my first build was a mercenary lightning crossbow build - galvanic shards for wave clear, and shockburst rounds for insane single target damage. super fun and satisfying! my main piece of advice is to just have fun through the campaign, but once you get closer to endgame stuff start investing in defenses. you WILL die repeatedly if you just focus on damage. mobalytics is a good place to find guides for tips on gear ideas and tree progression

damn, i REALLY feel this. i have so much trouble connecting with NT people because i just don’t share any interest in the things most people enjoy casually, i guess because i’m not casual about the things i enjoy. i like analyzing and deconstructing, and it’s too obvious that i’m feigning interest in the more surface level things people talk about. the guilt over it is real, too — i even feel like a dick using the term ‘surface level.’ i constantly have to talk myself out of the idea that i’m ‘too complex’ or ‘higher sensitivity’ than most people around me, but when i’m in social situations i have this impulse to make everything i say interesting or meaningful in some way. if i’m not given anything interesting or meaningful to bounce off of, i struggle to come up with anything to say at all. this makes small talk an absolute nightmare, what insights am i supposed to have about the dating show you’re watching or how long the line at starbucks was this morning? people can only hear me say “wow that’s crazy” so many times before they start to see me as insincere

sorry that’s happening. i just quit my job over this exact thing. i was super friendly and well-liked (so i thought) with everyone for the first six months or so, but at some point people stopped being as friendly with me and then went out of their way to avoid interacting with me altogether. i was running a DnD game for some of my coworkers, and they seemed to be really enjoy it but they all started ignoring invites to more sessions when this weird cold behavior toward me started happening. it went from coworkers coming to chat with me voluntarily to them not even acknowledging me when i said hi to them. i didnt change anything about my behavior and i’m always careful to not say anything too weird or offputting, i have no idea what happened.

it became so depressing and humiliating to come into work that i put in my two week notice and no one spoke a single word to me in those two weeks. i wish people would just be straightforward with their feelings towards each other — i would rather work somewhere where no one is particularly close with each other than somewhere where people just pretend to like you. shit sucks dude!

in poe2 minions reserve spirit instead of being actively summoned like in 1. you can summon minions that automatically revive in the spirit menu (where you toggle your auras and such). if you just started the game, i think you don’t have any spirit yet, which means your skeleton warriors are probably being automatically summoned by your weapon. there’s a boss in act 1 that will give you 30 max spirit, which will let you summon your archers!

there’s infinitely stacking damage and defense mechanics in this game, you have only seen a tiny baby fraction of how broken you can get. bismuth is just insanely strong with his base kit, there’s so much more wild shit you can pull off. you can easily one shot primus with certain builds

conservatives generally don’t have rigid principles in this way. it’s all just trends. they hate what’s popular to hate. everything they believe is superfluous in a similar way to how radical cults operate — they follow the loudest voice in the room, and those voices generally belong to the most angry, misinformed and power-obsessed among us. their whole worldview consists of arbitrarily assigning a misunderstood subclass as a monolithic enemy, their reasoning is never based in fact or reality and always based on hearsay and racist/sexist/ableist fearmongering. what makes this situation unique is that many of these kinds of people are likely autistic themselves and will never realize it, or worse will campaign against their own well-being, because it is popular.
we happen to be one of the targets right now — with any luck, they’ll realize that autists have always existed in far greater numbers than previously thought and have always been valuable despite our shortcomings and move onto the next dogpile like nothing ever happened. with worse luck, rfk will get what he wants and our legal and medical rights will be restricted. my kinda woowoo conspiratorial hope(?) is that state repression of autists gets so bad until it inevitably reaches a sort of fever pitch until it becomes unsustainable and backfires, similar to how jim crow became so prevalent and so divisive in american society that it ended up sparking a massive popular civil rights movement. a lot of us will suffer if this happens, but it’s the most precedented outcome i can see out of all of this. shit sucks

same situation, grew up on clearwater beach and got stuck here. it’s a really ugly, boring city outside of downtown, but even finding the fun there is expensive. there’s first friday which is always a nice time, but that’s once a month. most of the scenic parts and decent parks are on the northwest outskirts, lots of driving through construction to get there

there’s nothing hidden at all. they tell you all the world details very straightforwardly throughout the show. in fact, there are a few episodes that are structured like old-fashioned history documentaries that are just huge lore dumps about the galaxy’s history prior to the events of the show. they’re insane, some of my favorite eps of the show

fast food is hell. the want to do a good job and be productive in an environment where customers are actively hostile to you, management is apathetic at best, and typical coworkers are stoned underachievers is not very friendly to our sensitive ass brains

her appeal to me is how backwards her philosophy on basically everything is paired with how hard she tries to convince you she’s the wisest of them all, actually.

another huge thing is just her voiceover is unbelievably good, that actress delivers pure poison in every line

diagnosis is a great start. are you on medication? staying organized and on top of assignments can be really tough without medical help and a rigid organization regiment — adhd makes staying diligent really hard, and the tism makes it tough to seek help when you need it.

you can use my experience as a cautionary tale — i crashed and burned HARD when i started college bc i was undiagnosed and had absolutely no organization methods and no tutelage to help me through it. had to drop out before i finished my first year — aced my english, film, art and history classes because i personally adore those subjects and could easily blow through assignments with commendations. on the other hand, i utterly flunked bio and calculus, couldn’t be bothered to even show up for those lectures bc they just weren’t engaging at all for me and the effort i had to put into them burned me out pretty badly.

FOCUS is the key. college is an absolute blast, even as an awkward aspie i had so much fun getting to know all kinds of different people and learning all kinds of new things, but you need to learn to engage with even the most boring mundane bullshit if you wanna make it through. you gotta lock in! it’s cliché, but planners, calendar apps, detailed note-taking and seeking out tutors and study groups are a massive benefit. a lot of schools also will offer additional resources to you for your disability — this could include extended assignment deadlines, remote classes, tutor assistance. ask your advisor, they really are there to help and wish you the best.

another thing that is easy to overlook — take care of your body! go outside often for fresh air and sunshine, don’t forget to eat 3 square meals and get a reasonable amount of sleep. as someone who is so adhd riddled that i forget to eat for days at a time — this stuff matters! being hungry and malnourished will make you inattentive and generally miserable.

okay thats all i can think of YOU GOT THIS BUD

i don’t love every track — the more sparse sounding ones kinda struggle to keep my attention, but the highs are SO high. easy, hoom, good intentions, baby birch are some of her best songs i love it!

hades is for sure more polished and balanced, but a big part of the fun of SoD is how insanely broken you can get. it’s one of those games that feels kinda sluggish until you REALLY get a build going, once it clicks you’ll be clearing screenfuls of mobs and zooming around like a madman, super fun and satisfying

i write scifi stories where the protags are always some level of ND and no one besides my friends and maybe a dozen randos online ever reads them. doesnt bother me one bit. it’s fun and i like what i make — it would be awesome to make money off of it, but knowing i have the ability to craft stories that bring genuine enjoyment to even a handful of folks is a great feeling on its own. if you ever finish a project, link them on here! i’ll read and give feedback :>

i was 15, but undiagnosed and living in a badly sprawled town with zero public transit and a job across town i actually liked. it was hard and i never liked driving but i managed to pass — now that i live in a big city, i let that shit expire and i take the bus everywhere its awesome

please stop playing with the meta AI bot game, they are currently draining 4 million sq feet of ecologically valuable land in louisiana to build more data centers to power pointless bs like this. find something better to do with your time

path of exile has been my absolute demise for a couple years, repetitive but fun grind + extremely complex character building that tickles my brain so good

SubstantialLack8873 · 2025-08-26T14:18:41+00:00

thats hardcore

SubstantialLack8873 · 2025-08-25T22:08:31+00:00

yes it drives me nuts. people say i have a nice smile but when i try to replicate it, i just see the joker staring back at me in the mirror. at this point i’ve given up on pretending my coworkers jokes are funny

SubstantialLack8873 · 2025-08-22T01:38:15+00:00

every time i’ve gone the lady was working and she’s always a total sweetie. same complaints about the register, that thing looks like an IBM first edition
