Speaking of game of the year, I spent like... 89 minutes in the shower ranting about how Arin's opinion of Shadow the Hedgehog is wrong.

@DarkwolfX37

I read that as "morally wrong" at first and I agree on both accounts. It's an excellent game.


So much water gone, though.

Sounds boring. Aren't longer ones actually worse for you?

IDFK probably.

@DarkwolfX37

Then wouldn't it make more sense in the context of OCD to take regular showers?

@Techspert

No. OCD is very much not rational.

Isn't that a bit counterintuitive?

@Techspert

Not really.
I don't have it but i can understand the concept.

@Darlit Glitch

I understand the concept. However, in an adaptive context, OCD only makes sense as something good to improve the current situation. For example, Dark's is cleanliness, which causes him to go out of his way to be sanitary. But in this case, it actually hinders his ability to be clean.

@Techspert

OCD isn't an adaptive thing. It's a negative adaption that would result in being less likely to reproduce, hence not propagating. Problem is, the things that cause it aren't strictly hereditary.
Basically, OCD means my neurons have created connections in such a way that the "signal of completeness" doesn't get sent. You know how, like, if you were to wash something, you would eventually reach a point where your brain says "that's enough."? My brain just doesn't do that, so in order to get that signal of "that's enough" I have to do a lot more, or just go without it which can lead to severe anxiety. It's actually pretty interesting if you want to look into the disorder more.
