    Looks like the downvoters are chasing you again. Must be putting in work, fuckem.

    I don’t get the same enjoyment from computer games that I used to. (I played heaviest when in highschool which was miserable and during my first marriage, which was hell) I rarely watch TV when alone. Tend to read or tinker, do some hardware hacking or whittling.

    These days it’s a good way to spend time with my girl. Finishing up a Supernatural rewatch currently.

    But yeah, it’s weird, I just don’t enjoy it the way I used to. Not that I don’t understand why people enjoy gaming so much. I’ve got a badass computer that I don’t think I’ve installed a game on. It’s built for CAD so it’s real beefy.

    That, or I’m just becoming an old fart and casual gaming is more my speed.

    My girl is high functioning, I’m crazy AF, but typical. When we were in a triad, that partner was high functioning as well. In the BDSM community, autists are so over represented compared to gen pop it’s wild. I don’t know what causes it, it’s probably a field that needs investigated. I tend to get along with autistic folks, always have, I think it’s a compatible communication style, I tend to over define by typical standards. Also, y’all don’t seem to lie much.

    I’m a music lover and had music lessons on guitar and sax as a kid. However, I lack musical talent. I’m missing that spark that lets music flow and I can’t improvise or even come up with an original melody or rhythm. I just wasn’t born with it.

    My talents are mechanical and artistic. I’m better at sculpture than drawing or painting.

    You don’t have to have a reason to make a video game other than you want to. Maybe it makes money, maybe it doesn’t. Completing something you built, you put art and science into it, that’s a powerful thing. Taking an idea and making it real is an addictive thing. (Probably has a lot to do with why I love machining so much.) You should do it. Don’t wait until you’ve moved, no reason you can’t start.

    Laying down and don’t have headphones, I’ll have to listen to it tomorrow.

    Hope you have a goodnight.
