Based Gordon the true proletrainiat. He's the squidward to Thomas's SpongeBob

I too think about it a lot but i have watched it recently

Cos its not thomas at all its actually Gordon. Amd Gordon is mad at the lack of trains in america

Internally i know what i am supposed to do but externally I'm now stunlocked while my brain cycles through 500 dialogue options and then i end up saying something really out of pocket and weirding people out. I don't care so much anymore but it made my 20's unlivable

This was like the first NT social cue i learned and know it very well and have to do it almost daily and I still fuck it up constantly. My brain automatically always wants to answer it literally it takes so much mental overriding to not do that but the "correct" answer always comes out stilted then i forget to ask it back

i treat interactions with NT people as PvP.

Probably the most enlightening thing I've heard. It really is like that isn't it

But this makes sense because i want to know other people's hunger levels to make a decision on what to do about it. The followup question is usually about what kind of food and when and coming to a consensus on what eataging will satisfy our differing hunger levels.

If I'm asking a rando colleague out to lunch my question literally just is. "Pub?" And i get a yay or nay

Completely destroyed my own sanity by memorising a complex set of rules and over analysing everything to the point of mental exhaustion only to still get it wrong or be left in such an ambiguous state I can never know the true answer.

The same button never does the same thing twice.

I remember years ago wondering why interaction wasn't deterministic and asking over and over "what is wrong with me" practically to the brink of suicide. Didn't actually figure out I was autistic until recently. Honestly the only thing that helped was becoming racist to NT's and masking only enough to basic interactions and work related shit. I only have 1 NT friend but he's built different and genuinely tries his best to understand me in a way that he can be accommodating to my needs.

I also had a friend who would confuse me with subtext i never understood knowing it confused me then would call me an idiot for not understanding and i just let them do this to me for years.

I actually never finished advent children because i found it really boring. Which happens to be the opinion people have of this movie which as a kid i would watch on loop without even blinking. I have superior taste is why

Vertical tabs and tab groups are mandatory for me, gonna switch at some point. Been waiting for exactly this kind of browser for ages

There's nothing scarier than a disney adult

Graphics can be good while also being well optimised but the issue here is a big commercial engine like unreal is designed to cut labour hours not run well. Crapitalism.

Most new graphics technologies could with clever application be used to enhance a game however it may be that it's used to cut dev time. For example:

• upscaling and framegen to avoid the optimisation pass towards the end of development
• raytracing to avoid carefully designed baked lightmaps
• nanite to avoid making LOD's, nanite isn't magic it has its own major issues
• software rtgi also is a cheap way to avoid just using decent baked lights and it ue5 looks awful with so much artifacting
• automatic terrain generation to ynow

The effects aren't really intended to elevate the game but to reduce the cost of labour making them. An engine that both looks good and performs well takes a very long time to develop but instead you get the fuzzy ue5 mess where every game looks the same and runs terribly with perpetual stutter
