    GTA Survey!

    I’m going for the popular, classic, “boring” options of San Andreas and Vice City, but those are the ones I played the most and sank the most time into. San Andreas in particular. The big and the small. The map size, all the little Easter eggs, shout outs and references to the local area here...

    Aye, exactly!

    Do you like SPAM?

    Ahh, I’ve already been beaten to the joke about the e-mail inbox flooding, virus carrying, fraud type! But as for the food version, I’ll definitely eat that. Not sure if they have these elsewhere, but in the UK the deep fried spam fritter is so popular they sell pre packaged official versions...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    We already know this, but they ran the numbers and did the maths. Games really do perform better on Linux, even when going through an extra layer such as Wine or Proton. Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds

    Radio Advice, Please

    That’s no problem. I’ve used aux cords and headphone wires as antennas. It can be a lot of fun experimenting with antennas, but don’t worry about the numbers. Things like impedance matching are critical for transmitting, but can be viewed as a fun point of experimentation when only receiving...

    Radio Advice, Please

    Right now I’m using a Tecsun PL-600 which I’ve owned since 2018 and I use it daily and can vouch for it. It covers longwave, medium wave and shortwave, 100kHz to 30MHz with very little gaps. Ham radio veterans consider it to be a solid mid ground radio, so I take that to mean a great radio. It...

    Imaged based mind and flash-forwards.

    I can relate, these do sound like autistic traits. The first thing you describe sounds like catastrophising. Autism and catastrophising We are highly sensitive to anxiety. This hypersensitivity to anxiety coupled with high creativity leads to the brain coming up with all kinds of distressing...

    Hi Everyone =) did you know kites can help with autism

    It’s been a long time since I’ve flown a kite, but I do have fond memories. I made a sled kite when I was a kid using strong paper. It was basic, just plain white with a plane and UK Royal Air Force markings drawn on it and 2 round holes for aerodynamics, but it worked great. The problem was...

    Time to get through our movie and video game backlogs!

    Inspired by this thread, https://www.autismforums.com/threads/to-all-of-us-who-have-massive-video-game-backlogs.44513/ I made 2 pledges. One to stop buying games in seasonal sales and another to stop adding to the hidden gems backlog. Well, I managed to stick to the first pledge, but the...

    Where do l post this?????

    Absolutely, I’ll always be grateful to the people who bravely talk about deeply personal struggles on here to stand in solidarity with myself and others, both on the forum and via PM. They really helped me out with navigating through my own issues. So hopefully I can respond in kind by giving...

    Cooperation among species

    Looks like they train their sheepdogs better across the pond. Here, their antics go beyond herding sheep… Grand Theft Doggo. Caused tailbacks for miles. Must have been a ruff day.

    Talking About Buses.........

    This is a local landmark, the top of a very old steam locomotive on a carriage. No idea of the exact history or reason. It sits next to the road on the site of an old coal mine, now a museum. They keep the restored engines indoors in the engine shed, but this poor lad has been left outside for...
