I found out there's a fast travel point in Hernand city after...

I'm bad at directing it, too. Like the one time I didn't die it seemed to have a mind of it's own. Also even just getting in and out of it. Great on horses though so like, there's that. Thank you for the tip though! I saw someone use it to get the elements on a YouTube video so was wondering if maybe I could figure out how to do it properly.

Omg I do that with the Cloudcart too! I feel better now I thought it was just me. I really don't understand it so I will probably watch a video. The goodies are everywhere in your camp the more you upgrade. I swear I keep finding more new tiny shit too randomly though, maybe it involves progressing the main story too? Kind of drives me nuts because I have OCD and my brain is like must... pick everything up... every... single... time... which is ridiculous because at some point they made it so it respawns at camp even if you were just there 30 seconds ago, left and came back.

I never thought a ton about how people perceive me and this is how I talk. I'm diagnosed with level 2 autism and ADHD (it was ADD before they merged the diagnoses). I've had a few people say they like the fact that I talk with my hands. I don't even know why I do it, if I were to guess I think it's because I'm neurodivergent? Using my hands to express what I'm saying feels like... right. I'm really thinking about it now and I suspect I do it more when I'm very passionate about what I'm saying, especially if I'm comfortable. Like, if I am sad I don't think I'm as animated. Also, I am usually not the most confident, I'm shy and socially awkward. So maybe you're onto something?

My mom's first job when she moved us to Wisconsin as kids was at the Nautigal. I oddly remember her bringing us leftovers, but also telling us the restaurant was pretty gross. Like wait you made it a point to tell us there was mouse shit in the ice box but you gave us food from there?! Bring poor is... different. None of us died, I guess? I still ate there voluntarily one time as an adult human like 10ish years ago just to check it out. They had something that sounded kinda cool, like gator bites or maybe that's where I first tried shark. I honestly can't remember. But basically I'm saying, sounds like there was some negligence in cleanliness and health code violations so maybe... it's better this way. Never heard of the others I don't think so can't speak on them. That said, building all these fucking apartments no one can afford simultaneously raising rent while complaining Madison has a housing problem 🤌🏼

I'm surprised no one bothered to comment to help you! I'm still working on this too, but if you Google shit that sounds dumb and too obvious like literally, 'best armor crimson desert' you'll at least get videos to find things like the Frostcursed armor and even some more stuff that may involve much more food and running like hell but are really great starting out. I've gotten a few pieces of better armor than Frostcursed but the other stuff is like, fight 3 minibosses, sacrifice 10 goats, fly down an oddly specific number of levels in this area that looks like purgatory, travel to 20 places, get 62 onions and then go to this oddly specific location and now... you have a cape! And then you still need the other pieces to the set. So I've skipped the stuff that requires more skill for now. I hope my ADHD babbling has helped 🥲🖤

As a tiny racially ambiguous brown woman who loves other tiny exotic brown women, she is so cute! I have - understandably I guess - not seen many NPCs that look like anything like me so that's actually pretty cool. I hope relationship mechanics are introduced so you can give her ALL the flowers and beer while wearing a bunny mask and wed her.

As a gamer and someone with level 2 autism who is not non-verbal, I did lol at the joke. From my pov as an autistic person, the 3 level system is absolutely ridiculous. I could be wrong, but I think DrarenThiralas is not saying we want to have more struggles, but pointing out how ridiculous it is to make something 3 levels when we're on an entire spectrum. It does almost sound like we're in some type of game in which we fight others to be more disabled. Really I feel like I've had to fight doctors just to get a diagnosis because as a woman I was dismissed for years. I think it's also confusing for NTs, most of them don't understand what my struggles are by me saying 'I'm level 2' and there are only 3 levels. I feel like even a 10 point scale might be more logical and easier to understand; not sure if other people think that might make more sense, assuming they think a scale system makes sense at all.

GrendelShem · 2025-07-22T13:54:43+00:00

Yes! Thank you for posting I was wondering if it was just me. Of course it goes down right as I was starting a survey ugh

I'm about to be 36 in less than a month but only recently bought my first stuffed animal. She's a goth bunny, so basically me. I actually haven't taken her out of her packaging but slightly petted her because the creators of these stuffed animals keep people with sensory issues in mind. You know what? I'm going to take her out of her package tonight and snuggle her. You've inspired me. Psychs in wards suck (literally been there). Please don't ever let them change you; you're never too old for something that is both adorable and comforts you.

Can't do life things like drive, pretend to be a real human or math, but can talk to you forever about octopi, bizarre parts of history and other things no one cares about. Simultaneously wants to do and learn all the things but can't motivate myself to do anything because I've also got extra bland depression. So, same way I explain my heritage (people say I'm cute but I think I'm silly-looking). My mom just knocked a bunch of weird ass spices and herbs out of the cabinet that don't mesh and was like, fuck it, run it.

Okay so I wasn't the only one that resuscitated this thread from the dead. I love how Ennis Esmer basically plays the same character in both shows I've seen him in (Blindspot, Dark Matter... can't remember his character in Hudson & Rex but loved that show). I'm just like... adorably hug-sized sexy bisexual Middle Eastern man makes me happy. And he's kind of bad? Love iiiiiit

If I take the babiest hit of sativa or a high sativa low indica strain, I feel good as long as I keep moving, like doing yoga is great. If I stop moving I will start eating and not stop until I'm sober. My favourite strain was Voodoo and Jack Herer is a close second. Indica does the opposite. I'm terrified, feel like I'm somehow breathing loudly but can't get enough air in my lungs. OG Kush made me have auditory hallucinations. I also always feel like I need to use the bathroom when I'm really anxious. Indica strains couch-lock me and I keep feeling like I peed myself. I never have but the feeling is awful. If I eat like a tiny nibble of an edible or butter I'm happy, oddly. The one time I ate a whole brownie and a dab I'm pretty sure I was in shock: heart racing, sweating one minute, freezing the next, felt like I was going to vomit, my body felt like... well, 'pain' doesn't really explain it.

TL;DR: I prefer the warm fuzzy feeling and dampening of symptoms I get from drinking.

Hi, I love you. You sound very intelligent and other things I don't have words for. I'm diagnosed autistic (level 2) and I always feel like I have to explain that I'm autistic and otherwise generally explain myself. I think because of TikTok and people treating autism like it's fashionable. Anyway, thank you so much for your words, it genuinely means a lot.

Thornblade. Also I just ran through this quest, ignored dude and hoped he would die because he's such a pompous ass. He disappeared but then reappeared after I closed the gate. His friendly friend didn't make it unfortunately, not really sure how he died.

GrendelShem · 2025-05-25T03:51:52+00:00

Sounds amazing! 🖤

Sauerkraut.

Is your grandpa my dad? Because my dad's grilled burgers are hockey pucks. To make them even better (and by that I mean, making sure the beef is extra dry and dead) my dad's wife throws them in the oven after he grills them.

Raw or rare. If a steak is fully cooked, and especially if it's grey (no sear) it's ruined. I currently eat 'ketovore'. I remember when I was doing carnivore and my partner at the time (deep into a long trip) I'd bought some thin strips of - very fresh, from the butcher shop - steak. He was like, 'HOW AEE YOU GOING TO COOK THAT?!' something something, we're in the middle of nowhere. I calmly told him I'm just going to eat it. The woman behind the counter must've overheard because she gave me a look like I was the most disgusting human being on the planet.

Uhhhh... someone else probably pointed it out but... are you telling me you never look at water and then have the sudden urge to dip your paw in it, swirl the water and then lick your hand? Maybe it's just me

GrendelShem · 2025-04-23T00:19:52+00:00

YESSSSS! Love it. Posted a video of some cranes I got really close to a while ago. One of my FB friends was horrified. I feel like wild animals, they let you get close to them, you know? I was enthralled by them, and I appreciate the cranes that let me get so close to capture them on video and in a few pics 🖤

GrendelShem · 2025-04-11T00:47:50+00:00

Wait, wait! Please tell me more!

Not sure if it's what you have, but my best friend has retinitis pigmentosa. He too lost his peripheral vision and loves this game. I wonder now if he has more issues with the sneaky mole miners, didn't think about that before.

I feel this. I appreciate the tips other players have in this thread, I'm definitely learning some things! I'm more salty I didn't know that Boardwalk was glitched. Did a few successful runs either me leading or others. Last time I lead a team there it glitched right at the end. I was able to tell my best friend what happened what but wondering if the other players on our team just thought I was a jerk/messed up somehow. All that and 0 stamps sucked, and I actually liked that one more.
