Stop showering. Really stink yourself up. Make it so bad they have to mention it. When they do just tell them they smell just as bad and that you should both do something about it.

I’d love to know what percentage of the Earth’s population would be totally fine with an asteroid taking us all out. I’d be willing to bet it’s higher that it’s ever been.

So I joined Bluesky over a year ago and have only ever posted a single message “Hi”. I’ve also not liked or commented on any posts. Somehow (especially recently) I am getting followed more and more. I have over a hundred followers now. I’m guessing bots? It’s the sudden recent surge over the last couple of months that’s interesting.

This is why I say please and thank you when I use ChatGPT…

I think the thing that’s the most confusing about this is why did they wait??

"The timing is particularly baffling: Nintendo did not strike when the iron was hot and everyone was talking about Palworld and Pokémon, and at this late date, why bother? The greatest heights of Palworld’s success were clearly driven by the memetic catchiness of its Pokémon parody, now it’s just another survival crafting game with a stable enough core community⁠—see also Valheim or Sons of the Forest. Palword has faded into the background, a brief curiosity overshadowed by 2024’s far more enduring megahit, Helldivers 2. Just in time for everyone to have largely forgotten about Palworld and moved on, Nintendo has swooped in to announce: “In case you’ve forgotten, they’re the little guy, and we are huge, awful bullies.”

Palworld has reportedly made nearly $500 million now (source - Simon Carless). Even if Nintendo win in some way won’t it cost them so much more to take Pocket Pair down now?

Thanks for that. I might give it another go. I have ADHD and I wonder if that also doesn’t help because remembering a lot of names and details is hard for me. My short term memory is really only reliable until I see any random shiny thing. I tried using the evidence board to track literally everything I saw but it quickly became way too ovewhelming. I’ll give it another go though I think.

I really, really wanted to like this game. I love the look and feel of it so much but I just needed a clearer bit of hand holding to figure out what I was supposed to do. It’s so open ended and I could never really tell if I was on the right track. I love the idea of crawling through vents, interrogating people, sneaking about and putting together pieces of evidence but it was just too overwhelming for me. I wish there was a guide that just explained simply how you’re supposed to play but I haven’t found one yet.

For me it’s coffee + environment. If I’m just at home chilling then the effect of drinking coffee is very mild. If I’m at a business networking event, for example, it can really trigger my hyper behaviours. I get extremely enthusiastic, creative and happy.

By the way, one of these business networking meetings I go to is exclusively for business owners with ADHD and I can’t tell you how much fun that is!

It’s basically 15 people happily talking over each other and not taking it personally and 5 or 6 who didn’t turn up because they thought it was another day. We have one neurotypical person there to try and tether the ballons that we are down into some sort of coherent group but it is wonderfully chaotic :)
