1) Has anyone else been diagnosed with ASD as an adult? How did it make you feel?
I went through numerous emotions when I found out recently.
Guilt, for potentially passing it to my daughter who also has ASD.
Anger, that I struggled for over 50 years with a disability before it was noticed.

There's a cool @gamesradarplus.bsky.social feature about Mario that @hkt3030.neocities.org and I (mostly Nick) wrote. Give it a read to celebrate Mario's 40th.

40 years later, Mario is still the ultimate gaming mascot: "He's got that Mickey Mouse effect"

It's a busy time of the year now with three more magazines to finish before the end of 2025. One goes sometime today, the other two just in time for Christmas. It's going to be a much-needed break before 2026 starts up.

I really enjoyed the original Lumo, but the sequel just isn't grabbing me at all. The floaty controls really let it down.
