Today's forest walk did wonders for my mood and well being. I need to make this a daily habit again. Nature heals.

I found some really cool and colourful mushrooms. I cherry picked the nicest pictures and I'll share them tomorrow. 🦊🧡

Germany says No to EU plans for chatcontrol. Finally some good news.

Germany's CDU political party will vote against it they announced today. (After getting flooded with protest mails)

The law would've allowed insight into private chats, effectively banning secure messengers like Signal in Europe.

Flechte / Lichen

A symbiosis between algae / cyanobacteria, fungi and bacteria. They come in many different shapes and colours and despite looking plant-like they're not plants. They're microscopic colonies of various life forms that work together to survive.

It is hard to get a sharp camera focus on small moving insects.

I was just about to say, the flashlight switching was a big part of what made the game so tense. I also prefer the original release for that reason.

Hallowe'en post #7:
In Mega Man 7, if you hold down the B button when selecting Shade Man's stage (if you haven't defeated him yet), instead of the normal Shade Man stage music, you get music from another Capcom game, Ghosts 'N Goblins.

I'd never want to be rich because rich people are always worried about losing their money, or getting cheated, or not making enough money.

It sounds so pointlessly stressful. And when we die we leave it all behind. So what's the point?

Mean Bean Tsuu, a Mean Bean Machine hack, making the game much better than ever!

The Opening Theme from Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (1993) sounds a lot like Kraftwerk - Home Computer (1981)

The opening sounds from Home Computer were based on the Texas Instruments Speak & Spell Toy (1978) which can be found emulated here: archive.org/details/hh_s...

As a kid I always loved playing harmless little tricks on people like placing an object where it doesn't belong and things like that.

I still enjoy doing that. ^-^

That's a good point too, they always show successful autists who found a job and can use their skills.

But there are also many of us stranded or being unable to find a place in the world. And that's never shown on TV either.

I haven't heard of Dave's Garage yet. I'll take a look. I always enjoy hearing of other people's experiences being on the spectrum.

For ideas and tipps, and also just to see what's similar or different for others. Exactly because everyone's so different but we tend to have some things in common. :3

Boards of Canada's Olsen performed on a PDP-1. Holy shit.

If by chance you look for me
Perhaps you'll not me find
For I'll be in my castle
Enquire for Reynardine

Sun and dark I followed him
His eyes did brightly shine
He took me o'er the mountains
My own sweet Reynardine

I took my username both from this song and the medieval cycle of Reynard the Fox. 🦊🎵

She's a real fighter. The matrix style slo-mo dodges made me laugh out loud when I first saw them.

A friend called me a walking taperecorder because I know so many folk songs. 🦊📼🎵

My head is filled with folk tunes and words. I could fill an evening just singing you different versions of the same folk song like Barbara Allen.

I love version comparison. I try to hunt down every version of a song.

This goes so far that people said "you can't be autistic" because I'm not like the guy from Big Bang Theory on TV.

I'm a cheerful, emotional, talkative person who has trouble with smalltalk and implicit language. I suck at maths. I was diagnosed at age 21. But TV doesn't show people like me. 🦊

Hollywood and TV have been pushing a stereotype of emotionally cold, humourless "little genius" autism and it annoys me. It doesn't reflect reality. It gives people a wrong idea.

Autism is a broad spectrum and every person is different. It's absolutely not true that all autists are like that. 🦊

Got a Japanese original Xbox controller today. Was surprised to see that the ABXY buttons were slightly different, with the letters being embossed which is pretty cool. I primarily got it because I like the centre circle being bright green like the console itself.

Never knew Japanese Xbox controllers were any different. I like the embossed letters and the green circle too. It looks cool.
