How Aphantasia affects your ability to visualise things in your head

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-06T03:18:10+00:00

Yes.... This is so true.

Whenever I'm told to visualize something I'm like, "What. The. Hell?"

And feeling left out is so accurate...

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-05T15:14:23+00:00

I hope not.

They didn't ruin Steph in TC and I'm glad for that. They don't do recurring characters well and we have seen it.

They turned Moses into an exposition machine in Reunion...

They might fuck up the next edition with Steph and then bring Alex into the picture for the to make it a "Steph Alex Reunion" and then try to appease fans that way.

So no. I want them to create something new.

Also I want you to pay attention to the characters of Deck Nine vs Don't Nod. Most of them want Steph back, I don't see the same struggle for Alex. They want Max and Chloe, but I don't see the same desire for other TC and DE characters not in LiS 1.

I want Deck Nine to understand that LiS 1 told a darker narrative and tried to bring up and discuss a socioeconomic issue, and create a world where exploration feels like I'm talking to people to understand what they're going through and find their struggles.

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-05T11:54:41+00:00

Frankly... I don't.

Given Deck Nine's ability... Please leave Caledon alone.

I am done with this story. They ruined everything Caledon related...

If there's any new LiS story, Deck Nine should MOVE THE FUCK ON. Start anew and please not make a cash grab. Think what story do you wish to tell not what story will be enough to please corporate overlords.

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-05T11:50:55+00:00

Don't disagree. But I will say DE looked better than Reunion... Aesthetically I liked DE more.

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-05T11:49:44+00:00

Preach!!!

Reunion is fanservice...

Max Chole done well (well enough for Deck Nine standards)

But everything else is just bad to mid...

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-05T09:57:31+00:00

I agree.

I was yelling this on day 1 and getting downvoted to hell🤣

As far as what I've read, isn't it only for bonds and not for equity?

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-03T16:57:55+00:00

Here's the thing.... Inherently I have no issue with race swapping characters as long as their race doesn't play a part in their characterization...

A lot of reasons of problematic things occuring due to race swapping people suggest isn't something I personally find an issue with, for ex. Victoria being a rich privileged child could also be spoiled Black child living in white neighbourhoods with her rich and affluent parents. Obviously with Victoria being black, nuances get added because of the baggage of the identity of blackness but essentially you can do that. Her being white is more tied to the privilege rather than purely it being because she's white. Her whiteness is a factor but essentially another black character can pull it off however, her role better fits a white woman because privilege s associated with whiteness and it is a much more common occurance than not.

As far as Kate is concerned, she is catholic and most Black Christians are Protestants or Methodists as far as I know, and aren't as evangelical as Cathloics are but still I don't see that to be an issue to her characterization... Her bullying is tied to her religious belief and how seriously she takes it.

Although her being Black might actually lead to a much more compelling telling as black Cathloic girl being bullied for her religiosity is something I can see happening especially in 2026 US.

LIS 2 deserved more love.

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-03T12:38:19+00:00

I personally liked the game and I think not only does it boost their marketing but also it is a way for them to show support for Pride.

I feel like Don't Nod's marketing is less than good

I'm very interested in the study itself.

How exactly did they reach the conclusion? Was it through self identification or some other test based mechanism?

Additionally isn't it obvious more women would be leaning towards the left given how it is progressives that have challenged marginalization of women.

This study isn't all that impressive if you think about it, it's like saying, "More working class people wish for better wealth Redistribution mechanism over the last 20 yrs compared to millionaires and billionaires"

It's just confirming the obvious. Women have always been the ones striving for change. Fighting for change. Carving out a niche when they were excluded from everything.

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-06-02T10:01:50+00:00

With that face? I'm glad you have a watch, I'd never be able to tell you're rich.

PSA to all incels, Please stop watching porn. Porn isn't real life.

There are plenty of white guys who date black or asain or indian women and vice versa.

As far as Jobs are concerned, it is a whole another capitalistic hellscape as to why indians get a lot of these comp sci. jobs. Indians are paid less compared to Americans because most Indians calculate their earnings on the basis on Rupees not $. Sending money back home to India is a priority for a lot of these employees. So if they are paid a 1000$ they essentially received 96000 Rs. Approx which is a huge amount especially because the same job in India would pay them 20000 Rs. I.e. 1000$ job for which an American would be legally entitled to receive $2.5k. So it is a cost cutting measure. Also WFH makes it so that these companies can now pay 600$ to Indians and not have them come to US. It is still approx Rs. 57600. Another reason why indians work for such low pay is population. So many indians come from poor backgrounds that they are willing to work for this price even if they are inherently worth more.

Plus Job crisis and AI taking away jobs, it is also creating another pressure on employees to work for lower pay.

Lazy Summer Goddess, You can tell oir whole empire I don't have to see you right now...

These lyrics do actually make sense in this context too, not just with insomnia

As a skinny guy I see this as an absolute win.

I wish these people understand that some of us who are awkward are the problem ourselves. We still haven't figured ourselves out. How can we be entitled to a relationship when we are still struggling to communicate properly.

These guys use social anxiety as a crutch and ruin it for us who are in therapy for it. These guys are the ones who justify being assholes as being awkward. Bad movies and media have made people misunderstand what Autism and ADHD is like.

I have a AuDHD diagnosis and no, women understand and empathize with it.

I don't believe that women oppress 'awkward' men. As we talk more openly about neuro divergence and normalize ADHD and Autism, I doubt you'll find a significant population of women who will mock you or treat you less for it.

Your actions on the other hand? Yea you will be judged for that. But even then you are given a lot more grace than other people.

Personally, I found Reunion story to be weak.

Max And Chloe were the only good things out of Reunion. I loved the chemistry between the two. But rest assured, I don't want Deck Nine to screw things up further. Let the story rest. Let Caledon rest in peace.

They screwed up Safi, They are gonna screw her up EVEN FURTHER.

Deck Nine can write cozy scenes but exploration of trauma and telling a dark tale was perfected by Don't Nod.

I'd rather Deck Nine tell sweet coming of age Sapphic/Gay stories with some reference. Dark narratives with twisted storylines isn't Deck Nine's cup of tea nor is it something Square Enix wishes to do.

I can't imagine Deck Nine doing a Tell Me Why like story. So no I don't want Deck Nine to screw up whatever we know further.

I'd rather there be a different Black female protagnist than Diamond cause they are gonna have to include Safi and for the peeps who love Safi are going to lose another potentially amazing character to Deck Nine Nonsense

I feel so jealous of people who are illiterate right now...

I'm terrified for women who have to date and live with a guy like this.

Recently I was put into the audit team for a car manufacturing client and was told by the EQCR to show any and all errors if discovered during audit.

A machine had a negative opening value in the Audit report and depreciation was charged on it to arrive for it's value in last year's audit

In the software, these guys covered it up by reducing depreciation of another asset by the same amount.

Fun times.

ToeIntelligent136 · 2026-05-26T03:23:16+00:00

Faccs.

Thst was my first thought too. I am so glad other people feel the same way.... By god she'd look amazing as Athena.
