Sooo… you have any suggestions for how to choose a professional team?

Gosh, y’know, these days breathing gives you an achievement because gamers like to get achievements to have achievements. Why do gamers like to have achievements? Sense of pride and accomplishment, I suppose. And because I am very simple, I’m the same - I crave that dopamine of the li’l 🎶Di-Ding. And platinuming a game is of course more dopamine. It’s just very useless in most games, it’s nothing but a number somewhere in some statistics. Paradoxically, I think nobody needs achievements and I’m annoyed at how important they’ve become, and at the same time I’m disappointed if there are none.

Challenges that give me equipment that simply has some better stats are … well, challenging. Especially when I don’t get around to them until after I finish the story. That’s when I care the least about increasing my ice damage by 2 points.

Make me explore the world to find things, that’s my jam. Especially if the things I find add to the lore. … No I can’t think of any examples right now.

As far as I’m concerned, if you’re keeping me fed and the drinks coming, you’re doing well as a host.

So Big Brother then. With a theme.

I really wouldn’t want to impose my way of remembering stuff onto you. I’m still looking for any task list… thing… that really helps me stay on top of things, so just so you know: nothing else has hit the spot either.

Any notification that is trying to help me needs to be as annoying and intrusive as possible. I just found an app to remind me of my meds that does full phone screen notifications with very annoying sound that you cannot easily dismiss without telling the app when to remind you next and I love it. So that might serve as a benchmark. (If it makes my watch vibrate that’s a definite bonus)

But: Please don’t feel like you need to cater to my needs. I’m ADHD, I have special needs. Unless you’re developing an app for neurodivergent people, I’m not your target audience. L

Develop the thing you would use.

Nice!

Although, unfortunately, a problem immediately presents itself: no notifications. I’m assuming that’s at least very difficult to implement if you’re trying to make it system agnostic? I’m scatterbrained and WILL forget any tasks exist if they don’t pipe up every once in a while. So this doesn’t really work for me, sorry :(

Aw :(

I’m on a shitty Xiaomi Android, using Firefox, if that matters.

Ah shit, you called it pony. 👈🏻 You son of a bitch, I’m in.

Admittedly, I could be smarter and/or less sleep deprived, then maybe I wouldn’t be having trouble taking in all the technical information. So I’m not saying this is a bad article. But is there a thesis hidden somewhere (even a tl;dr, as the cool kids say)? I made it about half-way through without knowing what the actual problem is before I gave up (see above lack of smarts and sleep). I THINK it’s suboptimal audio quality? (Which, admittedly again, probability says it is, given this is about headphones)

tl;dr: me no brain good but me interested, eli5?

If nothing else, it’s “look at all these people using our services, that’s proof we’re awesome, even on the free tier, so imagine what you’ll get if you pay us!” ¯\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

Thank you for your concern.

This is still “you’re the minority, better follow the herd, just saying”.

Tech bros, for some reason always trying to use group pressure as a legitimate argument.

My self-talk has changed in tone since I got a diagnosis. It’s still not very gentle but it’s also not outright abusive anymore. It’s the difference between “you fucking lazy fuck, everybody else can do this, what is wrong with you?!” and “oh right, THAT’S wrong with you. right, okay, fine, find a different way. again. *eyeroll* sheesh…” That’s huge.

I figured OP wants the former and who am I to deny them?

What do you mean, “using AI”? Did you vibe-code? Does the AI help with journalling? If the latter: who wants that?

Yes, Daleks are not robots, they’re squishy tentacle space nazis inside mobile battle casing pepperpots that they call War Machines. The Terminator T1 however looks vaguely like such a pepperpot if you squint and are Doctor Who brained.

So they skipped the Dalek phase, huh?

I haven’t seen that type of response, at least not at any significant frequency, but let me speculate wildly while accepting your premise for the moment.

People in general are less mentally resilient than they were 6-10 years ago, what with The Everything And All That In The Everywhere At All Times. That might manifest in less patience and less willingness to indulge beginners. So I don’t think it’s a conscious thing meant to gatekeep anything, people just don’t have the capacities to explain things again and again in detail (especially when they think the answer is easily found using the search engine of your choice) and are more easily exasperated if things don’t go smoothly.

Again, this is all assuming your premise.
