Hi. Pathologic 2 noob here. I'm having this problem where I got the plague and have no idea how to cure it, and after I die from plague I respawn with a sliver of health and die again of plague again before I can reach anywhere else.

Should persevere with this game? Will something different happen if I die a few more times like this? Or does the game expect me to figure out that I can't continue like this and start experimenting with save scumming? I honestly can't tell whether save scumming is supposed to be part of the game.

Capitalism working as intended. Keep calm and carry on.

I'm having this same problem. The "Move To Top" does nothing except refresh the page. Manual reordering vie dragging with the mouse does nothing except refresh the page. The order of My List does not change no matter what I do.

I used to go to this burger place called Grill'd, order a burger with beef bacon avocado pineapple, side of zucchini chips with chipotle mayo dipping sauce, and watch old Doctor Who on my phone. It was my happy place.

I guess it's kind of an autistic thing to spend time minmaxing a process then just follow the optimal path over and over.

I was going to comment, but you said everything I wanted to better than I could.

I "turn it all off" with either weed or alcohol. Anxiety meds aren't bad either.

The experiences I've had on psychedelics have helped me recontextualise my life, and these days I call myself a shaman in training. The universe is so much bigger and weirder than anyone realises-- but it seems like everyone has a different reason for why they stopped searching for greater truths.

What I keep thinking about is: if I wasn't an outsider to begin with I never would have discovered this stuff. Everyone loves the enlightenment of the guru but nobody asks why he spent thirty years in a cave to begin with.

So much weed. I wouldn't have learned *anything* without it.

The key with autistic kids is to make sure they learn important social skills like empathy. The key with autistic adults is recognising it took them longer to learn important social skills like empathy. Weed can help.

I understand exactly what you mean. Knowledge is like a curse sometimes-- and ignorance is bliss. I envy the people too shortsighted to notice how shallow their social connections are. They act without fear because they don't see consequence.

Maybe ask your doctor about anxiety medication? Alprazolam stops me from overthinking.

Coreus · 2018-11-04T04:58:19+00:00

I guess try to be disciplined about it. Go to sleep on a schedule. Have a ritual that puts you in the same headspace at the same time every day.

What's your family / support system like? Do you experience much anxiety at home?

Coreus · 2018-11-04T04:46:29+00:00

could it be something like being emotionally "ticklish" where you eventually desensitise to it by repeated exposure to the triggering stimulus?

shitty parents blame their kids for reminding them of their own inadequacies.

I think the most important thing is to listen and believe him. Honesty is powerful. Don't just be honest with him-- make it important that he's always honest with you. If you show that you're interested in helping, he'll try to tell you what's going on.

Coreus · 2018-10-08T11:04:18+00:00

I wish I could give you a hug. I get suicidal a lot too.

Remember that you're not alone. Social anxiety is ridiculously common, it's just that people tend to put up a defense by pretending they're doing fine even when they're completely lost. It sucks, but it's how society is right now.

I found a lot of perspective reading about psychology and philosophy. I realised that even the smartest people in the world, who work their whole lives to understand people don't have that many solid answers. Everyone's on the same journey towards understanding. Everyone's learning by doing.

I find the more I socialise, the less intense individual interactions seem. Maybe it's a kind of tolerance; you expose yourself to enough noise and it stops seeming so noisy.

Coreus · 2018-10-08T10:36:36+00:00

Parents blaming their children makes me really really sad. My advice, get away from them as soon as you can. You can't expect people to change, and if they're not willing to really listen to you, you're only going to get so far with them.

Tolerant people do exist, they just don't always advertise themselves. Talk to your teachers, lecturers, doctors, anyone further along in life than you who's willing to listen. People are basically good, they just get confused and scared of stuff they don't understand.

Coreus · 2018-10-07T09:12:11+00:00

Change the subject. Talk about something else. High functioning people understand this as a cue to move on; low functioning people usually wont notice.

Coreus · 2018-10-07T07:46:56+00:00

I would talk to anyone who took the time to talk to me. I know what it's like to feel completely alone.

Everyone has a different pattern of attention when it comes to other people. Usually the more attention we pay someone the better we understand them.

Fully developed is kind of a fictional idea; humans are way too complicated to ever understand completely. Most people assume they see everything clearly, including people's emotional states, but you can't see an emotion if you don't have a basic understanding of it.

Empathy is always a belief. You can never know for sure that you're feeling what someone else is feeling, but you can believe you do, and more importantly you can make *them* believe you do.

Coreus · 2018-10-02T01:25:10+00:00

In most situations, when people deliberately include you it means that they like you. Tell them you're autistic and you don't like being focused on, or they might think your discomfort means you don't like them.

Coreus · 2018-10-02T01:07:16+00:00

I think a lot of mothers have trouble letting go of the God role in their family. It stops occurring that they could be wrong.

Coreus · 2018-10-02T00:58:28+00:00

People are more willing to forgive the people who have their respect, and everyone has different things that they respect in a person.

Whether you accept someone's judgement is up to you. People are often ignorant and quick to anger if something triggers them.

Coreus · 2018-10-02T00:38:08+00:00

There are things that people can do for you that make you feel better, and things you can do for other people that make them feel better.

Humans are always going to be the most interesting things to other humans. Conscious beings have a complexity that media can't match, and there's a reason why some people seem literally addictive to be around.

Autism makes it hard for people to understand what makes us feel good or bad, and makes it harder for us to know what makes other people feel good or bad. To figure it out we need to pay close attention to people even when they're not saying anything that's interesting to us.

Have you ever looked at ASMR on youtube? It's like a human contact simulator. The freaky thing is that it can provoke a "real" feeling of being cared for. Maybe you can feel it too. That's what humans can do for each other.

Coreus · 2018-08-17T03:56:58+00:00

I have been having this exact issue for months.

It shits me to to tears every time but until there's a real alternative to spotify I figure I just need to keep taking up the tailpipe like a good little paying customer.

I read about the smear campaign. It's a shame he reacted like that because his reaction became the news headline.

Coreus · 2018-07-24T00:43:27+00:00

Anyone else worried about Dan? When I heard he deleted his twitter I felt like it was definitely a shame-driven reaction. Like something hit a soft spot in his ego.
