon some days, but I'll be damned if I let it control my life and my relationship.

    Wow is one of the more community-supported games. I had battlenet and D3 working just fine. Grab Lutris and follow these instructions, you should be good. There are a lot of guides that show you how to get addons working, as well.

    It runs just as fine as on Windows. Last I heard, the only thing that doesn't work is raytracing. So unless that's a deal-breaker for you, you should have no trouble running it.

  • That's another hard one to kick. I never played, myself, but I remember Counter-Strike was huge when I was in school. The after school CS LAN parties in the computer lab were huge. A lost era now. But before that was CoD LAN parties.

    I went to them, but usually just to get the massive music libraries people had up for share. I think a friend of mine had almost 60gb in music and that was back when ~100gb HDDs were some of the largest you could get... Luckily I had frankenstein'd the first 100gb drive from my mom's old PC and put it in mine, so I managed to get it all. I think I still have the music on my old E-Machines. I should probably get it.

    Whoa, I went off track down memory lane. Sorry about that, lol.

  • I did. I checked out a lot of MD note takers, including Si Yuan, Logseq, and Joplin. But I always miss my plugins and CSS snippets. I think I'd have to take a look at Neovim for notes, honestly. It's insanely malleable and probably has even more plugins than Obsidian.

  • I haven't tried in a long time, tbh. And I think I tried DotA 2, so that may have been the problem...

  • I did try to get into DotA once, but trying to queue in for a game at early levels is a hell of a long wait. I might pick up Smite again. Though I think Smite 2 is out or coming out soon?

  • It used to be. Riot added a kernel-level anti cheat called Vanguard. Almost a year ago now I think? But yeah, that shut down League of Linux and it will remain that way unless Microsoft stops allowing kernel access, which they hinted at but I'm not holding my breath for it.

  • Thank you. It only took 18 years to come back to it, lol. But Linux fascinates me, tbh. It felt really strange at first, but after about a year it feels like home.

  • I have a friend who does dev work and swears by Apple, but he does use Linux on the side as his main machine. Ever thought of diving into NixOS? I've used it for a few months and really enjoyed it once I could read and write nixlang.

    I don't dev that much, but apparently it can run reproducible environments for nearly every OS and you can have multiple environments via flakes. Need one for Golang? Need one for React? It can do it. You can even access it from your mac. I don't know much about that side of it, though, just that it can.

  • Neovim is my poison of choice, as well. I never thought to use it like that, though! Even though its not open source, I can't stop using Obsidian for notes and prose, unfortunately. I just like it too much. But my novels are all written through novelWriter, which is an amazing application and has a package for every distro, afaik (Fedora was the last, but it was just added 3 weeks ago).

  • Yeah, I hear you there. I have pretty much every Brand and Vlad skin and a skin or two for almost all champs. I have so much blue dust that I'll never need to buy a champ again even if I never broke down anything from now on.

    The itch to play hits hard every now and then, but its getting less and less. Especially now that every new champ is just 2-3 different champs sewn together.

    Its a disease and I'm glad I'm out of it. Now if I could stop blowing cash on PoE MTX...

  • Lol, its just my manga/anime apps. You can still find some of the repositories on github, but they moved all updates to TG. They also request users to not put the app name on any social media to avoid what happened to Tachiyomi.

    There's a large sweep going on with anime piracy atm, too. Github has been obliterating apps left and right.

  • In that case, your partner should find a solution to their sleeping disorder. I can open chip bags, do dishes, drop things, watch TV and there's no issue if my partner is asleep. And our apartment is small. She is a deep sleeper though.

    I'm the light and agitated sleeper, actually. And instead of lashing out or pointing fingers, I got it addressed. Now on bad sleep nights I take two hydroxyzine for anxiety and light sleeplessness two hours before bed. I sleep so hard I tend to drool everywhere. Normally I'm a high anxiety jaw clencher when I sleep.

    I highly recommend looking into something like that. Hydroxyzine is a very light and harmless option. Its an antihistamine, which makes it good for allergies as well. Its basically a strong benadryl. There are some other benefits as well, like muscle relaxation, pain relief, nausea relief, and airway opening.

    As someone with ADHD and sleep trouble, it works good. Doctors are pretty relaxed about prescribing it, since its very high on the safety meter and non-habitual. Sorry for going off on a tangent, but it seems like your partner could have a slight sleep disorder, especially if its gone so far to put you both in separate rooms (if that is the case).

  • I would also like to add that if the newest Proton version doesn't work for a newer game, you should grab ProtonUp-QT. Sometimes GEProton will work or else come out with support faster than official channels.

  • The real question is, do they HAVE to be there for them to go to sleep? Because if they needed to sleep, what stopped them? Sounds to me like there's a sleeping problem here and that's not OP's fault.

    I don't see any way that OP messed with their sleep. A simple "I'm going to bed, try not to be too loud when you come home." would have done wonders. Then OP could chat, come home, do whatever chores quietly, and go to bed.

    Whether you have a job or not does not relate to what privileges of freedom you get.

  • I really don't think its your ADHD here. I have it bad. My partner lets me get on with it and goes to bed whenever she wants. We also split chores based on our schedule and to account for my ADHD she got us a whiteboard, because my greatest super power is to get absorbed in something and forget everything. Your partner could have taken the chores that night so you could do what you needed to get help for yourself.

    My last relationship was a "need to be in bed at the same time" relationship. I remember when I worked nights and had a night off. We got into a huge fight which culminated into me going to lay down on the couch instead of next to her like she wanted. She then came out of the room and beat me around the head with a metal katana sheath (so hard that it dented).

    This is a less of your ADHD problem and more of a "you guys need your own schedule and space" problem. You should iron out this attached-at-the-hip thing first. It's cute in the beginning of a relationship, but can ultimately end it in a very ugly way. It will lead to insecurity and turn into a relationship of need and envy. You gotta learn to exist alongside each other, not be one entity (despite what marriage and religion tries to tell you).

    I've had two relationships. One for 7 years where we had to do everything together or else had to check in via text. That ended in both of us fighting and cheating (both sides) and never talking again. The second is a quiet coexistence. We can tell each what we're going to do with an open invitation. Sometimes we do it together, sometimes we want to do something else. That relationship is on 13 years and counting. We RARELY go to bed at the same time or wait up.

    Sit down together and apologize for the belittling things you said. Explain what you have written here to them. These are words they need to hear. And then address the problem of not being able to do things like sleeping without one another. If they wanted to go to bed at 9:30, they should have been able to do so.
