Technically correct, but that's not how it's actually used.
Gigabit is not used in any meaningful context outside of as a measure of data transfer rates.
I've seen some metal communities (mostly death- and black metal), but generally it's mostly just people posting links to songs, so not much discussion going on.
There are a couple of studies on this, and the findings are admittedly kind of scattered, but here are some key points.
One study suggests as much as 50% of people on the spectrum have at least four (or more) comorbid conditions (a vast variety of things, e.g. ADD, intellectual disabilities etc).
Another study found that 95% of children with ASD had comorbidities.
Again, the rain man trope is rather strongly rooted in our sociocultural reality tunnel.
I've met a lot of people on the spectrum in my life (about 1% of the population are diagnosed, after all), and almost all of them have also had either ADD, intellectual disabilities, medical disabilities like Crohn's disease, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, PCOS, hormonal or chromosomal disorders and/or other psychological conditions like schizophrenia or other schizotypal disorders BPD, bipolar disorder etc.
The fact is that a Sheldon Cooper is kind of a unicorn among autistics.
But truthfully, my observation that most autistics are below average intelligence is almost entirely anecdotal (yet with a rather sizeable sample pool), because admittedly I'm struggling to find any hard data on it.
Some figures I've seen say 32% have below 70, 25% have 70-84, 40% have 85-115, with only about 3% being above 115.
But here's at least one study finding that 55% of autistic kids have an intellectual disability (below 70 IQ).
People still think of autism in like... Rain Man-terms.
As much as people like to think popular depictions (The Big Bang Theory, Abed in Community, etc) of autistic behavioral patterns are somehow furthering "the cause" (whatever that is) - ultimately, they amount to little more than vaudeville and can be incredibly damaging to people who don't "seem autistic".
It's very tiring to assure people that yes, you are indeed autistic, when all they know is Sheldon Cooper and Raymond Babbitt.
Especially annoying if they think you're some sort of genius, when the average autistic's intelligence generally is lower than average.
Especially now that so many fucking lunatic autistics are committing atrocities.
If you're obviously greatly disabled autistic=not threatening
High functioning autistic=liability
I was diagnosed 20 years ago, and even I had a very hard time recognizing and accepting that my own partner is also autistic (now diagnosed as an adult).
But then again, it seems to manifest dramatically different in men v.s. women, as well as there not really being any depictions of autistic women in media for the longest time.
And a gigantic part of autistic women no doubt went undiagnosed for a long time (and still are).
I like it, but haven't played more than a few hours.
The voice acting and (most) character faces feel insanely dated, though.
Fantasy just comes off weird in an American accent.
The game runs poorly and doesn't really look and feel that great considering the processing cost, but that's just Unreal Engine 5 being shit.
Those are my biggest complaints.
Combat is pretty engaging and I think it's pretty cool, but it can be kind of health-spongey. Feels like it needs some work to feel better and more fluid.
The story seems okay, although I haven't gotten far.
Kind of generic fantasy akin to Divinity Original Sin 2/Baldur's Gate 3 or Pillars of Eternity (duh).
Honestly, I like that it's not just another murder hobo simulator and has a bit more focused story.
It's a pretty solid 6-7/10, which is fine.
Maybe it'll grow on me, but there's no chance of it becoming another Cyberpunk 2077.
Hopefully they learned from making this and The Outer Worlds 2 is a lot better than the first one.
I've been punching nazis and Italian fascists (as well as shooting, crushing skulls with heavy objects, blowing them up etc) in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle since around christmas.
