An old shoe. Just one. You can even tie it on by the laces.

They do make little 1-serving packets of PB, kind of like the ones for BBQ sauce or honey mustard. Sometimes you can find them at hotel continental breakfasts.

I appreciate that. I have a partner who is on the spectrum and has ADHD as well.

I was only joking in the pedantic style often associated (rightly or wrongly) with autistic traits. ASD is the official DSM-5 term. Of course being a diagnostic manual, that focuses only on behavioral deficits. As I understand, the DSM gets plenty of criticism because like you mention, it omits all the interesting ways folks cope or even creatively use abilities like hyperfocus for positive outcomes. But on the other hand, I'm not sure successful behavior requires any psychological treatment, so that may be unnecessary to include in the first place.

Anyway, I think this is one of many situations where simple terminology doesn't capture the full nuance of reality. So apologies if that came across as crude.

Akshually it's called Autism Spectrum Disorder

Wait, so I could have handed over my friend Greg in exchange for one more drink at the bar the other night? Hmm. He drinks more than me so I think he would've understood.

I saw a comment a while ago where someone calculated the equivalent wealth of fictional dragons (e.g. by estimating the dimensions of Smaug's vast gold trove in The Hobbit) and determined that real billionaires are far worse hoarders of money. Like 1000x worse.

I should try to find that comment again.

Omg I've wanted something like this for a long time. Thanks!

I don't know what GOG galaxy is but I assume it's a storefront like Steam.

Yep, basically that. No you don't need it to launch games, I would skip it if this is your only game from GOG.

Sounds like if you run by opening Galaxy and hitting play, it won't be the native version and will run through Rosetta 2 but if you run it from your applications folder it's the native version. This is a bit odd because that makes it sound like by default what you have installed is BOTH versions which sounds like an awful waste of disk space

I don't game on Mac these days but that seems very plausible.

If you do want another launcher option, Heroic works on Mac. I'm not sure if it gives any different options on what version to install. https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

The original Kerbal Space Program is another. You can uninstall Steam completely but still launch the game just fine. It's actually pretty handy if you want separate mod loadouts, just copy the whole directory.

In contrast to this exec and many of the responses, another Steam Next Fest is happening right now! Go play free demos of upcoming games, 99% of which are Indies you've probably not yet heard of.

Haha that's great, I didn't even consider that possible point of confusion.

Side note, way too many things were named after one lady.

Beef Tea. At least according to many Victorians.

Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it's the best ever but it's 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there's also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it's not instant gratification y'know?

Once you bake a pan though it's pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you're not too concerned with your waistline.

Edit: Oh and a box is like $3 at Big Lots. But you do have to supply an egg and cooking oil.

Moi non plus

Mais bien sûr

Ceci n'est pas un signe

A friend and I had a little fun with Ultimate Chicken Horse. It's a goofy little Mario Maker type of game where you create levels and challenge each other to complete them but I think you can also run through them cooperatively.

Checks out. Meep meep.

Ok. Can they write? Can they understand the concept of written language enough to hold a sign like that for others to read? 😏
