If you’re wanting a good controller, 8BitDo has a fantastic Bluetooth controller styled after the SNES controller (with extra shoulder buttons and joysticks!), the SN30 Pro. If you want it wired, I think they have a wired version, but otherwise you can get a USB-C cable and plug it into your phone that way. Easily replaced if the cable breaks, anyhow.

There’s an entire industry of pedaling them as health products. I once had a random bint on a tour notice my sore back thanks to my scoliosis and asked me about it during some downtime in the tour. After the tour was done she “tipped” me by pouring an amount of essential oil on my palm, told me to rub it on my back, and that if I buy the stuff myself it’ll cure my scoliosis.

I walked to the break room and washed it down the drain. Shit made my hand STANK and my head hurt from the fumes.

I want what you’re having mate, might make sleeping off this awful fever better.

Honestly though I’m here for this level of personification. When something is very important to someone it often takes on a perceived personality which is just super fun for jokes and banter with them.

Where I work we often see tricolored bats. They’re just the cutest lil’ nuggets, killing off the local mosquitos. You go, wee nugget of the sky.

Ey, I guess it’s a breath of fresh air compared to mostly seeing support posts here.

FUCK

IT WASN’T.

I didn’t realize the cracked corn potential of my joke!

No, it’s corny! She’s always cracking puns and one liners, that Cathy.

The sequel to Sharkboy and Lavagirl we didn’t need.

Never tried myself, but I’ve two sets of pals that are in poly relationships. The best advice they gave my curious mind on the topic is “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no.” I’m still curious about trying some time, but it’s certainly not a “hell yes” for me.

I will say on the picky eating habit, that can be a common behavior seen in autistic folks. With me my picky eating stems from texture - if a food feels weird in my mouth I get nasty gag reflex or vomit. Doesn’t matter how often I try, there’s foods and ingredients that, if I chew on it, I will vomit. It fucking sucks. I have to swallow my edibles whole with water cause most gummies make me vomit if I chew them.

Obviously not all picky eating habits are autism related, but myself and the other autistic picky eaters I know are just as frustrated, if not more, about having those habits.

Being stuck on music though, that I can understand. Even with me having my comfort zones, it’s always an occasion worth celebrating when I find an artist or album that absolutely SLAPS me silly from how rad it is.

I ain’t gonna call them mediocre myself, and The Wall means a lot to me personally with my own life journey, but there’s absolutely better, more musically interesting prog rock groups out there than Pink Floyd.

Doom 2016 was made by id Software, owned by Bethesda.

Lessee…

First phone was a red Samsung feature with a feature phone around 2009, 2010 or so.

First computer of my own was an old IBM thing. Don’t remember the model, but it was just a simple black tower with a 16:10 monitor. 2 gigs RAM, 32gb hard drive, and a Pentium 4! It was too shit to render flashlights in HL2 Deathmatch but I played shit tons of that on it. Once it got a GPU and a 500 gig drive a while after, I clocked soooo many hours playing gmod and classic Doom on it as a kid.

Not for long. Iirc they’re planning on having them removed for purchase for good.

I haven’t been on a date in such a long time, so I’m afraid I can’t be much help here.

We have genuine, honest to God miracle super computers, and we use them to look at cats online. God bless our species.

Suppose I’ll have to grease your palms to convince ya, aren’t I?

Just imagine, the citizens of Fallout and the Elder Scrolls likely don’t bathe nearly as often as we’d want them. Just imagine how badly Belethor must smell of rotten cheese, or the amount of piss you’d find on raiders and the shit in their pants when they die.

Unreal 2: The Awakening

I never played the first one as a kid, but my little brother found a used copy of its sequel for the Xbox while in town with mom once. I was like, 9 years old at the time, and the game blew my dang mind! Big over the top first person action with all these cool looking guns, shooting these weird giggly aliens, their bodybuilding handler aliens, buncha dudes in power armor, all while on a big journey across space visiting many different worlds, it was so sick for me at the time!

Much later, I finally checked out the first game on PC and uh. Yeah. Yeeaaah Unreal 2 is kind of an insult to how majestic the first game was.

Unreal 2 is a bad game in comparison, and I will admit it! It’s slower, the enemies are mostly boring to fight compared to the Skaarj in the first game, the weapons are bog standard with little that makes them stand out, it very much suffered from “We can do Halo, too!” The story is kinda lame, the levels aren’t the most interesting to play in, and most importantly: It lacks that sense of adventure and wonder the first game was loaded with.

But man, when I was a kid? It was god damn cinematic to me.
