Just a sanity check here but… yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they’ve forgotten a thing you talked about… until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?
This happens with me and my on-the-autism-spectrum friend who also does it. We somehow managed to have a lot of the same traits while being entirely differently neurodivergent.
Our conversations are very ehm… ‘dynamic’ as we have to constantly loop back to point B that got lost somewhere in the path to point E and also have you considered point M?
I’m genuinly curious what build people prefer to play as in this game. I have currently tried a sandevistan + mantis blades, a katana/throwing knife build and a netrunner build. I prefer the katana and throwing knife as of now.
First playthrough did a stealthy netrunner / silenced pistols Cool/Int/Tech Build which was effective enough, but didn’t hold my interest all the way to the end of the game as it was just a bit detached from the action.
Current new playthrough is basically just a Mass Effect Vanguard with super high mobility, mantis blades, shotguns and some hacking for crowd control. Reflex/Body/Int build and having WAY more fun because the movement and damage potential is so ludicrous. Was tempted by the Sandevistan but wasn’t prepared to give up hacking completely.
ETA: The fun in this build is probably best summarised by this text I sent my friend (who is also replaying) immediately after it happened yesterday:
“LET’S KICK THIS INTO HIGH GEAR!!” screamed the Tyger Claw, as I knee slid past him at 1000 mph and blasted him in the nards with my aggressively yellow shotgun.
This isn’t necessarily the case - they have a wild variety of coat colours and markings, ear floppiness is variable. They tend to have slightly wider snoots than their wild cousins.
lemmy deleted my completely finished post right before posting so let’s try this again. I find it so annoying that I have to sugarcoat everything. I feel like I’m coddling people. I understand being polite to strangers, but it’s so annoying when my family, who knows I’m autistic, gets upset at my bluntness. I’ve...
To add to this, starting with ‘can you not’ is automatically framing it to people who are bothered by this as a negative interaction because the starting premise is negative (‘don’t do the thing’).
If you reframe it in the opposite way (‘do the thing’) with a ‘please’ to soften it a bit you’ll probably have more luck, eg:
‘Please can we keep the dogs untangled?’ (‘We’ also helps here because you’re assuming some of the responsibility for keeping the dogs untangled rather than it sounding like you’re pointing a finger of blame which will get people’s backs up pretty quickly)
Not autistic but worked in complaint management for a long time and learned how to more effectively get people on side. Also have ADHD and speak without thinking a lot and it helps to understand why whatever I just blurted out annoyed someone!
That sounds so frustrating! Lots of inconsiderate dog owners out there. I don’t know if this is a thing where you are, but we have a thing where a yellow collar or yellow ribbon indicates a dog who needs space. Now that may not actually be true for your dogs but it might encourage some more clued-up dog owners to give you a wider berth. Doesn’t solve the overall thing you were asking about but might help a bit with dog related issues.
ETA: ‘Please can you help me to…’ would work better for this as well.
Hello all, looking for any recommendations for using up holiday time. Looking for your top tips on day trips (from London) as well as like weekend / several day trips to either the UK or abroad. I’m quite into visiting cities and taking in its history. Thanks in advance!
If you’re into gaming at all, the National Videogame Museum in Nottingham was worth the trip - we went when it was fairly new so I’d imagine it’s been expanded a bit since.
I don’t get why everyone loves Andrade so much, at all.
Bray Wyatt left unattended in any promotion would go about as well as Broken Matt did in pandemic-era AEW (saying that as both a Bray and Matt enjoyer).
Completely agree on Keith Lee. Same goes for Ciampa!
Every time I gaze upon the night sky, I always look for the Pleiades. When I was very young, it was the first thing that I had questioned when looking at the stars. It was faint, but I could see it. I had no idea what I was looking at, or if anyone knew what it was. It was difficult to research as a young child in the early...
Cassiopeia - i read somewhere as a kid (no idea where) that from Proxima Centauri, the Sun would appear as an extra zig in the zigzag and was immediately obsessed. It’s also really easy to find as a big ‘W’ in the sky.
Is anyone here using the xbox series s? Is it worth buying currently? I read a lot of articles about the series s being weak and not performing well… Recently they released a 1tb version of the series s and that has gotten me interested in it....
I’m using an S while my X is off for repair - it’s struggling with some things quite a bit (really doesn’t like Borderlands 3) but it’s been great with older titles and things that have smart delivery like Sleeping Dogs remaster, Riders Republic, Battlefront 2.
Titles such as Overwatch and Sea of Thieves run fine but look appreciably worse than they did on the X.
It’s also working perfectly fine as a media machine.
It’s doing enough to keep me entertained but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the X.
Hope that helps!
ETA: Haven’t had any problems with the hardware breaking since the 360 era (which was VERY bad) - current problem with the X was caused by a literal lightning strike so overall that is still the case.
