Also, @ketara, I started some of the Darkest Dungeon DLC, but didn't go back to it. I went into the "new stuff" too early and got wrecked by some nasty crocodile jerk with a billion health. I need to go back again because I never played with Antiquarian and that game is some good shit. See, part of it is I'm tanking as a Dark Knight and I think I'm fucking up my cooldowns, plus I'm not in full Shire gear, so that doesnt help either....Could be that my friend is a terrible healer as well, that's always a possibility  As far as sleeping goes, I think I'm kinda a nightowl? Past couple years I've been unemployed during the winter and just done the whole, sleep during the day, up at late afternoon-night thing, but that was while working part-time snow removal, so working like 5-10AM, maybe. During the rest of the year, I train my body to wake up at 530-545AM just to get ready for work, normally without needing the alarm, but I set it as insurance. | ||

My understanding is that while there are a few people who only need 6 hours (and some who need 9+), anyone who says they only need 4 hours is kidding themselves. I had a friend who said that, even said his mother was the same way, but I am honestly still skeptical because I think he was a severe workaholic and it just became habitual for him.

My ideal cycle is go to sleep around 5 am, get up at 11-12 am, but if I don't have anything to do, I can easily stretch that till 2 pm. But I desperately want to become more productive and this also, sadly, means I need some ties to an awake society, but the process of doing it is so so difficult. I can do it for stretches of a week max, but I inevitably get back to the 5 am cycle.. sigh. Fucking circadian rhythms. I mean, sleep studies established awhile ago that humans have some of the least accurate internal clocks in the natural world and that our inner clock's "day" is about 25 hours. Is this what you're referring to? Because the reason why most people don't go to bed 1 hour later every day is because our body gets to correct itself using natural sunlight. So if some people actually have trouble with that it sounds more to me like they're just not registering the natural "correction". | ||

That would line up with the commercials I hear on the radio for blind people that can't keep a sleep schedule without medication. Can't correct with sunlight when you can't see it. | ||

My sleep schedule is all kinds of messed up but I'm too stupid to try to change things because I always feel the need to have that 'me' time late at night when there's no one around. I have a couple days I don't start until 1 so on those days I'd get up and drive my son to school, come home and sleep a couple more hours, but now I have to use that time to get stuff done I have no way of getting done otherwise. And now I find out my car needs more work done and I have no time to take it in, so I have to borrow my mom's car, have my wife drop the baby off with my mom while she tries to get my car fixed in enough time for my mom to do her stuff during the day... Fuck adulting. Fuck every part of it. Except for the part where my wife sent me a video of the baby waving for the first time today. I can't tell whether I'm insanely happy or kinda sad I'll basically never experience this stuff except of its second hand. Sorry I'm ranting | ||

Adulting is simple in a sense, right? You know what to do and when to do them. Sure, shit pops up that can't be foreseen, but then there's basically the devil inside of you trying to bring chaos into your life because walking the tight rope is exciting. Routine keeps you grounded, sane and successful. It's also boring. We all have AD(H)D | ||

Do feel absolutely fucking exhausted though.Getting this much sleep quite often definitely slows brain function by a shit tonne. I already know it's a problem for me but like wave I crave that me time and always end up sleeping late. I don't even have problems falling asleep when I'm in bed it's just getting there. It also leaves my arms fucking aching like a bitch. Probably why my tendonitis got so bad in the first place. | ||

Trying to work out if it's worth using Numba to throw a function to my gtx 780, but it's more just recursive iteration over a very large array than it is repeated simultaneous calculations, so i'm not sure how effective it would actually be. | ||

I drafted weirdly this time, BR control with 13 creatures (8 at the end of pack 1, including the B/R keepers) and 8+ removal pieces (Plank, Lightning Strike, 2x Vanquish, Contract Killing, Unfriendly Fire, 2x Cannonade, Dual Shot, some in the sideboard). Then promptly lost 2 games in a row to River's Rebuke. What a card. D: | ||

I've also bought 3-4 Arcanas which are like 30-40 CAD each. Although I've sold some really expensive shit as well, like the free Rainmaker I got from TL and the Invoker immortal ($500 right there). | ||

As if gambling regulators are going to think csgo crates, where you pay 2-3 euros for a chance at a 500+ euro knife in a completely unregulated game played by minors, is less gambling-esque than buying yourself a damage buff in battlefront | ||

The EU as a whole would have to follow up, and even then I'm betting they'd try to find a way around it(publicize % chances like in China?) before abandoning the biggest profit system in gaming. But ya, reddit still has a hardon for OW+CSGO+DotA2+LoL, and while I'm fine with all of their systems personally, from the 'get toxic gambling out of gaming' PoV they would all have to go. Then again baseball cards have been legalized forms of gambling forever, so I don't know that anything will really come of it stateside. | ||

I could see how even cosmetic loot boxes are addictive to kids and people with addictive personalities though and would much rather they didn't exist. | ||

I have a problem with cs go in that it is essentially real money and has a side business basically. Same as dota 2 etc. Steam marketplace makes it like that. I could see how even cosmetic loot boxes are addictive to kids and people with addictive personalities though and would much rather they didn't exist. The marketplace is where the problem really exists. Going back to red's example, the easy distinction to make between baseball cards and other forms of gambling is that it isn't possible to lose. You buy a pack and get some random cards. Maybe you get good ones that are worth a lot of money and maybe you don't. When you add the marketplace into this it becomes possible to buy keys with the assumption that you'll get lucky and make money. You've completed a system where it is easy to gamble and have losses. | ||
