  • I’ve spent 5 years wanting to play The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time on my computer. Finally bought a USB to Controller port thing and the buttons were like not mapping in a way that made sense. Change a few buttons and they’re still wrong. Really frustrating lol So I unplugged it and turned it off. I could always play on my Game Cube or N64 but was thinking of streaming it so yeah. I’ll sort it out but had had enough for the day at that point.

    Been playing some Marvel Rivals and it’s just like Overwatch but better. Except their ‘Lucio Ball’/Rocket League mode suuuuuuucks and is mega frustrating since the ball detection is janky. Anyway yeah I also hate getting bitched at by damage dealers when I’m the only healer. Or when they run off and die in some random place. Like yeah my person I can’t heal you on the other side of the map while I have a DPS or two tunneling me as everyone ignores that I’m dying.



  • Indeed it is. I’ve said before in other posts that it’s insane how you can’t watch local sports without a cable plan unless you watch the NFL. And the NFL is moving in that direction too though the only positive is that if the team is in your local market for the time being you can still see it on broadcast TV unlike the MLB. For me at least I’m not incentivized to pay for every subscription service to get access to games. Nor am I going to pay that insane $80 a month Hulu w/ TV, Sling, etc bullshit that’s just cable TV but streamed.







  • For me a lot of meltdowns feel like spiraling. Unable to communicate how I feel, feeling alone/separated, racing thoughts that run the gamete from anxious to depressing. Typically I want to reach out and connect to someone but I can’t and that makes it worse somehow. It’s scary to deal with especially as a lot of it feels so irrational yet it has a real impact.





  • No experience with that book, but a lot of literature has autistim coded characters. Lot, well sort of, debate in the Warhammer 40k communities about a fair number of autism coded characters there. I can’t remember who all they’ve said since I avoid a lot of the conversations but if I remember right a fair number of Space Marines, and their ‘traitor’ brethren are ‘autistic’.




  • Started off feeling really strong, but found myself dropping a lot of stuff. On the fence about Dedede Demons since it feels like it could be interesting or just boring bait. This season of Yuru Camp /_\ has been good. Not as strong as S1 but much more fun than S2. 7th Prince toes a line but has been fun. Jellyfish Can’t Swim is really good though maybe one or two clunky episodes. Re:Monster started off interesting but by episode 2 or 3 it was clearly an edgy self insert desire fest built on rape and ‘hur hur me MC’, so… fuck that show.

    I’ve watched maybe 60 to 70% of what has aired this season and it’s been an okay season anime. Some surprises and returns to excellence (Sound! being back was nice). But also a lot of unmemorable shows that hovered around a 5 or 6.


  • As someone who has matched this description, still do but in different ways, forcing your idea of ‘normal’ on them isn’t going to help them. It’s more to make yourself feel better.

    Life sucks. It’s not your choice how they cope with the suck. Also that you think they’ll just be able to start going on dates or whatever is laughable to me. But that’s me. I empathize with your roommate in so many ways and fully hope they pack their stuff and leave instead of putting up with your ‘good intentions’.



  • Yeah that’s pretty ridiculous. In the KC market the Royals (MLB) are only on Fox Sports (in some like KC specific package), Chiefs are on broadcast tv, Sporting (MLS) is only on Apple TV I think now. We have no NHL or NBA team but those are all on various cable channels and/or ESPN plus.

    More and more stuff is forced onto cable (like almost all of March Madness was only on cable tv). And of course all the stuff split out onto streaming stuff. It’s such a shitshow and only getting worse.
