I meditate, somewhat frequently. Importantly, I don't have to "sit still for 20 minutes" to get the benefits. If I'm in line, or at a red light, or walking somewhere on autopilot, I can switch that to a mindfulness exercise in the minute or less that I have to engage it.

The benefits are incredible. I'm a person who I'd describe is "on-edge" way more than not. Since starting meditation a few months ago, I've noticed I don't get worked up over things that used to heavily affect me. It definitely comes down to both a conscious and an unconscious control of emotions. For one, I know I don't need to be worked up, and for two, I can decide to not be (as far as two aspects of conscious control go).

I also listen more. I "slowed down" my internal clock and pace, such that things can impact me more easily, be they words, or situations.

I'm also literate in neuroscience and the primary research on meditation. I don't just "believe" in it, or anything in that matter. I'm not saying I'm immune to placebo, but this is way too strong and persistent to be a result of placebo.

All in all, I most definitely suggest you try meditating. I've had a more-than-extraordinarily-positive experience with Headspace, an app for iOS and Android. They made it well, I won't go into detail for all the reasons I think they have, but I've covered the bases on routes towards somewhat effortless meditation, and this is grade A as far as guided meditations and a wholesome approach to it go.

Best of luck. Feel free to PM me or add me on Steam to talk more about this. I'm a beginner. I don't even get 5 seconds of quiet. You don't need to be an advanced meditator to reap benefits, and I can see it as resoundingly true within myself.

Start by sitting for 5 minutes, eyes closed. Just breathe. Don't expect anything too much of yourself. You'll be surprised how much that'll do for you in a week. That's 35 minutes total. Just do it.

this post hits the nail on the head
social vs biological constructs are very real, and worlds apart

and it is important to respect those around you when handling their identity
because it is theirs and only theirs to choose

I played the beta they released last week, and it's really fun. It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
Heh.

Definitely peep it.

PS: anybody have a sound file of SUPER HOT being said?

I'd like an invite, this game looks fun and I'd like to evaluate it!
Thanks in advance!

Anybody have a preference between Requestly and PourBico?

I guess I simply don't know enough about the subject. My basic understanding sees "stair prop" that has jagged edges, and changes the prop's box or whatever to be a ramp or inclined plane, whatever the need.

I understand it goes past that. I understand TF2's explosions already behave strangely on sloped surfaces that aren't jagged at all.

But no, I'm not data-fairies level.

Honestly, how hard is it to make everything behave as the best possible scenario?
Stairs being a simple ramp in the eyes of projectiles/explosions.
Hitboxes being cylinders scaled to the actual size of the mercenary.
am I missing anything?

what about this is making it work?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you farm uber SUPER fast now?

I like it, I just really wish you'd clarify why you're doing certain things. Like the msconfig part
Also, you should try cleaning it up. Each section can have a numbered list, just for ease of use.

Hey, when I hide viewmodels, I get a picture-in-picture effect in the top left corner of my screen, it takes the whole quarter of it. Can you help me out?

Ratatat is downright my favorite band. I will show Ratatat to my children.

Their new song, Abrasive, has become my anthem.
