*Permanently Deleted*

I like having either tags or posts that start with the brackets (eg: [venting]) so you know what the poster expects in terms of responses. Are they looking for help or just venting? Is it a meme or actual discussion around a piece of media? It just sets some clear expectations at the start so the threads can be what’s most helpful or productive / fun

Came here to say this.

Without the restrictions of being on App Stores and going through reviews, devs can move so much faster. I feel like two or three times a day it tells me a new version can be grabbed, and it's caught up to and bypassed the alpha/beta apps from Testflight which get updated once a week (if lucky).

Xbox’s ‘Exclusive’ Video Game Strategy Leaves Everyone Confused

Worked for Blizzard before all the Xbox layoffs... The confusing actions are mainly because the gaming division is now it's own company within Microsoft and responsible for its budget and making revenue for the first time in XBOX's history. The leadership level all got promotions and new titles, they shared new org charts to everyone, and then the layoffs and closures began almost immediately. It's no longer about making their user base grow but about making money so expect their games everywhere and to see Game Pass lose features and raise prices.

Adult ADHD Diagnosis - what is the process like?

Before going to a doctor I would look up local/regional ADHD support and advocacy sites to see what they lost for late diagnosis options. A lot of folks will otherwise waste your time or tell you that since you made it this far a DX won't help.

I did this when seeking my ASD+ADHD diagnosis a few years ago as a 35yr old adult and my process was way less time consuming and frustrating because of that help.
