    I've known about my adhd a long time, but, surprise, I also have autism! It really makes a lot of sense in retrospect and I've since learned a lot about myself.

    Of course. Played a ton on GameCube with friends offline and online (I even had the Ethernet adapter just for pso!) and again on PC with blue burst. I also played PSO2 for years on the jp servers...

    Of course.

    Played a ton on GameCube with friends offline and online (I even had the Ethernet adapter just for pso!) and again on PC with blue burst. I also played PSO2 for years on the jp servers but ever since the "New Genesis" reboot it's completely dead to me. It's a shame that happened RIGHT after the official English release.

    And y'know PSO2 was fun, but the original PSO's visual and audio style are unmatched. Absolutely gorgeous imo. When the steam deck first came out a few years back, I got back into the original and played on Ephinea: https://ephinea.pioneer2.net/ . I had a blast and people were friendly, but once I reached the max difficulty all of the sudden I encountered a LOT more players that demanded I play a certain way so I lost interest. It's still going strong afaik.

    What a lovely game, though. That forest music was formative in my teenage years.

    Oh, and shout out to the original PSO game on the DS, that was actually pretty good even though I didn't play it for nearly as long.

    Arise is the same base game but with a whole new set of fancier graphics, new soundtrack, a new "burst" mechanic, and a small pause in-between sections. Both games are very good.

    I think you meant to link a different video but it's easy to find from the link. Feeling mild excitement

    I have the same problem. It looks like automatically adding events to calendars has been lumped into the "smart features" toggle, so you can't disable the annoying features without also disabling...

    Oneohtrix puts on a great live show too. He had a friend on stage controlling a tiny puppet version of the stage. It was cool.

    Congrats is definitely the right response. :) I started noticing that almost everyone in my hobby group has Autism, and they talked about things like "stimming" that I had never heard of before....

    Congrats is definitely the right response. :)

    I started noticing that almost everyone in my hobby group has Autism, and they talked about things like "stimming" that I had never heard of before. After some light research I learned that before the dsm V was released in 2013 therapists were encouraged to only pick ONE between ADHD and Autism. After 2013, the spectrum model was popularized and both can be diagnosed simultaneously.

    The final push was when I found a link to www.ndtherapists.com on reddit. From that site I went to my state and searched the page for "audhd" because I figured if they use that term they would be up-to-date. One of the results was a PsyD that was covered by my insurance. She had me do a whole bunch of tests on my own and a 3 hour video call, and a couple weeks later I got a lovely 18 page psychological analysis.

    Only problem now is it seems like the best therapists are pay out-of-pocket.

    I've known about my ADHD since the 90s, but as of Wednesday, at 38 years old, I'm also diagnosed with autism. How about that. What a trip.🤙

    This really sucks, but also, flying solo at 90 years old is wild to me. I don't know a whole lot about flying but I do know commercial pilots have to retire at 65.

    I really enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts. My first listen was just a few years ago so I really missed out on how Voodoo was received upon release. All I knew is that the first listen blew me away, no context required.

    I'm eager to dive into a few of the albums mentioned here to learn more about where D'Angelo drew from and who he has inspired.

    Also, I can't BELIEVE the drums are programmed rather than live on "untitled". It sounds so natural!
