I get manic though like a typical person with bipolar 1. My schizophrenia-like symptoms however, are subdued in some ways and pronounced in others. Some people with it lean more heavily on the bipolar end of things, and i lean more on the schizophrenic end of things in terms of symptoms these days, but that has changed over the course of my life. I had some "incidents" which the doctor calls "episodes". Not enough symptoms for a clear diagnosis, and since no criminal record, so no priority.
Maybe too personal, but how did your environment react? Do you look forward to family meals?

I don't have a good relationship with my adoptive family. We never bonded in the first place (it's difficult for me to) and had a rocky time of it while I was growing up, including me spending a couple years as a homeless teen rather than live there.
My biological family and I get by, but then they're really understanding - mental illness runs in the family on my mom's side. Schizophrenia, and bipolar that i know of, probably a couple of schizoaffective cousins AFAIK.
My hubby on the other hand, has not only known since we were teens that something was up with me, he married me anyway sucker!
He's really understanding and helpful. I also feel better about it knowing he knew what he was getting into.

I should add, it became easier when I stopped trying to hide it I think. There's a stigma around it but I care less about what other people think about me than what I think about me, and trying to put up a false front is exhausting. Besides, you can spot me from a mile off. I'm a very pronounced weirdo so my madness is kind of obvious to begin with. My situation may not be like yours, not saying it is. Just that I found it easier when i stopped hiding it.
I'm not sure what type of episodes you had but if you go manic it gets easier and easier to channel that into incredible creative energy if you practice.
Good luck to you.
And thanks for sharing.

So a few years ago I played with some algorithms trying to make map stitcher for retro games. The first iteration was painfully slow, but few months back I tried again, with slightly different approach, and got somewhat better results. Let me share some results for the two of my favorite games for Commodore 64:
- CJ's Elephant Antics - Level 1
- Combat Crazy: Warbringer
Hopefully I'll soon start writing an article about it. I have not written one in a while

Do some more testing first: Map this![^]
There is also a C64 version, but it's uglier than the Atari version (as always).

Oh you should definitely write a new article! Man I had so much free time during COVID but then I installed Cities Skylines along with a 100 mods .

Hey man! What's up?
Lol, I know what you mean. I'll have to write it until mid-August, before Serious Sam 4 gets released, otherwise it will have to wait at least another month, or two

I have just been notified by GitHub[^](imgur snapshot) that I "...have contributed code to the 2020 GitHub Archive Program[^]."
Yes, that's right my code will be stored in an arctic cave.
Now, when the world is destroyed by AI, the cockroaches will be able to read my code from plastic and type it all back into the SuperComputer-Overlord that will rule the world.
This is definitely going on my resume and will, of course, allow me to get any IT job that I want.
Seriously, I'm assuming a lot of you have earned this badge? Chime in.
Also, does anyone know how to see what code was contributed?
UPDATE
I floated over the badge and it seems to show that I've contributed a lot[^].
I still await the associated direct deposit transfer into my bank account. I'm sure it will be meelyuns! Muhahaha!
