| I have been realizing that by hiding myself and interests, I look like I am in the uncanny valley and I am a robot. However, sometimes I am not opening too much. I teased coworkers a little bit, I talked a little bit about nootropics, and video games, but other topics seem hidden below the surface a... |

| To start off, I was sitting by myself at my place feeling bored and unfulfilled, so I decided to take a trip to the big bad city looking for some fun and excitement as well as explore around by myself, figuring out my life and ask myself questions such as: Who am I? What am I going to do in this li... |

| As the previous person said comment on their doodles or just chit chat. Try to do it casually and without emphasis on it. |

| Yeah I have been slowly learning PySDL and working on a few game ideas. I also want to work on a few remake of DOS like games. I have some other programs I am working on first, but I am slowly working through my programs and finishing them up. |

| I have felt this way since 08. I might play some games here and there but mostly stick to Sim City and Civilization. There are some Dos games I dig into, but I really don't play new stuff as much. I might try Hotline Miami, but that is about it. Now building my own games, yep. |

| Wondering what reason there are to play SimCity (4 or 5) Beyond looking at pretty buildings, what is there to the game? To me it is nurturing a city and then a region until it becomes something larger than life. Also you notice how it takes on it's own little culture. I also like the mods as it kee... |

| Have any of you dug into the Internet Archive's Game Collection? There are some real gems in there and many you can play from your browser. I really enjoyed Tokyo Wars but plan on diving into some other titles as time permits. |

| Now I will grant you there might be more that they are not letting on, but after going through a good chunk of their documents, I don't recall seeing arresting LGBTQ people or other things. Did I see neoconservatism on full display and some other worrying stuff? Yeah. Is most of it weak pandering BS... |

| I think I could work as a gardener for rich people. They have estates and would like people to take care of pretty flowers. Landscapers typically don't have a clue as to how to properly care for plants or even know what plants they should buy! Most likely I'd get to work all alone when the guys who... |

| Autistic people who can, often do. But, starting a business is rather involved if you want to be successful. It's a large part of why I'm getting an accounting certificate. Good call on accounting. I would get my apprenticeship, but I doubt most firms would allow part time work with my job. Good on... |

| I know this is going to sounds a bit heady, but after reading things like Edward Bernays, Marshall McLuhan, and Carl Jung, things can seem so abstracted that they don't seem real. For instance, I know many of us are a bit more resistant to propaganda than neurotypicals, so when you see simple things... |

| Absolutely. It's a nightmare! On the plus side, you're in a city. I'm in the middle of nowhere out in the countryside. Personally my main issue is location. I meant to sort out getting a new driving instructor but I kept forgetting about it. I don't know whether to focus on lessons and try to get a... |

But then after I got turned down for a few jobs, the number of jobs in my industry in that jobs dropped sharply in a month (... |
