  • Interesting. I just reimaged mine this morning for a very similar issue but didn’t run into any problems yet after restore.

    Mine crashed while playing Uncharted and after it rebooted it would flip to a black screen when launching a game. Stayed black until the game fully launched and once you quit it would stay at a black screen instead of showing SteamOS. If you hit the volume buttons the screen would stay on until the status bar went away. If you managed to navigate to the desktop it worked fine. Screen came back normal after a reboot but problem would come back after every game launch.

    Haven’t gotten to test yet while waiting for games to download. Somehow my sd card got corrupted during the restore so I lost all my downloads.


  • Weird advice but what worked for me is making it harder or gameifying it a bit. It was easier when I wasn’t working and had more time but less money. I have MCAS along for the ride with autism so I flip between what foods(and environmental triggers)I have allergic reactions to. I developed a pretty severe aversion to eating because of the puking and pooping. I needed something to make me eat more than cook.

    I do fortunately have the privilege of space for good gardens and a decent little kitchen. And my autistic mum often found 6 children overwhelming so I started cooking at 7 years old.

    The one that really worked the best was focusing on how far you can ‘from scratch’. Great way to learn about making sauces. Adding in the aspect of a time challenge makes you think about shortcuts and how to get to a desired flavor in a different way than the recipe calls for. Making different kinds of pasta is fun. Or wanting donuts so you learn to make donuts.

    I have space for gardens and I’ve found making meals that come to me through a 3 month project(or 3 years for my thyme) is a good incentive to use the products of my labor and then actually eat the thing too. I’m not going to let 9 tomato plants go to waste and I’m going to make something delicious too. I grew my own onions, tomatoes, oregano etc and made some awesome pasta sauce that took 25 minutes, 3 days, 4 months or 2 years to make depending on how you split it.

    Getting a little deeper into the process also adds in a data collection and manipulation layer than can tweak my brain in a fun way. Kitchen scale, precise temps, durations, shopping lists, costs etc etc.



  • Doesn’t anyone else remember back in circa 2011-2014 when ISIS was all over Reddit?

    Like you just be browsing r/Syriancivilwar or r/Arabspring and all of a sudden there’s some ISIS motherfucker just shitting everywhere? Saying the absolute worst things. r/syriancivilwar even had ISIS/ISIL flair for a while. To be overly fair, I did have one really interesting conversation(with a dude who thought I deserved death) about ‘Paulinism’ vs ‘Christianity’ but I don’t think that overall makes it worth having folks like that around.

    I feel like people forget that era of development of mod tools and site policies. r/The_Donald were running into rules put in place to deal with literally ISIS.

    Give yer balls a tug. Seriously. Maybe if you’re being as shitty as literally ISIS then you should take a look at your behavior. Get the fuck out of here.

    It’s also highly disturbing that at least ISIS was honest. R/The_Donald would never admit to their hatred.
