@groth I think, until this awareness of my being on the spectrum, my go-to was always to try fit in and fake everything and hope no one would notice. So while at home I might stick to wearing the same things (usually boot-leg jeans + random geek inspired shirt + cute printed bamboo socks), I would be hyper aware of what I wore out last time I saw person x and I try not to wear the same thing, in case I get 'caught out'.

Now I'm slowly starting to be more me. But it's just also being aware of where I can do that and where I can't. And that can be anxiety inducing trying to figure that out. I know in an ideal world that would be everywhere. I'm still slowly figuring it all out.

It's scary though, sometimes. With all this masking, for so long, trying to delve beneath that to work out how who I am.

@Meg I was a very new addition to the Thrax, and didn't know about or attend the funeral. I can't speak for anyone else's experiences but my own was really good. Everyone on an OOC level was great.

@too-old-for-this I have a particular fondness and something of an obsession with bamboo socks. They feel so nice on.

@Arkandel said in What do you play most?:

To be entirely honest here I have been playing the most what most people have been playing the most.

WoD for me was a derived preference. I like well populated, active games, and those have historically been the ones to match the description.

I'm an off peak player so I kind of need to gravitate towards games that are well populated just out of necessity, as they tend to be the ones that are more likely to have people around in my time zone. So the code base used isn't usually one selected out of preference.

In saying that, I tend to prefer fantasy, historical, or modern fantasy previously. Though I'd love to play a good sci fi, or post apoc.

@herja When I was a kid I couldn't control my emotions, and so when I was getting told off, and in serious trouble for something, I'd laugh. Giggle even. You can just imagine how well this went down. Suffice to say, punishments esculated substantially. Alot.

Maybe someday there will be a Mu* gaming and design discussion forum that has no place for or interest in bashing other people (whether they feel like that bashing is totally legit or not, that is not what I am focusing on here)

Apparently there is one. Someone passed along the advertisement for it the other day. It's new, so I didn't see any posts there when I signed up.

http://www.mushology.com is it.

There is also Optional Realities, where game devs, designers and players discuss different approaches:- http://optionalrealities.com/forums
