Fingers crossed the effects mentioned in the Chronos fight fixes an issue I had the other day - I was having a really good run with a strong build, but after the transition to phase 2 I was stuck in slow motion and stood no chance.

A significant portion of women have either been sexually assaulted or harassed. Being wary of men (especially strange men in the hypothetical vulnerable situation) makes perfect rational sense.

That was very quick! I expected the technical test to go on much longer than that!

Now it’ll be the dilemma of “do I buy it in early access knowing that it’ll be only a fraction of the content, or do I wait for 1.0?”

Life before death, Radiant.

I have two moods for this:

One is a playlist composed of most of the library of songs by PVRIS. I don’t know why, but their music just really clicks with me; I can listen to that playlist all day with no problems (I usually hate listening to the same song more than once or twice a day).

The other is a playlist of non-combat music from The Elder Scrolls. Really good for gentle background music.

Yarp.

Consider the TV show another turning of the Wheel. Nothing in it prevents you from enjoying the Source.

Interesting choice. As much as I love the setting, I couldn’t see myself living in a place that has hurricanes on a weekly basis.

I’ve got a pair of Loops and they’re absolutely game changing for me. I never realised how draining / overstimulating it was for me to go to shopping centres and restaurants until I suddenly didn’t have to deal with a barrage of noise.

I personally have the Loop Quiet, and can’t recommend them enough.

It’s funny, I’ve gotten so many questions from colleagues and friends about them at events over the last six months, and even though they’re (to my knowledge) allistic every single person has thought they’re a brilliant idea. I know I’ve “sold” at least 3 pairs out of half a dozen conversations about them.

I’m guessing it’s the manager of the former manager.

Thanks, same to you! We’ve been on this journey for a few years now, and the biggest things that have made a difference are communicating (particularly about when we’re feeling over / under stimulated) and actively working managing executive function blocks. I.e., “spoon theory”.

At the moment we’re getting pre-made meals delivered instead of trying to meal prep, since we save money on going out when we don’t manage to complete meal prep, which has the added benefits of reducing the “spoons” cost of grocery shopping / meal prep and freeing up those “spoons” for things like exercise.

Amongst other things for different kinds of stimulation, I am occasionally able to get my wife to do tippy taps when I can make her delightfully surprised, and it’s the most adorable thing ever.

Not me (self diagnosed ASD), but it fits my wife to a T. It’s been quite the journey for both of us to learn how to accommodate when different “parts” of the brain are in control.

Hi! I’d love Deserts of Kharak if that’s still available!

That’s a fair point. Maybe it comes down to “is this something that you expect should have been in the game to begin with, or is it something extra that the Devs have added over and beyond?”.

Definitely a very broad term to the point of near-meaninglessness though.

Congratulations to all the winners - they’re all very well deserved! No surprises here (though very pleased) to see BG3 clean house.

It’s very unfortunate for Insomniac that SM2 didn’t get any wins, but it goes to show how crazy good this year has been for gamers!

I think there’s a distinction - I would consider an “update” with new content to be something minor (such as BG3’s recent epilogue content). “Free DLC” to me is a much more hefty addition, such as the Godmaster DLC for Hollow Knight.

(Disclaimer: I’ve not watched this trailer since I’m at work)

As a teenager I ironically started saying “howdy” as a greeting. It’s now decades later and I still can’t break the habit.

I am in no way from the US, let alone parts of it that would say howdy on a regular basis.

People debate whether we landed on the moon - one of the wisest watched televised events ever. I would be surprised if a Livestream of him doing just that would be enough to avoid dozens of conspiracy theories.

I’m a locksmith, and, I’m a locksmith.
