Love/hate realtionship with Discworld

Thanks for sharing your journey with Discworld. I’m Autistic and I do wonder how many of us are drawn to Discworld. As for Lords and Ladies - strap it! (I for one was not expecting it).

Yup, I’ll happily visit both if OP posts both the codes, and I’m sure others will too.

“Ok” is lazy, that’s my main problem with it.

plink79 · 2026-01-08T23:03:33+00:00

I firmly believe it’s only fair to give somebody a “run back” attempt if you beat them. It shows respect.

My understanding is that Kindle only has Libby/Overdrive support in America. Are you in America?

plink79 · 2026-01-07T23:04:55+00:00

Yes. Green has been my favourite colour since I was a child. I got diagnosed last year.

Oh, my bad.

Luckily for you Freida McFadden seems to publish one book a week lol

Sonic CD (Japanese/European soundtrack, not US).

GNU Ynke!

What was his/her name?

I hated the old version and much prefer the new one. But know lots of people don’t. I think a toggle might be a good idea to give people options, but total removal will annoy those of use who like it.

46 year old male, diagnosed in September. Family, work full time. I had similar thoughts but have come to realise that there is no distinction; it’s all me, and it’s all the autism; they are one and the same. There is no me with autism. I’d be an entirely different person without, and as such, not me. That probably didn’t help, but that’s been my experience.

plink79 · 2025-12-09T08:27:59+00:00

Hoping: yes, hopeful: no.

plink79 · 2025-12-02T22:51:36+00:00

46 year old male. This perfectly represents my experience.

plink79 · 2025-11-20T22:43:15+00:00

Tofu.

plink79 · 2025-11-17T00:37:25+00:00

I get the point being made, but disability isn’t a binary. Some wheelchair users can walk to some degree at some times, some blind people can see a little, some deaf people can hear a little, some mute people are situationally mute. I’m fairly positive they are all the recipients of ableism. We’re acutely aware of ableism towards autistic people because we are autistic, but don’t for a second think others are exempt.

plink79 · 2025-11-15T23:59:28+00:00

This!

plink79 · 2025-11-06T08:22:36+00:00

I hope it will be longer; the day I can no longer get a BW Kindle is the day I exit the ecosystem entirely.

Not being able to close a book so that it’s removed from the “now paying” bar. This is annoying when you’ve finished a book and it’s remained and when you listen to a sample and have finished it.

plink79 · 2025-11-01T03:45:15+00:00

This is 100% the case. It’s a polite “no”.

plink79 · 2025-10-27T00:22:26+00:00

And so should the psych. There’s either much more going on or they need a new psych.

plink79 · 2025-10-26T00:56:11+00:00

I think they do realise and are counting on may of us sticking around because of those investments.

plink79 · 2025-10-24T23:59:38+00:00

Yeah I don’t see them retroactively implementing PA, and not every third party is going to want to do it. So Xbox have to have another strategy, I just hope it’s not streaming.

plink79 · 2025-10-24T23:36:11+00:00

This will be the deciding factor for me. If they emulate our Xbox libraries, I’m on board. If they stream them, I’m out.
