My friend said “I am gonna make a meme out of this” while he was snapping the
photo of my setup that he texted to me. Don’t know what that means, but that is
what friends are for I suppose, love and mysteries!
People get upset at me for saying sorry all the time

People get upset at me for saying sorry all the time - Lemmy.World
What hurts is that people treat it like I am doing this obsessive, unnecessary
thing when in reality the amount I say sorry is perfectly tailored to the amount
that I am randomly (random only from my perspective of course) pissing people
off all the time around me with my actions. Which in practice means I say sorry
all the fucking time. Those same people that tell me not to say sorry I have
pushed to the edge of their tolerance of me many times, and the ONLY thing I can
do in those situations is say sorry in a genuine way. Of course, the ones that
love me always return to their more patient selves and apologize for getting
frustrated with me to an extreme, but apologies mean nothing to the memory in my
body of feeling like I am always sliding towards seriously aggravating someone
and hurting my relationship with them. Further it is only a learned, constant
input of willpower and constant attentiveness that keeps me from blowing past
people’s threshold of patience for me in moment to moment interaction but also
in broader life interactions and choices. Saying sorry a lot is my way of double
checking my social awareness and making sure I am not missing the fact that now
I am just yelling at everybody for no reason because I am excited about the
conversation or something. When people react with “hey, stop saying sorry!” the
consequences are they are mildly annoyed at being asked the question, but when
it opens up a conversation about something I have been doing that is genuinely
annoying people around me it can often be the ONLY thing that saves me and
others from a lot of unnecessary suffering. The world is going to have to become
a hell of a lot more accommodating and accepting of ADHD before I stop saying
“Sorry!” all the time and it is frustrating that people get upset at me for
using a perfectly rational coping strategy in a society extremely hostile to my
disability. Its like, people don’t want to see the amount of effort I have to
put into not being a burden on others because it stresses them out and feels
like a broken record…but that is exactly what it is.
Schmidt Ocean Institute ROV Dive Livestreams

Schmidt Ocean Institute ROV Dive Livestreams - Lemmy.World
Undoubtedly sending robots to the bottom of the ocean just to see what the hell
is there is cool no matter how you slice the pie, but Schmidt Ocean Institute
livestreams the entirety of their dives (like 8 hours long or so) which brings
things to another level for chumps like us who don’t have some ridiculous dream
job of participating in scientific dives with magnificent undersea exploration
vehicles. It genuinely makes for the best background TV material I have ever
seen. The firehouse of strange creatures they encounter that stretch your mind’s
capacity to comprehend the strange and unknown is balanced perfectly by the
simple physical comedy of watching ROV operators play an extreme version of the
arcade claw game 3000m below the sea when they are attempting to take samples of
sea life and store it in sample bins. A lot of times a scientist is actively
narrating what is happening to the stream but even when they aren’t the control
room is usually mic’s and at any one time always features a multidisciplinary
cross-section of scientists. Check it out, put it on as a background at a party
it makes great viewing in a casual party setting where people can engage and
disengage whenever they want while talking about the weird creatures and
laughing about the ROV claw totally failing to grab a coral and horribly
snapping it in half.
Halo infinite is the best free to play fps multiplayer game that runs well on the steam deck

Halo infinite is the best free to play fps multiplayer game that runs well on the steam deck - Lemmy.World
Yeah, it used to suck. You can play halo infinite VERY competitively with
joysticks and gyro too, it feels made for steamdeck controls especially with the
heavy focus on (absolutely amazing) vehicle combat. A month ago or so it was
crashing really regularly on me, but now it seems to be working fine. I can
easily get a steady ~50fps with the graphics all the way down. Yeah, the
graphics don’t look amazing on low and there are weird graphical artifacts
sometimes but it is far from ugly and the core halo gameplay is just so well
balanced at the moment that who cares how it looks when it plays like that.
DayZ runs extremely well on the Steam Deck for some insane reason

DayZ runs extremely well on the Steam Deck for some insane reason - Lemmy.World
I don’t get it but for some reason the 3d open world multiplayer shooter with
vehicles and long view distances that runs the best on the steam deck (other
than a very graphically simple game like battlebit) is DayZ. I obviously haven’t
tried every game out there though… On the V++ deathmatch server (using steamdeck
screen not higher resolution monitor) I can be in the middle of a firefight with
20+ people nearby and get a stable 50fps. For DayZ that is basically the most
challenging it gets for game performance, in the normal game having 20+ people
nearby has to be an extremely rare situation I imagine. Yeah you have to turn
the graphics down but you really don’t have to sacrifice view distance and the
game looks fine on lower graphics. Unfortunately the game does crash randomly
every once in awhile, I can’t figure out why yet but I am playing on heavily
modded servers and honestly the performance is SO MUCH better than any other
open world multiplayer shooter like this that I don’t really feel like I can
even complain much. Interestingly the engine DayZ was made off of, Arma 3, runs
much worse. I guess you can get Arma 3 to play ok offline (it looks like crap
after you turn everything down though) but in multiplayer forget it. Give it a
try! Yeah yeah… mouse and keyboard players are gods of aim blah blah blah, you
can compete fine with joysticks + gyro if you take the time to get acclimated to
it. Go play a deathmatch server an mess around until you feel comfortable.
