  • Monotropism Score: 181 / 235

    Your Average: 3.93

    I’m Monotropic, Now What?

    This score suggests that you are more Monotropic than about 27% of autistic people and about 90% of allistic people based on data from the initial validation study.


    I’ve never been officially diagnosed with any time of autism. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid in the early 80s, though was not medicated and unaware until sometime after I graduated high school; my parents just neglected to tell me until then.



  • I actually got board, got a new HDD, and got linux mint on it. It doesn’t seem to have a bootloader installed and trying to install grub2 hasn’t changed anything. I’m also pretty disappointed in game support. Maybe I’m missing something, but Steam knows it’s on linux and a huge number of games in my library just say they run on windows or windows and mac.








  • I play a mix of characters. If they’re voiced, I tend to prefer feminine voices. I think there are a number of reasons for this, but one practical one is that I just hear better in a higher range for whatever reason (and this gets more true the older I get). I have a much easier time hearing higher-pitched voices and generally find them more pleasant.

    If they’re not voiced, it depends upon if I’m role-playing something specific. If so, I’ll pick whichever I think fits best. If not, I’ll probably pick a female character just because I find them more pleasing to look at. I always wanted to go back and do a female V playthough of Cyberpunk, but I just never got around to it.

    Years ago, in the early 2000s, I got in to MMOs with Final Fantasy XI. I played mostly female characters there because people were more likely to help out.
