AimIsADickI can't just "put in the effort"; I struggle to complete a task. I have ADHD and I struggle with executive dysfunction; so I struggle with getting enjoyment.

i assure you people with adhd can "just put in the effort" there are plenty of successful people with adhd

AimIsADickAlso, YouTube is a surveillance shithole. I am trying to practice my privacy; because it is easy to identify a person's sensitive information. I avoid YouTube because Google requires a phone-number (which can easily identify someone); I will not freely give my phone number again.

schizophrenia

AimIsADickI don't like working with other people

you sure seem to post a lot very publicly for a guy who "flies solo"

AimIsADickSome people need an alternative explanation or graph to understand a concept. How would I design a YouTube video? Is it really difficult for people to just download a file and play it locally?

for something people barely even care about? yeah that's asking a lot.

AimIsADickIf I did that, then I would not have finished the project ever.

posting about your projects doesn't seem to get them done any faster judging by your posting history

AimIsADickI think I understand the topic I am writing about well enough to write well about it, so I know what I'm talking about.

you are not writing well

Posting about stuff that you aren't done with releases dopamine, and will demotivate you to actually finish, just do the work instead of posting about it.

No they fucking can't! Just "Putting in more effort" would result in burnout (which can lead to suicide) and extra stress! ADHDers can't fix executive dysfunction through willpower; this is a dumbass misconception that hurts the reputation of people with ADHD!

Effort is important, sure, but people with ADHD struggle with sustained focus due to executive dysfunction. Willpower is not going to change that.

  • Can someone beat cancer through "putting in more effort"?
  • Can someone beat COVID by "putting in more effort"?
  • Can someone beat an autoimmune disorder by "putting in more effort"?
  • Can a traumatized person wipe away their trauma by just "putting in more effort"?

Successful people with ADHD likely struggled to get their success;

For fuck sake. I have ADHD; I constantly struggle to do my goals, even with luck; I struggle with consistently performing hygiene tasks; tons of my project ideas get scrapped because I can't generate enough motivation. (I, probably, would not have survived without meds.)

Also, the success isn't exactly worth it if I just come out with a worse mental state. (Just listen to people with ADHD!)
[/b]
But please elaborate your highness, you ADHD "expert". How does willpower fix my executive dysfunction? How does willpower fix my poor working memory?

Holy fuck that is an invalidating statement!!

I'm already demotivated from executive dysfunction; how is posting on social media going to make a difference?

TFTV has much shadier data harvesting practices than Google and Facebook combined. I can't give any more information for fear for the safety of myself, family and loved ones but if you value this sort of thing, Aimisadick, I suggest you log out immediately.

I suspect this is why airstrafing is so interesting and fun as a game mechanic: your motion during an airstrafe is just so much more complex, and it's so much more difficult to find paths, because of all of the aforementioned factors.

I agree.

bearodactylon the topic of bot airstrafing & miwos post there was a super cool project someone in the jump community was working on with using genetic algorithms to do jump/surf maps

demonstration of it 'learning' (they aren't really considered to be 'true' machine learning but its close enough) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiAl9LVUc0U
stages 1-4 on jump beginner surf map - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzLEOIzrDYI
segmented jump map - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT_yc9nsJBk

was actually going to mess around with trying to get it to work using deep reinforcement learning last year but got too busy, might pick it up as a side project tho cuz its a rly cool problem

found another video of some guy using GAs for quake airstrafing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBodLDT_yrg

That is an awesome project. Thanks for posting these videos!

I think that machine learning will be a key to improving TF2 bots to be playable (or maybe even play in competitive); Good bots could increase the game's longevity and could automate good tutorials.

tommyI've dreamed of an RL algorithm discovering c-tapping, if it could discover rocket jumping, c-tapping would be right after. Would be so cool if we discovered a new tech (unlikely but a man can dream)

Same.

chill out guys aimisadick will LITERALLY kill himself if he has to finish a single project instead of posting more useless threads. it's life and death.

ok but for real the guy who said u should see a therapist is 100% right, but not in a negative way at all
i thought it was stupid when i was younger but it has helped me a ton over the years and i strongly believe that everyone would benefit from seeing a therapist, it's a shame it has such a negative stigma even today

and its much easier said than done but the best solution to not being motivated to finish a project is to simply sit down and make yourself work on it some more

im doing a computer science masters despite not having an undergrad in cs and ive had so many projects/assignments that ive been stuck on or unmotivated to work on, and ive told myself so many times like 'oh i dont have the coding background for this' or whatever story, but at the end of the day every time i actually make myself sit down and start coding or working on it (rather than thinking about it or rationalizing my inaction on it) i find it's not nearly as hard as i thought, its just the first step of getting started that is the hardest (which you have clearly already done on this project and many others, just need to re engage with them)

everyone has their setbacks and things may not be 'fair', but the only thing you can do going forward is accept things as they are and work with what you have, you will never be successful if you hide behind excuses to not try something

by all means maybe this isn't the project you truly want to pursue, but that line of thinking and attitude will prevent you from accomplishing pretty much any goals you have in life and i hope you are able to move past it (or at the very least not post on the forums about it lol, im posting this to be nice and hopefully help u go down a better path but if u keep posting this type of stuff in the future i will not care enough to spell it out like this)

Pederasty in ancient Greece was a socially acknowledged romantic relationship between an older male (the erastes) and a younger male (the eromenos) usually in his teens.
