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

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago

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

THAC0 is WHAC0!

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, it would if human brains didn't hate subtraction

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

That’s why I always said “hooray!”

That's a lot of words to say that Gary Gygax was a gatekeeping math nerd.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

THAC0 did nothing wrong!

Adderall for the adderall god.

Gotta get the ADQHD for the optimal balance of resolution and refresh rate

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe too fast

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

I'm old enough to have been diagnosed with ADD, or I guess now that's "ADSD".

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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?

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Ariselas@piefed.ca 25 points 2 weeks ago

Back in my day all we had was ADVGA.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I liked the upgrade to ADHDMI.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_display_resolutions

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Again, thats the stupid part. VGA means only 640x480. SVGA is 800x600 and QVGA is 1024x768.

All of those resolutions can be successfully sent through a….VGA cable.

I'm going to blow past escalating to EGA and CGA and go obscure to ADHerculesD. Hercules was a monochrome system that could emulate CGA/EGA in monochrome with different brightness levels :)

[-] los0220@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I would rather have ADDP

Not to be confused with ADSD Cards.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ok moneybags, I had ADMONOCHROME

[-] justaman123@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

And here I thought I was special with my AuDHD

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 weeks ago

It is. That's the gold plated version

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

It makes sense why you guys were attracted to each other.

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Very very much so :)

[-] justaman123@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh man, hope you're surviving the declining empire capitalist hellscape

And here I am, with glorious AD240p

[-] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 10 points 2 weeks ago

DVDA peeps are keeping their mouths closed.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 3 points 2 weeks ago

huehuehue - indeed it is not a medical diagnosis.

[-] bottleofchips@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

But it could certainly lead to one

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Do it enough and they'll give ya one at some point.

[-] 20cello@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

What about people with AD8K then

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

They can revel in all of their 60Hz

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Me on ADSD:

The irony of this image being 640×613.

I like how the two guys in the background are kind of blurry.

I don't know that aych-deez are, but I've got 80 of them

It took me longer than I want to admit to get this
