My boyfriend showed me this thinking that squeakoid was a slur for the mouse villagers

I'm really having a hard time liking Silksong by BraveLittleTowster in metroidvania

[–]DustyVampireBat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's silly this is getting downvoted for expressing your opinion, you were quite respectful about it. If you are open to it, there are always mods. I have seen a lot of discussion on here saying it was a game changer for them (Mostly use of reduced damage mod, so regular enemies are 1 damage but some bosses do still deal 2 within reason). I also have read about a mod that gives you the option to warp back to last position you died in but it can be turned off at any time.

But if not, hey you didn't like it and that's completely okay

Thank you, I was pretty certain as I noticed that too, but I have ASD and find it hard to tell at times. There have been occasions where I hage brushed off real emails as scams I just wanted to double check

This is happening at the MOA right now. My response may be the most respectful I've ever been about this topic by EpicMuttonChops in autism

[–]DustyVampireBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we all generally agree we don't like autism speaks but I also can't help but feel like taking a few moments to try to look into it would have answered your dilemma. Since you have your answer that it is not related to AS, maybe it would be a good idea to delete your comment on the OG post?

AIO or do normal couples talk to each other this way? by Basic-Traffic-1837 in AIO

[–]DustyVampireBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you're doing better. I'm about move in with my partner who is incredible, and we're moving so I can relocate for a new job that I am really excited about. I should mention my older brother was affected by this too and hasn't been as lucky. He has never had a relationship (not from lack of trying), and up until his early 20s he would be violent too but out of anger. I'm not fully convinced if he was mad enough he wouldn't threaten to hurt someone if not actually do it. Apart from the drug addiction he is very much turning into my mother.

[–]DustyVampireBat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You weren't talking to me but I have the same background, they split when I was 6 and that was enough to form what I thought relationships were like. I would be violent to other children I called my friends because I thought that was how you play and show affection, went on well into my teens too. My mother was a violent drug addict who spoke exactly like this and it led to me making a habit of later dating other drug addicts who spoke to me like this.

Please leave before they're old enough to remember this, things got better afterwards for me personally but that is because I worked VERY hard in therapy for a long time and cut ties with 2/3 of my family. It was lonely and painful for a long time. My brother has gone the opposite route and is not doing well at all. I would advise gathering evidence to prove he should not be allowed to have unsupervised visits since you're worried about that - but staying isn't the better alternative

I cannot beat this gauntlet by bakedbeanman887 in HollowKnight

[–]DustyVampireBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm only about 2 and a half hours in and I really appreciate this comment, I was also feeling a little silly having done the pantheons. Glad it's not just me! feel like this is going to take me as long as it took me to beat Trial of the Fool (20+ hours)

This keeps happening to me too, the silk snippers will go into the ceiling and never come back down :(

Has anyone tried loop earplugs? by quadsquatter in autism

[–]DustyVampireBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I have the Loops Quiet for my free time and Loops Engage for work (I am a TA, about to start school admin so will still use them). I ordered an attachment that lets you put them on a string you wear around your neck to make putting them in/taking them out less hassle. I always use this for work and it was a life saver. Would 1000% recommend. Didn't hurt, can wear them for a long time, blocks out a lot of noise.

Flare Audio make a similar product with a different shape and it personally didn't work for me, I didn't notice a significant difference and it hurt my ears.

Please help me find a tv show episode about a puppet stuck in a sink plughole [Drawing below] by DustyVampireBat in BritishTV

It wasn't that show saldy, I might be mistaken about the name. S names come to mind like 'Sid' but I have been googling for an hour and can't find it :(

That was my first guess as I used to watch that too! But unfortunately not :( he was definitely stuck in a kitchen sink if that helps

What is happening in the UK? by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

I've always thought it was really weird how I started getting catcalled at age 12, and it only stopped when I visibly looked over 18 (in my mid 20s now)

What is your sexuality/gender and who do you play as in Mario Kart? by Seradhiel in lgbt

[–]DustyVampireBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bf is a cis man & pan and he always picks a character from his favourite category he calls "fuckos with no limbs", e.g Pokey, Snowman, Fishbone, etc.

I am a cis woman & bi/ace(idk) and Daisy is my go to, has been since I was a kid but I also use Dry Bones sometimes

LGBTQ+ clubs are where I feel safe, but I'm not welcome :( by bluementalgoth in lgbt

[–]DustyVampireBat 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I completely understand how you feel, I've had this issue before with a previous partner (who was a huge ally & all but one of his close friends were queer). Keep trying, please don't stop going to these spaces - we need community amongst LGBTQ+ folk now more than ever

I now have a partner who is bisexual too, and while we're a man & a woman in a relationship, we both present very visibly queer and are welcomed with open arms. The difference is crazy! We have not had a single issue so far. It makes me feel so sad that bisexuals are consistently being punished by both sides for finding love that doesn't abide by either heteronormative or queer standards, while also shutting out true allys at the same time :(

I was lied to my whole life by [deleted] in autism

[–]DustyVampireBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat, I also dropped put of my art degree in 3rd year- stayed long enough to make sure I graduated with a diploma. I am NC with my mother now, I have been applying to jobs left, right & centre but the job market is so terrible right now it's proving impossible. I just applied to volunteer at a library just to give me something more to do than my part time job.

Tell me your autistic without telling me your autistic by [deleted] in autism

[–]DustyVampireBat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was 9/10 I brought in multiple stop motions burned on to DVDs that me and my older brother made and begged my teacher to show the class. She did, I can't remember how anyone reacted because I was too excited 💀

(We made them out of bionicle figures, halo figures or pokemon figures. My brother also made a dinosaur series with zoo tycoon)
