Then there's the AD40K out fighting for the emperor.

    And the AD&D trying to convince people that THAC0 made sense.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Does that mean for you , what it means for me? Because what I’m thinking of certainly has nothing to do a medical diagnosis.
