| No one seems interested in pencil-paper-dice games any more. It's all about video games. :( Sure there are. I play a tabletop role playing game with some friends every week. They're just not something people do quite as often with other folks online, for obvious reasons, so they're not spoken abou... |

| I won two Soul Survivor games back to back last night on Hunt Showdown which was super cathartic after the bad week I've had on that game. |

| Very encouraging how many folks do something similar, I know music is about emotions I don't think feeling something when you listen to music is an autism specific trait or anything, I just mean I don't know anyone else personally that does the same thing, essentially microdosing feelings from speci... |
