is autism coded characters a thing?
  • Yeah definitely a thing. I'm not familiar with the book you had mentioned, but I know from the show Bones, the main character Temperance Brennan, is very autism coded. It's never officially indicated, in the show, what her deal is when it comes to social interactions, but it's been hinted on officially by staff and writers that she is autistic to some degree. It's not a very accurate portrayal of high functioning autism, however it technically counts I guess?

  • Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam
  • Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I think my misunderstanding comes from being a kbm gamer and just not experiencing games that took proper advantage of those features. I kind of just assumed we were talking about the same rumble from a PS2 or 360 controller. I hadn't realized it's become so much more advanced.

  • Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam
  • Honest question, is vibration that important of a feature in your opinion? I don't think I notice it all too much whether it's there or not, so I don't really have much of a preference and wouldn't consider this a deal breaker. I didn't realize people felt strongly about it. Is it an immersion thing?

  • Character posters for "Borderlands"
  • I've said it before, I'll say it again, this is going to be hot garbage on an August afternoon. I'm convinced this is going to be as closely related to the source material as the Wanted movie was.

  • Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly
  • I watched a few gameplay videos, but nothing educational. I was just looking for a demo to see what it played like and figured the game would guide me the rest of the way. I'm being completely honest, I never figured out how to play with anyone else. I went to the main room, picked my mission, shot down by myself and died repeatedly. I never thought to try the quick play option. I promise I'm not trolling or trying to yuck anyone else's yum, I just don't think I'm made for the game or the game is made for me.

    I definitely appreciate the info you gave me. If I ever do decide to give it another shot, I'll keep that information in mind, but I don't think that'll be happening anytime soon. I've got plenty of other games in my library to keep me busy without this weird learning curve

  • I'm bummed I missed my window to return it through steam. I downloaded it, gave it a couple tries and just couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing or when the fun was supposed to start. I couldn't figure out how to play with other people or what guns I was supposed to use against whatever enemy. None of it made sense and seemed like it was all just hype with no substance. It's still in my library, but I don't think it'll ever get a reinstall. I wish I could just gift it to someone else

  • Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining
  • I think there's an argument to be made for a decrease in computer ownership. In my line of work, over the past ~10 years, there has been an increasing number of people who only interact with our services through just their smartphone and just don't own a laptop or PC.

    I know my folks have switched to Chromebooks primarily. Both my older brother and younger brother in law do not own laptops or PCs. One of my younger sisters has a laptop, and the other a gaming PC. I personally own a pc and laptop. Computers are in a weird place right now.
