Thanks for your answers everyone, we read them all. She considers autism a more serious possibility than before she read them so they helped

Eh I would argue that the Cuba episode and the airplane episodes differ on how the subject matter is presented. In the Cuba ep it is played straight, while in the airplane episode Archer is depicted as a racist and is the butt of the joke

Does this get any better? Season one was a fun comedy but the politics were disgusting

I can't even play a video game and lose without getting triggered. Because r/ADHD discouraged conversations about RSD I doubted it even existed for some time, so I get your frustration

What the fuck is whataboutism about that post. They just meant that some people deserve to die because of the atrocities they commited. Do you honestly believe that a serial child molester can be reformed? Would subjecting them to a lifelong stay at a labor camp be better?

Afaik the black/white in Gunbuster's episode 6 wasn't a budget thing but a stylistic choice

It's math. You don't really use the scientific method

Katamari Damacy is very cute game about a tiny prince that ralls up stuff into a ball and pretty much a stress ball in video game form. The soundtrack is great and there is nothing else like it.

ROCD is another nice one. If you voice a thought that distresses you, people pile on you to tell you to break up for your partner's sake, that you are a piece of shit etc, as if you have done or intend to do anything wrong. I understand that many people have gotten burned in relationships so they project those bad past experiences on the sufferer but still

My bowel is completely fucked so it checks out

It has ZeroRanger which is a 10/10 videogame for cheaper than the Steam price so try that as well

I just finished Ys VIII and Katana Zero.

Ys was very good, even if they upped the anime cringe compared to 2003-2007 Falcom games, it still had the best gameplay loop in the series. Searching for castaways and seeing your village grow in a deserted island while spamming your flashy animu skills and swapping between characters is just so fun.

The bosses are easy and the game allows you to pause and heal similarly to BOTW but I needed to relax this week so it was fitting. The music is also great as well.

Katana Zero is the most cinematic game I have ever played thanks to the great mechanics and level design, with a ton of action movie-like setpieces the one after the other. Too bad it's unfinished because I was hooked by the story but it's still worth it.

X4 is really good. If you play buster only and don't abuse weapon weaknesses, the bosses are some of the best in 2D platformers if that's your thing

It just feels soulless. I think the systems it has are very good if you like ARPGs a lot, but the rest of the game is just Chrono Trigger if it was completely bland. The game feels like someone just thought of making a better PoE without having any artistic vision and that's a big turnoff for me

I don't know if I am codependent but I have certainly ignored my needs a lot of times because of my anxious attatchment style (which I believe I developed due to being abandoned by friends in adolescence as well as moving out 2 times as a kid) so it's encouraging to hear you are getting by, thanks

Sounds like you have done a lot of good. I hope you end up doing something to your liking

thing that’s worrying me is whether my relationship will weather the transition to cohabitation or not (especially given that we are probably both neurodivergent in different and often conflicting ways, for example I am hyperactive while she

Thanks a ton, this must have taken a ton of time to write. We are definitely getting better at the parallel play thing (it's me who took some time to get adjusted to not getting all the attention from my gf after the infatuation phase of the rel) so I don't worry about that anymore. And we are communicating things that annoy us, hurt us etc so we will be OK on that front. I guess I am overthinking things as usual.

Are you a therapist by any chance (if you don't want to answer for opsec reasons it's OK obviously)? Because your answers are more empathetic and helpful that the professionals I have been to. I think you would be really good at it

I will end up as a labor aristocrat (software dev at large company) so that's the source of the concern
