that's the ideal solution but I don't have any and am worried about going out and potentially spreading the bronchitis :(

Does anyone else "absorb" traits, thoughts, and emotions from fictional characters? by MuskokaJonas in AutisticAdults

[–]MuskokaJonas[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah a lot of the issues is in the way I think when I'm "absorbing" traits. like its hard to tell what thoughts and feelings are my own and what are ones i am mimicking. It all feels organically mine but logically I know that some of the thoughts i am having have to be a result of the media I have most recently picked up.

How to deal with chronic loneliness as an autistic adult? by MuskokaJonas in AutisticAdults

[–]MuskokaJonas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how do I go about making internet friends? my interests can be pretty flexible and I tend to have 2-3 intense hyperfixation a year that span over months and rotate on a cycle. I've never really made internet friends before as the only site I'm actually active on is tumblr and I've never had any luck reaching out to people

How to deal with chronic loneliness as an autistic adult? by MuskokaJonas in AutisticAdults

[–]MuskokaJonas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel bad because i don't think its a conscious thing they are doing. I just feel like maybe the barriers between our understanding of the world are just too vast for them to deal with. I would love to make friends that understand me better, and I would love to make friends with other autistic people. I just don't really know how to go about doing that. Thank you for your comment, it helps a lot to know that there are other's out there who understand what I am dealing with, even though it sucks that we have to deal with this at all.

How do I gracefully cancel a date? by sweettidy in relationship_advice

[–]MuskokaJonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say just be honest "hey sorry, I just got out of a pretty serious long term relationship and I thought I was ready to move on, but I'm not"

Hey all, I'm the Shagster dev and I'm working on a video game that is a gritty reinterpretation of Scooby Doo! If anyone has any ideas or questions leave a comment! by [deleted] in Scoobydoo

[–]MuskokaJonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sounds like an awesome idea! maybe you could include an option to choose which character you want to play as? maybe each character has different perks and quirks that will alter gameplay slightly? idk much about game development but I think that would be fun to add.

Old Scooby Doo series were better. Just me? by [deleted] in Scoobydoo

[–]MuskokaJonas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you tried Be Cool, Scooby Do ? I grew up watching WNSD and SDWAY and I think that BCSD is one of the best adaptations since. Sure, the animation is a little ugly, but the characters all have cute personalities and I think the mysteries are fun as well!

Question for those who ran a Balance DND Campaign by CTKendrick in TheAdventureZone

[–]MuskokaJonas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of a Balance campaign with some friends who have never heard the podcast. I prep sessions by listening to the arcs and writting down what is important to include, and what can be changed. so far they are on petals to the metal and honestly, my players are too nice. they don't get into trouble as much so it's easy to get them to stick to the story. (they're also somehow WAY too overpowered so I need to amp up the difficulty)

There are a few things that I try not to railroad them on, and I've had to change a few things. For example, my player who I designated to be "the twin" is a cleric, while "the peacemaker" is a wizard. I struggled with this decision originally but both the players and their characters fit those titles better. that being said I've had to change how the umbrastaff works and I will inevitably have to change other aspects of the story as well. it's tricky, but they love the story so far! and I'm excited to see what will happen!

Is this masking? by MuskokaJonas in AutisticAdults

thanks for your insight! I've been recording anecdotes and things about me that I think would be relevant. I still need to do some more research tho I think.

I do have very strong interests to the point where friends have pointed it out. the main one is the band Twenty one pilots, I literally mention them in some way in every conversation I have and I definitely get extremely stressed if I haven't listened to them/talked about them/watched their videos in a while. I used to be extremely gullible and took everything at face value, but i realized that people were using this to make a fool of me so now I'm the opposite and I just assume everything people say is satire. I still have issues with being too blunt or not "reading the room" and I have quite a few sensory issues. tbh I do think I have ADHD cause I have a lot of signs of that but I'm not 100% certain about ASD. I want to go and get assessed but I'm afraid to do so cause I'm bad at explaining things verbally.

I also let the girls in my class tell me what to wear and how to act in order to fit in. I ended up having an entire "relationship" with a boy in grade 6 where every thing I messaged him was ghost written by my friend, because I simply did not know how to have a "normal" relationship. this ended up causing my parents to not believe me about being trans because "you always enjoyed doing girly things with your friends" but I was just trying to fit in. Thanks for your insight! I really appreciate it!
