    What video game are you currently playing?

    im currently playing, or was in the process before I got sick, Assassin Creed Origins. I adore the Egypt that the devs created. And the history details they’ve included in, is just wonderful to experience. Whilst it’s obviously not entirely accurate, I hold the view point that anyone consumes...

    Super Scared Into Full Time Work

    Hi, there! I know this is out of the blue, but I want to ask this because I'm feeling very down about myself and I desperately need some input for those that are out on the field. I'm a 30 year old male living in Tennessee. I got my degree on December 31, 2017 with a GPA of 3.94. I was so proud...

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider

    One of my special interests is video games. I don’t talk about it with most people my age because I get weird reactions to being dismissed or asked if I think I’m too old for video games. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It comes out Friday but I preordered it...

    Is it possible to be addicted to video games?

    This morning the mother of one of my students phoned me and told me that she was angry and worried about her son, because he was spending all his free time playing video games, and staying up all night to play on school days, not studying for school and getting poor grades. I suggested that they...

    I'm new, any nerds out there?

    Hello, I'm new to the site- let me introduce myself :) I was diagnosed as having high-functioning autism about a decade ago. I just moved to a new city in the Midwest which, sadly, does not have a lot of options or opportunities for me to meet other people- especially others on the spectrum-...

    If you are or were a video gamer

    For how long did you use to play? I’m wondering because my seven-year-old son has been obsessed about the same game (Splatoon and Splatoon 2) for aproximately six months, and could play the whole day, if he has nothing else to do. He also watches a lot of videos of other people playing the game...

    Opposing Opinions - Why Do They Bother Me So Much?

    Hello, just thought I'd bring up discussion about an issue that's been troubling me for some time. It's basically the act of getting triggered or sensitive over an opposing opinion that may be expressed quite harshly. Sometimes I get afraid to like something of a high popularity that despite...

    Choosing dialogue options

    Anyone else have difficulty picking between different dialogue options? Especially when you're on a timer? For example, in TellTale games like The Wolf Among Us, The Wolking Dead, etc. I often find that my lines of choice end up different than I had assumed. Not different by much, but...

    Critical Thinking is Still Valued

    Critical thinking is the foster child of the American Dream. I say this because most of the critical thinkers who came our way during the latter 20th Century were considered pariahs or mavericks. Maybe they were just Aspies like us? The establishment ridiculed Bill Gates when he started to...

    Let's Players

    I'm obsessed with Let's Plays. But I've unsubscribed from some channels recently, for being too loud, using extreme slurs, or stagnating (using the same inside jokes for YEARS). Now, I'm down to four favorites: HarshlyCritical, Lucahjin, Cryaotic and KuuEater. I only found HarshlyCritical a...

    Does anyone else play Pokemon Reborn?

    I've been playing this game called Pokemon Reborn a lot lately. It's much harder than regular pokemon games, and it has a much darker storyline. It's also not that well known (from what I've seen online anyway). I'm just curious, does anyone else play Pokemon Reborn?
