I hope the r/evilautism sub makes it to Lemmy. That one was always my favorite before my IP ban. It makes sense that autistic people would be more likely to receive Reddit bans than a neurotypical user, as we’re statistically left leaning and don’t really have filters. And we hate Musk.
It’s funny that you mentioned this, because the crappy website is one of the things that sold me on it. It reminds me of the old internet.
It’s also surprisingly affordable, I got a 3 year subscription for something like $60. I was during a sale.
AirVPN (Eddie) has port forwarding. The interface isn’t very appealing and their website is meh, but it works and I got a great deal on a 3 year subscription.
Well I’m autistic so I miss like half the shit normies try to convey. Maybe we’re not as small of a minority as I had previously thought…
There are so many people who don’t seem to understand what “middle aged” means. It means halfway to your life expectancy. So maybe 40, considering the average man in this country dies in their 70s. Jack Black is past middle age at 55.
I don’t think there’s been a turn based game that has sold as well as BG3 in a long time. They’re just chasing trends. Something like XCOM is a better comparison in terms of gameplay and style, but doesn’t have the sales that BG3 has.
I knew that the success of BG3 would have an impact on the industry, it was only a matter of time. This sounds fun.
I guess I didn’t know that. Yikes. I’m glad I don’t eat many canned goods.
Fittingly enough, that was the first of his novels I read and will likely be the first one I reread.
Oh! Interesting. Eating cold soup out of the can sure is a vibe. Way to be yourself!
Don’t eat from the can. The inside of the can is lined with plastic, so if you heat the can itself the plastic will leach into your food.
I plan to reread all Clive Barker novels a second time, at some point in my life. His prose is just so unique and has an effortless beauty about it that I’ve yet to find in another author.
Plot can only really draw you in once… when you already know what happens in a story it doesn’t have the same pull it had the first time. But prose has a lasting appeal, one that can be revisited. The indescribable quality of the way that words can make you feel is unique to the relationship between reader and writer.
I don’t. At least not anymore. I used to have a 40 hour, Monday through Friday job, but I had to find something else or I would’ve ended up having a breakdown. I’m autistic, and my life has been a series of periods of trying to be the person society wants me to be, failing, and then spending several years burnt out and unable to function before repeating the whole process. If I hadn’t been able to live with one of my parents during those burnout periods I would’ve likely ended up homeless.
I’ve found that I simply cannot work 5 days a week. Even 40 hours over 4 work days will eventually burn me out. So I found a job that offers 12 hour shifts, and I work weekends. I pick up one or two shifts during the work week when they’re available. I average 32 hours a week.
It’s unarmed security, and it works for me, even though it doesn’t pay well. I’ve just accepted that I will be poor, and my life is much better this way. Capitalism has brainwashed us into believing that money is more valuable than time, and there’s something wrong with you if you can’t match what is expected of you.
Alan Wake 2 has great voice acting. I think the main character is just naturally more subdued and when compared with the theatricality of BG3 it just seems worse if you’re expecting that style.
Last Week Tonight did a story about dollar stores:

Yeah, they’re as bad as you’d expect.
Fjallraven makes technical pants that are fantastically durable, and waterproof. They are waterproof because they are a waxed canvas, so you can remove the waterproofing and make them more durable by washing them on a hot cycle, or add wax and melt it into the fabric with a heat gun.
They’re expensive, so wait for one of their sales. I paid $140ish (USA) for both of my pairs, it it was worth every cent. They come with a lifetime warranty, so living near a fjallraven store is helpful as they will repair them and wax them for you for free.
Technically they’re only supposed to provide this service for 10 years after purchase (which is still worth it considering how much abuse I put them through) but Fjallraven employees will still provide tailoring/waxing even if you don’t have a receipt. I asked someone at their Seattle location about this and they said they have a customer who has been bringing in their pants for repair for 30 years. They’ll mail your clothes back to you after they finish with repairs/waxing.
I have two pairs, one vidda pro ventilated for shoulder seasons and winter, and one pair of abisko lite trekking zip offs for summer. The vidda pro pants I use for winter sports instead of snow pants. The zip offs can be converted into shorts for hot days.
It’s a little silly to say “every” game when two out of three examples in a category are from the same game.
