Weird! It’s showing up okay for me. It freaks out sometimes if itch goes down tho.

I mean, yes, and also it’s a fantastic game

I’ll check this out, thanks for the link!

The tension point is super interesting, because I can absolutely see where artists exploring the idea of “otherness” feels relatable and important for many neurodivergent folks, but can feel indulgently voyeuristic or humorous for some neurotypical folks.

100%. I love the metaphor that, yes, navigating the world is uncomfortable and awkward, but also achievable and something you’re able to practice enough to grow a sense of familiarity and control where others might give up.

Yep. Self expression outside of the “expected” means of communication.

In games I see this manifest a lot in both narrative and gameplay. Being an outsider in an alien world, embodying a character with intentionally awkward controls, exploring nuance and discomfort in narrative/choice, achievements for going off the beaten path, creating safe spaces for practice, etc.

Love you too! ♥️

Yeah! I’ve never really exercised until recent years when my lack of strength caught up to me.

As a hypermobile girlie I have also had so many doctors be like “do yoga!” and never realized that could be harmful to my squishy ligaments until a PT saw me and was like “oh girl never stretch.”

As an added bonus, my posture has improved a ton and my abs are ripped as hell so

This is your sign to do light core exercises every day
