But researching and shopping is an essential part of the dopamining
I hate it so much, the anxiety of not understanding the overview of what you are reading abut, the subsequent decisions, the pauses bcs your brainhole just gave out & needed some recharging time, etc.
… wait, did I say ‘hate’??
dopamining
Oh god that word is so brilliant it gave me goosebumps and ASMR or whatever chills over my lower back and ass. Mmmm
You take back this AssSMR image you put in my head!
That’s kinda like shopping too. Just that second hand is better for the environment, doesn’t waste resources & doesn’t waste labour.
Now to hyperfixate on finding the best adhd buddy to trade with.
Researching and shopping is almost always what puts an end to the interest for me.
But seriously library economy, guys. There’s no reason for every house in your neighbourhood to own a jigsaw, or even leaf blower.
Tell that to the guy who drives a 3 ton pickup truck to work every day, because of that one time 4 years ago he had to transport a fridge rather than pay £20 to have it delivered.
“That’s socialism though…” Shut the fuck up becky, we know.
Sounds like communism to me. Better not say that too loud.
I’ve been thinking for years now about the idea of opening up a “neighbourhood kitchen.” I would prepare and provide all sorts of common ingredients, as well as cooking tools. People could come in and use what they want, maybe paying a membership fee plus used consumables. The most annoying parts of cooking are gathering the ingredients and cleaning up, these would be done for you.
So, in other words, a decentralized “Library Economy” or “Sharing Economy”. Very Solarpunk. 😇
Around Seattle we got tool libraries, I don’t see how this would be that different
There should be a contract that you get the tools but you also get the last unfinshed project. This way, hopefully we may all collectively finish a project
There’s no way a neurotypical figured out that the stars rotate in predictable patterns in the sky that correlate with the changes in seasons and can be used to time crop planting. Also, that guy probably had a cave full of star drawings and was fed by the tribe because he routinely forgot to eat.
Isn’t that basically a makerspace?
Sounds like communism, better stamp that out immediately.
We would crash the economy
2 birds 1 stone
--> Ornithology hobbyist swapping stuff with geology hobbyist.
We would correct the economy
This used to exist on Reddit. I believe it was ADHDbay. The trouble is it probably needs to be modded by a neurotypical. I know I could only do it for a short time and then get bored and move on.
You just swap the moderation hobby when you’re bored of it and someone else takes up the mantle
This is pretty much what swap meets (aka flea markets) are for.
But for real though. At least some of that furniture they sell will give you fleas.
Yeah was just about to say this is just Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist.
You’ve gone even older.
There’s a fediverse project for that: Flohmarkt
Another idea: have ‘lending libraries’ for hobbies. Leave your art supplies and check out a keyboard and a Ukulele. Donate leather-working tools and while you are there you can use the 3D printer. Kind of like a cross between a maker space and a book library.
Smaller libraries might be able to combine the two ideas. I know you used to be able to check out video cameras and AV equipment before everybody phone did that at my library.
This way creative people in the community who otherwise couldn’t afford to express themselves could have access to the tools to do so. I could make more room in my house by donating the art supplies to people who I know will use it… at least until they get bored of that and want to try something else.
I could see people holding classes there in how to use the tools properly, or even just hanging out to give advice to people who want it.
Libraries in the US and Germany and the UK do that right now. Other countries too probably but I only know of those three
Sounds like a great idea which neither of us is gonna remember about tomorrow. I’m in!
Remember what?
Y’all are buying stuff??
I hyperfixate on research to find the best price/performance fpr my use case and then either forget, abandon or maybe follow through with it.
Last research (but only very minor): Ayn Thor to emulate Nintendo DS with an actual clam-shell dual screen setup.
Usecase: Pokemon Plat (or Diamond) and Dr. Kawashima would be prime material.
But it would be capable of playing less-demanding switch titles.Currently waiting because of cost and quality of hardware. But it looks promising (believe it was 400€ in total)
I like this because it’s also practical (and that Thor looks pretty sweet btw). What I’ll do is create a spreadsheet of all the classes I would need to take and in what sequence in order to get into medical school, even though I have literally zero intention of ever doing so.
Not something I’d choose to research but everyones different :)
Hope you stay high on your dopamine and your future research endeavours!
none of the DS emulators impress me enough to consider yet mainly bc of the touchscreen lag/no hard stylus
probably wouldn’t be impactful for pokemon but in DS games that heavily use the touchscreen it’s pretty noticeable
As I’ve only tried melonDS so far on a SteamDeck touchscreen with my finger, I can’t say much about responsiveness (not easy to slide on the screen).
But I’ll try and see how to works. Thanks for info.
When it’s as you described, I have at least a more portable pokemon Emulator than my steamdeck.oh yeah for sure I don’t think it’s a bad fit for your use case tbh just wanted to share my personal hangups.
i really wanna play diamond/pearl (my OG) but really cba with the two screens smooshed into one on my retroid pocket flip 2 but I didn’t even consider it for steamdeck … that doesn’t sound terrible w how big the screen is
considered the remake/remaster/whatever for the switch and could cope w the much less cool gfx but last I looked into it it didn’t emulate well
I play the brilliant diamond on my steamdeck (and pc) with yuzu and synced saves (syncthing) across both devices.
Honestly it’s amazing.
Same for melonDS.Btw regarding responsiveness: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kt3GezkZeR4 (Timestamp: 16:14) for a demo at how responsive the emulator is on the ayn thor.
Man, I’m glad my hobbies only require a computer.
look. I’m really going to use these domains I pay good money for every month
You pay monthly?
I have everything you need to make graphic tee shirts… 5 years ago… boxes never opened…
I might still have a use for my box of woodcarving tools someday. Maybe.
Literally every time I’ve finally been like “okay I’m really never going to use this” and get rid of something. A situation will come up in the next few months where I’m like “welp, this would have been perfect for that thing I threw out”.
This. I have a few boxes of random tech shit. I am always going through them for various cables, dongles, or whatever. At least a few times a month.
Same, anytime someone in my circle has a tech problem I usually have a part on hand to get them back up and running again or use while they order a replacement.
