A hypnic jerk, hypnagogic jerk, sleep start, or night start, is an involuntary myoclonic twitch which occurs during hypnagogia, just as a person is beginning to fall asleep, often causing them to awaken suddenly for a moment. Physically, hypnic jerks resemble the "jump" experienced by a person when startled, often accompanied by a falling sensation. A higher occurrence in people with irregular sleep schedules is reported. Causes According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine there are a wide range of potential causes, including anxiety, caffeine, stress, and strenuous activities in...

@GnomeSlicE I have my reasons.

@Wipqozn I was just wondering what that was called recently because I had a sleep study done and I noticed that happening.

user2334

@EbonDreamer And the consensus is to remove it. You lost, get over it

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlicE In other words I've always wondered what that is, and it's really interesting.

Ebon Dreamer

@MarkTrapp There is no consensus. You're projecting your own opinion here.

Chromesthesia

Chromesthesia is a specific type of synesthesia, in which the person afflicted "sees" colors when a tone is sounded. This is a write up of a longitudinal case study conducted by Paul A. Haack and Rudolph E. Radocy in four interviews and testing sessions over the course of five years, from 1974-1979. The woman in the center of the study, referred to as "D," answered questions pertaining to her chromesthesia. D also has absolute pitch.

@AshleyNunn @spugsley doesn't get it at all.

Ebon Dreamer

If you make a dedicated meta thread about the story tag, then I will agree that it has been discussed.

user15026

6:07 PM

@origamirobot really? Wow. I get it all the time.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Me too, but not from haircuts. That's the most common one.

user15026

@qatash i think it would be distracting

user2334

@EbonDreamer This is what I'm talking about: you seem to willfully ignore discussions that don't agree with you. All of those are about tags like story. This one and this one are explicitly about story.

ickleislands

@EbonDreamer you like your story ye? :p

user15026

@origamirobot me neither. I like haircuts but they dont provide any ASMR for me.

QAtash

6:09 PM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I can see that. But I'm distracted all the time anyway, so I think it would be a fun distraction ;)

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn The interesting thing is, I do get it from people touching my head, just not haircuts.

QAtash

I get ASMR from Haircuts, but only the buzzer

user15026

For me it has to be human touch.

Human touch = ASMR bonanza

@qatash this is true - pretty colourful music would be fun...

GnomeSlicE

@OrigamiRobot Neither do I.

Ebon Dreamer

@ickleislands Because before Jeff originally nuked the tag, it was one of the top 50 tags on the site.

user2334

@EbonDreamer What gets me so agitated is that you keep rolling back removals of the tag and removing it from tag cleanup lists without any discussion: you don't engage at all except to say "no I'm right". Provide a new argument explaining why it's so damn crucial the tag exists.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlicE Does not compute.

GnomeSlicE

@OrigamiRobot ...Why?

ickleislands

6:12 PM

@EbonDreamer I understand there is a problem with tag sorting and prioritisation though and that's the reason for not having 'big' sub tags?

user15026

@OrigamiRobot someone playing with my hair = happy tingly puddle of me

spugsley

@OrigamiRobot @AshleyNunn lol the first time I heard about ASMR I thought it was a weird sexual thing

user15026

Hahaha thats awesome

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlicE I just can't imagine not having it.

GnomeSlicE

I get a feeling sort of similar sounding to ASMR only it's pain.

I get pain sometimes that starts in my scalp and moves down through my limbs...

I'd have thought the fact that it was removed twice previously from the "To be removed" list was hint enough. — Ebon Dreamer Jun 28 at 1:42

QAtash

Also apparently you are just in very high demand @Origami. I think you need to allocate more memory for all this

user2334

@EbonDreamer And it has. I've linked you to two that explicitly discuss it, and another two that discuss tags like story. The consensus is to create game-specific tags when necessary. Saying "we need a discussion" when we were having that discussion is obtuse.

@spugsley If they don't sell, salvage them for the Brimstone.

That's why they're worth 150K; that's what Brimstone goes for.

@fbueckert I thought only the level 60+ legendaries would give the brimstone?

NOTICE: Some Games have Steam and Non Steam options available click the right one!
Example:

July Sale Homepage
Best Deals of July in Digital Games

01. Max Payne 3 STEAM|Max Payne 3 NON STEAM $29.99 (50% off) runs 7/1-7/4 (end of day 7/4) and will then be 33% off through 7/14

02. Spec Ops: The Line - $24.99 (50% off) – Steam activate-able – this will run from 7/1-7/14

03. Syndicate - $14.99 – Origin activate-able – this will run from 7/1-7/14

@MarkTrapp Supposed to be, but people have been waiting for DAYS for it and it hasn't started and they are getting impatient.

Max Payne 3 for 30 bucks ends today for example.
