  • I appreciate that. I have a partner who is on the spectrum and has ADHD as well.

    I was only joking in the pedantic style often associated (rightly or wrongly) with autistic traits. ASD is the official DSM-5 term. Of course being a diagnostic manual, that focuses only on behavioral deficits. As I understand, the DSM gets plenty of criticism because like you mention, it omits all the interesting ways folks cope or even creatively use abilities like hyperfocus for positive outcomes. But on the other hand, I’m not sure successful behavior requires any psychological treatment, so that may be unnecessary to include in the first place.

    Anyway, I think this is one of many situations where simple terminology doesn’t capture the full nuance of reality. So apologies if that came across as crude.




  • I don’t know what GOG galaxy is but I assume it’s a storefront like Steam.

    Yep, basically that. No you don’t need it to launch games, I would skip it if this is your only game from GOG.

    Sounds like if you run by opening Galaxy and hitting play, it won’t be the native version and will run through Rosetta 2 but if you run it from your applications folder it’s the native version. This is a bit odd because that makes it sound like by default what you have installed is BOTH versions which sounds like an awful waste of disk space

    I don’t game on Mac these days but that seems very plausible.

    If you do want another launcher option, Heroic works on Mac. I’m not sure if it gives any different options on what version to install. https://heroicgameslauncher.com/




  • Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it’s the best ever but it’s 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there’s also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it’s not instant gratification y’know?

    Once you bake a pan though it’s pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you’re not too concerned with your waistline.

    Edit: Oh and a box is like $3 at Big Lots. But you do have to supply an egg and cooking oil.
