I brought an excel sheet with color coded cells and tons of notes to my GP when we were trying different meds. Seemed like overkill but I know from experience if I was having a bad day I'd feel like the meds never worked, and if I was having a good day I'd feel like they always worked every time, no side effects.
I also started carrying around a notebook I use for everything, and one of those things is keeping a page for a running list if I think of something I want to talk to my doctor about (I have this type of list for all kinds of stuff, and just carry the notebook everywhere)
The track pads are phenomenal for any game that doesn't have great built in controller support. I use them for mouse input on games like FTL, and they are much more accurate for aiming in FPS games than emulating a mouse on a stick. I also use them as radial menus for expanded controls on games like Elite Dangerous that really need more buttons than a controller has.
I agree with your point in general, and SteamOS was the main thing that pushed me towards steam deck over other handhelds with better specs. Now that I've used it though, it would be hard to give up the trackpads if the other options dont have the same quality. My hope is that 3rd party devices will basically mirror the steam controller setup, since the SteamOS controller mapping and provided layouts are a huge part of why so many games work on the platform even without official controller support. It's not just the hardware or the software but how well they work together.
Morrowind is the best. Oblivion remaster is better than skyrim (in my Morrowboomer opinion) and that was just refreshing a 20 year old game. I feel like there is a lot of hype for TES6 that it may not live up to, but surpassing skyrim is definitely doable.
I have a Lenovo 2 in 1 tablet laptop and it works OK. I am running Debian with KDE Plasma and it has been a little flaky with the automatic screen rotation and sometimes i have to toggle it on and off to get it to kick in but that's it. Not sure if that's something that would be fixed on different distros or DEs.
I didn't have to do any extra 3rd party driver setup or anything like that.
The touch screen itself works great. I have used tablet mode mostly for reading RPG source books that I only have PDFs of. Works great for that.
What about the people on the group chat who were disrespecting other people's right to privacy by sharing private mesaages and pictures? It's cool when they do it?
I gave up prepping "main quest" stuff when my players wanted to find out more about some curse affecting them, and decided the most logical thing to do is kidnap the head of their religion (who one of the players directly reports to), interrogate him, and hold him hostage. Instead of, you know, asking 😅
They eventually backed off of that plan due to concerns of some other PCs, but it was pretty close
As long as you write it down! I have frequently had Very Important Thoughts™ that I was sure were important enough to not forget, only to wake with a vague sense of urgency about nothing in particular.
Time is fake anyway. Other than the broad categories of morning, afternoon, night. All of that hours and minutes garbage was made up to increase human suffering
I keep a pocket notebook with me at all times and use a kind of bullet journal lite method to keep track of stuff. This happens to me a lot, but if I just write down the thing, knowing I have a process to make sure I'll actually read that note later (that's the hard part) let's me get that thing off of my mind and prevents me from losing hours of sleep to an ADHD "this'll just take a minute" hyperfocus trap.
That being said, I teleported from 8:45pm to 10:45pm last night (much to the annoyance of my poor wife) just tinkering with a couple of things on my 3d printer, and also forgot to eat dinner. So it's not a perfect solution 😅
Pretty much every day. I think it's because we have a limited capacity and for many of us our job requires us to mask to some degree and it just takes all of our energy, even if it isn't physically or even intellectually demanding. There's no reason I should feel completely drained and demotivated by just sending emails, but it is what it is.
I try to go somewhere quiet and lay on the floor or something. Or literally touch grass - get feet in the dirt, listen to the wind in the trees, that sort of thing. And stay away from screens for a bit. I'm still trying to find ways to help regulate my nervous system since I need different things on different days but those are some of the most effective for me.
Putting stuff away is the worst part, especially if you have to air out wet tarps
