Me on ADSD:
I like how the two guys in the background are kind of blurry.
They have ADSD
And here I thought I was special with my AuDHD
You are. My wife is. It’s extra fun.
The two times I’ve been officially diagnosed the provider has told me that I am the most severe case they have ever seen.
With my first diagnosis, my wife had been investigating the idea because her friend told her that she thought I should get checked out. And then once she agreed to that the friend said, oh and by the way, you should also get checked out.
So when she got her diagnosis that provider said she was the most severe he had ever seen until he met me and then it changed to me. LOL
It makes sense why you guys were attracted to each other.
Oh man, hope you’re surviving the declining empire capitalist hellscape
It is. That’s the gold plated version
I’m old enough to have been diagnosed with ADD, or I guess now that’s “ADSD”.
Same. They made me a fucking zombie for about 6 months when they decided I needed Ritalin. I kinda wish I could get my Adderall back, but I doubt I could afford it with my crappy insurance.
Never heard of ADSD. What’s the S?
it’s a play on the HD/4K thing. SD for televisions is “standard definition”, or what we had before HD: good 'ol NTSC.
Edit: sorry to hear about your med situation. Personally, I can’t do any of the uppers for this because they wreck my gut, and leave me feeling strung out at the end of the day.
Gotcha, thanks. I thought I had missed something in the DSM, or that they had updated something, lol.
Meh, I’m getting through it. Moving to California for cheap and legal weed, and making myself my boss have let me muddle through to a decent retirement in the next couple years. I’m just not able to get a weeks worth of work done in a day anymore.
Then there’s the AD40K out fighting for the emperor.
Avenge Little Kitten!!!
And the AD&D trying to convince people that THAC0 made sense.
THAC0 did nothing wrong!
THAC0 is WHAC0!
I mean, it would if human brains didn’t hate subtraction
THAC0 was more a symptom of a deeper flaw - that in Second Edition, it wasn’t consistent whether a higher number or a lower one was better. Worse, the awkward intersection between the two happened to be in the most critical part of the rules, checking if an attack lands. THAC0 as an intermediary score was little more than a band-aid over those design flaws, and later editions embraced “higher = better” as a universal rule.
But also, “You find a set of magic scale plate. Its armor value is two less than what you’re already wearing.” “YIPPEE!” will never not sound weird.
That’s a lot of words to say that Gary Gygax was a gatekeeping math nerd.
That’s why I always said “hooray!”
Adderall for the adderall god.

And here I am, with glorious AD240p
The irony of this image being 640×613.
fools! HD loads faster
Gotta get the ADQHD for the optimal balance of resolution and refresh rate
Maybe too fast
Back in my day all we had was ADVGA.
I liked the upgrade to ADHDMI.
I’m going to blow past escalating to EGA and CGA and go obscure to ADHerculesD. Hercules was a monochrome system that could emulate CGA/EGA in monochrome with different brightness levels :)
VGA is also the name of a specific resolution, it just happens to also share the name with a connector. The whole letter soup for resolutions was a dumb idea and I’m glad it died out. For example, did you know the Game Boy Advanced had a screen with HQVGA resolution? No, none of the letters stand for what you think they do. Of course that means Half Quarter Video Graphics Array.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_display_resolutions
But original VGA could be 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768.
Also I think it supported a 320x240, and then later on it would support much higher resolutions.
Again, thats the stupid part. VGA means only 640x480. SVGA is 800x600 and QVGA is 1024x768.
All of those resolutions can be successfully sent through a….VGA cable.
Didn’t EGA also support some of those resolutions?
This is exactly why the acronym for display standards was so terrible.
The Extended Graphics Adapter (abbreviated XGA, obviously) by IBM was introduced with multiple resolutions available, named XGA and various deritives.
EGA came earlier and was colloquially used to refer to 16-color display modes, but wasn’t used to define a specific resolution.
More specifically, EGA was a color palatte that had 64 colors available, 16 of which could be displayed at one time.
And then there’s CGA which came prior to EGA, but like it referred to color modes rather than resolution.
Even CGA had at least a couple of different modes because you had the mode with four colors. But you also had a higher resolution mode that was just black and white. Or maybe it was black in one of the colors. I don’t remember. It’s been too long now. But even CJ had at least two different resolutions
Gotta support ADDP for its open ecosystem
ADSD.
Not to be confused with ADSD Cards.
Ok moneybags, I had ADMONOCHROME
ADCAM
DVDA peeps are keeping their mouths closed.
Does that mean for you , what it means for me? Because what I’m thinking of certainly has nothing to do a medical diagnosis.
huehuehue - indeed it is not a medical diagnosis.
But it could certainly lead to one
Do it enough and they’ll give ya one at some point.
What about people with AD8K then
They can revel in all of their 60Hz
I don’t know that aych-deez are, but I’ve got 80 of them
It took me longer than I want to admit to get this
