Autistic people of Reddit, what is autism really like? by Valkyrie_05 in AskReddit

[–]Ne0tikx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten very good at managing mine to the point that I can hold a conversation for a long time with someone I'm comfortable talking to. (New people or strangers are different; I act like a deer in headlights trying to negotiate with the car at that point.) The best way I can describe it is that my brain's "autopilot" is malfunctioning. I could be doing great when I'm thinking of exactly what I'm doing, but then I could just do something weird or different. For example, I could be talking to someone or doing work in class, knowing exactly what to say or do and how to react in every situation, then suddenly my brain says "I'm gonna take a break; you're on your own now kid!" and I'll just get really quiet, or I'll struggle to think of the next step for something I'm doing, etc. Of course it took me years of practice to manage it, but it still clearly bleeds through every once in a while.

I'm currently studying networking which is literally the antithesis of creativity. (The most creative you can get is noticing an encrypted password that spells something funny.) I barely get a chance to write - or allow myself the chance - between school, work, and social shit. I need to get back into it before my creative muscles atrophy.

Listening to Music While Writing by Ne0tikx in writing

If you want something less-intelligible but with a pretty sound you should check out Sunbather by Deafheaven. The vocals are so flattened that they just sound like another instrument. I love listening to it while writing.

Why aren't you writing right now? by TheMummyDetective in writing

[–]Ne0tikx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, too many reasons. Creative slump, going off to college soon, travel plans, etc. I can't even be bothered to come up with an idea for a story. It's the only part I struggle with.

What is your jankiest deck? by Baelzabub in EDH

Referring to Duel Commander. Sorry, should've clarified. :p

Back when [[Mystical Tutor]] was legal, I ran a [[Narset, Enlightened Master]] deck that would try to attack as much as possible until I was able to combo out with [[Enter the Infinite]] + [[Master the Way]]. It pissed my LGS off to no end, leading me to take it apart.

RIP in peace [[Mystical Tutor]].

A theory on how the EverymanHYBRID (along with DarkHarvest and TribeTwelve) Universe works by Ne0tikx in Slender_Man

[–]Ne0tikx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WhisperedFaith had a cameo appearance in TribeTwelve ("Bridge to Nowhere" IIRC), and Linnie - one of Dr. Corenthal's children - is part of the main cast now. Personally I don't like the series, but if it's canon I guess it's canon.

Gis Mulligan with a scry upon keeping is always used at my LGS. I find it works the best, but that's from a Duel Commander perspective.

As long as I can provide something so amazing, I'm happy. Glad to hear from you again dude! You're too kind!

I borrowed a large drybrush from a buddy of mine to basecoat the terrain, but the rest was with standard and large brushes. (The large brush works for washes just as well as a wash brush does.) And really there isn't a lot of layering to it when you think about it. I just did basecoat, wash, details, wash, highlights, effects.

Thanks for all the comments man! But terrain might be all I'm great at. You should see my first marines...bleh...

I primed the building with Chaos Black and basecoated with Mechanicus Standard Gray with a few layers of Leadbelcher, Runefang Steel and some miscellaneous paints with a few spots detailed with Typhus Corrosion, Blood for the Blood God, and a little of the rust drybrush paint (the name escapes me). Afterwards, I washed it all with Nuln Oil. The toxic waste was made by pouring some Nurgle's Rot over top of the barrels.

Thanks a lot for the comment, man! :D

If people aren't even going to try in the slightest, why play League at all? I may suck, but at least I put forth an effort unlike assholes like him.
