FTL for me

Suzie? Is this about the D Club??
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Not saying you ARE definitely neurodivergent, but difficulty with jokes and sarcasm to the extent you’re describing is not neurotypical behavior. Basically, no, the behavior is not normal, it’s atypical.
Regarding your longer comment, having rigid, unconventional, self-made rules is another behavior I see in a lot of the neurodivergent individuals I work with. Again, not saying you definitely are neurodivergent, but these are not neurotypical behaviors
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Not exactly neurotypical behavior, particularly if it’s all the time. Working with the neurodivergent community, difficulty sensing jokes and sarcasm is something I see a lot. Just worked with a child who was pretty distraught with all the April fools jokes going on with their peers and not being able to tell what’s real or not

I’m in South East Asia, seen them in different countries here, mostly in malls but even in my current apartment building. Feels very Cyberpunk even just walking by and hearing it.

- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 2 months ago:
Makes me think of my younger days hanging out on 4chan, thinking I was having ironic, satirical laughs with my fellow anons until eventually realizing most of them actually believed what they were saying
- Comment on Anon has a busy day 2 months ago:
When already planning to quit again after a gacha relapse a few years back, I remember thinking “I’ll wait till this event is done”, but then the next event starts, then the next, then the next and they all overlap at least a little and I didn’t want to miss out.
These games made me feel like it was important " work", that I was building up to something and that mastery and improvement was as easy as showing up and doing dailies.
Yeah, dark patterns in gaming absolutely suck
- Comment on Anon has a busy day 2 months ago:
At my worst I was doing three Gacha games and it was killing me. I had to quit and it’s genuinely hard to stay out seeing how fun some of these new Gacha games look. Can’t imagine doing this many and not hating your life

My first time hearing the word “biodegradable” as a kid was after asking my dad why he threw his cigarette butts into the water when we were fishing.

- Comment on Thanks mom, I don't want any 4 months ago:
Yeah, people do savory waffles all the time, it’s just waffles with a mushroom and tuna soup, kinda think it would taste good? Like a savory pastry maybe? Then again I’m also the kind of deviant who loves olives.

Ah man, they make great E-ink android tablets… Was just thinking of upgrading my Nova 3 to the new Note 4C. That’s a shame.
- Comment on They live among us 4 months ago:
I used to be like this but then started pre-deciding items that would be just plastered with stickers so I can just buy whatever cool stickers I want, knowing there’s a place for them.
My water bottle and laptop for example are now covered in stickers
- Comment on Japan appears to be confused about Christmas 4 months ago:
Thanks for the background! For those who don’t want to click:
This claim is mostly false. The photograph was actually part of an artwork by Yoshio Itagaki in 2005, which in itself is a commentary satirizing the urban legend of a Japanese department store misinterpreting Christmas. The photograph has been used out of context and spread alongside the claim it aimed to critique.
Basically a Japanese artist creating satire I guess?
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 4 months ago:
I don’t think I had the timer, I don’t actually remember there being a choice for one. I think I’ll give it another go until I get a few more upgrades, in retrospect I might not have gotten very far at all, I have no recollection of coolant lines. Thanks!
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 4 months ago:
Yeah, that’s how I like to play in general as well, yet… I guess maybe the core gameplay just isn’t for me. I might give it another go and see how it is after getting more upgrades though. Thanks for the response!
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 4 months ago:
I started this game but got bored a couple hours in and I can’t really explain why. In theory it felt like a game I should really like but maybe something about the pacing? Do you think it takes a while to get really good and maybe I should try putting more time in or is the way it is at the start pretty much the same the whole way through?
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 4 months ago:
Yeah, for me I always end up starting a new colony after getting to rockets. It’s my brain that can’t keep up with the colony past that point
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 4 months ago:
I asked a similar question quite a while back. What ended up feeling good for me from the recommendations was Oxygen Not Included surprisingly. I thought it would be too much but just trying to figure things out on my own was fun, and I found myself falling asleep to thoughts of plans for my colony. Surprisingly addictive and chill, maybe because I could pause and think anytime things started going wrong.
But I also gotta recommend Outer Wilds if you haven’t played it already. Exploration, mystery solving in a chill solar system environment. Go in blind is the best advice for that game but I found it super chill and relaxing.

He was raised by an Indian family in Malaysia. Really fun teacher, he could switch between different accents very easily and naturally, but an Indian accent was his default way of speaking
- Comment on Anon has a unique origin story 5 months ago:
I had a professor who looked Chinese but spoke with an Indian accent. Similar story. Made sense he got into linguistics

- Comment on Is china as bad as america makes it out to be? 6 months ago:
I have family in China, I have family in the US, and I live in neither. Your average person just goes about their lives no matter where. You can be a political activist and go about your business in the US but you can’t in China (and some other countries I’ve spent a few years in). Where I’m at, I can get spinal laser surgery and pay absolutely nothing out of pocket and well, US healthcare is memed the world over. Different countries, different worries.
Governments and politics is one thing, but getting by as average people, I feel we all just do our best no matter where we are.
- Comment on Europa Clipper Launch Live Stream (Liftoff at 12:06 PM ET) 6 months ago:
Didn’t realize this was happening right now! Thanks for sharing.
Nice clean launch, can’t wait to see what kind of data it collects. Been hearing for years that Europa has the potential for life and stuff, wonder what Clipper will be able to tell us about that
- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 6 months ago:
Yeah, hard agree with what they’re saying and like the fact that they’re delaying prison architect 2 in light of that.
Lately and because some early access games have fight my eye, I’ve been thinking about how I don’t have as much time for gaming and want the complete experience right away. If I play a game before it’s fixed or before all the content is out, most likely I’ll never play the game at it’s best because I’ve moved on already.
