| I'm very, very afraid to read or watch the news since I'm incredibly touchy about politics, and hate how sometimes politics is injected into non-political stories. I'm afraid to even look at newspapers since their headlines can scream at me, and whenever I hear or read something political, my heart ... |

| There are quite a few TV shows, particularly animated, that I've given up on in the past because of certain characters, such as The Simpsons since I don't find child abuse remotely humorous, South Park because of Stan's abusive older sister, and Family Guy because I don't like Brian's politics. I re... |

| Whenever a game has a selection of difficulty levels, I almost always play on the easiest, since hard games can really grate on me, and their flaws tend to be most apparent on highest difficulty levels. I'm also sick of one-size-fits-all difficulty, and while people say games can be stress relief, I... |

| Hi all, I'm looking for feedback on the latest version of my first fantasy novel, entitled Saga Terra: Odysseus, which I heavily revised with the online program AutoCrit, and more information about which can be found at its Amazon page: http://hyperurl.co/sagaterraodysseus I'm willing to provide fre... |

| I like Enchanted Arms a hell of a lot more than the Souls games (I was only able to get through Demon's Souls using an in-game cheat), and wish they would produce a follow-up to that instead of another crappy unplayable piece of shoe. |

| Why has this game gotten such wonderful reviews despite its endless flaws such as no pause button, no in-game maps, little to no music, and repetition galore if you die? It really leads me to believe that "professional" game critics were bribed to give it such ovation, and as most game rev... |

| Does it upset anyone here when someone makes an unprovoked attack against something you like? Because my older sister said a movie I liked was terrible, and it just pissed me off to the point where I was considering unfriending her on Facebook and even disowning her. It's a hell of a lot better, in ... |

| I currently take Ativan, Prozac, Zyprexa, and Luvox, for reference. I've been having a very difficult time reading books, and once I've finished them, in my LiveJournal, I can barely piece together a comprehensive review, and when I finish Kindle books, I often have a difficult time writing a detail... |

| It could be. I've actually enjoyed books with strong nonfictional elements such as A Night of Horrors by John C. Berry about the 24 hours during which Abraham Lincoln's assassination occurs. |

| If someone online attacks a videogame you like or gushes over a videogame you dislike, does it upset you? This person on RPGamer recently attacked a series of games I thought were enjoyable, and it just made my blood boil. I'm also a videogame reviewer mainly of Japanese RPGs, and I have a very, ver... |

| I'll add another: games that don't include playing time (like the Etrian Odyssey titles) or make it difficult to view playing time, for instance, only when you save (like SMT:DDS). |

Have any of you had this kind of response? Dealing with neurotyp... |
