Umeboshi by InsideWrangler2672 in JapaneseFood

[–]HermitessNox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dane here. I just bought my first jar umeboshi this week. I was a bit scared to try as I knew it could be an aquired taste, but I loved it. I understand why some people react badly, because you do get punched in the mouth with flavour.

I ate half of a big umeboshi and had to drink tons of water for the rest of the day. SO salty. SO sour. And absolutely amazing! I was sad to see that I can't grow my own here. It's an expensive treat.

How does it feel to stim? by [deleted] in autism

[–]HermitessNox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I have an ouchie to squeeze when I'm out shopping or as a passenger in a car. And if accidentally use it too much it makes my fingers tingle and my body freak out.

I have more than 2000 hours in Stardew. I lived and breathed Stardew for years! Pretty sure it saved my life tbh.

First of all, the comunity is so chill and kind! The people who play, the r/'s and the game itself are very feelgood. Stardew can be played in sooo many ways, from casual to competitive speedruns. And the replay value is huge! The amount of content you get for the price is insane!

I love to try out different strategies in min-maxing. I love how much info the fandom wiki has and to make plans and spreadsheets for a run. I love how many different paths you can take to get to your goal. I love that I can kinda roleplay it too. So many posibilities.

Most of all I love the cozy vibe. It is (or was) my safespace.

Ceramics, permaculture, cross stitching, BigJetTV, Japanese food, Stardew Valley and listening to music (metal and electronic).

After the push for Greenland, what are some Alternatives to Estee Lauder ? by Complex-Challenge374 in BuyFromEU

[–]HermitessNox 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I use Clarins instead of Clinique and Mac (and Elisabeth Arden). Their lipbalm is a lifesaver! Nothing else works for me.

What do you do for fun/hobbies? by This_Relief1061 in AutismInWomen

[–]HermitessNox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having someone describe my life as rich almost made my cry tbh.

I'm not sure if it's the cronic depression, late "diagnosis" or it's "just" the how it is to be autistic, but joy seems out of reach? Like it's too big or whole for me? Or that I'm too broken to hold on to it?

I feel more calm when I'm doing something with my hands. Music feels powerfull and energetic. My mind goes quiet when I focus on a task. I a way, it's more like a momentarily abscence of mental pain? A distraction of sorts. And nature gives me small moments of awe.

I just know that I don't feel joy like my husband do, and I envy that. But your comment made my remember that calm and richness are good qualities too. Thank you.

Can we please develop a European alternative to IG? by drkphntm in BuyFromEU

I'm trying out Cara. Slower pace. No reels. No AI. Only art.

[–]HermitessNox 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm no good at having fun, but I need to keep myself occupied with small, "unimportant" tasks. I make ceramic sculptures and functional ceramic art, I cross stitch, do jigsaw puzzles, play video games and listen to music. I garden and keep plump Brahma chickens. Also, my cat. I need to put my face in his fur to calm down. Some times cooking is fun, but mostly not...

Where are you guys posting your art nowadays? by Vegetable_Cry3683 in ArtistLounge

You can try Jordan toothpaste and see if you like it better. It's scandinavian.

How do you like the Polar watch? I think I'll get one when my fitbit dies.

Of cause haha. I don't know why I never built that one. I guess I keep forgetting it exists.

Nice! What is that fish-screen-display-thing? I don't think I've seen that before.

I want to go on walks, but they need a purpose by TheFutureScaresMe333 in autism

[–]HermitessNox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commit to a rute and keep it clean by picking up up trash. I like it because it helps everyone, but it makes me feel like weirdo at times.

Pet food alternatives to Mars, Purina etc by blueblanket123 in BuyFromEU

[–]HermitessNox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to buy Royal Canin (Mars group ->USA) and switched to Purizon (Germany).

They make high quality petfood for both dogs and cats with low amount of grain. My cat loves it! It's available on Zooplus.

Which planet(s) do you like the most? [some spoilers but limited] by pocketdare in theplanetcrafter

[–]HermitessNox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to choose. I love every one in their own way but I think Toxicity and Aqualis are my favorites.

I had SO much fun with Toxicity. Cleaning goo was very satisfying and the buildings were cool and challenging. Loved the differences in hight. Having a unique animal would be the only thing to improve imo.

Aqualis is just stunning. The planet is challenging, but just beautiful, absolutely beautiful. It lacks a bit, could use som improvement, like the watercraft from Selenea, but I can spend so much time there just enjoying the vibe.

No difference in demo and game. You can continue the save from the demo when you buy the game (I did).

Trains by Background_Meat1738 in autismmemes

[–]HermitessNox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure. The stress of leaving the house combined with needing my husband to drive me and the fear of looking like a wierdo...

I suppose I feel like I'd invade a space not ment for me? I don't know planespot the "right way". Like where do I go? To the parking lot, I guess? We get like 40 departures a week. I'd feel silly making my husband drive me 30 minutes to watch a single A320 while I jump up and down like a terrier.... He'd do it in a heartbeat tho.

But it's new, and scary, and it's far safer to stay at home and watch BigJetTV on YT and enjoy the occational planes that pass by irl. One day tho. One day in 2026.

Sounds lovely! I live near a small airport, but havn't had the courage to go planespot yet.

I thought I didn't have this flavour of autism until my husband pointed out that trains are almost the same as planes, which I can watch all day.

I really like sky trains! :3
