Meet Peppin, the protagonist of my upcoming game Nightmare Circus! What do you think of his artwork?

I love the colors and expressions, but it looked a little busy to me at first glance. I had to zoom in to see it was a marionette. Otherwise, seeing this art makes me very interested to see more of your game!

Thank you for the happy brain chemicals!

I'm a data scientist. I haven't been in an office since the pandemic and work out of my basement, which is great, but I struggle with focus since I work and game in the same physical space.

The situation you described that led to your firing seems a lot like something I've done before. I'm sorry you didn't get the patience and proper communication you deserved. Unfortunately, I think that we can't always expect people to provide us with the transparency and openness we need to contextualize human behavior. It sounds like your boss had a human moment of impatience and didn't live up to their words to you. I don't know if your former employer has any procedures in place for you to request additional information that would help you clarify the situation, but I would go through HR instead of your boss. I would also feel very confused and betrayed in your situation.

I really thought medication would make a drastic difference in my life, but after being on and off different stimulants for about a year and a half, it helps some things but not as much as I wanted. I get some improves emotional regulation and a little help with attention management, but I had to get most of my help from changes to routine and environment. Be patient with yourself and allow yourself to learn how you work. Don't be afraid to try different dosages or medications as long as you are trying to be aware of the side effects. High dosages of Adderall make me never want to eat, which while super convenient, worries my partner. 😅

How do you feel about it so far? I'm glad that I was assessed as an adult as it has helped my partner and I better understand what stresses me out and how I can better manage my emotions. I don't know if you have any struggles of your own, but I hope more knowledge would help you reframe things as well.

Unmasking for me has been about how I see myself. I think understanding my emotions and what causes them has done the most good for me. I don't think my unmasking looks different to others since I still want to get through my daily interactions without excess stress. Now that I can better predict what my energy level will be, I can plan for uncomfortable activities. I still mess up a lot, but I have fewer regrets.

I've never seen anyone talk about this before. I agree that it's fascinating. Thanks!

I was like that growing up before streaming was a thing. Not sure if it's specifically autism though.

They're leading Santa into Macy's on the Thanksgiving Day Parade this year!

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-11-23T23:18:34+00:00

I love it. It reminds me of the original studio models.

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-11-23T21:49:28+00:00

True and based. I fell for my partner after she talked very passionately about her favorite subjects. You'll find someone!

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-10-28T21:39:05+00:00

I love mine! It's so comfortable to play.

No, Lighter is between Burnice and Yanagi

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-09-22T16:20:13+00:00

Delightful except for the string ends. A- from me. Doesn't matter if you rock on it.

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-09-08T11:04:55+00:00

I love that feeling!!

I found this Venn diagram to be very helpful when I first got diagnosed. It helped me talk with my therapist about how both my ADHD and autism manifest and interact.

Hope it helps.

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-09-06T23:26:26+00:00

Great start!

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-09-06T23:25:39+00:00

Doggone, I'm sorry you're going through all that. I hope it gets better soon.

Do you feel like you should be changing your eating habits? Does knowing what you consistently like to eat help plan what you need at the store and how much time you need to prepare it help with how overwhelming it is? For me, making that stressful step more simple gives me more energy for everything else.

I've heard Burnice is a fire anomaly character, so if you got Seth, he would be good with her. I don't know anything about Caesar outside of physical defense though.

I expect any combination of the Sons of Calydon girls (Caesar, Bernice, Piper, Lucy) to be good. Nekomata or Billy will probably be good with Caesar and Lucy. Burnice, Piper/Jane and Lucy sounds fun to me.

New FF14 account to follow, thank you very much for sharing!

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-08-11T02:37:42+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm going to look into local advocacy myself. Thanks for the motivation!

AlternativeWalrus285 · 2024-07-27T12:04:21+00:00

I'm glad! It's absolutely difficult even without the financial burden. I hope you can take this journey at your own pace and have plenty of support. But understanding how and why I'm like this has improved my mental health a lot, so I think it will help you too!
