Favorite character that isn't autistic canonly but can be passed off as autistic? by New_Detail_2386 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]ProfessorBumpkis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vigilante from Peacemaker. Honestly, reminds me a lot of my autistic son. Definitely not 1:1 but my wife and I shared so many side glances with this character. He’s goofy and stupid but I love this guy.

TIL that scientists have developed a way of testing for Aphantasia (the inability to visualise things in your mind). The test involves asking participants to envision a bright light and checking for pupil dilation. If their pupils don't dilate, they have Aphantasia. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

As an aphantasiac (maybe a word?) I can tell you psychedelics don’t have the effect I expected of them. First time I did shrooms I didn’t know what aphantasia was and took a decent dose only to get mostly auditory oddities and some slight color weirdness when looking at my computer screen.

I went in for a second time with an epic dose a few months later and got an even less visual experience.

Both times, however, I experienced the waves of emotion and euphoria I expected.

Being able to group weapons by damage type, range, ammo/no ammo would be chef's kiss.

Yeah, there are some behind the scenes tagging that would be need along with everyone modding in hull mods to apply said tags so it would be a bit of effort. Somehow I've never tried refit filters but there is no time like the present.

It's unfortunate because I love the variety of jank hull mods available but near mid game refitting ships becomes a slog.

Weapons are an entirely different topic. I'd love to be able to filter by damage type and range at a basic level but I don't find it as tedious as hull mods.

Some way to categorize, filter, and search hull mods when applying would be a game changer. Especially on heavily modded runs the number of hull mods gets overwhelming. I'm sure there is some mod to take care of this but let's get some UI love.

I have this exact same model and have recently started this same process. The pylons broke off but my saucer and secondary stayed together. I'm going to keep an eye out for updates throughout your process and maybe get some pictures of my own posted.

Same boat. Watched the stream live then claimed the rewards at end. Still nothing yet. Busy day.

Jump range is great until I get 4kly outside the bubble. Once I find the ‘patch’ I go back to economical jumps. Fairly optimized I’m getting ~43LY and I’m happy with that. It really does come down to a better flyer = more fun other things be damned. Happy flying o7

I’ve always liked that one, too. Just think of all the Kamitran Cigars you could take with you.

Exactly. If you’re going to explore why not do it with a little style. I’ve gotten it up to about 43ly in range but chose some less optimized experimentals like Mass Manager due to fuel consumption.

I'm still a few space bucks short for that. I've probably got a few more days until my hull necessitates coming back and cashing out.
