If you're comfortable in your skin, don't worry too much about it. But looking further into autistic communities and their struggles and solutions can still help you see issues you weren't aware of or find coping mechanisms for things you didn't realize could be easier.

Worth pursueing a diagnosis? Probably not.worth looking into? I'd say yes. But go with your gut :)

Yay, more Konsi!

Like liquorice, the really intense one (salmiak). i don't think English has a word for it, since it was not recognized as a flavor before.

The thing is, I know the flavor but wouldn't know how to describe it to someone who doesn't. Asian (Korean and Chinese, to be precise) friends told me it tasted like medicine to them, because apparently it's a common flavor in traditional medicine for them?

Edited for typos.

The easiest way is to say "this is the rules as written, deal with it, we don't do homebrew here" for me. The people I met in game spaces where not the type to reach a consensus quickly. I guess I've just been unlucky.

I envy you for having those kinds of people to play with!

You are just bringing examples where insecure people who struggle with social skills (hi, nice to meet you) would not be able to handle it.

You kinda completely blazed past my point while confirming it. Clearly for you rules light is great. I'm trying to tell you there's people who are not you and who need more rules to even dare to try.

Neiter you nor the person you're replying to is wrong, but the way I see it you're coming from different angles.

You're coming from the view of an experienced GM, while the person before you worries about people getting in the game or struggle with their social skills.

Imho, both ruleset have their place and everything depends on the group, what they want, what their personalities are and how experienced they are.

I would never run a table because I don't think I could handle it if one of the players got combative, and that danger is higher when you go rules light I would guess.

If you are concerned about environment, maybe look for companies that make software for public transport. DB Systems, Init Group, PTVgroup are some companies of the top of my head. DB Systems is not the best working climate (or at least used to be, I had someone close to me work there and they hated it a few years ago).

My understanding of that article was that it was not necessarily about duplicated code, but duplicated data. If you have two places storing the same data, and different parts of your app go to each of it, you need to somehow keep them in sync, and that's often a pain.

I'm trying to be very rigorous about avoiding that, duplicated code I'm a bit less rigorous about.

Agreed! A good meme will make me laugh even if I've seen it before, unless it was three times yesterday.

Same!

My routine still makes me open rif before I even notice :(

But it seems a lot of my communities I followed on reddit for my professional area don't seem fazed at all and I don't find much other places for that area, so I probably am stuck at reddit for the foreseeable future :( at least lemmy doesn't seem to have any.
