Mental Omega Meme

[Jon Levatte]

Hey what is going on Commanders and Grunt! This is something new I've started beside my casting series trying to guide new players into slowly adjust to multiplayer.

In this episode, I mainly looked to cover the fundamentals, but in later episodes, I will be covering the more intermediate to advanced techniques.

Tell me what you want to see covered!!! Whether that be how to play Foehn, how to play with the discord group, or even how to beat Alstar!!!

I think the absolute most important topic is probably explaining the crucial differences between mental omega multiplayer and vanilla ra2/yuri revenge multiplayer. Though almost all of this mod's players have once played/also play the vanilla version as well, mental omega multiplayer and vanilla multiplayer play very differently. Probably the biggest reason why this mod may turn off new players that want to pvp is how different mental omega is from yuri revenge, with the addition of a lack of easy to find resources.

For the last video in the series, discuss some of the most advanced tactics, I know everyone learns the basics and comes up with their own advanced tactics, but I'd be happy to showcase my own if you'd like.

Maybe also good if you post your new episodes in your latest post, instead of always editing the first post, otherwise the thread won't show up as "new". For one, I missed the second one, and would have missed the third if not because of this latest post.

The snapshot function in VMware effectively allows you to make a save state of the operating system at any time. I've used it while practicing some missions, and while it is much slower than regular saves, it's incredibly handy. It's not better than vanilla's saving in anyway."

I'd much rather chop my balls off with a shiv while I am being raped in the prison showers than use that god awful program again, I will simply wait until the saving problem gets fixed by the guys at ares.

Thing is, I don't like users badmouthing programs just because of PEBKAC.

And I am around for a close decade now, so yeah, I think I can stay a little. And trying to teach some manners doesn't take much time off from my daily routine.

VMWare/VirtualBox/co. all work the same in this case - the user would play the game through a virtual Windows install (preferably XP SP3) and suspend the state of the VM as a "savegame". Would be terribly ineffecient, but ain't a rocket science. Atleast not on the level you sent it to hell.

Then it forces me in a state where mental omega is running in the background and if I alt tab into it there's a fifty-fifty chance of it crashing. just repeating the mission from the beginning saves me a lot of time and brain cells. I was angry at the time I wrote that post because of how many times I've had to scream because of mental omega crashing.

Thank you both, for now, a youtube video will have to babysit me for 7 minutes while I finish each mission. I hope this is only temporary as I could use some not looking like a pussy in front of my friends.

And not too many people do, lad... Not too many people do. SO DON'T CHOP OFF YOUR BALLS YET! You need those ammunition reserves to load up your pump action shotgun! Then you can start shooting people more often, right in the mouth! Graion's got a dirty mouth.... you know what to do. COCKED AND LOADED! Here some more Meshugga for you:

Oh man, don't get me started about the queen. That inbred lizard deserves to die a thousand times AT LEAST! We don't need that saggy parasite to knight people. You leave that to me, my good chum. I see a great future for you, son. Thy will be done.

Western-style dietary habits, in particular, come under special scrutiny in much of this research. A meta-analysis including studies from 10 countries, conducted by researchers at Linyi People's Hospital in Shandong, China, suggests that dietary patterns may contribute to depression (Psychiatry Research, Vol. 253, 2017), for example. Dietary patterns are also related to hippocampal volume in older adults, according to a study led by Felice Jacka, PhD, director of the Food and Mood Centre at Deakin University in Australia (BMC Medicine, Vol. 13, No. 215, 2015).

And in a new study of 120 children and adolescents, consuming fast food, sugar and soft drinks was associated with a higher prevalence of diagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Pediatrics, Vol. 139, No. 2, 2017). Led by Maria Izquierdo-Pulido, PharmD, PhD, of the University of Barcelona's department of nutrition, food science and gastronomy, the study also found that children who ate fewer vegetables, fruit, fatty fish and other foods associated with the Mediterranean diet were more likely to have ADHD symptoms, even after accounting for potential confounders. While these associations don't prove causality, the authors note, they suggest that diet could play a role in ADHD's development through as yet unknown mechanisms.

And small dietary changes can make a big difference. In another study led by Jacka, 67 depressed adults were randomly assigned to seven individual nutritional consulting sessions with a dietician or seven social support sessions over 12 weeks. The dietician helped participants make adjustments to their diets, such as eating less junk food and more nutrient-rich foods such as produce, fish and legumes. While just 8 percent of the control group achieved remission, almost a third of the dietary intervention group did (BMC Medicine, Vol. 15, No. 23, 2017).

In the 1990s, when experimental psychologist Bonnie J. Kaplan, PhD, first heard people claiming they could treat ADHD with a multinutrient compound, she was dismissive. Then she saw preliminary data showing improvements in children with ADHD who had received the supplement. She changed her mind and her research focus, becoming a pioneer in the emerging field of nutritional psychology.

The family's story and that early research convinced Kaplan to open her mind and subject the compound to scientific inquiry. Since then, in several small studies, she has found promising evidence for its use in such diverse areas as improving emotional control after a traumatic brain injury (Annals of Psychiatry and Mental Health, Vol. 4, No. 5, 2016), treating emotional and behavioral problems in children (Journal of Medical Case Reports, Vol. 9, No. 240, 2015) and minimizing distress after a natural disaster (Psychiatry Research, Vol. 228, No. 3, 2015).

According to Kaplan, one overall finding in studies on the impact of broad-spectrum micronutrients is that people improve their functioning across the board, not just in target areas such as ADHD symptoms.

In one randomized controlled trial, for instance, Julia J. Rucklidge, PhD, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and colleagues assigned 80 adults with ADHD to receive either a broad-based micronutrient formula or a placebo.

After eight weeks, participants in the intervention group and their spouses rated their ADHD symptoms as having decreased more than the placebo group, although clinicians saw no significant group difference in ADHD symptoms (British Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 204, No. 4, 2014).

However, on ratings of global functioning, the clinicians indicated that about half of the intervention group had improved, as compared with only a quarter of the placebo group. And those in the intervention arm who were moderately or severely depressed at baseline had a bigger change in mood than those in the placebo arm. "As disappointing as it is not to get significant group differences across the board on all the ADHD measures, what's relevant at the end of the day is that your impairment is reduced and you're functioning better," says Rucklidge.

Other psychologists are exploring the role of omega-3 fatty acids. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties and effects on dopamine and serotonin transmission, omega-3 has a role in brain development and functioning, with deficiencies linked to mental health problems, says Mary A. Fristad, PhD, of the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Fristad is studying the use of omega-3 in conjunction with an evidence-based intervention she developed, called psychoeducational psychotherapy. In a pilot randomized controlled trial funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, Fristad and colleagues assigned 72 depressed 7- to 14-year-olds to receive 12 weeks of omega-3 alone, omega-3 plus psychotherapy, psychotherapy plus placebo or just a placebo.

Seventy-seven percent of those who received psychotherapy and omega-3 achieved remission, compared with 56 percent of those who received a placebo. While children in all four groups showed improvement during the study, children whose mothers had histories of depression and children who had become depressed with fewer social stressors fared better with any of the active treatments than with the placebo (Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, Online, 2016).

"What we demonstrated was that children with what appears to be endogenous, versus situational, depression required an active treatment," says Fristad. "Psychotherapy worked; omega-3 worked; their combination worked the best."
