I always have subtitles turned on for games. Audio processing isn't my strong suit at the best of times, let alone when fantasy accents and weird vocabulary end up involved. I usually end up using them for TV shows and movies as well, at least when watching by myself. I just wish real life came with them, haha.

Freezies! Orange is the best, followed by red and then white/clear.
Unfortunately, it’s usually struggling with “actually doing the thing”.
I’m lucky that my reminders have worked for the things I consistently actually forget, haha.
The timers work, but only for a week or so at a time. Then they stop working for a few weeks. Repeat. XD Same with my reminders (because yeah, the Reminders app is a godsend).
I am medicated, but we’re still figuring out the dosage. I’m on 18mg Concerta right now - probably going to ask my doctor to raise it at our next appointment. See how that goes.
Background noise is generally helpful for me as well. I usually have the TV on in the background! Generally a series I’ve seen before, but right now I’m working my way through King of the Hill. Anything that I can half-listen to and still be able to follow, haha.
Why is PHP problematic? It’s not a fantastic language, but it’s perfectly functional.

I’m going to miss the non-technical subreddits I visit. I’m sure all the ones geared toward techy people will end up migrating, but the others… I’m not sure. And I’m not interested in running anything myself, it’s more responsibility than I want. The niche ones will be hard to find as well - sometimes I just want pictures of snakes with hats!

As someone that strongly prefers working in an office, this makes me sad. I do my best work when I’m surrounded by other people doing the same kind of work as me. Coworking spaces and body doubling on Discord don’t work the same (and one of those is $300-$400 a month to boot). I realize I can’t make my coworkers come in. But god damn do I wish they had any desire to work in person. I haven’t seen most of them in person in 3 years, and half of them are within walking distance of the office!
