This is obviously anecdotal, but fuck Wellbutrin. It didn't help, and it triggered tinnitus, which didn't go away after I stopped taking it. Still happening 2 years later. I'm one of the lucky 3-6% Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I agree, this is a fun little game. There definitely were plenty of terrible 2600 games that were part of problem at the time (I'm looking at you Frogs and Flies) but some of the "shovelware" is fun.

And, there actually is a version of Kool-Aid man for the Intellivision! It's a completely different game though and not as much fun IMO.

Interesting! I've never heard of that before, and I love this sort of thing. Do you have any more info about it, or maybe an Atariage thread with more details?

I did a quick search and found a couple references to a problem with it on the 2600 Jr when the difficulty switch is set to A. Is that it?

Listen, I didn't check Lemmy while avoiding getting ready for work just to be personally attacked like this. I have a full day of meetings ahead and they will be interesting and novel and absolutely not require pharmaceuticaly supported masking and dissociation to prevent a panic attack. 🫠

By a cyborg that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger because your unborn child is destined to save humanity from Skynet?

Yes, I know what you mean! I often say that running is my meditation.

Exercise makes a big difference for me. Running outside is where I find the biggest impact. Something about the repetitive motion, being in a different, constantly changing environment and time to myself helps me center myself, and helps even afterwards (usually a day or two.) I know running isn't for everyone, but you might try some sort of exercise that you enjoy.

I also have a standing desk and recently got a cheap walking treadmill that can move under it or out of the way, and those sometimes help when I'm finding it impossible to focus. I realize the treadmill isn't accessible to everyone, but I've literally made a standing desk out of boxes a couple times, if you want to just give it a try.

I know that neither of these are guaranteed, but might be worth a try to see if they help a bit. Good luck and I hope you find some things that help a bit.

Is it a nut splitter, to help remove a nut that has seized to the bolt threads?

Bedpan was the first thing I thought of too, even before I saw your comment. I'm not a nurse, but I've had to deal with them with loved ones, and that tends to burn something into your brain. 😬

This is the meanest thing anyone has ever done to me on the internet, and I was on terminal emulator Usenet. <... Cause that's where the party's at and...> Here's some Lemmy gold plated latinum 🪙
