The former could be blunted emotions (you just don’t feel feelings strongly), could be alexithymia (difficulty deciphering one’s emotions that are felt, commonly co-occurs with Autism) and you do or don’t like it, could be both, I could be wrong and it could be something entirely different.

The latter sounds like flat affect (you don’t express emotions strongly externally)

This is why blocking instances and defederation

“The sacrifices made by Tomoharu Saito highlight the often-overlooked human side of game development”

That’s such a toxicly positive spin on saying “Japanese game industry work-life balance was so bad that it literally killed people”

calling furries wrong opinions in a Linux community

That’s a bold move Cotton let’s see if it pays off

Just go back to rocks on a scale we’ll be fine

No actually we would probably be really sweet to each other and understanding. I am not naturally very competitive or hostile.

Lmao k bye Proton

Really love the Game boy color version, had no idea they had a Game boy advance version, going to try this later! Thank you for sharing

Super Hang-On is a comfort game for me, if I need a pick up and play racer I often choose that

If I wanna get more technical while staying retro I’d play Gran Turismo 2

If I’m in a “I need the arcade experience” mood I’ll play Daytona USA

Thank you for helping host a less awful internet :)

I hit the point where I just throw on Fedora and call it a day

I also have a LFS VM I look at every few months and wonder if I want to do something with it

Modern games: requires $300+ game console or a $300+ GPU to get 30 FPS

Retro games: runs on your grandma’s Dell Pavilion still running Windows XP that she refuses to stop using, gets 50/60 depending on region

Saw this one before, the message is good but I dislike the use of a box at all here because the analogy is still weird. I like to think of it as an equalizer, traits are at different volumes and gains like the different frequency ranges of sound going through a sound system simultaneously. (Think bar chart for alternate example.) Different traits manifest differently, i.e. perseverance, stimming, sensory sensitivity, monotropism, special interests, etc.

Tangentially on the same topic, I dislike the term “on the spectrum” because this article’s reasoning. You are not sitting atop a one dimensional number line. You ARE the spectrum, and your spectrum “settings” differ from that of others, though only to a certain extent (or otherwise Autism would not exist)

All hail the beeps and all hail the boops

They literally want bloodshed and the world to burn

This is conservative vengeance

And everyone is going to suffer from it

Piracy is a service delivery failure

While it won’t stop everyone, if that game were freely available I’m sure there would be several less folks emulating them right now

If it wasn’t for those rascally penguins I would be flat broke trying to afford the latest system requirements for Windows 12 or a mediocre MacBook instead of a $120 5 year old Dell Latitude, how dare they!!

Poor Tux, it’s a rough life
