I don’t have similar symptoms but medication effects can really vary between people. It’s best to talk to your medical provider to try other options or dosages.

For me, vyvanse really only gives me reduced appetite and slightly increased heart rate, though at higher doses it keeps me up at night no matter when I took it. Lower dose fixed that while remaining effective.

Yeah, I’m lucky enough that mine is only really debilitating for study so I didn’t have an issue not taking my meds for the trip. Really feel for you. :(

They get paid for their work, obviously, but often a significant portion of their ongoing pay is based on soundtrack sales, whether physical or digital.

For one example, you can look into how Id screwed over Mick Gordon with the doom eternal OST, but it’s a long and frustrating read.

You don’t know shit about how remuneration for composers works, huh.

I would consider selling something like a soundtrack acceptable but no game content dlc, absolutely.

I’ve warned basically everyone to temper their expectations with palword cause I played their previous game which absolutely is just a janky ass asset flip, but palworld is actually slightly more competent and has been a bit enjoyable. Despite the crap with the differences between steam and game pass versions, I mean.

The discourse around the game has been baffling. First of all, anyone bringing up AI… Like… What? I’m not sure what they think current AI models do. And even the criticisms I agree with - some of the designs are straight up just the bottom half of one pokemon with the top half of another - are absolutely demented. I saw a long thread talking about certain pals and what pokemon they were ripping off and a good portion of them were wrong (it was ripping off a totally different pokemon) or not knowing about the base (usually Japanese) thing that both designs were based off of. Some people have just gone absolutely fucking rabid. I don’t understand how they live like this.

Fucks up what I expect the arrow keys to do in Excel is what.

Personally, I blame the government.

If you look at it from a deterministic perspective, they had no choice but to post that.

I’m on vyvanse, and I’ll frequently forget to eat. Setting reminders or alarms really helps. I outsource a lot of my memory to my phone and smartwatch. Sometimes I will just have nothing but a couple of lattes and then notice it’s 10pm and I haven’t eaten a proper meal. At least theres energy there from the full cream milk, but still, not good…

Just don’t forget how effective the meds are, especially if you’re prone to depression. I once stopped taking them when I was majorly depressed, and sometime after that I was helping my dad at his workplace, digitising records for him. I found some of my old Ritalin (not expired yet) and decided to try it again, and the difference in how many records I got to was like night and day, it was seriously like 5× the amount. Since then I’ve bounced around a few different meds and dosages before recently settling on vyvanse, which has the strongest effect but least side effects of them all for me. Ritalin was probably the strongest but had the most unpleasant side effects for me.

You’re right, we should let these vile scammers prey on vulnerable people when they’re at their most hopeless. They don’t deserve their money! They won’t have any use for it!

I find using a timer on a smart watch or yelling at a voice assistant works for keeping me on task.

If I dont… Well, the other day I found some cold cinnamon donuts I had been heating up in the air fryer.

Directly on the watch: timers, alarms. Via the watch: calendar events and the like whose notifications get picked up by the watch. Have to be proactive about blocking useless notifications though.

I have an Android phone and a galaxy watch 4, not sure how equivalents work on Apple.

Yeah, but I use YouTube a hell of a lot more, and also I don’t pay in USD.

I was planning to change my sub recently with a VPN but then I realised I already have YouTube premium and YouTube music already has everything I listen to, so I just cancelled.

Nice of them to fully cement my decision.

The only way I’m able to get anything done is by externalising my memory. I just make sure I have reminders on a smartwatch so that they forcibly are brought to my attention even if I’m away from my PC/phone.
