Any PS4 peeps here? I've noticed that PKGs for Rune Factory 4 Special and Rune Factory 5 are not on any of the usual sites. Does anyone know where they could be found?

Why does "oolong" sound vaguely pornographic when I say it out loud? ? 🫢

Deaths Door
This game is an isometric hack-and-slash ( game viewed from the top) with a very interesting premise. You e a raven with a sword and an energy arrow, tasked with retrieving orbs for your company.

So what's the idea behind using the hashtag?

It feels unwelcoming to me. Like I shouldn't engage here if I'm not autistic enough. I'm second guessing my own experiences less by the day, but from what I've heard almost everyone with late diagnosis have felt gaslit and left out throughout their lives. With all the self doubt that entails, seeing people proclaiming they're actually autistic feels like yet another "you don't belong here".

@neversosimple I’m also late autistic. My take is we speak for ourselves rather than health care professionals or even well intentioned family members. Autism is so broad and diverse in how it shows up that it’s hard not to feel fraudulent (especially with well meaning people saying no you’re not or isn’t everyone a little autistic?). If you’re autistic the hashtag is for you.

neversosimple OP ,
@neversosimple@mstdn.social avatar

@Elizabeth3 Thank you for replying, I was hoping that's the angle rather than exclusivity. :)

We both point to the same thing: the self doubt that comes from our surroundings trying to convince us otherwise.

Seems my doubts took it one step further expecting the same from other people with autism. I won't assume exclusion from anyone who uses it, but I think I'll be wary of using it myself due to my initial reaction.

I created a blog in which I talk about the main characters of the game overwatch2 and I would like to invite and challenge you to go to the blog HTTPS://playstationcouch.com and leave in the comments the right and wrong about what I said about the characters 😉😉

An Indiana public library is moving 1300 young adult titles to the adult section--making them unavailable to the readers the books were written for, many of whom need those books to survive their lives.

The library is spending over $300,000 just to deny teens the right to read books written for and about them.

Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?

  • Maybe you no longer have time, or, there are no modern ports or adaptation.

I'll start with mine.

(in no particular order)

It seems easier to play than , but as you progress, it is actually challenging. I love the challenge.

  1. / (DOS version specifically).

If I am not mistaken, before there was the franchise, there was “Empire”. It was a fun game. There is available on , but I miss the DOS version that I played a lot.

A very fun game. Once I start playing this, time flies fast. I miss this game.

Here's a video of it, it's hard to explain this game as there are many features/gameplay “modes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBJ0q52bXJM

Modern games today are usually limited to certain themes. If it's flight, it's flight. If it's tank, it's tank. If it's strategy, that's it. Carrier Command have it all.

  1. / (DOS)

Years before the era of came. RPG-ish space game that made me felt exploring space. This was new to me then and I enjoyed it.

  1. / (DOS)

I know, we can still play this today, however, what I miss with this game is the 2 player mode.

You just play with your friend and blast each other to friendly matches and laughter.

Being able to play 2P mode, face-to-face, is something that we have taken for granted, and now we're all just virtual avatars in online games (even online multiplayer games).


So, how about you?

Elite Beat Agents.

The game came out for the Nintendo DS, and made strong use of the touchscreen. While emulators and even Osu provide other options for playing, even touchscreens can’t mimic the feel of hitting beats with a stylus. I even feel moderately the same way about games like Trauma Center, another good DS classic based on performing fantastical surgery.

Yes,

I played it on a car ride.

I admit, the cat was the only reason why I bought the game in the first place. I regret nothing for it, though I can see how the charm doesn’t work on others.

How many interviews have actually been done with homeless people? How many of their stories of struggle have you actually heard?

Few to none I'll bet. That's because everyone involved in producing the glamour of a thriving society makes it a priority to suppress just how badly it's failing.

Thanks, very neat! I hope they become useful for people whose voices are under/mis-represented, the way the signal of helped replace some noise from autism speaks on and spread from there.

Looking into that tag led to finding this article, which seems interesting and I will post here, but haven’t fully read yet.

Went for a little run

Went for a little 4k run between my hotel and the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc. I even spotted some green Monk Parrots, the same as we have back home. They're actually native to South America, but have been introduced to at least two continents, without becoming disruptive to the local ecosystems. One of the first things I noticed when we arrived was their distinctive call, welcoming us. You know, if they can make a home here maybe I can, too, someday.

and I have an article in Social Sciences
'Offshoring Refugees: Colonial Echoes of the -Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership' https://mdpi.com/2076-0760/12/8/451
part of the special issue The Legacies in and Welfare in Europe.

@uttaras@mastodon.social avatar

There are certainly some international parallels, such as Australia’s ‘Pacific Solution’ of ‘offshoring’ asylum, which is often cited as an inspiration. Yet a much clearer precedent involving the forcible movement of people to countries where they have no personal or legal connection existed for many years in the British Empire.
