    What video game are you currently playing?

    Around here it's absolutely dropping the L out of words, for some. My mother can't say wolf, she says woof. She doesn't say cold, she says code. Or even worse... Warsh, instead of wash. Oh, it drives me bonkers. It's usually older people that still speak that way, though. As the area has become...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    I'm in the US, in Kentucky. So, I'm a de facto hillbilly. It's funny, because even though I avoid online gaming, I have spoken to some people in other parts of the world on my headset, and I've gotten reactions like, "WHOA. You are from the south." Which to us, we all sound this way. But the...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    I actually had a friend do that as well. She taught in the JET program. She apparently did it long enough that she started dreaming in Japanese instead of English. But that's fascinating about the accent. We English speakers of course just get used to what we mostly hear, but it really is a very...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    It's interesting how voiceovers do that. It's become pretty common for Japanese developers to seek British voice actors for RPG games, because the developers feel the accents are more appropriate for the games than North American English speakers. It just seems hard to have any sort of...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    Black and White is a classic. Peter Molyneux of course is out of the picture now, but I'm very excited to see what Playground Games does with the Fable franchise. I really hope they can recapture Lionhead's quirky British humor, which it helps that Playground is also a British studio. It's a...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    I pulled the trigger and purchased Star Ocean: The Divine Force on Steam last night. I got to play an hour before bed, and so far, it seems the franchise is moving in the right direction again. I'm very excited to play more this weekend and see how it pans out.

    So, I think I'm autistic and I need some input

    I'm pretty fortunate that a lot of my family seems to accept/agree that I probably am autistic. My mother went as far as to voluntarily apologize to me, and just said she never knew. But I'd tell you I was very controlling until I started recovery after my total breakdown. I think it's hard...

    So, I think I'm autistic and I need some input

    I have a cousin on my mom's side that had level 3 autism, and some other complications, but she was severely disabled. She was 36 when she died, but she essentially had the mind of a small child. I had told my brother that I think I might be autistic, and he just completely dismissed it. People...

    So, I think I'm autistic and I need some input

    I'm in a less urban part of the US, and I'd tell you mental health care here is pretty hard to get, because a lot of insurers won't even cover it. When I had what I think was my full-blown burnout, I just wound up saddled with thousands of dollars of medical dept from hospital/doctor visits...

    So, I think I'm autistic and I need some input

    Appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I am very heavily considering a diagnosis. It just causes me some distress thinking about it because the process seems very inconsistent, and almost just entirely depends on what specialist you manage to see. It seems like a lot of autism resources around here...

    The two worst things you can think of?

    I'm so utterly insane about dental hygiene that it disturbs my wife. I literally gag myself every morning brushing my teeth, because I'm not satisfied until the teeth and my tongue are all offensively clean and sanitized with the old school yellow Listerine. I probably floss my teeth twice a day...

    The two worst things you can think of?

    Having blood drawn. I have a full blown phobia of syringes. Having to leave a voicemail, because I hate the sound of my voice and I always screw up the message, and voicemails rarely have a do over option. Voicemails are forever until deleted by the owner of the phone. They can just listen to...

    So, I think I'm autistic and I need some input

    Yeah, I really think it might have been full blown burnout. I just fell apart. Quit my job all of a sudden, had to have my aunt come pick me up at the store I was quitting mid shift, then I got home and freaked out so bad my wife had to take me to the hospital. When it was all said and done, I...

    So, I think I'm autistic and I need some input

    Appreciate your feedback. I have really studied this, and I do think at the time I was really distressed and probably did show signs of BPD. But a lot has changed since then, I really miss that doctor. She was just way too good. What's weird is, my wife was diagnosed with Crohn's this year. She...

    So, I think I'm autistic and I need some input

    I used to play WoW when I was in high school, and I just loved collecting things. My friends would try to get me to raid and run dungeons, and it just causes me so much stress and I never really realized what it was that made it so difficult for me. It just was never really enjoyable. I love RPG...
