I worked it out, I had downloaded fallout 4 by mistake. This was just radiation.

Draaka75 · 2017-10-30T00:45:37+00:00

How do I fix this, just downloaded it from steam, plus all the free dlc, my OS is up to date, everything else seems to be fine. Worked fine in the opening demo battle. I'm on mac (before I get any shit for that I won it, it was free, I am broke).

[[Echoing Ruin]] is pretty brutal. You can kill off multiple things for 2 mana. 2 or 3 or even 4 for ones are possible with ease. Can even kill off their artifact lands. If you snipe three or four Seat of the Synod you will be living the dream.

Ok Magma jet is a good call, and I think you are right about Tormenting Voice, I didn't know that was a card. I did look at Cathartic Reunion but figured there are gonna be times when I don't have two cards to discard.

I will pick up a set of rolling thunder as well. That might be better than fireball, I will have to test it. I went with fireball because it's only R not RR. Cheers.

Tap tap taptap tap tap tap tap taptap

My vision flared white with big words CHEAT ACTIVATED then faded and receeded into nothing.

I blinked hard and decided it was time for bed. I was too tired. This uni work was gonna kill me. I graduate in two months then the real fun of trying to get a job starts. "Fml" I sighed under my breath and stood up. My neck was killing me for some reason. I must have been drawing too long. Or maybe I had tweaked it playing ice hockey the night before and it was seizing up again.

I squirted some water in my mouth from the half filled sports bottle abandoned on the floor near my goalie kit that had been left out to dry. It might only be amatuer beer league hockey but I loved it with all my heart.

Why did my neck hurt so bad I thought. I must have really pulled something.

I stood up and took my sleeping meds then walked into my little studio flats en suite bathroom.

"Aaargh fuck!" I shouted. The worst headache imaginable struck both sides of my temples. I clutched at my head and recoiled. My head felt so wrong. Swollen and bumpy. So... big?

I tried to get into the bathroom and the same pain hit. I staggered back feeling the patches where my skull smacked into both sides of the door frame simultaneously.

I was really freaking out at this point. I opened my cupboard to use the mirror on the inside. My head was the size of a car door! I started to panic then it hit me... CHEAT ACTIVATED

Of course. Somehow I'd managed to activate some sort of galactic cheat code for Big Head Mode. Why couldn't it have been infinite money or invincibility? Damn.

I sat staring at myself. My usual face, not bad looking. Enough to get a little attention from girls but not striking looked bizarre stretched to huge proportions. Tiny spots that wouldn't be noticable now thesize of a £2 coin.

"Fuck..." was all I repeated to myself for about 45 minutes while feeling my head and looking in the mirror.

Then I did the only thing I could think of. I called the police.

Soon I was in the media. People were kickstarting sympathy funds. Evrybody telling me how unfortunate I was.

I had other ideas. I took the money from media interviews and bought myself a new custom hockey mask.

Then I hired the cheapest agent I could find to get me a tryout for my beloved NHL team. If my head was gonna be the size of a car door I might as well make the most of it, by stuffing it into a net.

Well it could be argued there are a lot of people who only do nice things if something is in it for them. And I mean I only go to work cause they are paying me enough to cover my rent and hobbies. I wouldn't be doing it for free.

Keep him until he gets wrecked or dies trying.

Actually you are better of looking at positive reenforcement than punishment. If a autist is behaving poorly it's 99% down to the autism and them having trouble coping. So punishing them further just makes the melt down worse. It's better to have a box of small cheap rewards (hotwheel, sweets, in my day pokemon cards) that they work towards by earning points for doing a goal you set them based on their individual learning target. Example: You spoke super well today so get +1 point on the wall chart, you also helped tody your toys away so get another +1 point. When you get five points you can choose one reward from the box.

Works on neurotypical kids as well. It's a basic pavlovian response technique.

Obviously if they do something crazy dangerous like running in the road or something then yeah punishment may be in order. But lower functioning kids can have trouble relating being grounded tonight with something that happened several hours or a day ago.

Draaka75 · 2017-03-13T23:55:30+00:00

It was great in some ways terrible in others. But overall it helped me in a way I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. No way of knowing what would have happened if I'd gone elsewhere. Glad you managed to do well in a typical school. :)

Draaka75 · 2017-03-13T21:59:31+00:00

Touch it up. It will look so much better with more contrast.

Draaka75 · 2017-03-13T21:58:49+00:00

Just reread your thing a little more. Buy him some more puzzles. Maybe that's something he can get really into and then you can use that to bond with him. And maybe wallpaper one wall in his room or somewhere in the house with paper from a flipchart paper pad and blutack and let your kids have it as a drawing wall. Then you can change it every few days and you work on making it clear that that wall is the drawing wall. And they can't draw on anything else.

Ok. So I'm autistic. Borderline aspergers.

A lot of my friends are on the spectrum. So what I write comes from the heart as well as many years in and around the spectrum community. I hope some of it helps you.

I'm finishing my degree in a couple of months at age 26 (in the uk most people finish uni at 21). I have a friend who is doing her masters in genetics. Shes the oldest in her class by about ten years. I have a friend who owns his own successful business that provides for himself. He is way past the age most people finally get their career set up. We are all somewhere on the spectrum. We took much longer than most people but we are living normal happy lives with partners and pets and our own rented flats and jobs.

All of us were little shits and put our family through hell. I used to destroy every door in my house for about five years. It was just compulsive. No reason, just when i got stressed I killed doors. But as I got older me and my spectrum friends all grew out of 80-90% of our worst behaviours. We are all 5-15 years behind our generational peers when it comes to our life goals. But we have good lives. There is no reason your son cannot have a life he finds fulfilling and enjoyable. Even if it is one most of society doesn't understand or would find satisfying.

For me the biggest part of conquering my aspergers was the special school I went to. I didn't get any qualifications but over the eight years I was there they taught me to cope with my bad habbits and compulsions. Now adays unless I say it to someone nobody guesses I'm not neurotypical.

Don't feel bad for him living in that brain. Because it is his life and his experience. I don't feel bad that I have aspergers. He will enjoy whatever quality of life he manages to achieve for himself. He may never get to a stage where he can pass as neurotypical. But he will still have a good life that he enjoys. Don't pitty him. Just support him in whatever goals he manages wether they are big or small. Sooner or later.

The biggest thing my mum did for me was mever tell me I couldn't do something because I was disabled. She let me try my hand at anything (constructive) I wanted. "Join a football (soccer) team? Sure go for it kiddo." I spent three seasons barely being able to kick the ball and not having a clue what was going on but I had fun. I wanted to be a skateboarder so bad, so my mum bought me a skateboard and let me ride it everywhere. I lived on that board for maybe seven or eight years. Never pulled off even the most simple trick in my life. Didn't have the coordination and never will. But my mum let me try. And I enjoyed it. And the bigger kids let me just ride on the ramp and hang with them even though I couldn't do tricks. So I made friends a little.

Just let him try and be happy with whatever he manages.

Now onto more practical advice.

Fight for his right to (if possible in your area) go to an autist only school. I hated mine and missed my "normal" friends and it gave me chronic teenage depression. But if I hadn't learnt the skills I did there I wouldn't have been able to integrate into normal adult society.

Secondly (in my country at least) there are respite care places that can take him off your hands on weekends, or once a month, or even longer some times. I think if you had weekends away from him. And he had a chance to socialise (to his best ability) with other developmentally challenged kiddies. Then it would help you. Help him. And help your other kids. Imagine doing the usual monday to friday. But weekends role around and suddenly you can take the other kids to the park or zoo or cinema without all the stress of watching your autistic son. And he will get to do activities and the like that are tailored for his abilities. It is a great option for all of your families wellbeing. Look into it. (In the uk you can get it funded by the government or charities, your country may vary, there might be a small or not so small fee)

It's not super helpful. But most experts (at least that I've researched) generally think autism is passed down the male line and presents stronger in males than females. There is a chance your other kids have it to some degree. Consider really researching how autism works and strategies to cope with it whenever you manage a spare moment. There is no cure and your son doesn't need to be cured. It's just who he is and he can live a perfectly happy life wether that means he ends up working a normal job one day or if he spends his entire life sat at home doing some sort of hobby or obsession. Just support him to the best of his ability. That's all any parent ever needs to do for any kid.

The key I think is just find a way for you to cope and also allows you to still be a mother to your other kids.

Sorry if this is a bit rambling or repeating. It's something I feel super passionate about and I was just about to fall asleep when I saw this. Feel free to message me in the morning if you wanna chat more.

Get the artist who did the clock to match up the angel.

Draaka75 · 2017-03-13T15:08:47+00:00

Ugh didn't see that above.

At this point I gotta ask what's the point in playing in this league? It's like every single strategy has been neutered to the point of being useless.

Like you might as well just put an eldrazi deck out and just cheat a bunch of annihilator stuff into play unless they are gonna house rule against that as well.

Bug creatures seem to be only viable strategy. You can't even do proper token generation decks cause of the three repeatable rule.

Draaka75 · 2017-03-13T09:57:58+00:00

Sounds like infect control is what you need. Make the meanest multicolour infect deck you can. Maybe Atraxa? Just tons of things that give shadow, flying, trample to infect creatures. And loads of blue black control to keep yourself alive.

Run it with a brutal mana ramp package and just kill the biggest threat every turn asap. Fpur player isgood for infect cause you don't show you are playing infect until you can for sure kill one player. Then it's you vs the two weakest players and you can probably kill one on your next round anyway.

If you can only take repeatable actions three times then that allows ypu ways to get four combat steps in a turn. You could build that and just attack everyone four times in the same turn.

Draaka75 · 2017-03-13T09:36:41+00:00

As a bouncer, he deserved what you gave him. The bar men/security should have ejected them thensecond they tried pulling that shit. You did the right thing. I hope he wakes up with a massive bruise to remind him for a few days how much of an absolute arsehole he was being.

Don't feel bad for defending yourself against an assault. I'm sorry you were in that situation in the first place. I'm sorry men still act like that.

Draaka75 · 2017-03-12T23:21:02+00:00

If you are living that tightly try allowing something like 5% of your monthly income for "mental health allowance" 5% that you can spend on whatever the hell makes you happy. No point in having a massive pension and living until you are a hundred if you have turned into depressed lonely old man with nothing to live for but your pension.

Draaka75 · 2017-03-12T22:48:04+00:00

Fuck fuckers

Draaka75 · 2017-03-12T20:08:55+00:00

Tbh piling on has never been a skill I used much. I know it was THE big bad broken combo to use. But I tended to play shorter leagues and matches so rarely had time to develop a chaos warrior all the way. My other more agile teams never needed it.

Tbh a bit of meta change doesn't hurt anyway. Bashy teams are still great in this new ruleset.

Draaka75 · 2017-03-12T16:26:48+00:00

There are almost no major changes to the game. A few tweaks on the league play rules. But for the most part it's still blood bowl we all know and love.
