Deception

RUUUUUUUST CODE UR "TRANSPILER" IN RUUUUUUUST lol. But btw don't try Unity, it feels like it is held together with duct tape and bugs out every 10 minutes. And I think I have developed a mortal fear of Unreal Engine after I tried to learn it a few months ago. It has like 15 different systems and each one is like learning a whole new programming language.

YALL. USE GODOT. OR RUST. IM PART OF THE RUST CULT. RUST IS THE BEST. LEARN RUST RUST RUST RUST RUST RUST RUST RUST RUST. No but actually use Godot Engine (ask chatgpt what that is, I'm too lazy to explain it), it's really good. Roblox is also nice except now you can't publish games unless you are ID verified and have a subscription so I quit making games for the platform.

*reads post* *sees word "programming"* "AAAEEEAAAEEEEEE" You said your interest used to be programming? My interest is... usually programming... *video games sometimes* right now and has been for years, on top of just enjoying learning stuff. Apparently up to 50% of high functioning autistic people become programmers, which I think is kinda insane. I don't know what the percentage is for ADHD but it could be high too. I can also totally relate to starting being impossible. That is a trait of basically every neurodivergent condition you can name, just wanting to do something but never actually starting it. I don't have ADHD, fortunately for me. I don't know if I could handle that on top of my autism, especially since ADHD makes it hard to focus ... but autistic people rely on focusing on one thing for hours to recharge ... that would stink. Could you tell me more about what kind of programming you did?

That is in such bad shape all of the pages are blended together into one big white block. I have an ink covered sandwich signed by @SandwichBreaker because why not

YEEEEEEES I FOUND A THREAD!!! I was literally about to make a neurodivergence thread myself, but I decided to check first and I found this one! I have a very interesting situation: I am twice-exceptional, or 2e. It means that I am neurodivergent (autism in my case), and have an IQ of over 130. Now to answer a few questions I saw to the best of my ability: 1) Different personalities: I think this is a normal part of masking (hiding ND traits while in public). I do it myself, and I have heard about this being a thing before. 2) Discomfort while doing nothing: YES!!!!!!! That happens to me so much!!! 3) @Usseewa very long answer to the question about fear of being wrong: I have some of this fear, but I think it isn't as bad for me as it could be because of my high IQ, which compensates for a lot of my autism related problems. You can't fear being wrong if you are never wrong sort of stuff - of course, I am still wrong sometimes, but I have a massive ego and I can sort of just use it to soak up social consequences. However, that fear is still there. I know that neurotypical people also have this problem though, and I don't know if mine is worse than theirs. You also said you hate when someone misinterprets your answers. I do think this can be very annoying. I have this one English teacher this year that just constantly misinterprets my answers, repeats some twisted version of what I said to the entire class, then explains why that twisted version is wrong. It sucks. I think that basically, these traits are very common in neurodivergent people and having them increases the chance that you probably do have autism or another condition, but it isn't a guarantee, and you shouldn't be trusting random forum posts for stuff like this anyway, really. IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH HERE IF UR SKIMMING MY YAPPY RESPONSE READ THIS I actually had a very similar problem to what you described, but not in academic situations. In basketball. I played on a basketball team, and I totally sucked at the game. I constantly dropped the ball, panicked, and missed shots - I totally sucked. Because of that, I would just try to get rid of the ball as fast as possible once it was passed to me so I couldn't make a mistake. I invented some bogus logical explanation for this, that I wanted to get the ball more and that if I messed up I wouldn't be passed to as much... but this was clearly wrong and I knew it. If I wanted to get the ball more, why was I throwing it away? I believe this was actually just a fear of messing up in front of my peers, and my brain had invented a nonsensical explanation for me to believe. However, I have now fully overcome the basketball situation. I will tell you how I did it, and maybe you will figure out how to transfer this to your academic situation. I started playing in slightly worse leagues against worse players to build my confidence handling the ball, because these players were even worse than I was. Then, I switched back to better leagues, and just forced myself to play normally for a couple games. After everything went well, I realized my entire fear of getting the ball was dumb and it disappeared. So basically the best way to overcome this fear, at least in my experience, is to start in lower pressure situations and work your way up. Force yourself to share answers in slightly lower pressure situations, and hopefully your entire fear of being wrong will crumple after a few successful tries. It's like a rollercoaster: the first time is super scary, but the second time you do it is much better and it only gets easier from there. If everything goes well, your brain should naturally attack an irrational fear and remove it. The only problem now arises if this fear isn't fully irrational, if there is bullying, mocking, or something else actually punishing you for being wrong. In this case, I'm just going to use scare tactics on you: If you never do something in the first place, people will see you as a whole lot dumber than if you just do it and fail sometimes. Would you rather be seen as a work avoider or as a normal human being who makes mistakes sometimes but usually is fine? Besides, anyone who browses this forum is probably smart enough to do well in life, and anyone with the braveness to post something like that clearly has the emotional intelligence to be successful as well. ---------- Ok, now a (completely unrelated to that massive essay) word about autistic flow and focus. Autistic people like me can enter a deep flow state to get tons of work done very quickly and thoroughly, but cannot switch tasks as easily and cannot function as well as a neurotypical person while outside of a flow state (usually). I utilized that flow state to write my massive multi paragraph post. I would like to ask any other autistic forum users about their focus (your parents probably call it an obsession or an addiction, but it is basically just an activity that an autistic person is very good at and would do all day if they could). Below this post, you may info dump about whatever that interest is (or just casually talk about it), and I will read it and genuinely enjoy reading it as well, and probably respond, since part of my focus is learning, so reading about any facts or information is fun for me regardless of who wrote about it or what the info is about. Try to bring back this thread, everyone! It's really useful. @Verdance@KnightSkye Reforged @Hmmm lies @CoderDrag0n8 @Ink and Embers

Did you know, The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start." P.S. You just lost The Game.

The rules of this game are simple. With each post, you MUST add ONE bolded word to the story. This will be the next word of the story. No double posting! Every post must contribute a word. You may have other nonsense too, but you must contribute a word. With each post, copy and paste the entire story from the last post and into yours before your added word. Bold the whole story. For example: bob says "Lift tried to eat the pizza, but then". Joe then posts, "Lift tried to eat the pizza, but then kaboom", etc. I will go first: Once

brooooo there goes my 13 year streak

I grab the hot potato and toss it back into the sandwich thread.

I summon a horde of angry random forum dudes, who mob NerdSandwich. Unfortunately, in his anger, one of the forum dudes not only steals the actual sandwich but also steals the word off of NerdSandwich's name, turning her into Nerd. Then, I bore the random forum dudes to sleep with a wall of big bolded text about sandwiches before walking over and stealing the sandwich from the now sleeping forum dude. Then, I stick a big , hairy, slimy worm in the sandwich for whoever steals it next to find. Finally, I hold the sandwich, which cannot be destroyed according to the rules of this thread, above my head in an attempt to shield myself from whatever goes boom next. Then, I take the hot potato that keeps getting thrown into this thread and eat it.

Bro don't tell me you actually read this whole thread...

"Wait...", says Kevin. "What's a plotblade again? If I lived in a book, about 200 pages would have passed since plotblades were introduced. I can't remember!"

what about background darkeyes # 67

I want to test this game when you release it. I am a programmer myself, so I will be more helpful as a play tester than your average, random joe. I unfortunately cannot help actually develop the game as a part of the team, though )-: Email [email protected] and I will tell you my real Email address that I can test from. PLZ LET ME TEST IT SOUNDS SOOOO FUN!!! Also, you probably already thought of these, but a few tips anyway: 1): Tin gives important enemies and objects glowing outlines. You can also control your camera zoom to some extent while using Tin, to zoom in on a specific object 2): You could mimic atium enhancing mental speed in a few ways: - if the game is single player: slow down time within the game to give the player more time to think. - if the game is multiplayer: this is a bit cheap sounding, but it is your best option. Make the player automatically dodge incoming attacks with a certain limit of dodges per minute, and give them slight aimbot. 3): You will not be able to maintain realistic physics forever. Add a system that detects when the player is attempting certain maneuvers, like if they are trying to perform a Pull slingshot, single anchor hovering, or steel jumping, then override physics for the specific action. If possible, you could add a toggle in the settings for this feature, but have it default to ON. 4): The blue line idea is great, but also not fully realistic for actual gameplay. You will need a glowy blue overlay or tint on metal objects for playability. Keep the lines, but add this tint instead. You all probably already knew a lot of this, but I just wanted to say it anyway in case any of these tips are helpful to you.

To me at least, the consequences of this seem obvious. I don't know if this is right, but I think that basically: - A cadmium savant would get so used to using cadnium to skip boring and bad things that they begin to increase the amount of things that they skip, forming tolerance and an addiction, until they barely ever step out of their cadmium bubble for extremely exciting events. Remember that savantism usually comes with an addiction/reliance on the metal.

Bro. We still need someone with animation experience to actually make an edit out of this! I am not kidding when I say you could make thousands of dollars off a single youtube short with an animation of this thing.

Idk if I can post this in the Mistborn forum but it relates to the topic so i'm just going to hope I can. You would make a much more successful career as a Radiant from Roshar, you could stab yourself full of swords and then heal from them while nobody looks, or LITERALLY CUT YOUR ARM OFF and be FINE.

Kelsier would be really fun to play, with all of the combat scenes and stuff. I would also enjoy playing the Lord Ruler but there is absolutely no way I could pull off that kind of role.

This is actually so good GUYS SOMEONE MAKE AN EDIT OF THIS IM TOO TRASH AT ANIMATION TO DO IT

One of the reasons I would choose tin is because it takes a ton of practice to get good at, while pewter comes more naturally. It would feel like cheating if I was instantly a master.

I chose tineye. I do think it would be really cool to burn Pewter - I would probably become the best athlete of all time, could bike to school super fast, heal from injuries, etc. However, I think it would be even more cool to be a tineye and sit on top of a big hill and look down, use super hearing to pinpoint the sound of someone playing a video game on their phone, use super vision to look at their screen and steal their join code, then join and troll them. Also, nobody could whisper about you while you burn tin, because you could overhear any conversation within hundreds of feet. What's more, with practice and modern strategies, maybe I could learn to do even more insane things like echolocation, or to track something by scent like a dog would. Besides, isn't tin just way more common and slower burning than pewter? I could burn tin all day without spending significant money on metal, but if I were a pewterarm that may not be the case.
