I don’t super like coconut animos. They’re fine, but too sweet imo. But, Tamari is good as well, and I do really like this vegan ‘fish sauce’ my local asian mart sells, made from fermented pinapple.

Oat milk is the big one to me. I think its so much tastier than dairy milk.

More or less.

Current odds I’ve seen is that Pa is ‘the state’ that decides the election about 1/3 of the time, with the other 6 ‘battleground’ state making up most of the rest of the 2/3s

Hell yeah, love pixel art! Let me know if you want any resources or advice for it, though the best way to get better at art is to just do it a lot imo.

I sill love the Frank Frazetta Eowyn art, where her whole ass is out, as, since she’s dressed in ‘normal’ Rohirrim armor, implies all the Rider of Rohan are thotted up, ass out

I have some resentment, personally. Not that there aren’t valid reasons for it, especially in our broken system, but I have a highly restricted diet (dozens of deadly food allergies), so I can’t eat out ever (due to cross contamination being a roll of the dice), and even most prepared foods I can’t have.

So I spend a lot of time and energy, cooking delicious, cheap, vegan meals for myself, despite having a blue-collar job. And it does bother me, seeing people who can eat ‘whatever’ just eating slop.

Even when I feel like shit, and eat ‘slop’, it’s generally a stir fry, something like rice, (frozen) veggies, and sauce, thrown in a pan for five minutes. I rationally understand the various reasons people might not have the energy or cooking skills for even that, but emotionally, it does bother me.

Exactly my opinion. It is interesting in some ways, but it apes the mmo style of quest design too closely for my tastes.

I do think its hornyposting, but also my barometer for such things is way off, since I’m ace.

Mostly, I hate the trope of ‘lets just draw X, but all hot young (usually anime, though not here) women’

(but also, I usually don’t comment either way, just ignore and possibly block user)

is is the case with most health issues, certain deficiencies can cause certain issues. But, outside of having a specific deficiency, its all placebo.

Will taking vitamin D and B12, magnesium, etc. cure your AuDHD? No.

Could taking them make you feel better in some ways, freeing up some spoons/mental space to better handle whatever issues in your life that requires energy and focus to deal with? Yes, its possible. Assuming you are deficient, which, minor to moderate deficiencies in those three aren’t uncommon.

You are right. But like, ‘learning to do sportstalk’ to help with ‘socialization’ (especially at work) doesn’t make me like sports. If anything, I kinda makes me think its dumber.

But yeah, sports, beers/alcohol, guns, hunting, all classic ‘guy talk’ I’m decently good at, despite none being things I’m really into.

Can’t relate; I do think its pretty boring. Its up there with like; clubbing or bar culture. I don’t hate it, but I’m left wishing it was just like, a house party or something, somewhere less loud and crowded.

I don’t shit on sportsfans or anything, I just can’t understand why its enjoyable to watch. But like, there’s lots of hobbies I don’t ‘get’, so I’m not judging people for liking things I don’t. And I do like playing sports, generally speaking.

‘scallops’ from king mushrooms might be my favorite

Chicken/hen of the woods ‘pulled pork’ tacos are excellent (oyster mushrooms also work)

Lion’s mane ‘crab cakes’

Combined with Beanis for blackbean and mushroom burgers

Also just, in soup. Minestrone is a classic, but I’ve been liking as a side some miso soup with just a bit of diced button mushrooms and seaweed

I can’t directly relate. I strongly prefer ‘person with schizophrenia’ to ‘schizophrenic’ (or similar, worse terms). I feel that, first and foremost, I am a person, as are all people, neurodivergent or not.

But also, I support you in being referred to as you want. I don’t need to relate to your experience to just, refer to you as an autist (when I would need to refer to it at all), after you tell me you prefer that.

I’m sorry she’s cringe. Its not my fault (its the writers)

Gale is the fucking worst. He talks like a redditor. Probably only Astarion is worse.

Karlach I guess I can see people liking; to me its less the character, and more the writing. She isn’t sold to me; she comes off not like a person, but like a new player’s first barbarian trying to fight for ~power and love and violence!. I can’t take her seriously, she just feel like a tumblr post made live or something.

Ugh, yeah, that tracks.

#1 complaint (and, really only, aside from bugs) about BG3 is just how unlikable every single companion is. And yeah, they do got big Morrigan energy, for worse.

I find it very helpful, for managing stress, anxiety, fear.

But like, just because I find it helpful, doesn’t mean it’s going to work for you. Different people find different coping mechanisms helpful, and I think part of learning to manage neurodivergance and mental illness is building up a suite of things that work for you be they coping mechanisms, medicine or treatments, or whatever.

Thank you for the answer! That makes it a lot more clear what’s going on; the impression I got from the marketing material was kind of all over the place and made it seem a “do everything” mess.

Probably not the game for me? Sounds like I might like 2/5s of the core gameplay, but also probably will mildly to strongly dislike another 2/5s. I like puzzles and platforming, but I find hack and slash combat extremely boring. I do like that there’s no ‘timed social links’ like in Personal; one of like 3 major reasons why I don’t like those games.

I agree a lot. To me, I’d describe it as a ‘head in the clouds’ kind of feeling. Like there’s some long tether between ‘feelings’ in the visceral sense, and the conceptualizing and wandering thoughts of my ‘conscious mind’. And any big emotional change feels like its distant and takes time to ‘work its way up’, not to mention just the various impressions that I just don’t feel emotions on connect to reality the same way others do. One of the little things that is just kind of petty but always makes me feel alien, is I just don’t like most media. I don’t like movies or TV, I don’t like the vast majority of music.

I also definitely have that ‘veiled third eye’ feeling, or the sense of catching snippets of sounds or sights that are hidden or Important. But its worth noting, I have schizophrenia, so I know what that part of it is all about. But a big part of those kinds of things for me isn’t just the hallucination of the sense, but the delusion that it is real and important, the same way some thoughts feel profound and correct, and I gotta recognize and ground or check in with others.

I don’t especially get what kind of game it is from its trailer. I glossed over it because of this when I saw it on Steam.

It looks kinda open world hack and slash-y? Which are two genres I mostly hate. But also, it has some mention of puzzles, which I do like. But its hard for me to tell “what is the thing you spend most of your time doing” while looking at its press material.

Star control 2 fucks. Highly recommend. Basically a proto Mass Efect, but still better thannit in a few ways (if obviously much less ‘cinematic’ and character driven).
