Yeah have done it with normal needles (plastic wrap over them and then touch a wand). Injections--hard to think it would "do" anything bad, but I'd be worried about the person jumping when they feel it

The ADHD test was honestly one of the easier rhythm games I've played
This individual's Auditory Persistence quotient scale score of 160 (PR=99) fell in the exceptional range. Her score on the Auditory Persistence scale showed a significant speed-up in her auditory reaction time after the end of the main IVA-2 test period. This exceptional score on the Persistence scale is considered indicative of a more positive and motivated attitude toward the IVA-2 test than that of most of her peers. Given that her Auditory Stamina quotient score fell in the exceptional range, she was not identified by the test as being mentally fatigued in her ability to respond to auditory stimuli. This pattern of responding suggests that she does not get fatigued easily when required to process auditory stimuli.

Feels pretty reductive of how "considering experiences and communicating" are huge umbrellas of skills and techniques that encompass basically all the work that has to be done in relationships regardless of good you are or aren't as a starting point.

Because you feel like attachment theory is common knowledge (where did you learn about it), or because you feel like it just restates obvious first principles? I guess I, similarly to Liv, see the core complaint "I knew all this already" and feel like it warrants digging into a little.

Summarizing might be a fool’s errand, everything about this work resists summarization. (This is a fun project to see starting up—my girlfriend and I did an MGS1 playthrough back when we did a podcast about old games)

There’s also this odd thing where “choking” to nonexperts means “trachea” (if they even think about it), but a lot of practitioners will use it to mean “carotid artery” because it’s assumed that’s the only version you’d be discussing

An individual scene—admittedly I am more likely to push through just because it’s worth it to me to do it. But then, I’m only planning very high-intensity ones with people I have a certain friendly comfort with in the first place.

Hamlette @hamlette.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
A lot of this thread seems to be more in the context of a relationship, where, yeah, I tend to go further and say it has to be fundamentally based on being equals from the jump. A d/s dynamic doesn’t change the basic expectations you get to have as any kind of partner.

Hamlette @hamlette.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
Yeah this is all huge. Even for individual scenes, I try to make sure there’s an aftercare moment where I can stop being the responsible one (after a partner is renormalized from any headspace if needed). And for any kind of relationship, of course it has to be totally accepted.

I have always wondered something like this. I talked to my partner about it before we got a dog (I never had before). And even though I’m generally happy with having a dog, I still do have a kind of ND overempathy whenever I see him potentially feeling bad.

Hamlette @hamlette.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Honestly when I see the content that’s trying to take those ideas in a positive and encouraging direction, I kind of like that it’s there—it’s like “yeah why not I do hope that helps someone”

I imagined most people who were saying this stuff as not really understanding/thinking that far. I figured they mostly conceptualized NFTs as a mysterious thing where the NFT itself contains…well, anything.

Asking her if she would be able to ask the server what the “pup seasoning” in the dog meal is—a normal question that a normal person could conceivably ask for normal reasons—without giving herself away. And she says, no, there’s no way she could. Not with the collar on.

Same for the story, also. It’s both: —At atmospheric and surreal homage to the 19th century horror book The King In Yellow —The most Videogames treatment possible of a straight man whose only visible motivation is obsession with an offscreen woman So, you know, it depends on what’s important to you

Boss 2 down (1-shot 💪🏽). Man, Saros and Returnal are so weird. A kind of…semi-rogue structure that…does it make sense actually? Some upgrades and stats and whatnot that are, like, fine? Run variance but just…a little? And then shooting and dodging and enemies that you can’t stop going back to again.
