| I related to the coyote in the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons. I kept trying, and kept getting 'splats'. It shows good writing to be able to human a villain and make their experiences relatable. Sometimes they will give the hero and the villain the same back story and show how our choices and how to... |

| Anyone want to team up (ie. form a party) for some Rocket League this weekend? I'm getting tired of the randomly assigned squads, I want to actually talk to the people I'm playing with! I’m just a silver but I’ve got all the basic mechanics down. (Working on learning to aerial…) PM me. Thanks! irrev... |

| I agree with DuckHairback, Minecraft lets you take control of the world in ways that are difficult to impossible in the real world. When I built my creeper wall around my farm, I know that my cow herd is safe. I'm going to install stairs all the way to the bottom of my mine. I know exactly how many ... |

| Hi Schwiitzer, So what do you want to play? The only things I own on Steam that match your criteria are Terraforming Mars and MiniMetro. I do like building games and use to spend long periods of time building civilizations on the original Civ. I get what you mean about mixing the 'social' and the 'g... |

I am not sure if I am on the spectrum or not. I do have Schizophrenia, however. And Social Phobia. Thanks in advance. Your Mom has given you rath... |

At least I know that it is not 'their' fault. The world is the way the way it is, and we just got to deal with it. I remember once at a le... |

Yes, I have difficulty talking with other people about the things I find interesting and which take up my time. The main issue is that my default is 'fla... |

Try going for a walk, but, in your head, call out your steps. "Left, right, left, right"... Watch what the rest of you brain does. How long can you do it for? Does it capture your focus? Can you still have other thoughts? Is your brain calmer?

| From your posts, I can see that your friend has explained to you what he believes. Do you think you can get your friend to explain to you why he believes it? If yes, have the conversation. I doubt you are at risk of having _your_ mind changed, but now you will understand how your friend makes decisi... |

I remember how hard school was. Even if you figured out one year, the next year was just going to be different.
Did we dream of being free as adults?
Can we forgive our teachers for teaching the right lessons in the wrong way?
