Well of course he’s masking, he’s hiding the fact that he’s three kids in a trenchcoat

I have heard heard some people claim that Jernau Morat Gurgeh (from Player of Games by Ian M Banks) is probably autistic, but personally i think he’s more Ace-coded than anything else. Maybe you might think otherwise?

Personally I think a better example is Stafl-Preonsa Fal Shilde 'Ngeestra dam Crose, the Referrer from Consider Phlebas. She has a fixation on free solo climbing, and enough brainpower that supercomputers go to her for advice. I personally found the robot that was crushing on her to be super cute.

Sometimes I feel like the upside of my ADHD cancelled out the upsides of my autism.

I do. Sometimes i will post here from over there. It makes me feel like a wizard.

When I’ve met up with other autists irl, we mostly spent the whole time talking about our special interests and how weird the NTs are. I think it just makes intuitive sense to most of us to define our community by the stuff we all have in common.

I met one of my previous SO’s on a Facebook tag group, back when those were big. I am not quite sure why she decided to date me when I told her I was fantasizing about fellating her furry pfp because I didn’t know what she looked like. That could have gone so badly!

I didn’t bother. I took my horny outside and used it as motivation to talk to girls and make friends. I would not have the people skills I do today if I wasn’t so horny.

I was assuming that that was how the mom would react, since when I’ve done things like this as a kid my mom would burst out laughing, and when I’ve met other little cuties who did stuff like that their moms would laugh.

If I had been in your shoes, it would have taken me a solid ten minutes to figure why the kid’s mom was laughing

Microsoft is the suits. Suits are for office work. Microsoft is for office work.

I’m really hoping this market crash affects the housing market so I might finally be able to afford a down-payment for a house

One of my exes is autistic and also had dyscalcula. Took me a while to accept that she will never enjoy math like I do. It was depressing.

Not really. I did for a while on Mastodon but then the one I picked announced it was going to shut down. So I left

You are doing the lord’s work

That may be why he had no customers

I think we are the frogs being boiled in the pot of enshittification

I mean, it’s easier to port a game running on Godot than something written in Assembly. So I’m not shocked to hear that

But up until Unity decided to stick some TNT up their ass and light it last week, the king of porting was Unity. I’m not saying it’s perfect, but if you’re a tiny indie company who wants to get something on Xbox, PS5, the Switch, PC, and even maybe mobile if the game is tiny, Unity was the engine for you.

Unity has been the king of portability for a while now. Godot is focused on the PC market.

This sent me into full-body convulsions. How could you do this to me
