This is how every phantom should end! - Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

[@Johnice227]

To those that betted on me: no refunds. Should have known already I always lose at that stage.

[@user-gv4zb9rc6u]

On a side note though- love watching you BRNK, Seriously love seeing your videos and often watch them to the very end no matter how long they are. I can’t wait to catch a stream of yours one time, and keep on with the good work man.

Preface: I was misdiagnosed with ADD, but I have ADHD (or more specifically Type 3 ADHD as listed in DSM V - turns out the guy who misdiagnosed me was just stupid). On what you were talking about at 7:56 (the muscle memory), I do a good bit of complex movement related activities like dancing and parkour. I find even the simple movements a challenge, and I have to really break everything down and consciously think about every step as I do it. Progression takes me longer than most, so with dancing I tend to have multiple partners I can practice with, or with parkour I just go it alone. It's a bit of a curse, because it's sometimes frustrating that I still don't get it, or that it's not like 'riding a bike', as if I let the skill "rust" too much I need to relearn it partially to get it back (think of it as an extended review session, rather than just 5 minutes of quick notes). But, I find it a blessing, too. For so many people (with movement especially), it goes straight to subconscious muscle memory with no real conscious learning step. That makes things hard to grasp in a different way for them. With the fact that I have to always think about every small movement, when others say "it just happens", once I learn it I can tell you how exactly it happens. And that skill alone has been super invaluable throughout my life. It makes me such a great teacher for those who want to learn something without months and months of trial and error without knowing what they are even supposed to be doing. And it has even helped me when I had to relearn how to use the entire right side of my body when I was young, from eating, to speaking, to writing, to walking, to grabbing, to seeing. Having ADHD is a burden to bear, don't get me wrong. But just like every burden, it makes the one who bears it stronger for it. And that is what you show to the world; the strength that it gave you, not the burden that brought it.

[@BRNKoINSANITY]

This is a fascinating perspective to have. I never thought about the teaching aspect, but since I consciously take every step, it does let me make carefully calculated adjustments to every little thing I do, which has helped me tremendously in certain tasks.

[@Ebb0Productions]

Beautiful base, Brinkman.

[@Zeep_goblin]

Dude I also have ADHD and in highschool I would have special ed teachers have to read a script to me 20 times before I kind of got it, it was and still is a rough process for me.

[@OrionTheta1]

We will always have FUN right?

[@zerencz8905]

BRNK do you use any grafic mod, that changing the building beam? it looks different then I remember

[@BRNKoINSANITY]

I use the FAF client from faforever.com. It adds some graphics updates along with what the expansion does, and also makes a ton of QoL improvements and integrates a lot of solid UI mods. Totally different and much better than the steam version at this point.

Soooo i have adhd odd add ocd dyslexia severe stress and depression and also anxiety and im a perfictly capable human being who is a genious at alot of think and work as security lol it doesnt bother me at all and i dont take medication and yes i have been diagnosed for every 1 of those but im fine even with them all lol

[@BlueNEXUSGaming]

I have bipolar (multiple varieties), borderline Multiple Personality Disorder, Psychopathic Tendencies, Sociopathic Tendencies, PTSD, and my Spine is physically Fusing together around the Discs (advanced stage, it's blatantly obvious that my Spine should not look like it does on an X-Ray from any angle), in addition to everything you listed save the Depression (bipolar is blocking it from ever manifesting), and the ODD (my problem with authority has nothing to do with the fact that they are authority). My Dad was a security guard for about 2 decades after he left the medical field, which he had gotten into after leaving the psychology field, the medical and psychological he was taught a portion from the Army, and a majority by reading over research papers (originals, not references, he tracks down the Data sources to find out the truth). Security Guards have a very difficult job sometimes. A trained monkey might be able to do your job sometimes, true, but; unlike a trained monkey, you probably won't fling turds at people who walk by lol keep up the good work and stay safe ;)

@@BlueNEXUSGaming lol wow thanks and u as well

[@dimanarinull9122]

psychiatrists guess medicine is confirmed - I have experienced it myself and 3 other friends of mine did too.. war-times and crap = lots of stress = all mental issues surface and go out of control = a lot of nasty side effect if U are like me and not react nicely to drugs(waking up bleeding from nose and eyes was a fun morning)

[@misthafalls]

The one time I use something Cybran and it gets taken away from me Kappa XD something something twitch clips DeafAmorphousAlbatrossCharlieBitMe still no regrets about it, I should end every game with that now right? ;)

[@charickter]

It seems like all those nukes were just wasted. But I'm like a 100 rating. I don't speak these guys' language.

[@michaelhixson6939]

dude, man mental health issues don't make you like, broken. There's a stigma in the states against any kind of mental health issue, like that person is contaminated or infectious. I've grown up with an ADHD friend and I watched a lot of Mark Lowry as a kid. It's not some terrible all consuming thing. You should definitely go in talk to a professional and realize that you're not crazy to have ADHD or even just ADD. Best case you're none of these things and you just get a check up. Worst case scenario you spend some time in therapy telling a professional about what bugs you. Don't be worried, dude.

[@BlueNEXUSGaming]

It's because as recently as the 1900s mental health was enough to get sent to the Insane Asylum, and it's been a massive tarnished mess trying to explain to the sane ones that they are no longer in the majority, as the insanity has become the sane thing to be, it is the new normal. My mental health report is pages (plural) of symptoms, my OCD is well managed, and nicely counterbalanced by my other issues, but I can still feel it's pull. That's why I find myself incapable of watching Brink play Creeper World 3. At least here I'm oblivious to the mechanics of the various Units and Buildings, so I just get to enjoy watching him build and then get wrecked.

[@BRNKoINSANITY]

I dont think I am broken :P at least not more than anyone else is. At some point though, I will probably go in for consultation at least.
