I'm a transhumanist doctor. In a better world, I wouldn't need to add that as a qualifier to plain old "doctor". It would be taken as granted for someone in the profession of saving lives.
At any rate, I intend to live forever or die trying. See you at Heat Death!

I am sorry to hear that you're depressed. I'm in the same boat, last time I felt entirely fine was after I enrolled in a study on psilocybin for treatment resistant depression. It was like the sun had come out again, and it lasted for months. I miss it desperately. And yes, being depressed is probably the main reason I don't play video games as much as I used to.
As for Factorio? It's one of those games that appeals to me greatly, in theory, but I would need to use my prescription stimulants to be able to play it. If I need medication to enjoy a game, that is annoyingly close to work. Shame, I love the idea.

I genuinely wonder if you've ever been mistaken for an LLM. If you weren't a longstanding account that we were confident is human, say you'd just shown up as a new user, I'd have my doubts.
I don't mean this is a bad way! Quite the opposite, you display a level of diligence and effort that LLMs are trained to perform (not quite as successfully), but which is sadly rare in humans. Look at the Markdown tables, look at the tasteful insertion of a rare unicode character. My god, I'm looking even closer, and that is a lot of fucking work you put in on a random thread about video games. I only put in half as much effort when I'm AAQC-farming.
(Of course you play Opus Magnum, I'd kill to see your Factorio builds)

Nothing, I haven't played a videogame I weeks :(
Maybe when Menace gets a new content update, or when something like Mars Tactics comes down. Otherwise I just can't be arsed.

I just learned of the existence of the Codex Alimentarius.
Absolute banger of a name, the world needs more organizations and artifacts that could be thrown as-is into the world of 40k. I wish I worked in an Apothecarium of the Corpus Sanitas Imperatoria instead of a hospital in the NHS. I wish I corresponded with the Sisters of the Eternal Vigil instead of sleepy nurses with too much lip-filler. A man can dream.

Look, I piss clear all the time, so I'm pretty sure it's fine. I drink when I'm thirsty. I'm sure when it's a hot summer day and I don't have AC around, I do hit 3 liters plus in India.
I have been intentionally sitting this whole conversation out. It hits too close to home. There is also a lot going on atm, but if you do want my full take I can come back to this, probably as another comment. This only serves to let you know I noticed.
