  • Spices too

    Jump

  • All yums.

  • Roguelike vs Roguelite - what's the difference?

    Jump

  • New characters are resources too. The word doesn't have to be limited to spendable currencies like "lumber and gems".

  • auditory overstimulation (when shopping)

    Jump

  • I wear my normal earbuds but just don't turn them on. Blocks out enough of the high pitches but I can still hear what's going on.

  • How do you get along with fellow autistic people?

    Jump

  • I get along with Autistics better, but mainly because we cope with social situations in a similar way.

    In my case, we play a lot of board games and video games. We can socialize without requiring smalltalk or eye contact. If there is no such activity planned, we don't get together, and nobody is offended.

  • I wrote a guide on how to teach Root! (or at least how I teach it)

    Jump

  • This is really cool! My teach is usually a very similar order to what you list, but its nice to have something like this written down. I will probably steal this.

    For the Woodland Alliance, I usually deacribe them as "playing Pandemic, as the disease". You are spreading around everywhere, and can pop up suddenly to devastate someone's clearing if they aren't keeping you in check.

  • Looking for something new to read after The Expanse

    Jump

  • For sci-fi, one I haven't seen mentioned here yet is Red Rising.

    Kind of an Enders Game meets Hunger Games in the first book, but quickly expands into a solar-system wide war with lots of intrigue, star-wars-like tech, and amazing characters.

  • How is academia for autistic people?

    Jump

  • I got my PhD in engineering just fine. Had to push myself to make a few connections and meet regularly with my advisor, etc., but doing research was really well-suited to my hyper-focus tendencies.

    However the opportunities I had tutoring/teaching did not appeal to me at all. I pulled it off, and I enjoyed sharing my knowledge and being the "expert" in a room full of freshman students, but I would be highly stressed all morning in anticipation, and then out of commission for the rest of the day.

    So, I opted to move into industry mainly to remove the expectation of teaching regular courses and the dependency on networking to successfully claim grant funding and collaborate with other academics. (Also money)

    Several autistic-spectrum friends also left academia but stayed in research in some form, and are doing really well. A couple stayed in academia. One is doing great, and the other basically destroyed his marriage due to the stress.

    Probably depends a lot on the specific responsibilities of your chosen academic field as well as your individual point on the spectrum.

  • Friendica (open source facebook alternative) releases version 2023.12 with the ability to curate feeds and more

    Jump

  • Mmmmm.... SoakCenter.

  • Could we add alternativeto.net to the sidebar?

    Jump

  • I am really dumb. The link you shared doesn't show any table like you describe, and no links to the other "parts" out of 13. Can you help me figure this out? The part I can see is pretty helpful!

  • Former religious lemmings, what made you quit religion or stop being a believer?

    Jump

  • Pretty recently.

    When the majority of people I grew up respecting decided to use their religion as an excuse to participate in or support a terrorist attack, a lot of things started unraveling pretty quickly. Turns out none of them actually cared about what Jesus wanted, but rather what that news station said.

    With so many of my old friends and church leaders telling me hate was the answer, the cognitive dissonance didn't have any ground to stand on anymore.

  • Let's Play AQ-10 • I know how to tell if someone listening to me is getting bored

    Jump

  • I can't tell, so I just assume everyone is always bored of me all the time.

  • Early PS5 Black Friday Deals Have Officially Started - IGN

    Jump

  • These sales are for the original Ps5 model, right? Not the "slim"?

    Is there any major reason to choose one over the other besides the size?

    Any FOSS todo lists with time-blocking calendar feature?

  • Bounty system for FOSS Github projects?

    Jump

  • Well, I'm using GitHub. I don't know what to tell you.

  • App to combine similar photos by choosing best parts from each

    Jump

  • Is it available right now? What do they call this feature so I can search for it?

  • Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition - Announcement Trailer | PS5 and PC (Epic and Steam early 2024)

    Jump

  • This game came out in 2022.

  • Good STL/3D model archival software?

    Jump

  • Oh interesting. Do you know if there is a way to get Windows Explorer to support tags for files so they can be searched? I know there's a roundabout way to do it through the properties menu for specific file types but perhaps there is a better way?

  • Are there any notable individuals who began life nonverbal but learned how to communicate orally and became successful?

    Jump

  • Whoosh.

  • On Toxicity within Our Community and Lemmy in General

    Jump

  • One thing I've started to notice in here is a ND person will make some joke based on typical Autistic dry humor (overly literal or pragmatic, etc.) or just putting a light-hearted spin on the situation, and some NT will swoop in to attack that person for "gatekeeping" or "mocking", not realizing this was an ND attempting some inside humor directed at fellow NDs.

    Feels bad finally finding a community where we can safely share our traumas and quirks and insights, and then "allies" feel the need to attack and berate us when we're just Autistic and just socializing in our weird way.

    Please be nice and don't shame our odd humor. We're struggling already as-is.

    For example, a light-hearted ND joke here, immediately attacked by someone who doesn't realize this community is exactly where that kind of humor is very common: https://communick.news/comment/316930

  • Recommendations for short, dialogue-heavy/description-light audiobooks with lively narrators?

    Jump

  • If you haven't already, look up Graphic Audio. They make a lot of popular books into audio dramas. It felt a bit cheesy to me the first time but it's grown on me. I find them often on Hoopla or at my library.

    "We're Alive" was a pretty fun audio drama that I think started as a podcast, but they edited into more seamless "books". Available as a freebie if you have Audible.

    "Impact Winter" is another Audible freebie I think, about Vampires.

    Alternatively, you may be interested in the Magnus Archives. It's a podcast with a short horror story in each episode, but all tied together by the researcher who narrates it. Eventually some connections form between the stories but each one is pretty short so you don't need to be super dedicated to the whole podcast if you just want a few stories.
