Closer to 40 now! I think society has opened up to a lot of hobbies over the years. Used to be a closeted nerd myself as a female in video games but its nice that hobbies and fandom’s are more acceptable now than before.

I can see that! MTG is an older game… And used to be more for niche populations. Same as anime I suppose. I was wondering if its due to geographical location as well.

Hmm. I am not neurodivergent but also am unsure if they attract more neurodivergent hobbyists than neurotypical hobbyists? Or TCGs attract neurodivergents more than any other hobbies? Could be location too? Idk I have so many questions and an internet search isnt coming up.

At my local CA a majority of people seem neurotypical to me, a few are socially awkward yes, and maybe of an average of 42 people on a commander night maybe 2-3 I know for sure neurodivergent. There’s a difference between socially awkward though and neurodivergent… Anyways, happy to share the hobby with anyone but would like everyone to be clean or hygienic if possible!! Sucks a few people perpetuate this stereotype :/

I understand why people with autism can have difficulty bathing but do TCGs attract more neurodivergents? I played YuGiOh and now actively play MTG. I don’t think I’ve noticed myself?

Tainted Grail. I made a necroarcher and having a blast

I think its sad and not just a California problem. However, the whole issue is very nuanced.

However, if someone were to run a kill shelter, I have no idea what the normal procedures are and I don’t think they should be labeled “no kill”. They should represent themselves appropriately and let people know from the places the dogs are from that they will try their best but there is a chance the dog will still be euthanized/killed anyways.

This site has more interesting info and their solutions align with solutions at end of the SacBee article (more pet friendly housing, fosterling, more veterinarians, etc)

Oddly I found updating my newpipe often works and turning off my VPN. Unsure if it works for you but its often a fix for my phone.

Reserved mine but am not as upset as other people seem. Glad steam is selling well and I just accept its a severe supply issue. I think its as the article says. They didnt anticipate this level of demand and theyre even trying to catch up in 2027.

Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems and Will Farrell in Everything Must Go+Stranger Than Fiction were different performances than their usual and really well acted.

Kevin James… I don’t think I’ve yet to see him in any different role

Kevin Hart.

Wow. Thanks for the rec. Wishlisted!

Agree. I think either way its dangerous.

My friend rides and he had to mod his to have option to quiet it down when he goes back home to his apt building.

However, I do understand why he needs it loud everywhere else. Cars as is may not see him and the loudness helps… However, I wouldn’t trust other drivers still.

OPs examples have one couple but still other friends.

Oh I only watched like four episodes

Omg I forgot What We Do in the Shadows!!

The New Girl Only Murders in the Building Platonic

Lots of coworker shows: Brooklyn 99 Abbott Elementary The Oroville SuperStore The Office

And even more Anime vs. Cartoons

I downvote for inaccurate/old/not relevant/misinformation.

However, I also see down votes on the posts themselves to signify for others they disagree with the finding/topic but I myself try to refrain from doing that to still encourage people to keep posting.

I.E. Topics that are not privacy-respecting but still interesting is commonly downvoted, some trivial news sometimes about media, etc.

Honestly, if its an article I dont agree with the findings of, I just move on. No downvotes or up votes.

Subscribed!!

Slay the spire 2. Still addicted.

Docking mine to my stereo system and TV sort of messed up the settings. Like my surround sound doesn’t work anymore. So I moved my steam deck to a different TV that doesn’t have a nice stereo unit on it.
