Funny thing I recently discovered, aphantasia has many traits in common with autism, which is kinda fascinating.

For the longest time I thought I have some weird form of autism because way too many things fit the description, but some of the crucial details didn't fit me.

Then I discovered that research and suddenly I knew why.

Yep, I always thought "imagining" something was really just an euphemism for thinking about it.

Yep, can confirm, can't imagine anything, but my dreams work well. They're usually not very clear, but a few times I had trouble distinguishing dreams from real life.

I mean, it does bother me, but there's nothing I can do about it.

I don't assume it looks like anything, I simply know there's a lake, I have no idea (nor do I care much) what it looks like. I can't imagine what a lake I've seen in the past looks like.

If the water is yellow and boiling, I'll remember it because I know water in a lake usually isn't yellow and boiling, I just don't have any visual aide for that.

It's kinda hard to explain, if you show me a picture with a yellow lake, I know it's wrong because I've seen lakes, but if you ask me to describe one, it's gonna be really hard for me and you won't get many details.

If it turns out any of the visual things was important, I'll simply read it again and mechanically remember the details, but mechanical memory is kinda limited in what it can hold, so I avoid that unless I find out that it's worth remembering.

I hate descriptions, and I have a really hard time when there's more than a paragraph focusing on descriptions of what things look like.

Other than that it's fine, though I sometimes have to trace back because I often skip parts that look description-y and some authors like to slip in some piece of crucial information.

Well, you can install any Linux distro and play there. For example Nobara, which is gaming focused.

Do you like the half-maintained and rarely updated Linux builds more? I sure don't.

If they don't look like insects, why not.

They're really not that expensive anymore, year by year they're less enthusiast-only and more general consumer friendly.

Bambu A1 or A1 Mini can comfortably print it with the desired quality.

I mean, they can't really tell you "here is a torrent with the necessary assets."

They have to pretend they don't know what pirating is so that Ubisoft's lawyers can pretend that's not what's really happening for a huge chunk of the users.

So yeah, you can buy it (it's usually cheap on GOG) or you can pirate it if that's your thing.

Yeah, that one would be huge, it's pretty much the only thing I envy Mac users.

Oh my fucking god, can they stop already? They've been protested to hell and back like 5 times already about exactly this issue.

I really hope someone exposes their secret affairs to prove why encryption is important.

Not even the central Europe, kurva.

Among English speaking countries. I doubt you'd beat mine if it was interlingual analysis.

Unrelated, but thanks for that site! Now I know what my neighbours download.

Portal - Still Alive

Definitely better than Windows lately, which is kinda amusing. Have you tried reinstalling Windows from scratch lately?

That's not being lazy, that's pretty much using the tool that was made exactly for this purpose.

Of course.
