ABR Discussion Thread XVI: Matters of Futures Imperfect

[Almighty Salmon]

@Salmon

Just make another character, you're allowed to have like 25+ characters by default, with more spaces unlockable. If I remember.

Yeah, i'm aware of that. But I like Defiant, all of my awesome stuff is there.

So, we'll see, I might make the jump at some point.

[Green-Shirt Q]

AWSOME!

Asperger's Syndrome

The problem with it is that nerds love to diagnose themselves with it, because it gives them an excuse for not making friends outside the internet and makes them a genius in their chosen area. These self-diagnosed folk are looked down upon with scorn and derision (it's one of the only things goons and /b/tards agree on) which spreads to other sufferers, leading to legitimately diagnosed folk being mocked as well, and all-around trivialises the disease on the internet, while in real life it's made to sound much more serious than it is by sticking it under the 'autism' umbrella.

I won't say I got all that but I haven't heard about it before the psychologist told me plus it annoys me that everyone belive I can't do anything because of it. Seriously they highly suggests me to go to 10th grade (Normal not necessary and only for people not thinking they could do without an extra year) and go to a high school for people with asberger where I wouldn't be able to choose anything myself. On another noteis that I hate to lie even small lies and would never lie about THAT. This I say assuming you meant that I/people saying they have asberger, say they have it for sounding smart.

Hey Tiff, I'll make a character on Virtue. I said I was on protector.

You're a blaster, I think I'mma go Tanker, try out the new shield defense set.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Found ya!

[Shades of Gray]

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Well, made that new character. But you aren't online now..

[Shades of Gray]

I said "PM me when you're done" I meant on gitp, which I said I was going on to, Going online now...

[The Gremlin]

It's in the spectrum of autism but autism and Aspurger are two different syndromes (the spectrum is named so because autism was discovered first and is most known I think) You can actually have mild and bad autism so it would not make sense anyway. Aspurger also include concentrating on one narrow thing that they know much about but not anything else, this isn't true for me , Lying and Gremlin if he has the syndrome.

[weird fact]Bill Gates have Aspurger by the way [/weird fact]




Why haven't you draw a kobold WHY, no-one remembers me

He hasn't drawn me either.
Also, yes I do have AS. And it is a mild form of autism. Minus the 'mild'. Aspurgers is high-functioning autism. It isn't just a 'less bad/significant' version of it. NPR didn't even MENTION high-functioning autism. But Aspurgers is, technically, a spectrum of autism. It falls under the 'autism' category. People who have AS, though, do not necessarily have traits of autism in general.

[CrimsonAngel]

Huh. I didn't know that. I learned something today.

[Lyinginbedmon]

We're not the Rain Man, but we can be a lot like him.

And now we can stop talking about this before the thread gets locked.

[The Gremlin]

Seconded. If one wants to talk about the story, make a separate thread for it.

[CrimsonAngel]

You started the discussion in the first place...

[DoomITP]

soooo...I need to remind everyone. I GOT ON THE FISH WITH LYING AND NAMLESS + SALMON AND everyone seems to have forgotten.

[The Gremlin]

You started the discussion in the first place...

I know, and now I'm asking to drop it.

[DoomITP]

[CrimsonAngel]

Flowers and rainbows! o_o

[Shades of Gray]

Argh! CoH stopped working.

Anyway, I got some pics for you.

Tiff's Character

I'm waiting for Tiff to get back from being AFK

Dekopin remains ever vigilant for villains. Unfortunately, she is not looking out for trains.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Ah so it stopped working? Trial ran out or something?

I thought you ditched me. D:

[DoomITP]

[Bayar]

I wish I had other european's / states people money...I could have bought more games.

At this rate, i buy an original game at about 6 months. Damn romanian mentality.

[Shades of Gray]

No, the client stopped working, got bugged.

It's only my second day of the trial.

[The Gremlin]

geez gremlin. It looks like someone's grumpeh

No, why would I be 'grumpeh' at CA? Especially since he was being so annoying on the Hurt/Heal, and hasn't even responded to me there either.

[DoomITP]

release thine stress and make a new comic

[Tiffanie Lirle]

No, the client stopped working, got bugged.

You gonna try to get it working again, or are you done for now?

[CrimsonAngel]

Tales of pirates?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Well, Maple story, and Grand chase jump to mind. But they're both pretty repetitive grinders, fun at first, but the novelty wears off pretty quickly.

I would suggest Gunz: the duel. Preferably the north American version. That game never gets old.

OH, BTW, did you know that i am running TWO keyboards at the same time at the same computer ? This are weird times we are living
