You complain about it hurting your OCD, then refer to the 'ASP'.
WHICH GORRAM ASP ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!1!EleventyOne!!
Where are you referring to? Outfitting? Module list? Ship transfer screen?
Do you actually have psychiatrically recognised OCD? Because if you don't and you're one of those people who say they're OCD because they like their desk neat or something, you're one of the worst types of people to exist. Mental health and illness is not a joke or 'trendy'.
A mild form, but yeah I do. I handle it well.
Hmmm.... Pulling someone up on a comment and also using a very dubious phrase. Really, they are not anywhere near the worst type of person to exist at all. Murderers, despots, psychos - they could probably all be reasonably be described as the worst type of person. Someone who uses OCD incorrectly? I think not.
If you're going to criticise, I'd ensure that you are doing so from a moral high ground. You are not.
+1. I agree completely. And there's a very long list of worse people in the world. Those who take up 2 parking spaces, those who take items from your grocery cart or even your whole cart (yes, I had this happen once). Words don't hurt as much as actions.

Being a white heterosexual male Christian conservative meat eating gun owner, I am insulted that you should even suggest that Hercules comes even close to me on the scale of evilness. Why he's practically a saint!!! I'M INCENSED!!!!

Being a dyslexic agnostic insomniac, I... I lay awake all night wondering if there really is a dog.
I think people who call others the worst types of people are the worst type of people to exist! [noob]

You sir, are my new hero. Have a sticker!
It's almost but not quite funny that most people who claim to have OCD don't. The initialism 'OCD' has been latched onto by 'geek chic' culture that thinks that nervous and awkward behaviour is somehow desirable. But they are wrong.
OCPD - Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder - is a condition in which sufferers feel the need for neatness, tidiness, cleanliness, accuracy, attention to detail, etcetera, etcetera. This is what I have. This is what most people who claim to have OCD have.
OCD is a different beast. OCD is a serious and mostly harmful mental condition whose sufferers often feel a need to repeat nonsensical tasks in order to achieve a greater goal; for example they must, when leaving a room, flick the light switch on and off seventeen times. If they don't do so a loved member of their family will die. This is a far cry from merely wanting things to be clean and tidy and ordered.
Granted, this is much of a simplification: there are often (but not always) connections between the two conditions, and any mental health issue is too vast a subject to summarise in just a couple of incomplete paragraphs comprised of a handful of sentences. But you're not dumb; I'm sure you get the point.
TL;DR: If you're going to claim to have a condition that compels you to accuracy and attention to detail, at least try to get the name of the condition right.

FYI the fact that thinking about this thread compelled me to write this response annoys me. I try to ignore these sort of things, and for the most part I do okay. But I've had a fantastic night out and filled myself with whiskey so I'm letting my naughty side play. We earned it
