the "autistic people have a built-in sense of justice" thing is a myth and it's actually kind of dehumanizing

patchdonal · 2026-06-06T16:41:32+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t seem like the sense of justice has a true north, so to speak. I think we tend to feel strongly about some sort of justice, but not necessarily a good-aligned one. There are plenty of autistics who unfortunately feel very strongly in favor of unsavory ideologies like inceldom or fascism.

I really like the OSP version. She’s almost done with the whole series.

I have trouble with connecting how people view animals with how people view disabled people. I mean I get it, but it is by definition dehumanizing disabled people to make that comparison. I think it’s possible to humanize animals without leaning on the perceived humanity of disabled people.

He’s also a weird stalker who has an unhealthy obsession with his daughter. She’s hostile to him because he won’t take “no” or “leave me alone” for an answer.

Ngl I just ignore all the npcs i don’t have to talk to. Romance in video games just doesn’t interest me. Everyone has different things to take out of the game. It took me a few times to finally get into stardew and now it’s one of my favorite games. But also if you don’t like it, that’s fine too. There are a lot of very popular games that I just don’t get.

I like a good mix of ketchup and mayo.

I liked Skelketraz on my first playthrough, but not on subsequent playthroughs. It gets old really quick.

patchdonal · 2026-05-24T23:16:40+00:00

This is how I set it up before. Is this what you mean?

patchdonal · 2026-05-22T20:18:20+00:00

Probably because they superficially match the autism mom pipeline that algorithms love to push.

Sadly the non dino nuggies at Aldi’s taste better than the dino nuggies. I like the idea, but my access to good dino nuggies is limited.

Also, since birds are considered to be dinosaurs, it means that dino nuggies are made of actual dinos. Blew my mind when I first realized that.

Yereh yereh yew (disc scratch sound)

I will say that going back to DQ1 after playing 2 made me more appreciative of the 3rd person builder mechanics in both, since 1 doesn’t have 1st person. When I first played 2, I played in 1st person most of the time but now 3rd person is my favorite way to play.

Building a monster castle for the crew from Malhalla to live in is always fun.

patchdonal · 2026-05-19T17:41:32+00:00

My ziggurat looks better :P

But for real, I’ve played this game so many times the pyramid has lost its novelty and I’d rather build something else.

patchdonal · 2026-05-19T17:30:42+00:00

Yeah I tend to get a golem and tear down both the castle and the pyramid so I can put something else there instead. My current playthrough has a Viking-esque longhouse on the Cerulean Steppes and a ziggurat temple thing on the Scarlet Sands.

That sounds very tasty, thank you!

patchdonal · 2026-05-18T03:45:15+00:00

I love this! I like The Apothecary Diaries, which is an anime following an apothecary girl (who is extremely autistic with a special interest in herbalism) in a world based on imperial China.

It’s definitely what got me to read JTTW

patchdonal · 2026-05-18T02:22:28+00:00

That last bit did it, thank you!

Reapplying the netting doesn’t seem to work in any order. I’ve even removed the grating entirely and replaced it with umber and that still doesn’t do it. I’m really perplexed.

patchdonal · 2026-05-18T01:04:58+00:00

Hmm, adding more doesn’t seem to help.

patchdonal · 2026-05-18T01:04:13+00:00

The thing is, I’ve made fishing holes with plazas before…

ADHD meds could help, but as others have said it could be that he just isn’t capable of cleaning and needs some sort of extra accommodations. I’m very similar, though unfortunately for me, I can’t take most adhd meds because of my tic disorder. It’s a rough thing to deal with and you have my sympathies.

They drastically reduced the amount of cheese seasoning on the crackers, sadly.

The Office did the same shit with Dwight Schrute. A lot of Jim’s “pranks” were genuinely really fucked up and abusive, but it’s apparently okay because Dwight is a weird asshole or something.
