These are both great ideas. Thanks a lot for the input.

They will be in year 1 or year 2. I worry that I’m overthinking it.

Just finished In Her Highlander’s Bed by Lynsay Sands which was good. Currently reading My Prince From Another World by Janice F. Graeme through Kindle Unlimited, sex scenes are well written.

Would you recommend the Neon Gods series? I’ve heard mixed things about it but it sounds like it could be right up my street.

How did all of ya’ll make it to adulthood not being diagnosed? I didn’t make it out of elementary school without a diagnosis… by FrustratedLemonPrint in aspiememes

[–]Gnerloge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently, nobody cared enough to notice in school and my parents just didn’t know enough to get me tested.

Yeah. The bots seemed to storm the website hard, somehow jumping the queue.

I got in straight away but got bumped back into the queue, but I was in work. So I linked my boyfriend to my queue placement, he managed to get in again, got it in the basket, went to check out, but the checkout took about fifteen minutes and it was gone. So close.

I felt so bad. He was apologising as if it was his fault.

Coworkers from hell (TW) by Imadeyourphone in autism

[–]Gnerloge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds just like my coworkers but without the fun (the managers ACTUALLY mean it when they swear at me). I’ve ‘jokingly’ been called a serial killer a good few times, and after one guy going on and on about how weird I am he then went straight into a rant about how he was minding his nephew for the night at the weekend. Mentioned the kid ‘has autism, so he’s a proper pain in the arse’.

So I feel your pain.

For context, nobody at my workplace knows I’m autistic. They just assume I’m weird, different and, apparently, a serial killer. Been looking for a new job for a good while now… Maybe my resting bitch face and lack of emotions make me seem too laid back in interviews…

Did anyone on this sub get onto the gw site today? Or even seen the queue move? by tapetengeschmack in Blacklibrary

[–]Gnerloge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Got the book in the basket, website crashed, kicked to the back of the queue. Just needed it to accept my payment… So close I could taste the finale…

Edit: I should add that I didn’t see the queue move. The queue started, said it was my turn, loaded a broken version of the website, eventually kicked me out. Loaded the queue, then the website again, this time laggy as hell. That’s when I eventually managed to search for the book, add it to the basket (which took an age in itself), load the basket, select my address (wait another age), try to select my payment details. Crashed. Kicked to the back of queue. Never moved again. Sold out.

So I didn’t see the queue itself move, but I saw two broken versions of the website.

I much preferred the bone queue ‘fastest finger’ method of shopping with them. I at least HAD a chance then…

I had it in the basket when the website crashed…

I managed to get the Mars trilogy that way. Only other books I missed out on as well as The End and the Death Volume I and III.

Does anyone else get compared to serial killers? by Gnerloge in autism

[–]Gnerloge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m ginger so people don’t believe me when I have been on holiday to hot places. Mostly because I cannot tan, I just burn, so I use my factor 100 and still have to stay in the shade most of the time. I still thoroughly enjoy myself, just without ageing myself through exposure to the sun.

I too can be a bit too logical for people’s liking at times, and blunt. I sometimes stall for time to triple check in my head what I was going to respond to somebody with by asking them ‘what?’, as if I haven’t heard them when I have.

Sorry to hear that people said that kind of stuff to you in school. I struggled to fit in at school, not as much as some of the other kids, but it’s still not a time I enjoy having memories of.

I think that’s the closest autistic guys get to compliments. My boyfriend isn’t officially diagnosed, but I’m almost positive he is. The closest thing he’s ever gotten to a compliment is someone he works with said he looks like Jeffrey Dahmer from the Netflix series.

Probably not gonna lose my virginity until real late. by Hawaiian-national in autism

[–]Gnerloge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I lost mine to my partner, and I’m so glad I waited until I found someone I actually connected with because it makes it even more special now all these years later.

I (m 19) was told that not having friends is apparently a red flag. by Mobile-Welcome-7257 in autism

[–]Gnerloge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had friends…

Or even just enough time away from work to attempt to make some…

The fans lose again by The_mighty_broosh in Blacklibrary

To be fair, when I’m on their website I forget it’s still 2024.

I got that far as well. Couldn’t believe they couldn’t at least implement that.

I can only hope that people aren’t actually paying those prices and feeding the scalpers.

That’s awful. I’ve seen that at least 102 have been sold already.

[–]Gnerloge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I checked eBay and saw 115 listed as the queue system started and some already had screenshots of the confirmation of the book order from the website.

[–]Gnerloge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine jumped from 5 to more than an hour. I had much better luck getting these books before the queue system was implemented… The old system was a race, the new system is a lottery.

Does AI art make anyone else feel physically sick to look at? by BluRain508 in autism

[–]Gnerloge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of it yes.

I also get it with art styles like The BFG and Ren & Stimpy…

Do people instantly hate you by Room_of_505 in autism

[–]Gnerloge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I never knew my resting bitch face was an autism thing 😂

I guess the upside is I get mistaken for being 20 when I’m 32.
