call me whatever you want I genuinely don’t care. you can call me he she they or it I genuinely don’t care. the funniest thing a patient called me is a reference to one of my many obvious physical deformities. if you care what I’m called that’s very genuinely a you problem. and honestly the more it bothers people to not know what to call me the funnier it gets.

The secret is to just not care what people call you when you’re not there. Even when I’m in the room and people are talking about me it’s mostly just funny to listen to whatever they come up with.

I hardly play competitive games at all. I play puzzles and games with good creative modes and farming Sims. At the very most I very occasionally play a single player arcade game but it’s usually either Tetris / breakout or a rhythm game. I almost always play coop. Only competitive games I can really tolerate are racing games. I’ll do a 1st / 3rd person if it’s real roleplay heavy. Visual novels are fun sometimes.

Anyway my job is a lot of getting yelled at and occasionally dodging punches so yeah, no. Pretty much all media I consume at home would be classified as “cozy.” Told hubs I do wanna know how FROM ends but I don’t actually want to watch it with him, LOL.

I feel like the answer is to have all competitions be centralized on special competition computers. You physically travel to a centralized convention or whatever and have to use equipment set up just for the competition that’s been checked for mechanical and software fairness the same as the ball etc get tested for a professional sports game. You can practice at home with whatever software you want but if you want to be properly competitive you’re going to want to practice on an uncracked game (or even cracked against you).

They still want them to commute in to clean their houses though. Or perhaps live in the servant barracks on the estate.

I once saw a deaf patient fingerspelling off to the side to “feel out” the word they were trying to write the same way you might “sound out” a word. Blew my mind. Also the time we had a schizophrenic where the translator couldn’t make heads or tails of their signing so we tried BSL etc with similar results but eventually they got medicated and it turned out it was ASL just the ASL version of “word salad” (common symptom of psychosis). Like I know it’s just a language like any other but it’s always cool to see the different ways it can manifest the same functions and dysfunctions.
