It’s exciting for someone. And it’s not the end user.

Exactly.

It’s not nerves, but ligaments and tendons that are linked, in basic terms.

- Comment on How do you moderate yourself? 11 months ago:
Autism is where I think that this get difficult, and where I think a lot of the responses might miss.
Gaming is really seems to be a ‘specisl interest’, especially if it’s one game in particular. And taking that away without any replacement isn’t good, since it’s what your brain needs to self regulate. It’s not so much an addiction as nicotine or alcohol can be, but more like food, or hydration. You need a method of regulation.
If you’re worried about the effects of gaming specifically, then the only thing is to find another special interest that grips you in the way that games/that game does. It sounds like you have an idea already on what that might be. All I can say is that you should try and throw yourself into it head first!

- Comment on How to deal with annoying co-worker 1 year ago:
Don’t recall diagnosing him anywhere, but you go ahead and read what you want to read so that you can create a straw man.
I said that it’s a possibility and therefore should be approached with the care that entails.
But your solution, reading your other response is to talk to the person. Which, if you had read the original post, you would have realised they have already tried to. And their response to that detailed.
So what do you propose? Because if the person who is annoyed by the co-worker shouldn’t take time separate from their team to be able to complete aspects of their work, then the alternative is to…? The idea that a TL/manager whatever cannot trust their team to be able to leave them to work without them is obscene in itself. I guess the entire place falls apart when they have to go into meetings or trips etc.
I’m sure you’ll decide to read whatever you want from the above as well, and you do that. I’ll leave you to it.

There’s a sentence in this that every single reply to this has either ignored or missed, and that’s the part where you think he’s autistic.
From the small snapshot of his life and personality that you’ve offered it does seem that he shows some pretty clear signs. It may be that he doesn’t even realise. I know that I’ve very recently come to realise that I’m obviously autistic and I’m very much an adult. How everyone around me throughout my entire life missed it/didn’t realise is absolutely boggling.
Whether he’s diagnosed or not shouldn’t change that it should be handled with the appropriate sensitivities and equality policies as if he was autistic. But that’s entirely up to your work place and it’s culture.
You all need to remember that while you ‘only’ have to be around then during the times you’re around him, he has always got to deal with being autistic, whether he knows he is or not. And from the sounds of things he may not be very good at masking, which is both good and bad for him. As a person who seems to be neurotypical, you live in a world that is designed for neurotypical people. He isn’t and doesn’t. Imagine being forced to live in a world where you need wheelchair ramps, but there are none provided - anywhere. He needs mental ramps.
You are more than entitled and allowed to not want to deal with him or be around him, please don’t take this as saying that expect you to do that. But there needs to be sensitivity and an understanding of his struggles. If he is autistic, he cannot help the way he approaches situations or how he feels when you rebuff him. To him being told he’s annoying is clearly something he’s taking very, very personally. Take it from someone who is also autistic, it’s horrible. I feel like my entire existence is being rejected, and it sticks and I ruminate on it for hours sometimes days.
So speak to HR first, see what their equality policy is, and what options that they have. Hopefully the company culture and policy recognises that a diagnosis isn’t always possible or needed. And take it from there. Ultimately I think that some of the responses about finding time where you can separate yourself from him is the most likely solution.
- Comment on You teleport into the last game world you played. What happens next? 1 year ago:
I would like to think I would be some kind of PMC trying to survive in a quarantined zone after mass evacuation. The Russian government has cordoned off the area as a result of some kind of conspiracy by a secretive ‘Umbrella Corp’ style mega corp and has stranded the Russian and Western PMCs that were caught in the area when it closed.
But in reality I would be a Scav and almost immediately killed by some lvl70 Kappa chad.

It’s so bizarre when people try and double down and put words in other’s mouths rather than just fuck off.

Froggy prophet.

…that is what I said? Weird that you would effectively just repeat me.
- Comment on why doesn't Egypt open its borders to Gaza? 1 year ago:
Ryan McBeth has done a fairly succinct video on it.
It’s very high level and skips a lot of nuance, but you get the idea.

2nd place in a competition of 30odd teams made up of the best players from each nation around the world.
We didn’t lose, we came 2nd. We should be damn proud of those women and the entire team behind them.

I am so sorry! It seems that my app’s darkmode doesn’t seem to distinguish between links and standard text very well.
Judging by the amount of upvotes my comment got and noone corrected me before you I assume this is a common issue (or my app is one of the more common ones).
- Comment on UK to retain EU safety mark in latest Brexit climbdown 1 year ago:
Common man, you can’t just come along and counter a claim with ‘no it’s not’ on a platform like this for a topic that isn’t so clearly common sense.
