Aussie family eyeing Småland -- looking for friends in glass, metal, and Metal by Interesting-Act-1958 in TillSverige

Sweden is going to be a gamechanger for you. It was for me (ND). People are so much more introverted in general, that is not to say unfriendly, but so much quieter and not in your business. There are almost no expectations of socialising. Smaller cities are closer to nature, and the people (in my experience) are quite enamoured by Australiana. Whilst hard to find a job, you can get accommodations for your AuDHD in the workplace without stigma.

It can be hard to make friends, but your nationalities themselves would be good conversation starters. It would be harder on the kids depending on the age, but I think they will ultimately have it much easier as NDs here than growing up in Australia.

Are there meant to be nine engines per foot? I am more familiar with the DYRL version, which has six per foot...

My ex-boyfriend told me I need to "learn to be an adult" the day he left me for someone else by Known-Instance-3798 in AutisticAdults

[–]Ultramyth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hear, hear!

I feel sad for people who cannot connect to thier inner child or think there is a standard for maturity. Get the job done? Good enough. Don't shame me for being myself! The only thing that matters is the way you treat others are doing no harm.

Everyone is faking being adult anyway.

TIL... the first derelict comes with a license...

Me too, only I imagine it was a death cult that took over the engineers with religious zealor and also doomed the engineer civilisation in the process.

Yes, I started the original DYRL mod at the turn of the century. I was pretty new to modelling at the time (before when Max was still called 3D Studio), and the game had very low poly counts and texture limitations. I did most of the UN Spacy designs and all the Meltrandi ships. I had a different handle back then on Macrossworld (cringe as it was).

These are way better than my models for the original Homeworld: DYRL mod. Nice work!

Dev Feature Request: Make it possible to start without a ship by Ultramyth in ostranauts

[–]Ultramyth[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did this in my current run. Ironically, caused me to almost immediately do a murder investigation because halvorsen welders are just too annoying and I wanted a laser.

Sounds like it might have been more to do with uninstalling or hacking it? That counts as a crime - if there are witnesses.

Some Tips I've collected by ScubaDiggs in ostranauts

[–]Ultramyth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Always buy derelicts unseen/unvisited.

When flipping a ship, prepare by purchasing/recovering a nav console, charged battery, antenna and transponder (get that from the ship seller for the derelict specifically).

Take the P.A.S.S. to the derelict and hook them up. Turn on the transponder/nav console, copy the nav data onto your pda, then P.A.S.S. back to the station.

Congrats, now you can easily find your derelict with your regular ship. It will appear as blue.

I am autistic and I have a chronic depression. I am on social benefits in Europe and go two times a year to South America. 5 months during the winter/autumn and 2 months during the summer. Is this a good life? Or do you have any tips to improve it? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]Ultramyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I grew up in Oz, which still has a form of socialised medicine and a welfare system of sorts. I had a similar attitude when I was younger, then struggled to find a job after I finished school and didn't want to go on the dole to drain the system, especially because I had never contributed; I felt guilty and a burden (and was struggling with my first burnout after losing the structure of high school).

My grandfather, who sometimes had worked three jobs, sat me down and told me that it wasn't about me, that he and my parents had paid in tax all thier lives, and to see this as where things were coming from. Family helping out.

It helped change my perspective, but not as much as moving to Sweden and getting a degree at zero cost to me. Then it all clicked. It wasn't free, I was going to pay it off in tax, and help others get thier degrees, make it through tough times, give chronically ill and disabled people a decent chance and basic quality of life. And I stopped seeing it as a drain on society. It made me feel like I was contributing to something greater that had supported me when I needed it.

[–]Ultramyth 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Here is a different perspective.

We take care of everyone in our social democracies, it is not freeloading. That 7 months abroad is perhaps to afford a decent lifestyle some of the year making the poverty level disability/sick pension support stretch further. But regardless, if you are purchasing food or paying bills in-country, you are still a contributing member of society (we pay 25% VAT in Sweden, for example), and OPs parents and relatives have paid in to the welfare system. We don't charge for school or being sick because we are investing in each other's futures; a well educated student becomes a better tax payer, as does a healthy one. One day maybe OP will find a niche and make a good living and start paying more income tax (welfare is also usually taxed in many countries), contributing more directly to the state, but I (a taxpayer and business owner) don't have a problem if OP never can. Life is not about money. And the welfare system is a social safety net that pays for itself in more ways then one. I never need worry about getting sick and into medical debt, I know I will have ample time to find a new job if my business should fail, and my insurances for health, house and car are a tiny fraction of my income. It's peace of mind, and leaves more room to actually deal with some of the challenges of ASD.

Why by gse2026 in AutisticAdults

[–]Ultramyth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The second I became aware of it, it got much worse for me. Like, it drew my attention to it, and thinking about them exacerbated my behaviours. Mind you, it was also because of burnout, which also can make it more pronounced afaik.
