I think the occasional firefight between s'pht and UESC forces would create some liveliness, additionally acting as a much needed cover for runners seeking to salvage, like how the UESC sometimes act as a false flag to PVP-centric runners because they trigger birds, these fights could drive attention away from certain parts of the map. Tau Ceti feels...dead right now for the most part, give it life!

Hello!

I’m exploring ways of improving my connection for online play. the house is a bit tricky as it’s an older build, and despite being in the room above the one the router is in, I regularly get packet loss I have an avg ping time of 36ms to the servers I currently play on which seems acceptable. I suspect the mesh network is flicking between APs one of which is quite far, unfortunately being a family home I’m unable to move things around. I am unable to put in Ethernet but I was wondering about using an extra router with dhcp disabled, connected wired to the original router to act as a direct link from my PC to the router without sharing the mesh network. is this something that would help or are there other steps I can take to optimise the setup? I’m aware there are a lot of variables at play so feel free to fact find for any relevant info. My PC uses a WiFi 7 network card. I’m not sure if I can improve it from that end with a better network card or antenna.

I don't know if may here are disabled, or neurodivergent, but I tried posting this on the audhd sub and it got kinda brigaded as soon as someone mentioned the 'what about feminine perspective' and dominated the conversation when I was trying to focus on masculine one (since that's the experience that's most beneficial to me rn)

-anyway-

I'm curious if this affects many of you neurodivergent folks on here where executive dysfunction is concerned, most people here have probably been called lazy or many other derogatory things, obviously this is just ableism, however in my experience this is also further worsened by the projection of negative male stereotypes.

It prompts a lot of anxiety and self hatred personally which ironically feeds into the problem, as I can never reach the level of consistent productivity and agency that people seem to demand of me (demands definitely make it worse too, thanks PDA - pathological demand avoidance). It feels like these stereotypes act as a go ahead to hate and discriminate with maximum prejudice under the guise of social policing. I get the feeling masculinity, despite being a part of a core identity often from a young age, is treated as an elusive and easy to lose social status for others to beat you with for not conforming to rigidly, and as a social construct is fundamentally incompatible with neuro divergence as it completely invalidates the breadth of experience in pursuit of the ideal.

It feels really hard to talk about this stuff given the intrinsic sociological connection of masculine norms and absolute agency/productivity. Ive read a lot of posts on here regarding the stigmatisation of male issues and it seems a better fit.

I'm curious what others' experiences are on this who've lived with it so far.

It is my impression that empathy is at an all time low. Socially, individualism is increasingly pushed, at the level discourse is treating resources more and more scarce and thus attempting to evaluate the means of maintaining the status quo.

This results in things like mental health support, while advocated for is remarkably performative in most peoples lives. people - especially those who have not experienced it themselves - are incredibly skeptical of the burden mental illnesses like clinical depression and generalised anxiety disorder imposed by default on those afflicted with them.

Often resulting in increased isolation and scrutiny due to the lack of tangibility compared to a more physical, observable ailment like a broken bone. This scrutiny and in certain cultures a level of inherent emotional repression only serves to embed and worsen the disease through the inability to reach out without fear of scorn. Ignorant and judgemental attributions such as 'attention-seeking' are given to those who outwardly express their suffering, be it through conscious support-seeking, emotional displays in public or on social media or in extreme cases harm to themselves or others. It's a common sight that people only start to show empathy after someone has taken their own lives.

Think of the lives that could be saved if they were just believed sooner rather than belittled for inconveniencing those around them with something they struggle to manage or control in a way that maintains that frame of individuality?

In an age where healthcare is increasingly unaffordable, support systems within families and friends, within reason, have an increased responsibility to...not arbitrarily make it any worse.

While I'm unable to go into the nuance of approach due to an already lengthy post, especially since it's circumstantial and down to the case - I believe that the pragmatism people claim to approach a mentally ill person with not too far removed from that which is often dispensed to those who are homeless (which while writing, I realise is also a potential byproduct of this cognitive bias I'm describing). In other words nothing but cruelty, and a truly pragmatic approach would be to sooner accept the reality of those who are afflicted, understand that they do not wish to impose due to the aforementioned social stigma, and approach with curiosity and compassion rather than judgement and scorn before its too late.

So I cant always reach much higher than 60-70fps at 4K On my 5070ti, state of the industry, unreal engine yadayada, So in an attempt to conserve power and keep a steady frame-rate I elect to cap said games to framerates the graphics card can consistently reach. Unfortunately however it appears that doing so on my Samsung G70D creates a judder that is not present on a frametime graph. I cross referenced this with my other monitor, a 120hz VRR 4k dell panel and it exhibits no such issue.

The ironic thing is the Samsung panel is G-SYNC certified whereas the dell one is not. what I’ve noticed is that the monitors OSD VRR counter is quite a bit more erratic at 144Hz while limited to 60fps while the counter stays very stable at 60hz/60fps. I’m under the impression that this is a unique quirk of this monitors LFC implementation.

Anyway - I’m wondering whether there’s any way to resolve this without having to toggle refresh rate for every game, because at 70-144 it seems fine. I’m also loathed to forgo VRR as that was one of the reasons I purchased the monitor. I would use the Dell if it weren’t for the fact the motion clarity is a lot worse.

Im constantly burdend with this idea that every problem I have is of my own making, reality is far from it but people see things in simplistic ways and dont appreciate nuance, especially not that of the neurodivergent experience. One of the biggest barriers ive faced in self actualization is sleep. My whole life, from early childhood up to adulthood I have suffered with fragile, difficult sleep. I have tried so much, yet Im just not able to establish it. This becomes a particularly big problem when I have a committment sueing the day but my brain chooses not to switch off. So I just vecome flaky at best and just dont do anything that involves others at worst. Its become extremely isolating. Ive tried so much, like the usual exercise (Ive been on several 4+ hour walks, each of which i didnt sleep that night after), meditation, ive been on meds which just kinda stopped working after a while, sleep hygiene, noise, blankets ugh everything.

There will be weeks where its then normal but I dont know what causes it because all the other variables are the same, its just like my brain is actually getting the message that its bedtime earlier than 5am. It quickly fades and just like that Im back at square one.

Ive read about delayed sleep phase and whatnot but there just seems to be fuck all understanding of what Im experencing on the clinical side. Its just constantly feeding back into the multitude of other mental health problems I experience, so im just kinda at a standstill in life because of it. Im signed off work because of all this, ive been trying to petition the GP and the CMHT for extra help but they cant do anything more than the performative treatment they usually give.

Is there any specific insights/resources in regards to neurodivergent comorbidities and sleep?
