You’re not the boss of me

Are you prone to switching out of the calm, logical, and reserved robot mode, and becoming excited, chaotic, and silly? I definitely spend more time in the former, but value the expression of the latter highly.

In terms of MBTI, these would be expressions of the 2 most dominant cognitive functions of us INTP, introverted thinking (Ti) and extroverted intuition (Ne). It is important for me to have freedom to express the Ne side of myself, but it definitely doesn’t please everyone, and it can be difficult to find people who will have fun and play along with you to your hearts content. It is definitely possible to express Ne alone, generating ideas and possibilities for problems or projects of your own. But when used for comedy and absurdity, it really is so much fun to engage in.

How do you meet this need, if it is something you consider important? If you don’t consider it important, why not?

So, how are people doing over here? I am getting over a cold and playing Inscryption (along with my partner who is backseat gaming).

How are other folk?

I have put a moderate amount of work into putting together an enjoyable, functional electronic environment that reflects my unique interests and tastes. So, I am curious. Anyone else out there have their comfy, cozy personal electronic home?

My personal setup is a good, but old laptop running Linux tweaked to my liking, with a beefier gaming desktop also running Linux. I have the two configured so I can use the laptop and swap to a secondary workspace that is the gaming pc whenever I want to do something that could use a bit more power or if I just want to off load it to the other machine and have it do something in the background. Added to that nice compatibility, I also have my phone set up for the same functionality, so I can access the main computer there as well. Then I just recently added a Steam Deck to the mix that is currently my main gaming device. Anything it can run, I do there. If not, you guessed it, I moonlight into the gaming pc to run the latest AAA games on higher settings. Add to that a set of good wireless earbuds with smart assistant functionality and a home with smart lights and features and I kinda walk around a little electronic paradise.

So, what are y'all running with? What little personalized things have you done to make your world yours? Or are the computers in your life just tools and you are good with how they come?

I brought up the idea of protesting reddit and moving to Lemmy a couple of times on the INTP subreddit to tepid interest, but if we wanted to get a few more people over here, we could try and let people know we are over here carving out our niche.

Not sure if a post was made over yonder or not, and I would not want to unilaterally decide to do so, but it could be good to have a few more voices in here.

What says the sub?

Occasionally I can make progress by looping back to a project that has been relegated to the backburner. How do you guys keep focus?

If anyone is watching this community, does it appear that the other two meme posts got deleted, and the two text posts remain accessible? I can no longer see them in my post history or in !intp, not sure what happened but it may be something to do with lemmy.world upgrades

I'm afraid that with how quick, "thoughtful" and personalized these can be, I will have even less human interaction. Noone can keep up with this?

Was just checking to see if any INTP folk made the trip here from Reddit. Is this an actual sub or just another thing that an INTP decided to do, but then hot bored half way to execution?
